It has been htnlcd to him that while Mr. Whitney' ntioiH are iiot denied there are doubts whether 'ho would apply him-elf with nny sort of zeal to the unrcliinu duties that will devolve upon a Cabinet officer.

A love of leisure and an ini-iiiation to allow preat latitude to hi subordinate have been urged as reasons why Mr. Whitney would better grace a foreign mission than he would (111 With Jefforsotiinii severity ai( exacting executive office. The political advantages that would accrue to the Democracy of this State from having Messrs.

Mr. and Mr. Weed to admit that they have not considered this sub.iect from every conceivable political point of view. The politicians of the dominant win of the Democracy in this State are ne ther so concerned nor so sensitive as to consider how much dissatisfaction would be 'occasioned by such Jitvish generosity toward a single State, aud that the President-elect's owif State. Thousti the claims of Several Xew-Kn-liland Democrats were under serious consideration by Mr.

Cleveland ns lute as yesterday 'there are excellent if rounds for believing that William C. Fndl-cott. of Massachu-etU, Is the favorite.

This would give tlio old familiar list of selections the foUowing appearance: State TJavurd Treasury Man ning; Attoriiey-UcuernlCiarland; Into-rior I.iimur; Postmaster General Vilas; War lCndicott; Navy with Whitney's backers pusins lilm to a foremost place.

No shifting of these names is looked for, so far as tho-eof lluyard. Garland. Manniiic, nnd Lamar are concerned.

It is the desire of Mr. Cleveland advisers that he shall travfel between Albany and Wiwhington lu ns quick time as possible, and that his journey shall bo unattended by demonstrations of any sort fioin people along the route. For this re.icon they decline to announce before to-morrow afternoon the hour of his intended departure, or even the route which it Is proposed to take.

Many will be met by local organizations, who will escort them to their quarters and all wilt bnd some one on naud to see that they do not get lost in the streets. The I'emisyl-vania militia, who are remembered by all who saw the parade four years ago, are expected early to-morrow evening.

An hour or two later Tammany's LU00 braves are exuected. They will 'find the Jackson Llemocratic Association ready to receive them with artillery salutes and fireworks and to march with them to tbe furniture warehouse iu 'which they are to lodge. The great rush of visiting organizations, however, will be on Tuesday.

LESS DANGER OF AN EXTRA SESSION The scare that wa created yesterday among memlwrs of Congress by Mr. Hale's declaration that the Senate Appropriations Committee could net get through with its work, and that it would probably tie necessary to have an extra session of the House, as well as of the Senate, has abated to-day. To-night the leading men of the House Appropriations Committee are assured that the Senate committee has been so diligent during the hours when most people were at church that to-morrow the Sundry Civil bill will le reDorted.

an agreement between the conferrees of the legislative bill will be announced and the anxious legislators assured that the session will close without leaving necessary work undone.

They could have published Mr.

Cleveland's letter earlier than they did. aud there is reason for believing that tbey know they could have done so.

KEVINS ARRESTED IN NEW-ORLEANS WHILE, UK SAID, ON HIS WAT HO ME. New-Orleans. March Chief of Po lice Uachemlo received a dispatch on Wednes day last from Chief of Police Patrick Crowley, of San Francisco, to tbe effect that Thomas J. Kevins, late Mayor of Adrian. under the name of J.

M. Murphy, had purchased a round trio ticket for New-Orleans and had left San Francisco on Monday, Feb. St. by way of El Paso, where be would either take tbe Texas Pacific or Sunset route and arrive In New-Orleans on the forenoon of Feb. JS.

He had taken a lower berth in section 5 of sleeper No. 8 to lieming. Chief Crowley advised that he be arrested and held, avoiding a hatieas corpus and awaiting a requisition. A photograph and description of Nrvins had decorated the wall of the Chiefs othce tor two or threw years, and the Chief detailed four of tim detect Ives to scrutinize the picture, watch thu trains, and arrest Nevtns if he came In. Notwithstanding this, howover.

Neetns eainn In on the evening train of the Texas and Pacilio Koad unobserved and without hindrance, took a room at a fashionable loardtng bouse at No. llam part-Street, where he passed tbe night. At about o'clock this morning, after break-last, Nevins walked out on tho street, when he was noticed and arrested bv Detectives I'mm and Kerwln. He made no objection to attending the officers to the Chiefs office. He frankly admitted that he was the man wanted in Adrian, Mich.

GRIPSACK. THB BURDEN A NKW-HAVFN EXPRESSMAN WAS GIVEN TO CARRY. New-Haven. March 1. While Thomas Gibbs, a licensed expressman, was standing in line with others of his craft outaide the Union Station in this city about 8:30 last evening, be observed a well-dressed man of medium height approaching the line from the side of the station.

