Camden. Collar wroog Side Out.

Special Dipatea to he iateilIgenesr.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 9.-Senator
Camden got up and dressed himself in
such hurry this morning that he put
bis collar on wrong side out, and he at
tracted considerable attention as he made
the rounds to-day for the reason that on
the back OF his neck, on clean white sur
face, was displayed his name in bold black
letters.
The new arrivals to-day were Charles
Caldwell and David H. Leonard, Of Par
kersburg. Tho former being Republic
can does not want an olfice. He claims
to be here on Pension business.
Appointment Clerk Hassler, Of the In.
terror Department, who has been away on
a two weeks vacation, returned to-day
with his family. There is a prospect now
that the Administration will be able to
get along.
FAIRMoNT PoSToFFrcE.
MS. Barnes and L. 7. Carr, two Of the
aspirants for the Fairmont postofIice, are
here. 1t is understood that SIr. Wilson
has not made any recommendation in
that case yet aud that he Ia very much
embarrassed. He will probably visit
Fairmont before deciding who he will
recommend.
/ hear that Frank ]. Park, of Union,
Monroe county, stands q very fair pros:
pect OF receiving an appointment as Chief
OF q division in the Interior Department.
Mr.. Park was introduced to Secretary
Lamar to-day by Representative Snyder,
and the latter was very fayorab!y i'm
pressed with Mr. Park.
Quite delegation, accompanied by
Senators Camden and Kenna and Con-
pressmen Snyder and Wilson, called on
the President. Among the callers were
Collector McGraw, Dave Leonard, Mr..
Caldwell aud Mr.. Park Each OF the
callers were introduced to the President
by Senators Camden and Kenna.
COLLECTOR M'GRAw PARALYzEs THE PREsI-
DENT.
When it came McGraw's turn to be pre-
sented it is said that the effect was very
amusing. Mr.. Camden said: "Mr. Presi-
dent, want to introduce to you Mr.. John
T. McGraw, our Collector oil Internal
Revenue" Mr.. McGraw had never met
the President, nor had the latter ever be-
fore seen Mr.. McGraw. The President
leaning over, grasped McGraw's hand at
the same time eyeing him from head to
foot, There was an expression on his face
in which one could almost read, "Weii,
great heavens, is this it?" The President
Foon recovered himself, however, but he
held on to McGraw's hand longer than he
did any OF tho others, and atno time attere
wards while the party were in the Presi-
dents room did he take his eyes of Nc
Graw. They eeemed to follow him wher-
ever he went. 1t is plain that Mr.. Clege-
land had pictured McGraw as an entirely
different looking man than the one he is,
and the one he was introduced to to-day.
Mr.. LEONARD WANTS To BE ATTORNEY.
Mr.. D. II. Leonard wants 10 be United
States District Attorney, but the Third
District people think that it ought to so
to that section OF the State. I hear some
talk to the effect that Leonard will be
offered the P4rkersbnrg postofice, thereby
compromising with him. The President
readily recognized Mr.. Leonard today
when be called rs one oithe callers at the
White House last May.
There are no new developments in the
Wheeling pcstoffice controversy. It is not
probable that there will be any until next
week sometime. -
Ihear that Mr.. Dyer Is not disposed to
accept the Odessa consu!ship, and In. the
event he refuses 1t it, will be rendered to
Major Ell. Mcdonnell.
