CHICAGO, March S.h. - The
Journals Washington special says:
1t is apparent that there will be a
tremendous pressure brought to
bear upon the President for the re-
moval of persons now in Office and
the appointment Of new appli.
cants. At one time to-day fully
five hundred office seekers were at
the White House endeavoring to
get an audience with the President
and present their papers. Very
few were admitted and the Presi-
dent said emphatically to a Sena-
tor who had called with an appli.
cant, that he would not make any
removals at present aud intended
to require all papers asking for ap.
pointments to come through the
proper departments. There was
disappointment to-day that the
President did not send to the Sem
ate'soms important nominations,
the ones sent in being for minor
places. 1t is understood, however,
that o few days will elapse before
any important nominations are
made.

snow SsiBi Rampant.
CHICAGO, March S.-Last night
an inch of snow fell in this city,
but 1t quickly melted and the high
banks about the streets are rapidly
diminishing In size. This morn
ing the snow blockade on the rail-
roads is about over, and the regu.
lar time is being made by most of
the trunk lines. The cross roads
still experience great delay, and
the snow storm which covered the
ground from four to six inches
deep in some parts of the north
west, still further retards traffic.
Yesterday dispatch from Pierre,
Dakota, says that the first train
from Chicago for forty days arrived
Saturday, and 1t is calculated that
half the cattle in that section have
perished Of cold and starvation.
Many points received their first
mail yesterday since the storm te.
gan last Wednesday.
