Special to ihr Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct. 11. II- H. Hanna, ' of Indianapolis, was one of the visitors at the White House to-day. He toM the President that as president of the monetary commission he came to urge him to mention in his menace to Congress the necessity for supplemental financial legislation. II- said the commission favored the passage of the Ove rstrect bill, introduced In the last Congress. It provides for the absolute establishment of a single gold standard. He said this would end the financial discussion for all time. The President said he was greatly interested in the friibject and would give the matter earnest attention. William Dudley Foulke. of Richmond, Ind.. lunched wfth President Roosevelt today. He rame on the invitation of the President to talk over civil-service reform matters. After his visit to the White House, Mr. Foulke met Mr. Froctor, president of the Civil-service Commission, and tho two had a lengthy conference. It is strongly believed that the President has urged Mr. Foulke to accept the first vacancy on the Civll-servico Commission. Color Is added to this report by the fact that Commissioner Rodenberg, who was appointed on the commission after he had tailed to secure a place on the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Commission, Is to retire, and the supposition is that he wants JIr. Foulke to take his place. President Roosevelt has officially anflounced that he will appoint his brother Hcer In the Rough Riders Regiment. Lieutenant Colonel Brodle, to the governorship of Arizona. It is intimated that Governor Murphy, now in that office, will not wait for his time to expire before he resigns. The President also will appoint Julius M. Jamison, federal judge in Arizona, to take the place of Chief Justice Street, who will retire. Mr. Jamison comes here to secure the appointment of another nan. but the President induced him to take the Job himself. President Roo3evelt will appoint Dr. V. I. Clayton, of Columbia, S. C. collector of internal revenue for that State, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of E. A. Webster. The announcement will create surprise, as it was understood pretty generally that Lewis Blalock had been selected for the place. Dr. Clayton formerly was postmaster at Columbia. He is an organization Republican. It is understood the President shortly will appoint R. C. Stewart to be postmaster at Newberry, S. C. Mr. Btewart la said to be distantly related to President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt has directed the appointment of Dr. W. I. Wilson, of the Philadelphia, commercial museum, as commercial attache of the United States to the coming congress of American republics. The President announced to-day the following appointments: Robert L. Howse, major in Porto Rico provisional regiment of infantry;-George R. Laurason, surgeon of volunteers, rank of major; Josiah M. "Ward, assistant surgeon of volunteers, rar.k of captain; Frank L. U. Tetamore, assistant surgeon of volunteers, rank of captain; Harry L. Steele, captain artillery corps; Glen Fay Tenks, second lieutenant artillery corps; Carl Edward Wiggin, second lieutenant artillery corps. Attorney General Knox made a verbal report to the President and Cabinet today regarding the result of his investigation into th Pacific cable luestion. His conclusion was that under the law of l$ft ny domestic company could land any cable en the shores of the United States or of its possession". Tho President and Cabinet were convinced by the verbal report that no executive action is called for at this time. The President will go over the Mibject more in detail with the attorney general to-morrow and will review the whole question in his message to Congress. The law of Isi'A i the same law under which the Postal Teh graph Company claimed it ha 1 the power to land a cable at Havana, but the claim was disregarded at the time by the secretary of war. Five members of the Cabinet Secretary Long. Secretary Hitchcock. Secretary Wilson. Attorney General Knox and Postmaster General Smith were present at today's meeting, which was devoted largely to the consideration of appolntinentunder the various departments. The question of Southern appointments generally again tame up and the Presid.nl auain reiterated Iii policy of appointing Republican if suitable applicants could be found, anil if not of appointing gold Democrats. His jlicv in this respect i:uts the approval of the Cabinet. The appointment of Dr. Clayton to the coileetorship of internal revenue In South Carolina was considered In this connection. There were few c.ii! ;s at the White Hons- this morning before tue Cabinet assembled. Acting Secretary Adee presented the Colombian minister and Gen. Rafael Fyt-.. formerly Colombian minister to France, now Vice President of the republic. Senator Mason, of Illinois, who returns to his home to-day. called to assure the President that the 'report that he intended to right the new eana! treaty was entirely erroneous. To the President Senator Mnsoti exprssed the hope that the new maty would ! entirely satisfactory. Among the other callers were the Peruvian minister, who was received in the blue parlor, and General Dyrenforth. commander-in-chief of the Union Veteran Union, who invited the president to attend the Grand Encampment. eif the organization, whirh will be beld at Chicago ). t. 22 to Z.

