SOME OF THE CALLERS TO-DAY

Secretary Blaine did not reach the State de-
paltment to-day until half past ten O'Clock. He
found lots OF visitors, however, On his arrival.
They swarmed In the corridors, In the elevator,
and most any place where 1t was convenient to
watch and wait. Among the first to be received
was the Indiana delegation, to urge General
Shakelford's appointment as minister to MeXi-
co. The Michigan delegation also called In the
interest of eX-RepresentatiyeB Brown for for
e1sn appointment. Judge Higginbotham, OF
Indiana, also called to say he wanted a call
TO the diplomatic service Prof Monroe OF Ohio,
whom the quid nuncs say wants to be commits

THE SITUATION To-DA'


At the lower departments today there was
but little OF crowd. Secretary kirkwood aud
Postmaster General James remained In their
respective Offices until noon and then went TO
the White House 10 attend the Cabinet meeting.

for New York.
II is expected within a very brief period an
appointment VIII be made as commissioner OF
Indian Affairs. Secretary kfrkwood. having
had experience on the Indian committee OF the
Senate, will be able TO give the benent OF this
valuable knowledge to the department.
Most Of those who called at the Post ONCE
department to-day were congressman after
small pest offices at cross roads. principally.
This class of patronage is cfsp SEQ by the first
assistant postmaster general.
Il is not thought any change Will be made In
the head of the pension bureau. but the Indi-
ana congressional delegation have q feeling OF
copfidt nee that the President win appoint Col.
Dudley commissioner OF pltents and provide
for Mr.. Marble, who Is backed by the Michigan

that in the event OF the refusal OF the request

latton 1t is quite probable that the Secretary of

OF nited States bonds in order to prevent any

m Ion, however Is not entertained by prominent
treasury officials, who In reply to INQUIRIES on
the. subject this afternoon said that while the
Cabinet may determine to pursue that course
the matter has not been considered at the de-
rartment.
