Mr.. Tfevelyan said that although the Government

Many nominations were acted upon and the Mexican
treaty was taken up Without division ITS con-
s;deration WAS postponed until December. These
circumstances seem to b. nearly conclusive evidence
that there will be no called session of the Senate.
Tboneb il cannot be learned that any one has been
d,recJv autb ,rized to make this announcement for
the President it can be said that Cabinet officers
and Senators concur in the opinion that none viii

tendered nothing will remain for 1t to do unless an

WASHINGTON, Feb 81. - The President VIII
send i'll before the end of the week noiii-
nations for Naval Officer and Surveyor IN
New-York, and probably also for Dlstrict-
Attorney The law makes nominations for the
first two offices almost necessary, unless the pres
ent ucumbents are to continue through the recess
and it is understood that the President proposes
by making nomination in place of Mr. Wood1oru,
to show his disapprobation of that officers conducV
toward Attorney General Brewster. 1t is sald
that the nominations for the two custom
House offices are likely 10 be made IN accoroahce
with the policy of promotion which the President
indicated in his appointment Of General Appraiser
Ketchum to be Appraiser IN place of Howard. MT
Benedict, the auditor in the Surveyors
Office, who has been many years
IN that Office aud whose appointment
was desired by Dorman B. Eaton and Others oil MS
class at the time General Graham received the place
is mentioned as likely to be made Surveyor For
Naval officer the names of General Graham now sur
veyor and of John J. Couch, the Special deputy
Naval Officer, are mentioned.
There seems to be no doubt that the place
of Chief Examiner under the CIVIL service
Commission will be at Mr. Burts disposal. Ibe
salary will be just 37l9 per cent OF that which he
now receives, and 1T is possible that Mr. Burt may
not regard the new appointment as
promotion. though 1t is argued by
the President that it will be, ID
asmuch as it will make Mr.. Burt the real executive
officer of the Civil Service Commission and so
render him National figure.
For District-Attornev the names or Rooert r.
Straban. Robert Sewell brother of Senator Seweli,
of New,Jersey and Elhu Root are mentioned
Mr. Roots appointment is expected by some
thougb il has been understood that be did not de-
sire the place. 80. =, l..
A well-informed New-York politician, who IS
persopal friend of the President, said positively To-
night that General Graham would be retained IN
the service and thai new appointment woulu oe
made I T DisirIct-Att0rnev, either beiore t1e au
iournnent OF very soon after He SAID there couid
be no doubt that Mr. Roo could have the place II
he would take il. II Is understood that there IS no
intention TO disturb Coll ctor Robertson. kulnors
have been in circulation that ex-senator strahdn
would be named for Surveyor. Mr.. Strahan. VINO is
now in Washington. says he knows that no snch ap-
pointment will be made, because the Presldeht
knows he could not accept either OF the CUSTOM
house offices. -
Among the places Tor which nominations are exe
pected are those Of General Appraiser III place OF
General Ketchum, and Assistant Appraiser IN pace
of John A. Bailsh, deceased. James G Granain OF
Newburg seems 10 be the candidate most strongly
pressed for General Appraiser though Donald NC
Lean is also q candidate.
