wAsHISGroS, D. c., March l2.-The
nomination Of Joseph S. Miller, to be Com
missioner. of Internal Revenue, did not
reach the Senate today. In fact, there
was no nominations whatever made BY the
President to-day. The President has
changed the days OF Cabinet meetings to
Tuesdays and Thursdays. and as the. change
went into effect to-day, this may be the
reason that no appointments were sent IN
this afternoon. West Virginians of promin-
ence assert that Miller will be the new
Commissioner, and it is understood that
Miller himself believes that he will be.
Miller and Joe Hass'er were seen sitting IN
the reserved gallery today and after long
wait for the appearance OF the Presidents
secretary, Camden motioned to them to
come down to the marble room, where the
three had long conference. Later IN the
afternoon, Miller and Phil Snyder were seen
in cab driving as fast as they could toward
Senator Camden's room. Late tonight
Senator Camden and Kenna both said that
Miller's appointment had been
Settled
upon and that his nomination in all prop a.
biIty would go to the Senate tomorrow
A story has been printed here to the effect
that Miller's candidacy had created another
breach between CARLYLE and Randall. There
is nothing in it. Carlyle is naturally for
Phil. Thompson, but Randall has taken no
part in the contest whatever. Both Cam
den and Kenna have been untiring in their
zeal to secure Millers appointment and
have succeeded. Every action on their part
has met with the hearty approval Of the
three Democratic Congressman from West
Virginia. Hassler is anxious to secure the
appointment Of Pension Agent in this city.
1t is understood that he has the backing OF
the West Virginia delegation in Congress.
Preston Pew, of Parkersburg, is here. He
is willing to accept anything that the
congressman will get for him, even
position in the Department. Preston
Chew is also here, but it is not known what
he wants. C. B. Wentzsl and James
Smallwood both want to be postmaster at
Harper's Ferry. Bill Colston wants to oust
George T. Evans at Martinsburg and take
his place. 1t is probable that an effort will
be made 10 get Evans out on partisan
grounds. George Flagg wants to lick post
age stamps for the people of ChaTlestoWR
Jefferson county. DR.. Simons, of the same
place, wants position ss patent examiner
in the patent office.
sAE nMowSsnna M has been laid up all day
with severe cold contracted during the
closing hours of the session and the Decor
has instructed him to rem Hn in doors.
The Democratic Senate 5 have
Completed Their Arrangement
of the minority representationOnt the Senate
Committees and the formal announcement
of the committees will he made tomorrow.
Camden has been placed on Military Af
fairs, Pensions and Public Buildings and
Grounds. He will also probably be as
signed a place on the Committee on Post
Offices. kenna has been assigned to the
Committees on Commerce, on Railroads, on
Expenditure Of Public Monies and on Re-
vision Of the Laws. Both are satisfied.
