WASHINGTON, March 3O.-Before their
own demands We're needed, telegraphed
YOU on Wednesday night that Senator Stan
ford was nusbing Mr.. Misener for the Cen
trail American mission with fairly good
PROSPECTS of success. l said then, as have
repeatedlv said. that nothing could be done
with the local offices until some disposition
had been made of Mr.. Misener. The publ
cations have had the effect Of deluging the
delegation with angry protests for their
sIowness in the matter, and it was this
hullabaloo at home which accounted for the
feverish haste of the delegation to provide
forS 8lr NIisener as quick as possible.
THE LONG PROMISED SLATE
for the custom house, postoffice and mint
will now be sent the President at once. The
indications at this writing are that it will
stand as follows: Phelps, collector OF Gus
toms; Chamberlain, postmaster; Dlmond,
mint; DanfOrth, naval Office.
/. 3. Misener of California was yester
day nominated as minister to the Central
American states. Mr.. Misener Is a for
tunate man. He has been given one OF the
best of the second class missions within the
gift of the President. The salary is $4,000
year. He will be located in the quaint old
Spanish city of Guatemala, and his position,
by virtue of the relation
BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES,
will be more dignified and influential than
that of any other of the foreign repre-
sentatives there. But it is not alone in
this respect that Mr.. Misener is fortunate.
He Unfortunate in having so strong grip
on California politics that of all the expect
ant patriots at home his claims We're the
first to be considered, and everybody else
Phelps, Dimond, Chamberlain, Danforth,
were obliged to take back seat, so to
speak, and await the appointment of Mr..
Miseuer and Garter well in the advance for
the district attorneyship. Had Mr. Misener
failed to 20 abroad, he would have been
given the mint This would have thrown
General Dimond into the postofice and
Colonel Chamberlain would have been left
out in the cold. What effect
Mr.. MIsENER's NOMINATION
will have upon Mr.. Osborue's chances for
the office Of public printer, cannot be stated.
Up to the present time he has occupied an
excellent position in the race. With the
exception Of one or two candidates, none Of
the others have been so well endorsed or
have made so favorable an impression at
the White House as the quiet and gentle
rNanly applicant from southern California.
Everybody likes him. everybody has good
word for him. / have yet to hear a single
person speak i'll of him: even the strong
partisaus of the other candidates feel an in
terest in him and have frequently expressed
the wish that there were two public printing
offices. in order that Mr.. Osborne might
have one. 1t is obvious that the Presidents
action yesterday in sending Mr.. Misener
abroad has greatly encouraged
Mr. OsBoRNE's OPPONENTS,
who regard it as unlikely that three offices
so important as the missions to Japan and
Central America and the government
partnership will be given to California.
Their satisfaction over the situation Is the
best evidence that they regard Mr.. Oborne
as a dangerous competitor, and the latter
himself is trifle discouraged over the out
look. Those who are on the inside, how
ever. say that there is no reason for dis
COuragement in The matter, and Mr.. OS-
borne will vet, in all probability, secure the
place.
1t is reported tonight that no nominations
viii be made for surYeyOr-general or mar
shall of the northern district until the terms
of the present incumbents have expired.
The California delegation, it is under
stood. have agreed to recommend Mr.. Is
tees appointment as one of the ten com
missioners to represent the United States
at the forthcoming congress OF the three
republics.
Editor and Mrs. De Young, Of San Fran !
cisco, who are in the city, spent the even
ing at the White House with President and
Mrs Harrison. Mr.. John f. Swift will, |
unless unexpectedly detained, leave for San
Francisco tonight.
