ceptions have been reported from the com.
mittee and will be confirmed before adj
journment. Of the offices yet to be filled,
the most important are commissioners OF
the general land office and public printer.
1t Is believed they will be hlIed within u
few days. Editor Osborn, of the Los

o- the man selected for public printer, but
no satisfactory guess can be made, The
general opinion is that Meredith, of

man for public printer, will snc-
