Cleveland's experience with ofliceseek- ere has convinced him that the present method of appointment to offices through political influence has become a scandul, and he is revolving in his mind a scheme to do away with it entirely by a complete reorganization of the system, and that ne will probably recommend to congress the framing qf a law for a commission on appointments as far removed from political influence as the Supreme Court, lnoy are to make all tne ap pointments, except Foreign Ministers and certain hiirh officials nearest the executive, qualification for the place to be the only question in maKing tne ap pointments. Representative Caminctti of Califor nia had a long conference with the Pres ident recently, and left the White House feeling assured it was the intention of the President to see the Chinese restric tion act enforced. Caminetti denied it would take anything like the sum of money which nas been mentioned to en force the act, for the reason that those Chinesowho are entitled to remain would secure certificates at their own expense, and those against whom the law is really aimed will be frightened out of the coun try the moment an honest attempt is mode to enforce it.

Theodore Thomas has been asked by Director-General Davis to .turn over the keys, documonts and everything else pertaining to the musical bureau to the chief of the department of liberal arts and to tender his resignation to the same official.

Mrs. Gougar started on a slill hunt, and President C. C. Bonney hod to step in as peacemaker. The upshot of the whole affair is that Mrs, Bewail, while declin ing to talk to reporters on the subject, intimated that she had issued no such order. Mrs. Henrotin, the Vice-President, wrote a letter to Mrs. Gougar, say ing she knew nothing of such order, and President Bonney poured oil on the troubled waters to that all wai Nrn gain.
