TIE ENGLISH MISSION.
There seems 10 be no doubt 81 the fact
that a serious difference OF opinion exists
between President Harrison and secretary
Elaine regarding the filing of The English

could have bis own way, Whiielsw Reid
would be appointed Minister TO England.

REsTLEss.
The ofice.seekers are growing very rest
less. IhinQs are moving too slowly, Snd
not OILY DO they show evidences OF disgust,
but TIE congressman who are compelled 10
wait here are wondering how Harrison can
ind time 60 make 30 many Indiana and Mou-
1ara appointments, and plead Tor more time

1uE HANGERS oN.
The hancers-on want changes made IN The
heads Of bureaus, and thew also think that
thc p0s.Ollices and internal revenue offices
ought 10 be bomharded at once and the
Democratic occupants driven out as speedily
rs possible.
President Harrison is daily receiving
number Of callers. but Malone o, virginia
bias not been back 10 the white House sitcc
ne was accorded an interview lasting le.,
than twn minutes. The general opinion
here is that Blaine will SEQ that Malone has
.liiie or no influence with this Aduinisira-
ton.
