MERRITT LIKELY
TO BE APPOINTED
No Candidates Appear for
Local POstmastership.
MATTER NOT YET TAKEN UP
One or Two Men Mentioned for Place.
Are Making Little Effort
to Get 1t.

The local postmastership seems likely
TO go 10 Postmaster Merritt almost with
out an effort on his part. A singular
scarcity Of candidates exists. Not only
is there no local candidate seeking 70
diSplace Nj. Merritt. but there is no
opposition to him from outside candi-
dates.
At the Postoffce Department II Is
given out that the appointment Of a
successor to Mr.. Merritt has not yet
been taken up with the President. II is
not yet certain when this will be done.
Endorsements from a large number OF
local politicians and business men have
been nled in Mr. Merritt's behalf. The
Postmaster G,Ueral has not yet gone
through these preparatory to bringing
them TO the Presidents attention.
While one or two District men have
been mentioned as alternatives in case
Mr.. Merritt were not reappointed no
movement has been made to back them
up with Endorsements. Mr.. Merritt still
rests under the shadow Of the recent
exposures in the Postoffice Department.
but in spite of this. he seems likely TO
get the appointment.

DEMOCRATS DEMAND
UNQUALIFIED ORDER
Senate Minority Not Willing to Trust Discretion of
President in Furnishing Correspondence
as to Panama Matter

The assertion that the President Of
the United States can at any time re-
fuse to comply with the official demand
OF the Senate for information was
made on the floor of the Senate today
by Mr.. Cullom of Illinois, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee. and
one of the leaders on the Republican
side.
This point of view was vehemently
contested by Mr.. Tillman, who declared
he hoped no Senator would ever agree
TO such a yielding of this inherent right
of the Senate.
Cites Cleveland Incident.
Mr.. Hale defended the contention rails
ed by Mr. Cullom. and said President
Cleveland had once, on a request for in
forma ton relating to an appointment.
absolutely refused to comply.
This brought Mr. Cockren to his feet
in an explanation of Cleveland's atti-
tude, saying he had ultimately sent the
information and had at first withheld 1t
because it was not properly and clearly
asked for. To this Mr.. Mitchell added.
saying there had been three resolutions
of a contradictory nature.
Mr. Cullom declared all the informa-
ton desired WOuiu De sent Dy Ine fTeSl-
dent without an amendment. IF not in
his judgment incompatible with the pub
lie interest" but that President ROose-
welt insisted upon the amendment as a
courtesy. following the usual custom.
He eulogized the President and his hon
esty. adding If the Democrats thought
they could catch the President in an un-
truth they would fail.
Mr.. Cuiberson resented this intimation
of Mr.. Cullom, who continued his ex-
planatiOn and insisted on the amend
ment's adoption.
How Debate Began.
The Panama question came up as soon
as the morning business was concluded,
and a number Of the res 7lufi7ns intro
duced by Democratic members were
considered.
The debate centered on the Culberson
composite resolution. approved by the
Democratic caucus last week and intro
duced on Monday last. calling on the
The Washington times., 1904-01-28

President to inform the Senate whether
he has sent all the Panama correspond
ence TO the upper house. and If not, to
forward it forthwith. This led to the
proposal of two amendments and a
speech by Mr.. Culberson
Mr.. Cullom suggested that March is.

desk. inserted in n copy of the resolu-
tion the words "snce June 2S 1902" He
handed this to Mr. CulbyrsOn. who
moved it's adoption. and the Senate
agreed. 1t is the date on which the
Spooner amendment was approved by
the President
Insist on Information.
The amendment which drew the fire
of the Texans oratory was proposed BY
Mr.. Cullom. to add at the end of the
resolution the words: III not. in his
Judgment. incompatible with the public
interest"
With such a provision attached. II
was evident. in the minds Of minority
Senators. that the resolution would be
ineffective. as the President could keeI
from the Senate anything which he did
rot care TO have known. Mr.. Culber-
sons remarks tended to the support OF
this view. with quotations from prece-
dents of a similar sort.
To this. Mr.. Cullom replied. insist
ing on his amendment as proper court
esy to the President following custom.
Discourtesy Not Intended.
Mr. German took the floor when Mr..
Cullom concluded and spoke as the leader
of the minority. He declared there was
no disposition On his side OF the chamber
TO show any discoUrtesy TO the Execu-
tive. we have too much respect foI
that Office, he exclaimed: but that will
not and ought not prevent us from criti-
cising any act by the occupant Of that
office"
Mr. German then went on TO quote
precedents in support of his position.

General Drake's Answer.

ELIZABETH, N. j., Jan. 8.-"Let me
discuss this claim from a military point
of view" said General Drake. Every
soldier knows that there is only one
American flag in the regiment-that is,
one flag with any standing. Companies
may have flags Of their own. but they
are without any standing. They cannot
be unturled on a march or even in
camp. The colonel would not allow such
a thing.
.One thing Is not denied-that l was
ensign of the regiment As such l was
with the color company-Company c.
placed, as a matter of course. in the
center of the regiment. as Aaron Wilkes
Post says / carried the regimental col
