said Mr. Wilcox land there Is no better
man or Christian in the country. I suppose
that some person or persons have lost a law
suit and have taken out their spite In this
way. In my opinion it is case of sour
grapes / have not seen the charges, but L
got an order from the President permitting
me TO review them at length 1t Is under
stood that an emissary of the Department
Of Justice is engaged IN making an inves-
tIgation of the charges.
The Department Of Justice Is said to keep
q large force busy investigating charges
against various officials. 1t has become
popular to turn IN charges against every
body and the next step Is to send out an
examiner to find out the accuracy of these
charges and to listen to- the knocks" that
are handed around.

TO Portugal, Where he will make some in

matters of interest to Hawaii. He secured

from the President.
Hawaii needs laborers, and 1t has been
found that the Portuguese are the most sat
isfactory of all on the sugar plantations of
the islands. 1t Is presumed that the object
of the visit of Mr.. Atkinson Is to induce i'm
migration of Portuguese to the Islands,
where they are well paid and kindly
treated.
Brooklyn Appointments.

House last night over Brooklyn appoint
mepts, those present with the President
being Timothy Woodruff. former lieutenant
governor of New York. and at present re-
publican leader of Brooklyn. and Repre-
seutatives Dunwen. Law. Calder and Waldo.
The President has refused to reappoint
Thomas Sharkey as surveyor of the port
OF New York because of alleged evasions
of the civil service. and the matter of
agreeing upon some other man is giving the
Brooklyn republicans some concern. A list
of names has been submitted TO the Pres
ident. Representatives Dunwell. Law and
Waldo have united in pressing the name
of F. J. II. Kracke, republican leader of
the eighteenth district. while Representa-
tive Calder has been urging Rudolph G.
Fuller.
Mr. woodruff has not yet submitted a
Recommendation, but when he does so it
IS probable the President will accept it.
Mr. Woodruff remained with the President
from nearly O'Clock last night until close
10 midnight when he returned to New
York. Not only were the Brooklyn appoint
meDts discussed with the Brooklyn leaders.
but the situation in New York was gone
over.
Mr. woodruff's name has been mentioned
TO succeed Ex-Governor Odell as chairman
OF the state republican committee, but Mr..
Woodruff stated last night that under no
circumstances would he accept the place.
His large business connections would pre-
vent his doing so, he said. He would not
be able to give the position his time. His
selection would be gratifying to a goodly
number of people
Mr. Woodruff expressed himself as being
opposed to any special meeting of the re-
publican state committee for the purpose
OF deposing OF State Chairman Odell.
