pointed to a Consulate in Japan. This
1 excited surprise, since his reputation here
was none of the best. But the young man
who claimed that it was the result ot
„ unanimous recommendation by
I the Georgia Congressional delegation,
really seems to have believed that what
be said was true. To-day he called upon
tlic Secretary of (State to ask when his
appointment would be made out. He
galil to Secretary Bayard that he under
wood that he was about to be appointed
to a consulate in Japan, and would like
tc know which one and when. He men
| tioned his name.
| “is that vuur name?” asked the Secre-
I tarv.
I “Vos,'’ he replied.
I ' said the Secretary, “i am very
■ glad to have seen you before your case
Bmos loosed upon. 1 have long known you
■by sight as one of the loungers about
■ town" I would not think of sending you
■to represent this country anywhere.’’
■ With t cat the young nun departed quite
■crestfallen.

■foreign appointment.
Ia LULL IN THK APPOINTMENTS.

■to-day that no foreign appointments of
liinv importance would be made for two
■weeks to come.
I Me found on his return that a good deal
■ill work had accumulated during his ab-
Hwe in the West. He proposes
Ho dispose of the more important
■turn- of this business before taking
Hp anything else. He said to

RICE’S DUTY.
Planters and Their Opponents Argue
Their Case at the Treasury.
Washington, June 15.—Assistant
Secretary Fairchild to-day gave hearing
to persons interested in the duty on broken
rice. Under the new tariff, under the
present rule of the Treasury Department,
the class of rice in dispute is dutiable at
20 per cent, ad valorem as an utienume
rated article, and large quantities oi it are
imported for the use of brewers and
others. Rice growers assert that this
ruling is unfair to borne industries,
and argue that the imported article
should he assessed at the rate ot 2i 4 cents
per pound as an article of food. They ask
that the present ruling of the department
he altered to accord with their views.
Both interests were represented by coun
sel at the hearing to-day*, and the question
vvae discussed in all its hearings. A de
cision will he rendered in a few days.

CONSTITUTION FRAMERB.
Submission of the New lUiVi to the
People for Ratification Proposed.
Tallahassee, Fla., June' 15.—Among
the Chairmen of the standing committees
announced to-day aro: Messrs. Maxwell
of the Executive, Sanchez el the Judi
ciary, and Bethel of the Legislative. This
arrangement gives entire satisfaction.
Numerous memorials and resolutions
were introduced and refer! ed to the
proper committees. Among them was
one abolishing tho office of Adjutant Gen
eral, and another changing the dsto of
State elections. Judge Randd.’s resolu
tion requiring the submission * r the con
stitution to the people ior rativ iliou was
referred to a committee with i, dniotions
to report to-morrow. Messrs. Yonge and
Lesley were unanimously elect First and
Second Vico Presidents of the conven
tion. The committees organized and
commenced work this evening.
MAKING OFFICES ELECTIVE.
There seems to lie a prevailing disposi
tion to make all officers elective, hut the
proposition to elect the Judges will be
stoutly opposed. There is a great diver
sity of opinion a* to the tenure of office
for the Judges, The number cf Cabinet
officers will probably lip reduced, and the
jurisdiction of Justices of the l’eaco re
stricted.
Judge A. E. Maxwell, of Pensacola,
probably wields more influence than any
other one man in the convention. For
many years he has been prominent in this
State, and represented Florida in Con
gress before the war, and was a member
of the Confederate Senate. Since the war
he has been Judge of the First
Judicial Circuit, which embraces
nearly all ot West Florida.
He is a cultivated and an intelligent gen
tleman, and his superior qualifications
are recognized by all. He *s chairman ol
the most important committee, and a
prominent and an influential member of
several others.
MR. MARSHALL, OP LEVY.
Hon. John F. Marshall, delegate from
Levy county, is one of the most exper
ienced and level-headed men In the con
vention. He was a Judge in lamisiana
forraany years and was a member of the
convention which framed the present con
stitution of Louisiaua. Hi • experience
has already made him an invalmihla mem
ber of this convention. He was the first
to devise a plan by whioh ff
permanent organization of stand
ing committees is secured, and
his well balanced mind often assists in
disposing of an abstruse question. His
learning and commanding influence make
him the peer of the leaders. His knowl
edge of constitutional law and the rules of
equity and justice make hint an eminent
ly suitable person to perform the im
portant task here presented.
TWENTY YEARS LATER.
Referring to tho journal ot the conven
tion of JMS it appef re t’ ng the
delegates to tills constitutional conven
tion are four gentlemen who were mem
bers of “the convention of the people”
that assembled in Tallahassee on Oct. 25
in that year, to frame “a constitution or
form of government for the people of Flori
da.” These members, who twenty years
later are returned by the people for the
'discharge of like responsible duty, are
Hon. J. M. Landrum, of Santa Rosa
county, who in |sfls represented Walton
county in the convention; Hon. H. E.
Hope, now of Hillsborough, then of Her
nando: Hon. Alexander Bell, now of
Dade, then of Hamilton; Hon. J.C.Rich
ard, then, as now. ot Bradford. The
years have touched lightly the worthy
sixty-flvors who are now eighty-fivers.
Dr. S. B. Conover, delegate from Leon
county, is the only member of the con
stitutional convention of 180 M in the pres
ent convention. In 18*8 ho was a dele
gate from Columbia and Baker counties.
Dr. John Westcott.of St. John’s county,
is the oldest delegate in the convention,
being 78 years of age. Judge Landrum,
of Santa Rosa, is the next oldest, being 2
years his junior. Hon. C. C. Wilson,
representing the Twenty-seventh Senate
rial district, composed of the counties of
Folk and Manatee, is the youngest mem
ber of the Constitutional Convention.

Philadelphia, June 15.—Joseph F.
Cottringer, former secretary and treasur
er of the Central Transportation Com
pany, who is charged with illegally issu

tion and who was arrested at Mushkill,

THE PENN BANK'S WRECK.
Hl,ldle and Keitter Put on Trial at Fitts
burg for Conspiracy.
Pittsburg, June 16.—The trial of Wil
liam K. Kiddle and G. L. Kelber, late
President and Cashier of the Penn Hank,
was begun in the Criminal Court to-day.
They are being tried for conspiracy, the
charge of embezzlement on which they
were arraigned some weeks ago having
apparently been atiandoni-l at presept
owing to tlie faulty way in which the In
dictment was drawn. The trial prom
ises to lie very sensational owing
to the number of wealthy
men directly and indirectly implicated.
The defendant* are represented by eight
eminent lawyers, among them Con
gressman Boyle, of Pennsylvania,
and Judge Curtis, of New York.
Tim general impression seeiis to he
that the prosecution will either
break down or that there will i> no coo.
vicUon. The morning seision was occu
pied in liupaneling a Jury.

mishap if it causes the Conservative
leaders to adopt a tighter hold on the