The stranger carried a large valiae. The expressman hailed him and secured the Job of carrying tbe vaflse to No. 613 Elm-street and Informing the icople living there that they might expect tho owner of the valise at 8 JO o'clock. Gibbs was warned to handle the valise with care as It contained glass. Tne expressman took the valise, placed It 1-esiiie bim In tbe wagon, and hurried off to the Indicated part ot Klm-street, nearly two miles lrom the station.

He tailed to Jind any such number as 5li'. There, are no houses between Nos. 5oii and 512. He carted theiallse tiack to the station and left it lu thi baggage room. A bout half an hour later sounds as of a b-iby crying were beard to Issue from the valise.

Policeman Kradley pried the valise open and found that it contained, wiiruily clad and moaning in its sleep, a pretty girt lby about a week old. Heshle the child lay a quantity or clothing and a nursing bottle full of milk. The police wagon was called and tbe waif taken to tho almshouse. No clue as to the identity of the patron of Expressman Gibbs has been obtained. Gibtw says he now reineintiers that the strau per studiously avoided going near enough to the street lamp to allow any one to get a good look at his face.

Just as the train was leaving the station for New-York an unknown man au-sweriug the imperfect description given by tilblis rushed through the station and across tbe Platform to the last car on the train. He succeeded in catchir.g It and swluglng himself aboard. The presumption is that he had noma from New-York on the early evening train, and that he took the first train back. The child had evidently been drugged to prevent its making an outcry on Its trip with Gibbs to-Elm-street. The baby clothes In tbe valise were ot the costliest kind, but not new.

The child. If It lives, will remain at tbe almshouse until It Is years old. when it will be taken to one of tbe orphan asylums or to the Couuty Home. BAPTIZED IX ICY WATER. Philadelphia, March 1.

THE NICARAGUA TREATY SECRETARY FR ELING HUYS PLEA IN ITS FAVOR, THX CLAYTON-RCLWER TREATY MADE VOID ABLE BY ENGLAND'S ACTS AND NEGLECT, AND NOT VIOLATED BY THB CANAL AGREEMENT.

WASHrxGTOw, March 1. A letter written by Secretary Frellnchuysen In explanation and support ot the N'lcaraguan treaty tiia le pub lic to-day. The letter is addrctued to (senator Miller, of California. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relation. After re sponding to some Inquiries cs.noerolnr tbe Cost Rlcan boundary and other matters of minor Importance, the Secretary enters upon tbe subject of the Clayton-llul wer treaty.

says no correspondence la regard tq it other than that already transmitted to OrWresi has taken place. "The last two Botes, hu says. show that the correspondence desed with tbem. and no reason is seen for rei)nlng it. The Ctayton-Bulwer treaty.

Ilka any- similar document, was a contract not obligatory upon one' of tbe parties In ctse.of default or violation of Its provisions by the other." The Secretary then briefly reviews tu circum stances under which tbe Clayton-Bui wer treaty was entered into, and says: "Tiie treaty was signed April 19, IN50, more than 34 yeatH ago. It had no clause limiting its duration, but the fact that one of the contracting powers bu not, dur ing this long period, fulfilled tbe obliitions Im- posed upon it as the consideration forja share la tbe canal grant would alone be sufficient to au thorize the other to terminate the contract. Tbe United States, azreclng aot to oc cupy- or colonize any part of! Central America, have strictly observed tbe abllgntlon they assumed. It cannot be denied Great Britain, on the contrary, hits converted a settlement of licensed woodcutters uif ier Span ish-American jurisdiction Into a poetical ap-Indage of the British Govern met. I ler Majesty 's Gov em men as en i re I ineglec ted to evince uny intention of'fulnlling tbeprovl-Ions ot the treaty of ls5o since tbe correspondence as to which you Inquire was n.

No oiler bas Decu made to aid in the construction of a canal nor has any intention been manifested ot 1 removing nrltlstt political control 'from the Helize or of restoring its territory to tbe Spanish-American Mutes, which, in ti0. ther had political Jurisdiction, it is unnit-essary in this connection to report other considerations already see forth in the showing the right of this Government to con- siuer mu "wiajrvon-isuiwer treaty voiitable at its option. But waiving this question and ffimlng to the treaty with Nicaragua, it is not! apparent wnerein that instrument before tbe Senate conflict with the pro boons of the Claytdn-itulwor treaty. The latter was principally intended to carry out Its object by auaranlceing protection wi me capiuti or private citizens or stibj--cts or the contracting nation. Tbe arrangement with Nicaragua is entirely different, for m-ivata capital is to be invested; the contracting overnmenta alone are interest-, ami Clayton-Uulwer treaty cannot apply lb It unless that treaty should tie so ruoditlc.l by a new and specific mutual agreement aftn admit Great Britain to partnership in the interprie upon a contribution by that Government to the cost or the work.

