He calls attention to the fact that Chinese immi.
grants continue to be brought to this country,

FUTURE APPOINTMENTS
The President, In iurtter conversation, said he
had three vacant District Judgeships to oil, namely
In Alabama, Arkansas and louisiana 1t was
probable he Nigh. be successful in selecting
suitable appointee for Alabama from that State but
as to the other States there was more diniculty
and he might therefore be forced to appoint per-
sons not now resident in them. As to Arkansas,
those best fitted Tor the place were either in favor
Of tho Garland government or desire Its total
overthrow.

report that the President and Secretary Bris-
tow after consultation had agreed to insert in the
Message and in the Treasury report a strong and
positive recommendation for the repeal OF the
legal tender clause and the fixing OF an early day
tor the resumption OF specie PAYMENTS has aroused
good deal OF feeling. Many Western members,
of both parties, are determined to oppose such
measures. and some Senators as well as Repre-
sentstives, in conversation with Mr. Kelley to-day,
declared themselves ready to support the three
slxty-nve interconvertible bond project OF Mr..
Kelley which was uDfavoraby reported Dy the Com
mlttee OF Ways and Means last session.
There Is no doubt that, even without undue
excitement or q coalition OF Western men OF both
parties, this scheme could pass the House in its
present temper. the innationists claim the elec-
tions as strongly approving them. and they return
to Warrington with decidedly greater aggressive
courage than they had last session. They point to
the fact that OF the members OF the Committee
on Banking and Currency, those who favored in
nation, Hunter OF Indiana, Huobell OF Michigan,
Farwell OF illinois and Randall OF Pennsylvania,
were reelected, while Of those favorng reform OF
the currency. Phelps Of New Jersey and Merriam Of

Hawley, OF Connecticut, and Niles, OF Mississippi,
where The election occurs In the spring, may be
beaten.
Under these circumstances there Ia q disposition
to make vigorous and decided issue with the
President II ne shall recommend measures look
ing to contraction and specie resumption and TO
90 this. even TO the extent Of forming coalition
OF innstiontsts Of both parties acting compactly
together for this single end.
Aow far this determination has gone is shown
in the letter OF Mr.. Kelley, given below. He
writes IN answer to letter from T. B. Buchanan,
Secretary oil the National Executive Committee of
the Indianapolis imitation party, who wrote to Mr..
Keuey:-"Any measure seeking to meet the de-
mands OF the people which does not abolish banks
OF issue, and which does not provide currency,
and that iull legal tender with the interconvert-
ibIe feature, will not be satisfactory"
To this Mr.. Kelley replied:-
