WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-The nom
nation of Jno. 7. McGrsW, ODE Collector
of Internal Revenue for the district Of
West Virginia, was under consideration in
the Committee on Finance Of the Senate
this forenoon. The committee disposed Of
the case of Thos. Haulon, to be Collector
for the Terrs Hsute, Ind, district, BY
agreeing on q strict party vote to report 1t
Tor rejection. The MeGrsw case was then
discussed but before q vote was reached
the regular hour for adjournment arrived.
Enough is known, however, to make the
prediction that MeGrsW's nomination will
also be adversely acted upon, and the COM
mittee by 8 party vote will recommend its
rejection by the Senate. In fact Senator
Eenps was notified today By members OF
tbe committee, that the West Virginia
ssse would receive uniavorable action. 1t
is possible, and not altogether improbable,
that Camden and K4nns will be able to
secure McG:aw's confirmation notWith-
sspding the committees action, but 1t is
uncertain The case will be reported back
n the Sanste during the week,
and then through courtesy to Senator
Camden. it will probably be allowed to he
o,,r until his return from Parkersburg,
where he has gone to attend the wedding

Tuesday So far as McGFs~ is concerned
The clouds look dark, Sherman, it is IN.

will urge rejection on the floor Ofthe Sen
ATE when the nomination comes up for con-
alteration.
