OUR CONGREssaIEN.
They Are Growing Thin, Houow-Eyed
and Pallid

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-The members
OF the California delegation are beginning
to show the effects of over month of con-
hnuous otfice-hunting. They are growing
thin, hollow-eyed and pallid. Every
morning they cover their respective beats,
with all the regularity of policeman.
First to the White House to introduce
some constituent to the President, or urge
him to hurry some appointment; next to
the State Department, 10 look after the
claims OF dozens of California applicants
Tor Consuistes and thence to the Navy De-
partment, to advise some change at the
Mare Island Navy Yard that would be to
interest OF the public service as well as to
the Republican party; thence to the Office
OF the Secretary of War, where matters af-
fecting the river and harbor works and the
Benicla arsenal come up for discussion.
On the way to the downtown Departments,
q half mile distant, call is made at the
Department OF Justice, where the Attorney
General listens to statements about selec-
tions of District Attorneys and United
States Marshals to succeed present Demo-
cratic incumbents and receives the applica-
tons for pardon.
Across the avenue from the Department
of Justice is the Treasury Department,
where Secretary Window listens patiently
to their appeals for appointment of men
in the Custom-house, Mint, Assay, Internal
Revenue offices, etc., at San Francisco as
recommended by the delegation It is g
fifteen minutes walk down to the Post
office Department where General Wana-
| maker and Mr.. Clarkson are beginning the
work Of putting 5000 Republicans in the
places held by 5000 Democrats. After
recommending number of changes here
a visit is paid to the Interior Department
across street, where the Registers and
Receivers OF the Land Offices, and the
Pension Agents for the coast are appointed.
If the members have any strength left,
they can walk down three squares to the
Pension Office to push the claims of few
pensioners. The Agricultural Department
is about a mile distant from the Pension
Office. and when an order for seeds is OBJ
tanned there, the member returns to his
room to meet few gentlemen who called
to make appointments with him for a
round of similar calls next day. Next
week, however, it is expected that all the
members will have left for their homes.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS.
Collectors of Internal Revenue WIN Not
BE Annointad unfiI Nav

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-It is not be-
Eeved THAT any new collectors of internal
revenue will be appointed within the next
three weeks. On the 1st of Nav the col
lectors issue retail license stamps through
out the country. This is an immense
work, thousands of stamps having to be
signed. The collectors have usually begun
this work about the 10Th of April and con-
tinue 1t until the 9th of March If the col
lector was removed after he had begun
this work and before the lst of May, all the
stamps signed by him would be of no
value, and the work would have to be done
over again. For this reason, the policy of
the Treasury Department will be to make
no change in the places, from this time
until after May 1st.
The President and his Cabinet officers
are considering the selections for the more
important appointments with great care
and deliberation. The desire for haste is
not permitted to interfere with their calm
judgment. The smaller matters will have
to come later, and in measure will de-
pend upon the greater. The President re-
ceived more appeals during the two hours
each day he gives TO visitors than he can
begin to consider during the rest of the
day, and as matter of course work is ac-
cumulating upon him.

became very denonsuatiye, and was finally
elected from the church amid great excite

Resolutions were passed requesting the
Court to refuse Keller renewal Of his
license. One old lady became so much ex-
cited that she rushed up to Keeler, as he
was leaving the church, and struck him in
the face with her fist.

The latter road had not been consulted in
the transaction and Immediately entered

ton of an agreement, and that tickets will
not be honored via the Yellowstone Park
region that are obtained in the same way.

A SPLENDID OUTLOOK.
Condition of Winter Grain and Far
Animals throughout the Union.

ConuitiOn OF Winter Grain and Farm
Animals Throughout the Union.
WASHINGTON, April 10th.-The crop re-
porting service of the Department of Agri
culture for April relates to the condition
of winter grain and farm animals as go out
OF winter quarters.
Seeding wheat was somewhat DELAYED in
the Middle States by the early autumn
rains and west of Ohio by the dry weather
in September and October. Later condi.
tons are favorable in both sections, with
mild and drier weather in the East and 8
fair supply of moisture in the West. In the
South the condition of the soil for seeding
was generally favorable. In California the
autumn rains were followed by a dry sea.
son In winter, but the refreshing showers
IN March caused termination of lately
sown and vigorous growth of the early
seeded area.
There was little winter protection, except
Tor short time 10 midwinter, in the lati.
tude OF heavy winter SHOWS, consequently
the more northern breadths are somewhat
brown in color, and patches in wet soils are
winter killed, yet the temperature has been
so mild, with so few sudden extremes, that
the present condition is very good.
Plants are generally well rooted, and
have been growing over large part of the
area through the winter. The general
average condition is "a, nearly the same as
the April condition of the crop of 1886
which fell at harvest to S7S, that of 1888
50, and that of the previous year, SS.1
The April condition of the large crop oi
1854 was 95.4, going up to 9S at harvest.
The present condition of the principal
States is: New York, "a; Pennsylvania

condition in the Southern States ranges
from 90 to 81.

