A Rush Of Applications.

THE CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC PRINTER AND THE
PRESENTATION OF THEIR CLAIMS.
The names of at least three of the candidates
for public printer have been formally pre-
sented to the President, and the Endorsements
on some Of them seem to be weighty enough to
secure for the applicants positions in the cabinet
Mr.. M. d. Helms papers were placed in the
hands Of the President by Representatives GAL
hnger, of New Hampshire; Grosvenor, of Ohio,
and Browne, of Indiana. The documents &C.
complaining Mr.. A. r. Harris petition were
presented by Senator Evarts, and signatures
thereon were numerous and of considerable
value. Senator Hiscock, ex-senator Plat,
ex-senator Warner Miller, nearly all the Rep
resentatives, the entire legislature, and
number OF the most prominent New York poll
ticians had inscribed their autographs to the
recommendations. Mr.. Donath's cause was
ably attended to by Senator Quay, Mr.. Gorge W.
Childs, Mr.. Anthony Drexel, Senator Cameron
and by the Pennsylvania delegation.
1t is whispered around at the White House
this afternoon that Capt. Meredith will be ap-
pointed chief of the bureau Of engraving and
printing, and there are several little circum-
stances which point to the truthfulness of this
theory.
The President has stated very clearly that he
will make his selection of public printer not on
mans political strength but on his merits as
a business man and a printer. Mr.. Harris
chances are spoiled by this declaration because
his friends do not claim that he Is possessed of
technical skill. Mr.. Donath's friends, ON the
other hand, are confident that if ability and
experience are the essential requisites their
man will get the place.

ANXIOUS FOR BAIL.
But the Doctor Attending the Wounded
Man Fails to Appear.

To-day in the Police Court Mr.. Campbell
Darlington renewed his application for bail in
the case Of Everett Hubbard. the member of
the Governors Guard, Of Annapolis, who is
charged with shooting a colored man, named
Champ Evans, in the division" last Monday
Bail was refused the other day, because
of the dangerous condition of the injured man.
As published at the time the bullet entered the
injured mans heart. 1t is supposed to have
passed through his lung and lodged in the
shoulder. The attending physician, DR.. Fran
els, performed a successful operation on
the patient Thursday afternoon and extracted
the ball. Yesterday morning it was reported
that the patient was very low and the court de-
clined to accept bail A subpoena was issued
for the doctor to appear and give some infor-
nation concerning the condition of the injured
long time to obtain the information and he
thought that the prisoner should be admitted
to bail unless some showing was made within a
reasonable time.
Prosecuting Attorney Arms told Of his visits
to the house Of the injured man, and said that
be had endeavored to have DIR. Francis here
this morning. The subpoena had not been re-
turned. but he thought that the doctor would
probably appear during the day.
Judge Miller thought that the doctor should
have been here, and assured Mr. Darlington
that some action would be taken by the court
this afternoon whether the doctor appeared or
not.

Robert Rawles, the colored driver of a might
line" hack, appeared before the Police Court
this morning and charged middle-aged white

her up on the street about IL o'clock
last night. She said that it was too
late for her to go to the hotel and
employed him to drive her about the city until
morning. During the night he purchased her
bottle Of whisky. and she gave him a drink.
During her ride about the city her foot man

dry is not known, but Moore certainly did not

the damage was done during the scuaie. Moore
was locked up and taken TO the Police Court this

that besiege him. He therefore requested Gov.
Thompson to act as Secretary to-day. This
morning he went into the Office of the First As
sistant Secretary, and there had long CONVEX
sation with Gov. Thompson in relation to
certain matters pending before the department.
Orders were given to keep visitors out of the
room, but while the two were consulting the

entered. He was on an errand with Mr..
Window, and the conference was discontinued

What Did the President Promise.
TROUBLE AMONG THE MICHIGANDRRs OVER TIL
Observation-Disclosures

TROUBLE AMONG THE MIcHIeAEDRRs OVER THE
Observation-Disclosures
The Michigan delegation is puzzled and un-
less the puzzle is speedily solved there will
probably be trouble among the Wolverines.
Gen. Alger is the cause of the disturbance and
his explanation is being anxiously waited for.
1t seems that the general told the delegation
that he had talked with President Harrison
over Michigan offices, and that the Presi-
dent had expressed regret because he
could not put him (Alger) in the cabi-
net. To alleviate the pain this disappointment
had caused he (the President) would allow the
general to nominate some one for solicitor
general The general at once named Mr..
Henry M. Dufield, and in telling the story to
the delegation said that all the President
wanted was to have them indorse the
nomination, which was a personal one and
was not to be charged to the state The in
dorsement at once followed. Then the delega-
ton went up, saw the President, and handed in
Mr.. Duf6elds name. They were very much
astonished when the President said be knew
nothing about the affair and advised
them to file the application
with the Attorney General The shock was
quite severe and now everybody interested is
wondering Just what the President did promise
Gen. Alger.
