Sketch of the Former Private Secretary's Rapid Rise—A Remarkable
* Career.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The President today sent the foUowing nomination'to the senate: Oeorge B. Cortelyou of New York, to be secretary of
commerce and labor.
< WASHINGTON, Feb. l«.-»The senate
itoday confirmed the nomination of Hon.
) George B. Cortelyou to be secretary of
commerce and labor under the act cremating the new department. The nomination was referred to tbe committee
after' the senate went into executive
session and the committee was polled
bn the floor. .Senator Depew reported
Ithe nomination with a favorable recommendation. He asked for immediate
fiction and as there was no opposition
Mr. Cortelyou was confirmed.
j Few men in American public life today are more widely or more favorably,
known than Secretary George Bruce
> Cortelyou. For years he has occupied
a prominent place ln the interests of
the people and the exemplary manner
ln wbich he has met every emergency
. that has arisen before him nas won fen
nim the cordial esteem not only ot
{those witb whom he haa been immediately associated, personally and offlcial-
I ly, but also of the body of the Ameri-
i can public, to whom he IS known mere-
I ly by reputation.
X.    Secretary Cortelyou ls a man of attractive personality, a scholar of ability and admirable training and a pub-
pic official of genius.   In politics he is
a staunch Republican, but nis present
position has been achieved rather by
merit than by political favor.   He has
set a high standard as secretary to the
President.-   He is the personification
of courtesy, is   invariably   kind   and
obliging and may be depended on always to say and do the right thing.   He
',' combines rare tact with brilliant er_*4[
f ecutive abiUty and   his   capacity fcr
work amazes all with whom be comes
/in contact.
Mr. C0I>telyou was born in New York
city on July 26, 1862. He is descended
from a distinguished family, his ancestors being among the leaders ln the
"colonial and revolutionary history of
the state of New York. From early
childhood he was an earnest student,
and his home training and associations
Jwere of the best. f
j   His official career in the government
''■may be said to have begun in 1899 when
j he became private secretary to the post-
ptBce. inspector ln charge at New York._
tAfter serving the surveyor ox the port
.of New York as confidential stenographer, he came to Washington In July,
(5.891, as private secretary to the fourth
/assistant postmaster general.   His rec-
(ord in the postoffice department was
'/such that in 1895 President Cleveland
{appointed him his executive clerk and
/confidential stenographer.    He served
[ President McKinley in the same  ca-
I: paclty until 1898, when on acoount of
V the vastly increased amount of work
/at the White House he was appointed
< assistant secretary to the president. On
/ the retirement of Mr. John   Addison
Porter  Mr.  Cortelyou  was ' named  as
secretary to the president.    The wisdom of Mr. McKinley's choice has been
demonstrated thoroughly.   While Mr.
Cortelyou's ability was appreciated before the assassination of President McKinley, the work performed  by  him
during all the anxious days at Buffalo
;• revealed an entirely unexpected phase
, of his character.    His relations with
) President MoKinley were tbose of ten-
'j, der regard and affectionate friendship,
yet notwithstanding his personal suffering, his outward demeanor was unruffled.   He preserved his   composure,
looked after every    detail,    provided
every care for fhe stricken President,
comforted his bereaved wife and kept
the anxious people informed of the condition of the   distinguished    sufferer
from hour to hour, day and night.   In
the presenoe of a-heart-consumlng sor-
jrow he performed this wonderful work,
lonly bis smile was absent.   Otherwise
Xhe was the same courteous, affable Cor-
/ telyou. <
i     It was at the   personal   request of
President Roosevelt that   Mr. Cortel-
/ you continued as secretary to the President, and in naming him as the first
secretary  of the new department  of
' commerce and labor, and elevating him
to a position in his cabinet, the President has done gladly that wheh  Mr
McKinley probably would  have done
bad he been permitted to provide for
the organisation   of that  department.
. Both.the President and Mr. Cortelyou
' bave been inundated witb congratulations from all sections and classes of
the country on tbe appointment and
, the senate stamps the nomination with
Z9_g cordial approval by confirming it
unanimously on the day it received the
nomination.
NO DEBATE ON STATEHOOD.
Senate   Passed  Indian   Appropriation
and Philippine Currency Bills.
WASHINOTON, Feb. 16.—There was
no debate on the statehood bill to the
senate today. The Indian appropriation bill and the Philippine currency
Mil both were passed.
Mr. Vest, while the Indian bill was
up, called attention to a point of order
which had been made against one ot
its provisions on the ground that lt was
new legislation. The senate, be said,
hsd passed the Philippine government
bill aa a rider to the army appropriation biU and yet soled other provisions
but. AU rules, he said, were violated
when a majority was in favor of any
measure.
Mr. Morgan spoke on a question of
privilege regarding the dispatch which
recently appeared In the public prints
purporting to be signed by the Colombian minister to Mexico, Senor
Rafael Reyes, in which Senor Reyes
took exception to an alleged statement
bv Mr. Morgan in the senate that tbe
Colombian president had- sold out and
abdicated for $1,000,000. Mr. Morgan
declared that there was a betrayal of
the senate to the matter of what transpires at executive sessons and that SeP-
nor Reyes had viblated a principal of
diplomacy when he obtained information surreptitiously from persons false
to their trust.
RIVERS   RISING   RAPIDLY.
Flood,
Pittaburg   Threatened   With s
But Not a Serious One.
PITTSBURO, Feb. 16.—The Monongahela and Allegheny rivers are rising
rapidly at the headwaters snd Pittsburg is threatened with another flood
before tomorrow morning, notwithstanding probable zero weather tonight. Warnings have been sent to all
towns in the Monongahela valley and
the firms having plants along tbe river
fronts to prepare for 22 feet, tbe danger Une, and perhaps a higher stage.
The flood threatens to make the river
situation worse than has been experienced here this winter.
At midnight the Ohio river at Davis
Island dam registered 20.5 feet and
rising at the rate of two inches an
hour. ' Oovernment Forecaster Ridgway does not expect more than 22
feet, which stage will cause considerable damage to the lowlying portions of Pittsburg and Allegheny, but
nothing serious ls looked for. In
Pittsburg some of the cellars along
Penn avenue, have water in them and
the Pittsburg and Western railroad
tracks in Allegheny are submerged,
necessitating the bringing of trains to
the Baltimore and Ohio station on this
Bide of the river. ,
THE VENEZUELAN   SETTLEMENT.
The United States Haa Come Out of
the Affair With Heightened
Prestige.
BERLIN. Feb. 16.—The newspapers

-Venezuela, settlement, Thpsg .5?Mch. reflect the government views affirm that
Germany comes out of the affair measurably well, insomuch as sne obtains
at the end of tbe negotiations all she
asked for at the beginning. The papers
which are independent of official influence, notably the Pan-German exponents and certain papers of reactionary tendencies, say that the only power which has come out of the affair
with heightened prestige is the United
States; that none of the European powers has strengthened fts position and
that the two great powess nave heen
standing in the eyes of the world for
two months in a deferential attitude
towards the United States, practically
asking permission to coerce an unimportant state.
Various newspapers allude to. the
Monroe doctrine in careful language,
affirming that Europe can only recognize the doctrine as international law
after a congress of the powers has
been held on the subject. ■

legislative problem to the senate
caused by the statehood bill, and after

steering committee beld a meeting
with the same end to view. No absolute decision was reached, but the favorite plan is to attempt to displace
the statehood bill with some measure
which will catch the vote of many
friends of the statehood Mil, such as
the anti-trust bill to be reported tomorrow from the senate committee on
Judiciary, or the eight-hour bill. It
tbis plan upon later Investigation or