In his annual report to the hecretary of the navy. Rear Admiral Crow ninshielo, chief of the navigation bureau, speaks of the. reduction made during the past year in the .strength of the Asiatic Meet, which was drawn on to furnish two vessels to re-establish the Eu ropean station, and will be further dimin- j islied in order to permit of the commissioning of at least two training ships and an increase of the North Atlantic squadron by two gunboats and of the Pacific squadron by possibly one. It Is particularly desirable to have some small ships for gulf service on the Atlantic side. It is said the operations on the Asiatic station were marked by uniform success and that the conduct of our sailors and marines in China in the main was all that could be asked for. The American fleet, in conjunction with the army In the Philippines, it is stated, has hampered materially the inflow of arms and munitions to the islands. A new system of recruiting the navy was adopted, recruiting officers going to different parts of the country instead of waiting until the men presented themselves it recruiting ships. The system is sail to have been an undoubted success. Much attention has-been devoted to gunnery training and the report says that the department is about to undertake a long-cherished project and establish two gunnery training ships on the Asiatic station. The department is about to follow up the precedent established last year in the creation of a torpedo boat reserve station at Norfolk by establishing four other stations nl Port Royal, Charleston, Pensacola and at Norfolk. Admiral Crowninshield declares that the time has come when, in the Interest of health of the sailors, of their correct drilling, of their comfort and of economy, the United States navy should follow the example of every nrst-class navy and provide barracks in place of receiving ships. It Is figured that the government would save annually by this course nearly 1150.000, or the interest on twice the sum required to provide barracks for .000 men. It Is requested that Congress appropriate for such barracks at New York jSoO.Ou) and for League island and Mare island JWO.Ouu each. Sailors were enlisted during the year to the number of 9,9. making the total men in service 1S.S23. From this number there were Z.ISi desertions. The beginning of a general staff of the navy is foreshadowed in a transmitted recommendation of Captain Sigsbee, the chief Intelligence officer, looking to a combination in the department of the work of the general board, the War College and the office of naval intelligence to begin systematically general staff work. Touching the Naval Academy, the report indorses the superintendent's recommendation that no cadet under fifteen or over eighteen years of age be received; that the course shall be four years, and that a 3.000ton practice ship be provided. Six civilian instructors to take the place of line officers are recommended. In connection with the naval training stations it Is recommended (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4, COL. 5.) HEALTH OF THE ARMY FIGIHES FROM THE REPORT OF Sl'RGEOX GENERAL STERNBERG. Inceptions Taken Iy Temperniice People to III Remark on the Canteen Question. WASHINGTON, Oct. 11. Surgeon General Sternberg has made his annual report to the secretary of war. He says the health of the army has been unusually good during the calendar year 1900. The admission rate to hospitals for all causes in the army, volunteers and regulars, with a mean strength of 100,389, in 1900 was 23U.S1 per thousand of strength, as compared with 2175.06 in the previous year; but during the year 1S90 only 3D.2S0 men out of a total of 105,546 were serving in the Philippines, while during the past year 66.SS2 of a total of lOO.SS-J were thus serving. In the Philippine islands, with a mean strength of the admission rate was 2G21.93, as compared with 2395.52 in the previous year, this increase being mainly due to disease among the volunteers, the ratio for which rose from 1S59.21 to 2761.79. The regulars, on the other hand, showed a marked decrease in the ratio of admission for disease, which fell from 2454.10 to 2197.73. Two-thirds of the admissions for disease were caused by malarial fevers and dlarrhoeal diseases. The deaths from all causes amounted to 2S.75 per thousand of strength, as compared with in the previous year. Dlseas- oc casioned 20.28 deaths, the principal cause of the fatalities