THE DISTRICT OFFICES.
The President i'm NO Hurry to Make
Changes.
THE CoMMIssIoNERsHIPs AND THE MARSHAL


1t Is learned at the White House that there Is
bot bare possibility of the Presidents dispos-
ing OF the matter OF District appointments for a
month. He sees no necessity for immediate
changes, at least not before the close of the
fiscal year. while more pressing matters claim
his attention The interest in the District offices
and the pressure for changes in them
are practically confined to the Dis
trict, ana under the circumstances he
can better afford to let the matter
rest for the present, and attend TO filling posi-
tions for which the terms have expired, where
the conduct of the present incumbents necessi-
tates change, or regarding which there is great
pressure brought to bear from entire states, to
maze appointments at the earliest possible date
ior urgent reasons. The only active applicant
ior 2 District commissionership is Mr.. $. d.
charles, the East Washington candidate. whose
Claims are based OH sectional representation.
III is understood that the President does
not contemplate change OF Commissioners
untli after the expiration of the term of Com
missioner West, on the 14th of July. There is
cessor to Major Lydecker. In this connection
the names OF Col. T. {. Hains, who has charge
OF Tue uatS Improvement, and Captains X. l..
HoAie and +. V. Greene, Of the engineer corps,
are mentioned for the position because of their
familiarity with District matters. AS for the
OF casually by the President and Attorney Gen
erai once in conversation, and the claims of
applicants were not then considered.
POSSIBILITY THAT A MARSHAL MAY BE AP-
POINTED NEXT WEEK.
IL IS animated to-day that the President may

sinai, and that successor 10 Col. McMchael
may be appointed next week, after the return
OF the President from New York.

Cluverius' Defense.

THE WATCH KEY NOT TO BE TAKEN APART
EVIDENCE FOR THE PRISONER.
In the Cluverius murder trial in Richmond,
Va yesterday morning some time was spent
in discussing the question as to whether Her
man JOEL the witness who had testified to re-
pairing watch key for the prisoner, should be
allowed to take the key to pieces for the pur-
pose Of identifying it. The defense stated that
they wished TO Introduce witnesses whose testi-
mony would necessitate the introduction Of the
key, and, consequently, they did not want the
key taken apart. It was decided that the key
should not be taken to pieces.
The defense then opened their case by intro
ducing Mrs. Jane F. Tunstall as their first wit
ness. She testified that she had lived at Little
Plymouth, King and Queen county over thirty
years. The prisoner was her nephew and Lii
liam Madison was her grandniece. The
prisoner had resided at her house from 1876
until the time of his arrest, except
when he was at school. Soon alter her hus-
bands death she gave the prisoner watch and
key. They had belonged to her husband.
Witness was shown the key found at the reser.
voir, and she said she had never seen it before
nor one like 1t. Witness had received three
letters from Lillian shortly before her death
The last one was dated March II. It was evi.
IDENTIFY misdated, as it was one day after Iilli-
ans death. This letter was read aloud. In it
Lillian informed Mr.. Tunstall that she was
about to close her school in Bath county and go
to Old Point Comfort with q lady friend, as a
companion. Her friend was to pay all expenses.
Other witnesses testified TO the prisoners eX-
cellent reputation and to the fact that he wore
no moustache about the time of the murder.

day, Messrs. Miller and Hay, representing Mr..

In the examination the witness repeated
that he would not pass the work if he were a
