WASHINGTON, January 10th.-The CON
tirmation of Lamar is now but question
of few days. The majority which Lamar
will receive is variously estimated at from
four to six, though it may be less. There
is pretty well-founded impression pre-
vailing tonight that all the Pacific coast
Senators will vote to confirm him, and it
may be that some of the extreme Western
men will follow the same course.
Lamar and Sparks.

New YORK, January 10th.-The Posts
Washington special says that the removal
by Lamar of John w. d. Barnes, one of
the law clerks in the General Land Office,
which was one of Lamar's last official acts
as Secretary, meant more than a mere
change in the Division Clerkship Itmeant
that Lamar was determined, before leaving
the office, to get rid of the last vestige of
the policy OF ex-Land Commissioner
Sparks. Barnes was largely Sparks ad-
wiser.
