Tho foreign relations of tho United
Stales are matter for almost as much
popular concern as our internal conditions
and domestic policies for our trade and
prosperity may bo seriously affected at
any tlmq by compllcatlona with other peo-
ple It Is particularly Interesting there-
fore to liarn what will bo tnu probable
fordgn policy of tho Incoming administra-
tion
Mr Sherman as eecrctary of stale will
likely have freo rein and absolutely
determine our relations for tho next four
jcirs with other nations It Is understood
to bo Mr JlcKlnlcys purpoio to nlvo tho
departments oer unconditionally to tho
secretaries and Mr Sherman particularly
may bo expected to dominate the stalo de-

Tbo email offices below the cabinet can
rest for the present There Is no hurry
in filling them I vvint first to get that
congress together I shall call an extra
session very toon after my Inauguration
Therefore I want to devote my time to
muchneeded legislation and get It well un-
der way beloro paving attention lo patron-
age Tho relief which will como to this
country with proper legislation is much
inoro Important than filling minor offlcet
That io gentleman to whom tho presi
denttied made thefe observations Is a
distinguished pollution and was presenting
his claims for iccogntllon In the consular
sevlce gives added significance to tho it
ternnces Although various patriots ore
rciortcd by tho highly Imaginative nevs
papcr coirespondents to have accepted
cituln consular posts and although tho
pic3ldentolcct ma have canvnssed thu
claims and qualifications of the aspirants
for the moro important places thoro is

appointments outside of tho cabinet until
