Authority baa been given by President
Cleveland to Secretary Gresbam to ex
change with Minister Grip certificates
of the ratification of the extradition
treaty between the United States and
Sweden, recently ratified by the Senate.
The results of the rifle, carbine and
revolver firing of the army for the target
year of 1H02 received by the Adjutant
shows that Company G of the Seventh
Infantry, stationed at Pilot Butte. Wyo.,
made the highest general figure of merit.
Active preparations are about to be
begun by Secretary Smith for the open
ing of the Cherokee Btrip under the pro-
, viKion ol the Indian appropriations act
j ratifying the agreement with the Obero
' kees. The preliminaries, however, will
consume considerable time.
I A hint of Cleveland's policy of build
ing up a new party is given. Following
the selection of Judge Urea ham for the
Cabinet, it ia said, he is going to appeal
. to the sentimental Republicans by keep
1 lug Minister Lincoln at London and
Minister Fred Grant at Vienna.
Postmaster-General Biasell states that
whenever there is a contest for any poet
olllce the person who held the office un
der President Cleveland's former admin
istration is not to be considered. He
further states the full power of this rule
will be applied to fourth-class poetotfices,
and that he, and not the President, is
responsible for it.
I Secretary Carlisle haa issued new reg
ulations regarding precautions to be ob
served in admitting immigrants to the
United States. The regulations contain
seventeen articles. The first ten are
substantially the same aa are now in
force. Articles 11 to 16 inclusive are
practically new, and are made to con
form to the new laws effecting immigra
tion passed by the last Congress and ap
proved March 3.
The Treasury Department continues to
receive odors of gold from tue West in
exchange for small notes, for which there
is at present an increasing demand.
Feveral offers had to be temporarily de
clined, as it was found the gold was of
light weight, and until those who offered
It made up the deficiency in weight the
government could n t accept it. In this
connection it is interesting to note that
the government require absolute ac
curacy before it will receipt for light

President Cleveland haa decided upon
a line of policy to be pursued in the ap
pointment of Consuls, which is expected
to materially expand the trade of the
United Hates with foreign countries,
and especially with the South American
and Central American republics. Hia
policy ia to select men for Consuls wbo
have exceptional business qualifications
and possess sufficient trade instinct to
recognise an outlet for American mer
chandise, and ability to aid in working
op a market for the product of American
manufacturers and farms. The Presi
dent said, of course, political reasons
eannot be entirely ignored in the selec
tion of Consuls, but particular stress
will be laid upon the business abilities
of the men whose names are presented
to him.
Several people who have known how
long Cleveland is obliged to stand on
bis feet during the many hours he is re
ceiving people, have wondered how it
was that he was able to keep up. He
comes down into the east room and
shakes bands with thousands of people,
standing on his feet for an hour or half
an hour, as the case may be. In bia
private office he feela the necessity of
arialng to bia feet when he receives visit
ors who are distinguished enough to be
admitted to a private interview. It Is
found, however, that the President has a
great scheme. His desk is low enough
to adroit his sitting upon it in an ap-
f arent attitude of standing, and it is
here he sits, with his feet on the floor
and his weight reeling on the desk, and
hakes hands and chat with the visitors
who are admitted. It haa been re
marked by several persons that be does
not move around very much, but nobody
knows better than Mr. Cleveland him
self why he does not move around. He
ia scheming all the while to save himself,
and thla attitude he finds-very comfort
able. It is probable the clerka and some
other employes in the bureau of engrav
ing and printing not directly employed
in the produotion of greenbacks and
other government obligations will have
to take certificates of indebtedness in
stead of cash for their salaries for the
remainder of the fiscal year. This Is the
result of an error in the enrollment of
the deficiency bill, by which the word
' thousand " was left off after the appro
priation intended to be $37,000 for defi
ciency in. the pay of clerical and other
help at the bureau of engraving and
printing. It is presumed the employes
will not be dropped from the rolls for the
remainder of thia fiscal year, aa they are
neoesaary to the working of the bureau.
It is likely this will be considered a case
wherein the government officers are au
thorized to create an indebtedness under
the statute providing that "no govern
ment officer shall incur indebtedneas for
the government except to save life and
property." It may be held the employ
ment of these clerks is necessary to save
" property." The clerka will then be
given certificates stating tbey have ren
dered service to the value named, and
these they will probably be able to get
discounted tor a consideration by local
money lenders. Several other errors in
enrollment have been discovered. In
the pension appropiation bill an appro
priation of $306,000 was Intended for fees
of examining surgeons. In enrolling
the word " five " was left out, so that
the item reads " three hundred thousand
dollars." A deficiency of $6,000 from
the proper amount will not be serious in
view of the smallness of the amount and
of the fact that it was made on estimates
which in any event may be too large or
too small, and which can be remedied
next sesaion before the moner actually
appropriated ia exhausted. These are
but a few of the errors committed In the
enrollment of appropriation bills, and
others are expected to come to light
very day.
