Philadelphia Postmaster Likely to Be
Reappointed Many Prominent
Callers on Various Interests.

Various topics of interest and impor-
tance were discussed at the meeting of the
cabinet today, postponed from yesterday,
but no decisions of consequence were
reached. Secretaries Hay and Root were
both absent, the former being still confined
to his home by heavy cold and the latter
being a witness in the Wood case before
the Senate committee on military affairs
Secretary Moody mentioned the Panama
situation only to refer to a letter which ne
had received from Rear Admiral Walker
He said that it's contents did not differ es-
sentiaily from the information which had
been received by cable from the isthmus.
Attorney General Knox received the con-
gratulations of the President and his 1el-
low-cabinet members on his brilliant argu-
ment in the Northern Securities case be-
fore the United States Supreme Court.
The vacancy on the civil service commis-
sion created by the sudden death or Jonn
X. Proctor will be filed by the President
as soon he has time TO give the mater
consideration. The appointee must, undcI
tthe civil service law, be a democrat, ana
it is positively stated that the President
has not so far discussed withany person
the name of any man. His close pefsoi,;tl ;ll
relations with Mr.. Proctor would naturally
cause him annoyance to be approached at
once in behalf of any candidate, put II Is

these will be presented by democrats OF
prominence cannot be stated. 1t has been
suggested that if the democrats of the
Senate should see fis to unite upon a man
for recommends tion to the President he
might act upon it, but so far as known
the Senate democrats, as body, show no
intention of making recommendation, al
though individual senators may present the
names of candidates from their respective
sta teS
The President will seek a democrat whose
views are of nature to assure the contin-
uation of the civil service spirit that has
been manifest in the commission since the
advent of the present administration. The
man need not possess other qualifications
that personally suit the President, but he
must be a genuine and sincere advocate OF
civil service, and be familiar with the laws
and their operation. 1t is predicted that
some difficulty will be found in settling
upon a democrat who meets the ideas of the
President as to what a commissioner should
be. Mr. Proctor, by reason of his long
service and through the courtesy OF his re-
publican associates, remained as chairman
of the civil service commission during two
republican administrations, but one of the
