WASHINGTON, June S.-The President and
the Secretary Of the Treasury have com
menced considering internatreNenue az
pointments little sooner than was generaiiy
supposed here thst they would. However
some OF the more prominent treasury
Officials cay that il is not proposed 10 60 INTO
ANYTHING like a clean sweep until al'eT tus
close OF the present fiscal year. In most oil
the districts where appointments nave Deeu
made Democratic collectors foollshly un-
dcred their resignstions, thinking prooaoly
that ther would be removed speedily. VI
course where there IL a resignation penang
the congressman back OF the applicants press
matters 40 vigorously that the higher ollcl''
here can offer no good reasons FOR not put
ting in Republicans.
The appointments given 10 North Carolina
and Tennessee in the lnternal-reVenus ser
vice have been the means Of whetung tue
appetites OF the Virginia RepubllcanS' ana
the friends OF Colonel Pat McCaull especially
have been doing everything IN their power
TO strengthen his claims at the treasury De-
paItment. Congressman BOwden, VINO Is
still here. il doing all he can 10 help hcCaull'
and the Mahoneites generally are trying TO
secure the place for the Salem mas.
AwFUILY PUT OUT
They would be awiully put out should
either Colonel Jim Frazier or b. Is. Bolts ger
Captain Ham. Sheppard's place. Inc inter-
naI.reyenue amendments IN Virginia will
derend great deal on The showing
made before the President next Tuesday
by the Auti-MahOnc faction. u they make
anv sort OF decker by which the President
will give them equal recognition, they may
control one Of the large cOe3torships ana
the Malone wing will get the other. Ma
hone wants all or nothing, ana ms Is what
will give the President much trouble IN Ms
dealings with the two factions.
ADVISED TO CRUSH HIM.
Whilst il 4. undoubtedly true that Malone
has considerable outside Influence being
excrteG in his favor, there are many leading
Eepublicans here who are sdvising Presl-
dent Harrison 10 crush the Would-be
boss on the ground that the Republlcsn
partv IN Virginia would grow stronger
under the leadership OF the men VINO
are opposing Manone. II in the end Ma
hone IS recognized and given control abSo-
u,elv % the Virginia patronage II VIII mean
that even Congressman BOWden and Browne
will have 20 take back seat. RepuDlcsh
congressman in other states are beng recos-
nizrd, and it would Doe strange indeed
these two representatives should De willing
10 have man out ~ Office distributing
places IN Virginia Bowden claims 10 De-
sin yery friendly to Malone. but there arc
people here WHO declare that his loyalty Il
not as strong a. II was two years ago.
EXTRA SESSION TALK.
There has been lots Of extra session talk
here this week, aud the variety OF opinion
on the question has been remarkable. The
general impression is that there will be az
extra session Of Congress called to meet M
October. one very prominent RepuOhcan

correspondent that the date would be Oc'
tober l4th. Nearly all OF the candidates foi
Speaker OF the next House not only
want an extra session, but they have
been bringing AL their influence 10
bear on the question. They more Than
aav other persons have been Working up the
sentiment Ncssrs. Reed, Cannon, Bur
rows, Mckinley, and Henderson (of Iowa
want Congress to get 10 work IN October.
one OF the members named said the other
dsv. 81 think there will surely be an extra
session. unless il is found that several q the
Republican members are too ill TO attend.
our majority is so slender that we cannot
do ANYTHING if three OF four o. our side
should BE- sick and unable TO attend.

bad WAY. Mr.. Laird, OF Nebraska, has been

Hncer along and be IN no condition 70 attend
should Congress meet in October. Mr.
Darlington, q Pennsylvania, met with a
severe accident lew DAYS ago, which IL
likely 10 las him up Tor many months. Judge