being dysentery, which, with other Intestinal diseases, gave a rate of 9.0S. The rate from injury amounted to 8.49. The death rate in China was large 47.7G per thousand of strength, 23.62 from disease and 21.14 from injury. One of the most interesting points In the repoTt of Major General Otis from the Department of Dakota is a suggestion made by Major Philip Reade, Fourth Infantry, the inspector general of the department, to the effect that chaplains be placed in charge of the post exchanges and that the canteen be re-estnblished In the interests of morals. temperance, discipline and health. General Otis this year has divided his time between the Department of Dakota and the Department of the Lakes. STKRMinRfS INDER FI HR. Temperance People Resent Statements In His Report. PITTSBURG. Oct. ll.-The members of the permanent committee on temperance of the Presbyterian General Assembly do not take kindly to the annual report of Surgeon General Sternberg. In it he declares: "Military officers may be said to be unanimous in their opinion that the steady decrease of late years of alcoholism In the regular army is mainly the result of the establishment of the post exchange or canteen at military posts." "1 do not believe it." said William C. Lilley, treasurer of the committee. "The facts and figures and testimony in our possession as a committee refute the statement. One year ago the committee was very active in presenting ietitions to Congress egainst the canteen. Now it is preparing to wage a still more effective warfare against the repeal of the present canteen law. A large amount of anti-canteen literature is being prepared in Pittsburg for dbtributlon among the thirty-two synods at their annual meetings. The permanent committee will address each synod, and through the stale committees and presbyteries will reach the ü.ono churches of the i denomination. Frc-m each a petition will be .sent through the communities and returned finally to the permanent committee to be presented to Congress. BANK ROBBED OF $15,000.

MISSION BOARD MEETINGS REPORTS PRESENTED BY YVOME.V OF THE CHRISTIAN CI1LKCH. Dcht of the Ainerienn Itonrd YYiped Out Action of the Consregationnl Home Society. SAX FRANCISCO. Oct. ll.-The question of marriage and divorce was before both houses of the triennial convention of the KpiscopaJ Church of America to-day. The bishops adopted a substitute for the proposed Canon 37, providing for the discipline of persons marrying: again after being divorced. The principal change made by the substitute is the provision that such person may receive the sacrament on the written consent o a bishop. The House of Deputies bejran the eagerly awaited debate on Section 4 of the proposed Canon 36, which virtually prohibits the remarriage in the church of divorced persons. The discussion will be continued on Monday. The only vote reached during the day was on a proposed modification of Dr. Huntington's amendment providing for determining the cause of divorce in the case of a divorced person applying to be married. This was defeated. Five missionary bishops were voted for and named to-day by the House of Bishops to the House of Deputies, where the final election must take place. The nominations follow: District of Hankow, the Rev. James Addison Ingle, D. D.; district of the Philippines, the Rev. Charles H. Brennt, D. D. ; district of Olympia, the Rev. Dr. Frederick Keator, D. I).; district of Torto Rico, the Rev. William Cabel Brown, D. D.; district of North Dakota, the Rev. Charles Campbell Pierce, D. D. The Rev. Jamea Addison Ingle, chosen to be bishop of the newly created district of Hankow, was graduated from the University of Virginia in 18S and soon afterward went to China as a missionary. For some years he has been in charge of the. church at Hankow. Charles H. Brennt, first missionary bishop of tho Philippines, is a native of Ontario and a graduate of the Toronto Theological School. Since 192 he has been assistant minister of St. Stephen's Church, Boston, and St. Paul's Church, Buffalo, and has also served in West Boston. He is a High Churchman. Frederick Keator, who will go to the Olympia district, is at present pastor of St. John Julius Church, in Dubuque, la. He is a member of the present House of Deputies and is about forty years of age. Rev. W. Cabel Brown, chosen for the new district of Porto Rico and adjacent islands, is a native of Lynchburg, Va. For some time he has been in charge of a mission in Brazil. Rev. Charles Campbell Pierce, chosen for missionary bishop of North Dakota, is at present chaplain of the Twenty-Second Intantry, U. S. A. He went to the Philippines soon after the commencement of hostilities there, and for a time was post chaplain at Manila. He was active la the promotion of educational work in the island, until ill health compelled his return to this country about a year ago. DEBATE IN THE DEPUTIES. The debate in the House of Deputies on Article. 