No such modification lis been proposed, and Great Britain has reinsert already suggested cbangea tn the iim'rutnetit. The first seven articles of the Ciaytoo-ltuiwcr Treaty provide in suttsiunce tor a caunl icrxiM Nicaragua, to be bunt by private capNat, under the J.nt protection of this coionry and Great Britain. Her Majesty's Government hs contended that bv article 8 this -principle is made continuous and ermiinent. If this were admitted, it could not even then be held that, after waiting 34 years, and after full notice, tho lined Mates violate the treaty by. doing alone what that instrument content nla'ted ulionlri done jointly.

It is at least certain that the Mca- raguan treaty or Dec 1. lsl. does not violato the conditions as to canal control lali 'ilown in -the Clayton-llul wer treaty. By the rent of Iec. no exclusive control or thecana) and no lohtkal control over the territory -jit trav erses is obtained by this Governratnt.

We do mot fortify, occupy, or assume to deslra dominion over' nhy part of Central America, nor do we. require any exclusive concession for our citizens, (which alone is prohibited by the treaty of or. primarily, no couoeeion at nil Is tiiji'le, and secondly, whatever rights and capitm may hn interested are purely Governmental. The first seven articles of the treaty of isao. an jiu-tlrn-larly article show that tne rights of fidivfdual grantees were alone had in view by tbe parties to that convention, whereas tbe treaty with Nicaragua is a Govemra utal pnrtrtrbir to build and operate a canal undiT tlte-' political Jur liction of Nicaragua, whlcn stiali- open to all the world on equal terms, sucb a caual in effect as that described In article 1 of the Clayton-Uulwer treaty as one for the benefit of mankind, unon eiual term-to i The rOiitKin to theClaytuu-Riirwi-r treaty may be tuu- summarized Great Britain' rights bay luteed by neglect; no step has t-n takeit to fulfill her obligations under tiie convention, nor has that Government asserted, any to protect tbe Panama Railway now; pns-thl -under Krench control, or the de Lessvus canal project.

Th treaty i voidable by us t.ecauseof its infraction through the-erection of a colony in British. Honduras. Tbe Nlcaravuan treaty now before the Senate Is not a violation the triity wittt Great Britain, for the latter contttnpltss private ownership, while the former Is governmental enterprise without Copt ml. Intended to niien water communlcstKm lietween tbe two oceans without UucriunumtlonUii favoc of any nation. It will tie seen from a perusal of th several" notes' of Lord Granville that Great Brdain has asserted, in support ot the contbiulng-rfect of the Clayton-Bui wer treatv.th.it the tr(ties subsequently concluded by either the Mates or Great Britain wltb the Stat- uf Central America and with Colombia, wbica look to the establishing the common ufe of a anaJ by all the world without are in compliance with the Clayton-Uuiw'-r treaty, if the present treaty with Nicaragua Is In the same direction.

It does not then so far conflict with the Clay treaty. To judge from Lord GranvtUc's argument, the only point In wbleb it might 1st held te conflict therewltn la in tbe al-nce of a provision for admitting other powers to partictpute In an agreement to secure neutrality and pryitcction. But a like omission Is found in the several treaties concluded by the United ftateor Great Britain with the American States inofr'lsVJ, and If the omission lie a contravention of he Clay. ton-Buiwer treaty, both parties are eQunllr at fault, and the right of either t-j take cheltec behind the Inchoate agreement to fcreaftet agree found In article of the Clayfoa-Buiwer treaty, lias lapsoL Lori Graavlbe. In bis last note on the subject.

uy ttnt Great Britain bits large colonial no less thun great Uitcrts, wlilci render any means of unobstructed anJ nu.fcl access from the Atlantic to tbe North und South Pacific Ocean a matter for her alo of ti.v greatest importance. The treaty now before tlte Senate gives this unobstructed and rapid aceji, which cannot fail to tie of great advantage Great, Britain, and which prowled withost c.t to her Majesty' Government and without infringing upon any cf its rights. "The treaty with Nicaragua con temp la tea In effect a part nethip bet ween the States and Nicaragua for the construction of a canal capal le of pawing vessel of the large tiw now commonly used in commerce. This Government, is to build tbe canal through the territory of Nicaragua upon such line and in such rp inner as It may deem adrisable.
