WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 1.-The num-
ber of West yirgiuiansin Washington has
somewhat diminished. They are, how
ever, enough remaining to keep the two
Senators from becoming lonesome. Early
this morning Senators Camden and Kenna
accompanied ". F. Dyer, Of Petersburg,
and Ed. Mcdonnell, OF Burton, to the
State Department and introduced them to
Secretary Bayard and urged their re-
spective claims. 1t is given outindirectly
tonight that Dyer has been offered con-
sulship at one OF the potts on the Black
Sea. The place is said to be Odessa, which
pays s., 600 per year. Dger's friends say
he wanted the Valparaiso consalship, and
is undecided whether or not hew accept
the other place.
They next accompanied r Mr.. Henshaw,
OF Berkeley, and his brother-in-law, Mr..
enodgrass, to TIE Interior Department,
where they saw Secretary Lamar and Com
missioner Sparks, Of the General Llnd
Office. Mr., snodgrass, 1t is said, wants a
timber agency or some other equally de-
sirable position under the Land Office.
GIBDENs RELIEVED.
Mr.. Kenna was not idle yesterday. It
seems that he was at the Postofice De-
partment and secured the removal OF A. F.
Gibbeus, the postmaster at Charleston, aud
had his steptather, Mr.. Ashby,appointed in
his place. The announcement was made
this morning. The charges made against
Gibbens must have been very strong, mas
much M they satisfied Postmaster Gen
eral Villas that Gibbens ought to go.
Usually Villas is very slow aud for this
reason he is not at all popular among
Democrats.
Among other arrivals here are +. X.
Simpson, OF Point Pleasant, who, it Is
said, ia only visiting friends.
Mr.. Barr, the railroad agent at Charles
town, bas been appointed clerk to julius
G. Holmes, at a compensation, it is said,
Of 81 per day.
AFTER THE FLESH PoTs.
The gang are not only looking after
the postottices, but they are moving on
the railway mail service. A number OF
voluminous charges have reached the
PostofIice Department against number
Of West Virginia Republicans who are
employed In that service.
Mr.. Lewis, Of Jefferson eounty,
and Mr.. Parks, Of Monroe county,
were among the visitors at the Senators
rooms during their Rtay hero. 3.
Senator Camden went over to Baltimore
this afternoon on business trip, but
returned to night. His rooms at Wil!ard's
wero closed oil afternoon, but they are
brilliantly lit up again this evening,
TIE WHEELING PosToFFIcE.
There Is nothing new concerning the
Wheeling postofIise and those interested
seem to be awaiting events. 1t is UNDER
stood that the President has thepapers
and tile Senators, it is said are confident
that Col. Sterling viii soon be removed. !
hear to-day that nothing defnite has been
settled on in connection with the Fair
mont office other than that Reed, 30 far as
Congressman Wilson and tho Admlnistra-
ton are concerned, do not consider him
| In the race. 1t is probable that IN ap.
pointment for that peace will be deferred
ill near the middle OF the month. .t..
Joe Miller is still away, and no one
knows when he will return. ..