4 of the common matrimony was spirited at times. Article 4 forbids the marriage of persons divorced for cause not existing before their former marriage a practical bar to the remarriage of divorced persons by the Episcopal Church. Mr. Lewis, of Pennsylvania, rose to correct a misapprehension of the purpose of his canon. He explained that it does not propose to prevent any one at all from being married. It only proposes to forbid ministers of the Episcopal Church to marry any divorced person whatever whose former husband or wife is still living. Rev. Dr. Huntington offered an amendment intended to except tho Innocent party to a divorce oltilned for the cause of adultery when the fact is made to appear by a certified record from the court granting the divorce. He supported his proposal by an appeal to the authority of Jesus Christ, which, lie said, cannot be attacked except by the assistance of what is known as the "higher, criticism," and this could be fully answered if the need arose. Thomas C. Elder, of Virginte, urged that evidence regarding divorce should be sought for in the whole record rather than in the decree of the court alone, which would not in every case recite the ground of the divorce, and moved an amendment to that effect. Dr. Huntington said he saw the point referred to by Mr. Elder and approved the amendment. Rev. Dr. Greer, of New York, cited the fact that more divorces were granted in this country than in all the countries of Europe together. livery consideration of social purity of our country, of the sacrcdness of the home, and of the teaching of Christ, as he understood it. led him to oppose Dr. Huntington's amendment and to favor the measure just as it came from the bishops. Rev. Dr. McKim, of Washington, spoke with a very solemn sense of the responsibility. He had deep sympathy with the motive of tho cancn as it came from the bishops. but he did not believe it would accomplish the end intended. It was revolution ry legislation in the church. He differed from those who, with the Church of Rome, held marriage to be indissoluble. The claim was unscriptural. he said. He cited Bishop King, of Litchfield. Eng.. as unab'e to regard marriage: as indissoluble. This view was supported by Bishop Lightfoot, Wordsworth and Trench. YY. D. Adams, of Western New York, denounced the laxity of the laws of divorce in most of the States. The church certainly had the right to legislate on stricter lines than those of the civil law. but he regarded the proposed restrictions as an unwarranted interference with tho rights of the people. John P. Thomas, jr.. of South Carolina, where no divorces are allowed by the state law. said the law of the church should correspond with the high standard adopted by his State and always recognized there except during a few years of the reconstruction period. Rev. Dr. Huntington, of New York, asked have to withdraw his acceptance of certain additions to his amendment and to speak upon that amendment as originally propose1 by him. He added: "In our zeal tor sanctity let us not forget justice. There are innocent parties in some of these cases under discussion, to whom consideration muht o be shown.'' Mr. Elder's amendment to Mr. Huntington's amendment was put to a vote and lost. The committee then rose and reported progress to the house. It was decided that

the house should next go into committee of the whole on this subject Mondav at l'C.C') o'clock. Adjourned.

Oct. ll.-The ninetysecond annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions has ended brilliantly from a tinanclal standpoint. Over fK) members of the board and pastors and laymen have pledged not only the full amount to pay the debt of S102.000, but 53.110 in esces of the debt. Judge Orin II. Ingram, of Eau Claire.

I'p to the time of adjournment contributions, large and small, were constantly received. There were special contributions for the new work which is to be initiated in the Philippine islands.

