THE DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS.
A Probability That They Will be Made
Before Congress Meets.

1t is quite possible now that the District ap-
pointments will be made just before the meet
ing of Congress The President is not now
giving the matter any attention, for the rea-
son that the preparation of his mes
sage is taking up his time, but
it is quite likely that he will find time before
Congress meets to make the appointments. A
reason suggested for making these appoint
ments before Congress meets is that there is
danger that il the appointments were made
later the Senate would not get chance to act
on them for some time. Meanwhile, the
democratic officials would hold on to their
places. II the new men 60 in during the re-
cess they will enjoy their offices pending con-
frmation. with a practical certainty Of being
confirmed finally.

Important Testimony Put in About Pat
Dinan's Old White Horse.

CHICAGO Nov. 21.-Just before court opened
this morning in the Cronin case Judge Nc
Connell called Judge Longenecker, Mr. Forrest
and Mr.. Mills to the bench and informed them
that he had received letter from man who
claimed to have seen Dan Coughlin at the Chi
cago avenue station about o'clock the night
of May 4. Mr.. Forrest took the address and
the man will be called as witness.
Pat Dinon was the first witness called when
court opened. He swore that the white horse
now on exhibition in museum was his own
and only white horse.
Lewis Beidendender, young man from Ho-
boken NJ, was then called. He said that he
has seen the horse on exhibition at the museum
and it is not the one that was driven
to Mr. Conklin's residence. He was standing
in cigar store on the evening of May 4, oppo-
site DR.. Cronin's Office. He noticed the horse
particularly. 1t was gray-not white horse.
In reply to question from Mr.. Forrest witness
said he had seen the horse since; that he saw
him on the street day before yesterday.
The cross-examination of Beidendender con-
Quoted by Attorney Ingham was q very searching
one. In answer to the questions fired at him
with the rapidity of gatling gun in full play
he said he could not tell whoever pointed DIR.
Cronin out to him. but some one did.

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
MIR. Wanamaker Preparing His Annual
Report-Mr. Clarkson Acting PING.

Postmaster General Wanamaker has spent
most OF his time for several days past at his
residence on street. With the assistance of
his private secretary, Mr.. Cushing, he is gradu-
ally getting into shape the material for his
annual report, which, it is said, will be an able
review of the postal service and its needs He
expects to have the reportready for the printer
in few days During his absence from the
department the first assistant, Mr.. GARRISON, is
acting postmaster general.
Mr. cLARKsoys METHODS.
These additional duties require Mr.. Clark
son to retire still further in the recesses of his
Office, where the public can reach him only
after long and laborious process. He is prob
ably the most securely locked up man during
business hours Of any official in the govern
ment. He has two rooms in the southeast cor
ner of the building. One is used as the gen.
eral reception room. A large desk occupies
the center of this apartment at which Mr..
Clarkson sits when he is talking. In the ad-
joining room. which are smaller is his stenogra-
pher and another desk where Mr.. Clarkson sits
WHEN HE Is WORKING.
The doors leading into both of these rooms
from the corridors are kept locked and a mes
senser stands on duty on the outside. When
Mr.. Clarkson is in the smaller room he sees no
one except important visitors. The doors be-
tween the rooms are kept locked and some of
the callers are admitted to the larger room.
where they wait until Mr.. Clarkson makes his
appearance. He has been obliged to adopt
these precautions on account of the great num-
Der Of people who come daily to see him. I'm
less he made some such arrangement for at
tending to the business of the Office he would
have no opportunity to do anything except to
talk.
SOUGHT FOR BY POLITICIANS.
In addition to the people who want to see
him about post offices, Mr.. Clarkson is regarded
as man Of great political wisdom and the re-
suit is that political workers from all parts .of
the country come to consult him about local
politics. For long time after the present
administration came into power the corri-
doris about Mr.. Clarkson's room were thronged
all day. Now there is no crowd, but at almost
any hour of the day callers will be found In his
reception room or standing in the corridor
outside Of the door.

ALL QUIET IN BRAZIL.
The New Government Instructs the Pam
American Delegates to Continue to Act.

DIR. Valente, minister from Brazil, called at
the State department today and informed the
Secretary that his latest advices from Brazil
were to the effect that peace and tranquility
reigned and that the new government was re-
ceiving the support of the people. DR.. yalente

provisional government to instruct the repre-
sentatives OF Brazil to the international Ameri-

sent to the delegates in the international

No Clear Up Before Tomorrow.

There was but one low instead of three on
the weather map this morning. but that one,
central over Kentucky, was sufficient to make
the entire eastern portion of the country very
damp. 1t was the result of a combination of
the two western lows that we're noted yester-
day and was very respectable storm. The
morning prediction was rain, warmer, south

OF the prognosticator that the storm would not
