WASHINGTON, March 21.-This Was an
other day of disappointment for the Office
seekers. 1t was expected that the list TO
be sent In to-day wonid be much larger
and that number of important cffi,es
would be included. The fact that this
was not done was not only Disappointing
to those most directly concerned, but to
the senators as well, who are becoming
anxious for an early termination of the
session. To.day's session of tho Senate
did not begin until l o'clock, when the
nominations were received. Senators were
surprised at the brevity OF the list, and,
supposing that additional names would
be received, took reeass for an hour to
give the President an opportunity to send
in a supplemental list. Upon inquiry
over the telephone, it was learned that no
further names would be sent in, when the
Senate adjourned.
The nomination of Whitelaw Reid was
confirmed to-day without any trouble,
and then Senator Vest, who was absent at
the moment, got tho vote reounsidered to
give him and some other Democrats
a chance to put on record some remarks
in the nature OF protest against the ap-
pointment as q representative of the ma
tion OF a man who had abused the south
ern people as Mr.. Reid has occasionally
done in his paper, but they do not expect
to prevent confirmation. IL is not true
that Senators Evarts and Eawley are op-
posed ~ MIR. Rsid's confirmation.
President Harrison is reported TO have
informed a New York delegation yester-
day that he had about decided to give the
office of public printer to western man.
Secretary Window hes been so over run
with Office seekers that he ordered the
following notice to be posted oonspicu-
ously throughout the treasury building
'The Secretary Of the Treasury reserves
the time from 10 until IL, 30 q. m. for re-
ceiying senators and members of the
House OF Representatives Other persons
desiring to see him upon matters relating
to official patronage will please call be-
tween l1.30 q. m. and / D. NJ. The seq
rotary requests that he may be excused
from receiving visitors after p. M, in
order that no may be able TO devote o
part of the day TO the consideration OF
the current business of the department"
