far been victorious.

but Judge Fullerton instructed them
that, as the man, after doing the crime,

FROM WASHINGTON CITY. .
A Number of Vacancies in the Higher j ','
Offices of the Executive Depart-
ments of Government.
The President has appointed Albert
H. Nash postmaster at Salt Lake City,
Utah, vice Irving A. Benton, who re
signed to accept the appointment of
United States Marshal.
Neither General Schofield, who is act
ing as Secretary of War, nor any other
army officer at the department is aware
of any contemplated exchange of com
mands between General Howard and
General Miles, as reported from Chicago.
Little credence is given to the story.
Fifth Auditor Timme in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Treasury
shows the adjustment during the year of
accounts aggregating $627,930,607 and
representing expenses incurred in the
diplomatic and consular service, internal
revenue service, census office, Smithson
ian Institution, etc.
There are a number of vacancies in the
higher offices of the executive depart
ments of the government, and the prob
lem of filling them has been consider
ably complicated by the results of the
recent election. In view of the fact that
a general change will be made by the
new administration in March, the vacan
cies are not altogether desirable prizes.
Among them are the First Assistant
Postmaster-Generalship, Commissioner
of the General Land Office, and a num
ber ot diplomatic places, including the
Russian, Portugese, Italian and Swiss
Missions. The resignation of Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury Nettleton
and Mr. Crounse, who was the Republi
can candidate for Governor of Nebraska,
will take effect next month. The Presi
dent will also have four vacancies on the
bench to fill between now and March 4.
These are life positions and the most al
luring prizes remaining within the gift
of the administration.
The probability of an extra session of
Congress immediately following the in
auguration of the President-elect is a
subject of general conversation in Wash
ington. A special session of the Senate
is always called at the beginning of a
new administration, to confirm mem
bers of the Cabinet rH d piomatic rep
resentatives of the Uuited States abroad.
but the present election, having turned
on questions of a domestic policy, it is
said to be obvious to experienced politi
cal leaders of all parties that an extra
seseion of both Houses of Congress is an
almost inevitable result. Secretary of
the Treasury Foster among others ad
mits this. The country, he eays. chal
lenged the judgment of the Republicans
on the McKinley bill, and the result
must be accepted as the win of the peo
ple that a different policy must be put
into effect. Ex-Secretary Bayard writes
to a friend here in like effect, adding the
people will expect this to be done with-'
out unnecessary delay.
Advices from Samoa are to the effect
that the differences between the factions
on the islands, headed by Mataafa, the
recognized King, and Malietoa, the
claimant io the throne, have reached an t
acute phase. To fully protect the inter- '
eBts of the United States it has been de
cided that a vessel be sent there at the
earliest practicable moment. Besides
this reason, based on expend iency, it
appears that under the terms of the trip
artite treaty the United States is under
obligation to keep a naval vessel at
Samoa, there has been no United
States naval vessel there for many
months, the Iroquois being the last to
call. The Alliance is now at Honolulu,
with the lioston, under orders to bamoa,
but these orders were countermanded,
probably because of a critical turn in
Hawaiian politics. It is the present in
tention to send in her place the Ranger,
recently of the Behnng sea fleet and
now at Mare Island, San Francisco. It
will require about a month's time to pre
pare the vessel for the trip, and another
month or six weeks for the passage, so
she will not be able to reach Samoa be
fore next year.
THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION.
The Board of Directors Decides to Close
the Fair at 7 'O'Chck Each
Evening Insurance.
The Scotch Home Industries Associa
tion proposes to reproduce the cottage of
Robert Burns at the World's Fair.
Emilio Caste! ar. the renowned states
man, orator and author of Spain, is the
choice of the entire World's Fair man
agement for orator on the opening day
of the World's Fair.
The insurance written upon the
World's Fair buildings now aggregates
$4,500,000. When the fair opens next
spring it is thought the contents of the
buildings will reach the value of $100.-
000,000 at least.
The electricians who propose to have
exhibits at the Chicago World's Fair are
indignant because of the decision of the
Board of Directors to close the fair at 7
o'clock each evening, as it will not per
mit of a good display of their products.
Chicago has more than fulfilled the
promise it made to the country with re
gard to the Fair. That city has spent
$10,000,000 in providing a home for it,
and it has Bpent them not only with
characteristic liberality, but with such
good taste, with such respect, reverence,
even, for art, as to command universal
admiration and commendation. The
promise Chicago made was to erect the
buildings by May 1, 1893. They are al
ready erected, and they surpass in their
grandeur and beauty all possible ex
pectation. The city having done so
much, the country should not do less
proportionately. First of all, it should
cordially and gratefully recognize the
magnitude and the value of the great
work Chicago has done, and it should
then resolve, the preparation for the
Fair being so adequate, the completion
of it should be equally so; that it should
be in deed and fact a complete exposi
tion of all the products and productions
of the world's arts and sciences, and es
pecially of those of this hemisphere.
