For Assistant Secretarysliipr and Similar High Positions the Selections Will Be From States Not Repre- sented In the Cabinet. WASHINGTOX, March 9'2.—-The president is considering the advisability of curtailing the freedom given 0 ’l’ice seekers and others who think they can best advance their in- (crests by personal visits. Several of his hiehdé, including: some senators and rep- l'cséntatives, have suggested this to Mr. McKinley, and it is stated on the best an- thOr‘Ity that he is looking for a way to car- 1y out the idea. The statement is made semiofiicially that goOgraphical considerations will in fut'ure govern appointmments for assistant secrethryships and similar high official po- sitibns and that states which are aheady repi'esented in the cabinet will not be call~ ed upon to supply assistant secretaries of the departments until other great states are cared for. This, is thought to dispose for the present of candidates for the as- sistant secretary ships of state, war, navy, treasury and interior departments at least from California, hew York, Michigan, Il~ linois, Massachusetts, Ohio and Malyland. This would apparently rule out the fol- lowing most prominent candidates: J. Harrison Otis of California for war, Judge 0. L. Spaulding of Michigan for treasury, Theodore Roosevelt of New York for navy and Bellamy Storer of Ohio for state Ohio men incline to the opinion that the gravamen of the orch nnplies to Mr Bellamy Storer, whose: ppointmer t is Op- posed by Senator Fo1aker, but favored by Senator Hanna, and that the idea. of ma}:- ing a gcncial gaograpb .ic: 1i 111li11 ; v. is to 'avoid an appearance of disciimin mo- 11 in his case. Bristow Selected. It is understood that Joseph L. Bristow of Ottawa, Kan, has been selcr'ted by President McKinley for the cilia of 1‘01: rth assistant postmaster general and that the nemination will be sent to the senate early in the week. Mr. Bristow is about 40 years old and a newspaper man, who has been interested in politics most of his life. For a number of years he was chairman of the P1 cpublic- an state cent1a1 committee of Kansas and was private secretary to Governor \Iorriil. Postmaster General Gary will continue the old policy as to distributing patronage of the postoffice, and he announces today that he would not deviate from tho prac- tice followed by past administrations. This, as a general rule, gives to every sen- ator the privilege of recommending a post- master for his home office and allots to each Republican senator the largest post— ofiices in his district, which, however, in the case of a. senator not Of the Republican faith will go to the Republican committee or other referee. Senator Hoar, acting chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, said yesterday that he would consult the other members of the committee early 1n the week about the disposition to be made of the cases of Messrs. Corbett, Wood and Henderson, who have been appointed sen- ators from the states of Oregon, Kentucky and Florida respectively. Mr. Hoar says that he has delayed calling the committee together to take up these cases because of the delay in filling the vacancies in the committee, but he does not think there should be much more less of time on this account. The Tariff Bill. The Republican members of the senate committee on finance have engaged quar- ters at the Arlington hotel in which to hold their meetings for the consideration of the tariff bill. They have taken these quarters in preference to occupying the finance committee room so as to secure greater privacy than they could have at the capitol and will furnish them, with a view to occupying them several months. The Republican members of the ways and means committee are making no (if— fort to forward the plan which has been talked of among them to push through congress a special bill to make the wool schedule of the new tariff act operative at once. They are dissuaded from this by the apparent hopelessness of being able to se- cure early action from the senate. It is still the plan of the Republican leaders to enact that all goods in bond at the date when the new tariff becomes operative shall pay the rates Of that tariff instead of the rates in effect when the goods were on- tered. This probably will be brought about by an amendment added to the bill at- the last 111 arctic blc 111 'ment as the Be- public 115 do 110:? d e:irc to indu cut the with— drawal of M111. ed goods beef re the higher rates go into efi'cct.

Tnn‘EvENINGvoazn SAYS THE KAISER: IS CRAZY. Emperor \Villiam Alleged to Be Border- ing on Absolute IMadness. LONDON, March 22,—A letter to The Daily Mail reiterates the story of Emperor William’s insanity with startling frank- ness, mentioning his majesty as being the sovereign previo’usly referred to as pinch- ing his guests and trying to trip them up with his sword. The writer says that there is no doubt that the emperor, if not specifically insane, is liable to fits of ab— erration which, while they last, are indis~ tinguishable from madness. His local derangement behind the ear and almost in contact with the brain has hitherto, it is added, been kept in safe limits by a treatment which provokes con- 'stant discharge. While the discharges last the pain is not, very great. and, the in flamation and swelling of the affected parts being relieved, there is nothing either intolerable or alarming. But it appears that it has lately become increasingly diffi- cult to maintain the process, and the re- sult is a combination of pain, excitability, depression and restlessness, which has brought the emperor to a condition fear- fully alarming. Continuing, the writer says that no HO- henzollcrn is allowed to ascend the throne or keep it if he is aillictcd with an incura~ ble disease and that it is obvious no mad- ness can be tolerated in the emperor. The knowledge of this is said to be disabling the rule of his house and is doubtless 1'11- tcnsely aggravated by the symptoms of disease. It is said that should things get but little worse Prince Henry of Prussia will be proclaimed regent, with an advi- sory council. on which the constituent sov- ereigns of the empire will be represented. MAY HAVE SAVED SIXTEEN. Some of the 111 Fated St. Nazairc Passen- gers Probably Rescued. NEW Your, March 22.——The steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II, Captain I—Iogemann, from Mediterranean ports, arrived at her dock in Hobokcn, N. J., yesterday. The logbook shows that at 1 :30 p. m. on Wednesday last, while in latitude 40 de- grees 7 minutes north and longitude 49 degrees 21 minutes west, the Kaiser Wil- helm II passed the English tramp steamer Yanariva, Captain Watson, which sailed from Newport News on March 10 for Glas- gow. The Yanariva signaled the Kaiser Wilhelm II, but owing to some mistake the signals were not plainly understamd. Chief Officer Dannemann of the Kaisei Wilhelm II said tonight that as far as they could be made out the signals wore, “Sire teen. St. Nazaire, French.” When the chief officer was asked what he thought the English steamer meant to convey, he said that he was under the i111— pression that the Yanariva had seen the St. Nazaire, but had been unable to get to her on account of rough weather. Then, again, he said, it might have been that the English ship had succeeded in rescuing ‘16 of the St. Nazaire’s passengers and that they were on their way to England. The Yanariva will not reach the other side until Thursday or Friday, and knowing that the Kaiser Wilhelm II would make port first Mr. Dannemann was under the impression that it was the intention oi the Yanariva to have the Kaiser Wilhelm II make a report. DR. WATSON A HERETIO? Charges Against Ian MacLaren at the Coming Presbyterian Synod. LONDON, March2 2.———A petition promot- ed by the Rev. Dr. Kennedy Moore will be presented at the coming Presbyterian synod against the Rev. Dr. John Wascn (Ian MacLaren) on the ground of hots-:0- dox teaching in “Mind and Master” and “The Bonnie Brier Bush.” Dr. Moore, in reply to a communication on the subject, says: “The petition calls the attention of the synod to the fact that Dr. Watson has not repudiated ,the public charge that his teaching tends to Unitari- anism. If the business committee of The synod rejects the petition, the promoters intend to raise the matter and force a dis- cussion. ” Dr. Watson in an interview said: “Iain quite prepared to answer any charges. All I can say now is that it is a matter in which I am not gravely concerned. ” ‘ Cleveland‘s Last Payment.
