has agreed to recognize Tammany in the
appointment of General Martin Mcmahon
to be United States Marshal of New York
city, and Hon. A NJ Dorsheimer as Dis
trict Attorney, to succeed Elihu Root.

ment by the President of ex-Leutenent-
Governor and ex-Congressman Dorsheimer
as United States District Attorney, and
General I. Mcmahon as United States
Marshal, was the general topic of discussion
among politicians and clubmen this even
ing. Nearly everybody appeared pleased
with the appointments Mr. Dorsheimer's
appointment was recommended by Tam
many Hall. While he has not been a mem
Der of either of the prominent Democratic
clubs of the city, it is understood that his
affiliations have been with Tammany Hail.
General McMahon's appointment is
claimed by both the county DEM
ocracy and Irving Hall, but
it is thought by some of the leading politi-
clans that his appointment is due TO no
one organization, but to several. General
Mcmahon said My name has never
been mentioned in connection with the
office to my knowledge. Twas candidate
for the Collectorship, but not for this-so
you can judge whether or not | am sur
prised. The office pays only 81 600 year
more than ! am now receiving in my pres
ent position. | don't know whetherl shall
accept or not

Transcontinental Freight Business.
New YORK, June 30th-Inquiries made
at the railroad freight offices this morning
elected the information that San Francisco
business is practically at standstill. 1t
seems that shippers have been expecting
another cut in prices as the result of the
Chicago meeting of the TranScontinental
pool, and have held back freight. The
heavy movement in dry goods expected by
the end of June has not come about.
Neither the Union Pacific, Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe nor Sunset are doing
anything like the business they did this
time last year. Tomorrow the schedule
rates will be made out as decided upon at
