"Wasiiingtox, Aug. 17. Kotwithstand
ing the reitcraiion by sonic ot the officials
ot the administration that there i notlunt;
in the argument that Senator-. Allison and
Jones and Representative McCreary are
lint eligible to hold office cs members of the
Monetary Conference, there is good reason
fur the statement that President Harrison
is not convinced iu his own mind as to the
legality of the appointments, and that the
whole matter may yet be referred to the
Attorney General for an opinion. If it
come to that, it is asserted by some ot those
who ought to be best infonred on the sub
ject that tne Attorney General will be com
pelled to decide in accordance with
plain precede.it, .which will show
that since the erection of the Constitution
no such appointment has been made, or, it
made, it has been withdrawn, as in the laie
ot ex Governor Kirkwood, ot Iowa, who re
signed his seat in the Senate to accept the
position of Secretary of the Interior under
President Garfield, resigned that office upon
tin succession of Arthur, and was pre
vented trom acceptinc a place upon the
Tarui Commission lor the reason that the
act creating the commission became a law
during the term for which lie was elected,
though he was not a member ot the Senate
at the time the law was e uncled.
1 liat he Constitntioi lias to Say.
The Constitution of the United States,ar
ticle 1. section 6, prescribes that "no Sen
ator or Representative shall, during the
time for which he was elected, be appointed
to anv civil office under the authority of
the United States which shall have been
created, or the emoluments thereof increased
during such times; and no person holding
office under the United States shall be a
member of either House duringTiis continu
ance in office."
It would seem that the whole case rests
upon the definition of the meaning of the
term "civil office." It is claimed by per
sons who have some reputation as expound
ers of the meaning and intention of the Con
stitution, that any office created by
act of Congress, and to which the
sanction ot the President is
necessary, is a civil office.
Thus either of the houses of Congress
may provide for committees of investiga
tion to go upon junketing tours at the ex
pense of the" Government during reoess of
Congress, but these are not civil offices, but
merely operations in pursuance of an order
of the body of which they are members. It
is argued that the clear intent of this pro
vision of the Constitution was to prevent
dilution between the Executive and the
legislative arms of the Government to re
ward favorites of the administration, and,
therefore, that a Congressional junketing
tour to Europe or elsewhere, in pursuance
ot a lormal act of Congress, brings the jun
keters under the prohibition of the Consti
tution, which declares that no member of
either House of Congress may hold civil
office created, or whose emoluments were
increased, during the term for which he was
elected.
Klrkwood's Case Ieft No Doubt.
In the case of Kirkwood there could have
been no moral objection, as he was ap
pointed from civil life, but the language of
tne uonstitution was so plain that the ex
Senator accepted, without protest, the opin
ion that he could not accept a civil office
created during the term for which he was
elected, though he had nothing to do with
the enactment of the law creating the
office.
If ever the Constitution conld have been
properly strained it was in connection with
that appointment. In the instance under
discussion two of the Congressmen ap
pointed members of the monetary confer
ence were active leaders in advocacy of the
enactment of the law creating the confer
ence, and of which they are about to be
come beneficiaries. Senator Jones, of Ne
vada, opposed the bill because he
was in favor of free silver,
and if the free coinage bill had
been passed by the House " and signed by
the President no monetary conference
would have been necessary in the opinion
of the silver men. Senator Allison and
Bepreseutative McCreary urged the con
ference as oue of the means of defeating the
tree coinage bill, though for different rea
sons, 'ihey would seem to be peculiarly
aflected, therefore, by the prohibition of
the Constitution. Indeed, Senator Allison
was specially instrumental in having im
portant changes made in the bill as it wan
reported Iroin committee, and his appoint
ment, unuer tne circumstances, makes him
andthe President conspicuously liable to
the charge of collusion.
The Sominoai Entirely Unobjrctlonabln.
Of course, no one objects on personal
grounds to the appointment of any ot the
gentlemen. They are all admitted to be
eminently well fitted for the office ol com
missioner to a great monetary convention
which may have vitally important results.
The discussion on all sides is based purely
on the constitutional basis.
Some one to-day in the public prints
asserts that the cases of Senators Allison
and Jones and Representative McCreary are
identical with those of Justice Harlan and
Senator Morgan, who were appointed mem
bers of the Bering Sea arbitration. Nobody
has ever disputed the eligibility of Justice
Harlan, and as to Senator Morgan, he is ap
pointed under an act of Congress, bnt by
virtue of a treaty with a foreign country,
and with which Congress as a body has
nothing to do. Uo act creating the office
was passed by the two Houses of Congress
and signed by the President The cases are,
therefore, not parallel. Of course the
President may ignore the Constitution, and
the authorities of the States of which Alli
son and Jones and McCreary are citizens
may pass the matter over in silence. In
the case of Senator Allison, however, whose
life is now made pleasant by the thought
that he is governed by ,a Democrat, a
peculiar condition of things might arise.
Allison in a Sort of Box.
The moment the acceptance by Senator
Allison of a position as member of the mon
etary conference . is announced Governor
Boie's might be seized with an uncontroll
able desire to declare his office as Senator
vacant and order a new election. He would
be borne out by precedent (though not in
the case of a Senator) in such a step, and by
the letter of the Constitution as it is inter
preted by some very eminent authorities.
A number of friends of the gentlemen now
so much discussed are looking on with in
terest to see the outcome of this wide dif
ference of opinion.
A story has been in circulation to-day
that reflects severely on Secretary Tracy
and Commodore Folger, Chief of the
Bureau of Ordnance. It is, in
brief, that these officials, without
consultation with a board of officers, as pre
scribed by law, made important changes in
the construction of the turrets of the new
battleships, and that a consequent change
I was necessaryjn the structure of the armor
' plates, rendering them much easier to roll
or Jorge, and that the owners of the Bethle
hem and the Carnegie mills would make
hundreds of thousands of dollars in conse
I quence, as there had been no change in
tlie nrice tiaid lor the plates.
Both Commodore JTolger and Secretary
Tracy are absent from the oitv. and as the
matter was new to Aotiug Secretary Soley,
matter was new to Acting Secretary holey,
that official did not feel lusttfied in making
any statement nntii ne naa morougui; in
vestigated the matter.
.So Chance to Slake Much Outol It,
Another official who is conversaut with
this portion ot the department work told
The Dispatch correspondent that he
could not see how there would be anv great
proht to the firms mentioned, even it the
price ot tlie plates was unchanged, as the
plates of the ton, or revolving part of the
turrets, formed a very insignificant portion
ot the armor of a vessel, or of all of the war
vessels contracted for combined.
A turret is 17f feet in diameter. The
revolving part of the former turrets was
conical, to deflect projectiles. This form
gate the gunners too little space lor their
work, and was therefore changed to
the cylindrical, corresponding to the
other p'ortion of the turret which does not
revolve.
Another reason cited for the change is
that the conical armor plates, involving
both a conical and a cylindrical curve, were
difficult to make and it w as found that to per
sist with them would delay the completion
of vessels in hand. The official referred to
woold not admit this, however. This of
ficial asserts that the bids were tor both the
cylindrical and the conical plates, the price
being clearly stipulated for each, and that
if the form was cnanged and the conical
plates, with their double curve, dispensed
with, the manufacturers would simply re
ceive the price agreed upon for the cylindri
cal plate.
On y H Tr-w Hundreds, at Best.
But even if this were not the fact, the
manufacturers would make very little out
ot the difierence iu price upon a lew tur
rets 1714 feet in diameter, possibly a few
hundred dollars, instead of a few hundred
thousand, as rumor bad it.
Another insinuation is that the truth in
regard to the trial tests of armor plates has
never been told, and that the Secretary and
Ciiiet Ot the Bureau of Ordnance have
lavored the Harvey and nickel process tar
beyond their deserts. This is doubtless un
true. The Dispatch has had an absolutely
trustworthy expert on the ground at all the
tests, and his reports have coincided in
every important particular with those ol the
department.
Looks Like War.
It looks as though there was going to be
hot opp t.ition among tlie bakers in their
efforts to show a progiessive spirit.
A few days ago Marvin announced a new
Grandfather's Hat cuke, and now Mr. Herd,
ot the well-known Keystone bakery, in Al
legheny, is sending out a delicious little
cake that he calls 'iariff Hefoitn.
Mr. Herd never lets the glass glow under
his leel when it comes to pushine his busi
ness, and if Tariff ltelorm doesn't become a
wonderfully popular cake it will not be bis
lault.
Both of these cakes, no donbt, will be for
sale at all the first-class grocery stores in a
few days'.
A NEW MUSICAL INTENTION.