Habib Oullah Khan, the new Ameer of Afghanistan, has officially informed Lord Curzon the viceroy of India, that he will follow in hi3 father's footsteps, hoping that the friendship existing between the Afghan and British governments will continue toMncrease. LONDON, Oct. 12. "According to official intelligence from the Ameer of Bokhara," says a dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Daily Telegraph, "the brothers of Hablb Oullah Kahn left Cabul secretly with their partisans the moment their father died and therefore cannot be said to have acquiesced in the accession if their brother. Hablb Oullah Kahn, indignant at their flight, has taken measures to defend the capital and sent a strong detachment to prevent their return or to endeavor to capture them as rebels. He has further resolved to ask assistance of Emperor Nicholas and the Ameer of Bokhara." As bearing upon the advices to the Daily Telegraph from St. Petersburg, it is pointed out that Habib Oullah, in his letter to Lord Curzon announcing his accession, asserted that his younger brother had sworn allegiance to him in a public durbar on the day the old Ameer died. VENEZUELA MAY SUFFER GERMANY MAY' DEMAND SATISFACTION FOR ATTACK ON SAILORS. Crniser Fnlke to Be Sent to South Ameriean Waters nt Once Defeat of Venezuelan Troops. BERLIN, Oct. 1L Germany has repudiated the contention of Venezuela that the territory of that republic was violated during the affray of Oct. 6 at Porto Cabello between sailors from the German cruiser Y'ineta and the popdice of Porto Cabello. In communicating this decision to Caracas, Germany has reserved the right of presenting demands for the punishment of the guilty parties and lor satisfaction. According to a special dispatch from Kiel to the Lokal Anzeiger, preparations on the German cruiser Falke are being hurried so that she may leave for South American waters next Tuesday. The Kiel correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt says: "The gunboat Panther, which is nearing completion in the imperial yards at Dantzlc, is destined for use on the Amazon, the Orinoco and the Platte for the protection of German interests. She is of the improved litis tyre, with stronger artillery, and is capable of thirteen knots." Y'cneznelan Troops Defeated. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Advices from Ciudad, Bolivar, announce that the Venezuelan revolutionists, commanded by Gen. Geronimo Rivas, have attacked and defeated the Venezuelan government troops, under General Arostegui, near Barrancas, in the State of Bermudez, and that General Arostegui has been taken prisoner. It is further announced that the Venezuelan troops have joined arms with the revolutionists. Government troops from San Felix, commanded by General Africano. sustained a defeat near that town at the hands of the revolutionists, under General Vldal. General Africano escaped to San Felix. Gnns Shipped as Fireworks. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. The Tribune says: "The Colombian government has been buying several rapid-fire guns here and shipping them south. Within the last week upwards of two hundred cases labeled 'fireworks.' besides fire arms, cartridges, 'dynamite and tust-s have been shipped to Argentina. Brazil. Chile, Central America. Cuba.

LEADER OF BANDITS SHOT OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HAND SAID TO HE REVENGEFUL. Advices Received at Washington Not of n Reassuring; Tenor Another Appeal for Funds. CONSTANTINOPLE. Oct. ll.-In compliance with a request from Washington the search by Ottoman troops for the abductors of Miss Stone, the American missionary, has been abandoned, it being feared the brigands would kill her should they be closely pursued. Arrangements are now being made to nay the ransom demanded. LONDON. Oct. 12. "The United States legation here," says a dispatch from Constantinople to the Daily Telegraph, "has received information, which it withholds, of some expected developments in the Stone affair. On Tuesday it was supposed an attempt would be made to capture the band, but nothing has been heard since Monday, when Mr. Haskell reached Samakoff. He is not provided with funds, but has been empowered to arrange the lowest terms. Th attempts to capture the band have made the brigands shy of future traps, thus rendering negotiations difficult. Such tactions are severely criticised here. The brigands may in revenge kill their captive. Moreover, the fact that no money was produced on the first demand may cause the brigands to mutilate Miss Stone as a warning." WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.