The Senate having sgnifed It's desire 20 adjourn
tomorrow sine die, larger number Of appoint
ments was expected than the above list includes.
For one the nomination of Robert p. Porter 20
be Commissioner Of the Eleventh Census was
looked for, it Is said TO have been agreed upon
at the Cabinet meeting on Friday. Another
nomination reported to have been submitted to
the Cabinet and approved by it was that Of
Ex-Governor Stone, Of Iowa, to be Commissioners
Of the General Land Office. The friends Of both
these gentlemen were therefore sorely disap-
pointed to-day when the names Of their candi-
dates did not appear on the list Of appointments
sent to the Senate. In wellinformsd circles IL Is
believed that Mr.. Porter Is certain to get tho
Office for which his name has been prominently
mentioned, but in the case Of ex-Governor Stone
there is evidently hitch caused, it is presumed,
by protests from the friends Of other candidates.
Of whom there is quite number.
The nomination Of Dir. Roberts adds another to
the list Of honors conferred upon members of tho
journalistic profe ession by the Administration Of
President Harrison. Mr. Roberts is the Editor of
The Utica Herald and has long been identified
with the political interests of the Repubbcsu party
in the State Of New York, At Chicago last Jans
he 1iSs prominent figure in New York delega-
tsoS 10 the National Repnb,icaa Cauyention.

Mr.. Huston's name has been SO prominently
bessre the nnbIic in tbe last campairn that it
seems almost superfuous to refer to him at any
great length at the present time. His long expe-
rience as a banker and business man, in Indiana
and elsewhere, points to him as peculiarly happy
selection of the Presidents for the Office be has
