WASHINGTON, May 28.-Within the
mast week the Secretary of State has re-
81 1ived number of additional letters
a recommending the appointment of Col. G.
AZ. Anderson, of Savannah, to place in
81 lhe foreign service of the government.
= Dne of them is from Representative Geo.
h. Barnes, of Georgia. The letters filed
In favor Of Col. Anderson's appointment
are unusually weighty. Their quality is
n Ilas satisfactory as their quantity. When

q Mother pressing duties to consider the 100
vacancies now existing in the foreign
service for which 1000 applications have
been filed. it is safe TO say that Col. Ander-
SON will receive favorable consideration.
Meanwhile Col. Anderson has been visit
ing Gen. G. W. G. Lee and other Demo-

TRICKING THE PRESIDENT.
Ill The President is very much disgusted
4 with those persons, Congressman and
n others. who have recommended unfit men
E 10 HIM for appointment TO office. He does
not hesitate to express strongly his dis
approval of their conduct. Among those
~ who have made representations to him
E are the representatives of one of the
N Colorado factions. He holds them re-
sponsible for two unfit appointments, OF
which that of Metre, to a place in the
Consular service, is one, and that of an
other man who once served a term in the
penitentiary is another. When some of
/ "a these Colorado men called at the
I White House Yesterday the Presi-
dent told them very plainly that
be held them responsible for
the bad recommendations they had made,
and that he wanted nothing more TO do
with them. Chow can believe what you
say" he asked, ''after my experience
81 with your"
They came away very much abashed.
The representatives of the other faction
say that the men reprimanded by the
# President do not represent the majority OF
the Democrats of Colorado, but as these
men indOrse Metre, it is hard Ia see the
difference between the factions. Men who
81 lead the President into mistanes Will need
letters of introduction at the White House
81 hereafter.
STAND OF THE REPUBLICANS.
tits stated that the Republicans of the
Il Senate determined at the last caucus thev
held last spring that they would vote
against the confirmation of any Demo-
cratic partisan nominated TO succeed an
M efficient Republican, whether the latter
was removed for offensive partisanship or
- not, but it is impossible to say how far a
decision reached by a caucus last spring
4 will govern the Republicans Of the Senate
FL next winter. 1t is gathered from what
Ill Republican Senators who have beer in
f town recently say, that they will not pre-
vent the confirmation Of any fit nomina-
tiOn.

Coz. Mosby, who has been the United
States Consul ut Hong Kong, writes to a
friend that during the Joaquin trouble
be was offered command Of Chinese
army, but declined it because he did not
want to get the reputation of being a SOL

GUARDING THE APPROPRIATIONS.

more than One-twelfth of the annual ap-
propriations for the Department of Agri-

A violation OF this rule by any officer of

biity for its expenditures will be con-
sidered cause by the Commissioner for