-The State Department has heard again by cable from United States Consul General Dickinson and Secretary of Legation Spencer Eddy touching the progress of the negotiations looking to the release of Miss Stone. None of the details was made public, however, and all that can be gathered as to the Flatus of the case is that conditions are by no means as reassuring a was expected yesterday. The Porte Responsible. LONDON, Oct. 11. After detailing the history of the abduction of Miss Stone, the Spectator remarks: "President Roosevelt and the Washington Cabinet maintain Justly that the Sultan is responsible, as It is his misgovernment which provokes and protects brigandage, and they intend to demand reparation from the Porte. It will not be limited, we imagine, to 25,000. The Porte will be required to punish the authors of the outrage; and as Turkey is sure to shutfie and America is tired of being played with, a naval demonstration is quite on the cards. The Sultan will, of course, yield to the first show of force." APPEAL FOR FUNDS. People of All the Conntry l"rj?ed to Assist In liaising Ransom. BOSTON. Oct. ll.-The misunderstanding existing in various parts of the country, Indicated especially in private advices received here, as to the progress of the fund to ransom Miss Stone, the missionary, is considered to be sufficient reason for the issuance of another appeal for funds by the clergymen who signed the first one. The idea is to Impress upon the people of America the danger which still threatens Miss Stone. The second appeal follows: "The promptings of our hearts compel us to issue a second urgent appeal to the people of America, to come to the rescue of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary now held captive by brigands in the Balkan mountains for a ransom of $110,000. Nearly one-half that sum is yet to be raised. Private advices received yesterday were to the effect that it was absolutely neoeesary to raise the full amount at once. The story of a thirty days' respite is absolutely discredited In the best Informed circies. "To-day's information from Washington is that the outlook is far from being so reassuring as was hoped yesterday. The public should not be deceived by th idea that the American board as such will pay any of the ransom. It has officially declared that it could not, although its members have unanimously expressed sympathy with the movement. Will not pastors, tender-hearted women, patriotic men and representatives of commercial and financial activity everywhere will not every one aid by giving and soliciting until the entire fund is in hand? A life is at stake, the life of a Christian, a missionary, a patriot and a noble American. "All contributions should be sent direct to Kidder. Peabody Co., 115 Devonshire street. Boston, or Rärins. Magoun & Co., 15 Wall street. New York. All money contributed will be returned to the donors in case its use is not necessary or in the event of its being hereafter returned by or through the United States government." This is signed by John L. Withrow. Parkstreet Congregational Church; George C. Lorlmer. Tremont Temple Baptist Church, and John Galbraith, Bromileld-street M. E. Church. LEADER OF nRIGANDS SHOT. Four Other Bandits Reported to Have Been Captured. NEW YORK, Oct. 11. Three battalions of the Sixth Bulgarian Infantry Regiment marched through the country between Dubnitza and Samakov and searched the villages of the Riloklosters district, in one of which it was reported the brigands had concealed Miss Stone, says the Sofia correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser. Colonel Geschof, at the head of a searchirg party composed of y0 Bulgarian infantry and 500 dragoon?, is scouring the ranges of Do? pat and the Rhodopegbirgen. The American consul Reneral :.l Constat. -tir.opie has arrived at Sofia with an Evangelical pastor from Philippopolls as dragoman and both are taking energetic steps with the Bulgarian government to effect Ml-s Stone's release.

MacLeod, former paying teller of the old National Bank and manager of the local clearing house. MacLeod was indicted on several counts charg- j log violation of the United States banking law in connection with the issuing of a worthless certificate of deposit, and Salsbury is charged with being an acctunplii c. These eases are an echo of the Kent county grant jury investigations into the Grand Rapids water supply scandal. Salsbury has now been indicted in three courts, the District Court at Chicago, the Circuit Court in Grand Rapids and in the Federal Court here. The charges are all different, but two of them have to do with the water scandal. An indictment was also returned against C. Alfred Seharch. former assistant cashier of the Fourth National Bank, for alleged misappropriation of funds. FUSION IN PENNSYLVANIA. Democrats nnd Independent Itepullicnns lulled. HARRISBUIU;. Oct. ll.-The Democratic State committee met In this city this afternoon and by an almost unanimous vote substituted the name of Elisha A. Coray, jr. (Independent Republican), the Uni m party candidate for state treasurer, for that of Andrew J. Palm, the regular Democratic nominee for the same ejffice.