(w aluut, rosew ood or ebony), tlie number of
Us kevs (seven octaves), its light action and

is the only organ made on which piano
music can be satisfactorily performed, while
it costs but one-third the price of a piano.

brought out the following order from the

THEATRICAL H0IE8.

Archie Gobdoit, the well-known manager,
is trotting a preliminary heat in advance of
"The 8trurcle of Life," a fortunate thing
for the play. Later In the season lie will re
sume his position with Fanny Davenport's
com pan-. Mn Gordon is now in the city.
TnE regular season begins at the Grand
Opera Home on Thursday, August 18, with
Primrose & West's Minstrels. It is said that
the sonKi and comedy of this company are
warranted to be new and devoid of funeral
flavor, and the names or tlio leading liphts
warrant the belief that laughter rather tban
tear should result from this dose of min
strelsy. Axosq the melodramas whioh made some
thing ot a mark last season was "The Struggle
ofLife."ltwlll follow "Underground" at the
Bijou Theater next week, and the company
which is to plav it arrived last nizht In or
der to have 'the rehearsals here. The
scenery, whioh last year was a strong feat
ure of the play has been renewed, and is said
to be finer tban it was last year.
In spite of the heat a fairly large audience
attended the per(ortna,nce of "Damon and
Pythias" at the Grand Opera House last
night. Xbo play was well given by Walter
Osmond, E. S. McKim in the title roles and
a fair support. Miss Estelle Purcell was
hlebly satisfactory as Colanlhe and Miss
Mlnnlo Granl made a very pleasing Hrrmxan.
Mr. Osmond's Damon bas been deservedly
praised before, and be has improved his
lormor impersonation. The play will be re
peated to-night. Many Knights of Pythias
were present.