The mild weather has been favorable to
farm animals, which are generally in high
condition. The general average for horses

THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS.
One Hundred Thousand People Ready t
Cross tho Linz

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-No end oi
trouble is anticipated from the enormous
rush of boomers to Oklahoma. There are
only about ten thousand quarter sections
and about one hundred thousand people
have made arrangements for invading the
promised land the moment the Presiden,
drops the hat.
The most reasonable estimate that can
be made puts about five claimants to every
quarter section. For every well watered
and well situated quarter section there will
be dozen claimants, and they will all mi.
tiate their claims so nearly simultaneously
that as the witnesses will be rival claimants
it will be simply impossible to determine
who located first, and hundreds of disputes
will have to be settled by the primitive ap.
peal TO force.

Death of Admiral Patterson.

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-Rear Admiral
Thomas H. Patterson is dead, aged 50.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon from his residence. Admiral
Patterson entered the service in 1886 from
Louisiana, and was retired in 1877. He
saw nearly twenty-three years of sea serv-
ice and was nearly the same length of
time on shore duty.
Rear Admiral Patterson was born in New
Orleans in 1920, and entered the navy as a
midshipman in 1886, and at the breaking
out of the war had attained the rank of
Lieutenant. He was present at the siege of
Yorktown, and opened the way up the
Pamunky river in support of General Nc
Clellan's army. He was commissioned
Commander in 1852, and from that time
until 1865 was engaged in blockade duty
of Wilmington, n. G. He became Com
modore in 1873. He commanded the
Washington Navy Board in 1876, and was
President Of the Naval Board of Examina-
ton. In 1881 he became Rear Admiral,
his last sea duty being to command the
Asiatic squadron in 1880. He was retired
IN 1888. He was brother to the wife of
Admiral Porter.
Superintendent of Foreign Mails.
WASHINGTON, April 10th.-The contest
for the position of Superintendent of For
is becoming quite spirited The salary at
tacbed to the office is $500 Per year, and
the fact that the new Superintendent will
attend the important Postal Congress in
Europe during the year created an unusual
interest among the applicants.
First Assistant Postmaster-General E. G.
Fowler is mentioned as possible successor
TO Jos. Roy, Chief Clerk OF the Department,
who has resigned.
It is believed that James E. Stewart, of
Illinois, for many years Postoffice In
spector, will be appointed Chief Inspector,
to succeed Mr.. West.
Duffield for Solicitor General.
WASHINGTON, April 10th.-Ths Star to-
night says that it is learned on unques-
toned authority that Henry L. Duffieid of
Detroit will be appointed Solicitor-General
OF the Department of Justice. Duffield is g
close friend of General Alger. If he is ap-
pointed John Sherman will have some
thing to say about his confirmation. Sher-
mans friends charge that Duffield, acting
for Alger, bought some of Sherman's South
ern delegates at the Chicago Convention
for Alger, and they claim to have the docu-
ments to prove it,

IDAHO.
Making All Her Preparations to Become
a State.

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-Delegate Du-
bois, of Idaho, says that Territory is max
ing ready to become State at the earliest
possible moment. One OF Governor Stein
sons last acts, before surrendering to Gov
ernor Shoup was to issue a proclamation
calling together Constitutional Conven-
ton to meet at Boise City July 4th. In No.
vember there will be an election to ratify
the Constitution and to elect full set OF
State and legislative officers, and in Decem-
Der the Constitution will be presented to
Congress. Idaho thus hopes to be crowned
with Statehood almost as soon as her next
door neighbors, Montana and Washington
Territories. Idaho is still debatable
ground politically, and the fights in July
and November will both be warm.

THE SAMOAN QUESTION.
The Warship Alert to Represent Uncle
Sam.

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-The State De-
partment confirms the report that there is
an agreement between Germany and the
United States that matters at Samoa shall
remain in stdtu gao pending the conference.
The British Government will doubtless
agree to this also. The United States YES
sci Alert, now at Honolulu, is to be ordered
to Samoa, and one small German vessel,
the Sophie, will also be sent, as will prob
ably the English vessel Calliope and no
others will be sent to these waters by any
of the three Powers until the conclusion OF
the conference. The German Minister held
an extended conference with Secretary
Blaine regarding the matter this morning.
WASHINGTON, April 10th.-Orders have
been issued to go ahead with the work OF
repairing the United States steamer Adams,
but in more leisurely manner. The or