Private Secretary to the Mayer II. Brunaugh. P. Mr. Rreunig's appointment was announceel several days ago and a brief sketch of his life was given at that time. Capt. William H. English, chairman of the Board of Safety, is the son of the late William H. English, who was the Democratic candidate for Vice President in lsO. He Is one of the wealthiest and most prominent men in the city. He was a Democrat until the last presidential election, but could not indorse the party's attitude on the money question and entered the Republican party at that time He has been a member of the State Legislature, a member of Congress and has been honored in many ways by his city and State.

He is the proprietor of a drug store at 1144 South Meridian street. He was elected councilman at large two years ago and made an excellent record In the Council during Mayor Tuggart'a lat term. OTHER APPOINTEES. William Schoppenhorst, the Democratic member of the Board of Safety, has always been a straightforward, consistent member of the Democratic party. His appointment meets with the hearty approval of Democratic leaders. The story to the effect that Mr. Schoppenhorst is a Bookwalter Democrat is indignantly denied by his friends and those who know him. He Is a wellknown business man and is the proprietor of a merchant tailoring establishment oa North Pennsylvania street. Frederick A. Jes?, who ha? been appointed city attorney, is one of the most energetic and capable young attorneys Li the city, ami is a member .u the wellknown law firm of Jameson & Joss. H has served two terms ah a member of the State Senate, and during the last session was the recognized Republican leader ef the upper house.

Bogardus, who was yesterday appoint'd deputy controller by City Controller Breunig. is well known as an activ young business man and an ardent Republican. He is the vice president of the Marion Club. During the last two years he lias been the receiver of the- Party Broom Company, and has handled Its affairs in a manner n;t only satisfactory .to the company, but to the creditors eif th company as well. He has never held a political office before, and his appointment is commended by all who know him Mr. H. I. Brunaugh, .elected by Mayor Bookwalter to be his secretary, has b-cri for the past two years a reporter on the Journal, and during the campaign jUit ended was the local political writer. HIS MIND MADE UP. While no either appointments have been officially announced, it Is known that Mayor Bookwalter ha practically determined not only the personnel of Ids loards, but has decided upon the greater number of the minor appointments as well. There has been much speculation as to the reorganization ef the police d partrn nt. especially in regard to the appointment of a chief of police. There have ie.n rumots to the effet that Sergeant Martin II. viand vould pet thi,s place, but it is almost absolutely certain that the appointment will not go to any man that Is now connected with the police department. There Is a feeling that such an appointment would rnj impolitic, for the reason that all of the present police officials, without reference ttj their popularity, are- more or less identified, with a certain coterie or clique of patrolmen, arvd f one ef!ic r was e levated aboxe his fellows it might en ate a feeling among other cli'pit s or coteries whit li would not be for the best interests of tlo department. The general Impression among tin" on the inside se-ems to be that the- appointment of chief of police will go to Edwin I). Logsdon. cbiilrnian of the Republican city committee. The only drawback to this ap pointrr.ent. it is said, is Mr. lygtiotr disinclination to accept it. The friends of Mr. Ixtgsdon say that he can hae a plate n the Board of Works if be wants it. but they insist that he Is a good man for chief of police, and with ids well-known ability could btil.g the police department up to a standard where it would be the nnl of any itv in the United State. It l prol.il ie that Mr. Logsdon will accept the appointment. BOARD OF WORKS. The personnel of the Board of Works la still undecided, it is s.tld. but it Is rumored that the two Republican members of tie board will be Julius A. Lcnuke ;,n I HaioM C. Megrew. Jut whih of the two l tr chairman i not known, but it is probable that It will go to Mr. I. nu ke. Several names have been mentioned In count ttion with the appointment of market inspector, the ht including Daniel Linus, lsa.tc L.
