The surveyor-Generalship of California

| WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-The pa
| pers IN the case of the office of Surveyor
| General of the State of California have
been taken from the Interior Department
| to the White House. and it is believed that
the appointment will be made very soon.
| The indications now point to the selection
OF Major Dick Hammond. There are quite
number of applicants for the office,
among the most prominent being Messrs
Hammond Livingston and Rodgers. Con-
gresham Henley indorses Hammond
and Judge Field is supporting Mr.. Living
ston. Mr.. Hammond is a native of Cali
| fornia, nephew of Colonel Jack HAYES
the Texas Ranger" young man said to
be possessed of excellent business capacity,
and thoroughly qualified for the appoint
ment.
Naturalized American Citizens in Ger
many and Austria.
| WASHINGTON, November 18th.-The Pre-
sident has called on the State Department
for full statement of our relations with
Germany and Austria in regard to the
treatment of naturalized citizens of the
United States in those countries. 1t is I'M
derstood that the President is determined
that the United States shall no longer re-
main inactive upon this question. In the
event of Germany and Austria ignoring our
| BlOttStSs II Is DEllCNGU lIlll the severance OF
| all diplomatic relations with those coun-
tries will rapidly bring about crisis 1t is
not probable that the President will men
ton the trouble in his message, but he will
make powerful suggestions about the need
of navy, and the alarming condition OF
coast defenses.
PROMPT DENIAL.
WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-The State
Department officials positively DENY that
the President has made any request for
papers in regard to the condition of our
| naturalized citizens in Austria and Ger
many, or that there is any truth whatever
in the Washington special to the New York
papers to-day.
| The GoyernOrship of Dakota Territory.
WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-Zeebach,
| the candidate for Governor of Dakota, is at
| the National Hotel, with n. ii. Day. his
hacker. The twain have called on the
| President and were not kicked out the bach,
door. Both express pleasure at the Presi-
dents reception. Day is still enthusiastic
[ and sanguine. He says Zeebach is sure To
be the man, and the day is near when his
| triumph will come. On the other hand,
| there is authority for saying the President
was long ago of the opinion that Zeebach
should not have the Governorship This
conclusion was forced upon him by Zee.
| bach himself, whose tactics are not such as
to please Mr.. Cleveland. People who have
studied the Presidents method in selecting
| officials, and there are a great many men
who have done this for the practical adj
vantage to be derived from it, say he is sure
to pass by the candidate who has a bic
batch of Endorsements that seem to have
been collected for the sake of quantity and
mass rather than quality and character

| would require dray to haul them all away
from the Interior Department There are
doubtless no less than 10000 personal let
tiers on file in his behalf. The White House
clerks have received upwards of 500 tele-
grams from friends of Zeebach, the word
ing of which all was nearly the same
| The President knew these facts long ago
and made up his mind about it. Mr.. Dav,
however, thinks he is going to get what he
wants.
Land Titles in New Mexico.
WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-Governo1
| Edmund c. Ross, of New Mexico. in his
annual report, dwells upon the fact that
| immigration into that Territory is restricted
by fear as to the validity of the land titles
there. He recites how Spanish and Mexi-
can grants have been made to cover tracts
vastly larger than was originally intended
and that great quantities of land have been
fraudulently entered through forgery and
| perjury. He recommends that Congress
appoint commission to quiet titles. The
Indian troubles of the Territory are treated
| at length.
