NO APPOINTMENT MADE.
The Office of Hulls Inspector With
out an Incumbent.


There was a deadlock yesterday over
the appointment of an Inspector
of Hulls of Steamers for this
district to succeed the present in
cumbent. Peter Jones. There are two
applicants for the place: Mr.. Thomas
Laird, of Savannah. and Mr.. n. b. Brewer.
OF Jacksonville. T1ey were eX amined
on Friday by Dir. James Curran, the
supervising inspector of this district, and
Mr.. T.. f. Johnson, the Collector Of the
port. Judge Emory Speer is also men,
her of the designating board. but he is not
in Savannah. Mr.. Curr8n said yesterday
that both of the applicants passed credit
able examinations, and he added that he
could iudOrse either Of them.
Mr.. Brewer 10 young man, said to be
backed for the place by Congressman
Charles Dougherty, of Florida. Mr.. Cur
ran came here under instructions from
the department to vote Tor Mir. Brewer.
Collector Johnson Is for Mr.. Laird and
hence no appointment has been made.
Mr.. Curran telegraphed the state of az

ter.
Florida claims the appointment, the
present inspector being from Jackson
vile. 1t is said that Mr.. Dougherty has
not had his share in The distribution of
