BOUNDED TO DEATH.
President Harrison's Troubles are
Making Him Strong.
PERSISTENCE INDEED A JEWEL.
Patrick Egan's Friends and the New Workers
are the Chief Aggravators- California
Sorely Disappointed.

| Especial to THB HBRALD-Examiner Dispatch
! WASHINGTON, March 81. b. Misner
returned to California tonight, satisfied
mission were fruitless.
Patrick Egan's friends still stoutly asserts
that he will secure the place, but in any
event it will not be given to California.
The California delegation are now in posi-
ton to prepare their slate for the federal
officials in San Francisco and elsewhere
throughout the state without any more de-
| lay than would naturally arise from so
great a conflict of personal interest.
Mr.. Misner, it is said, will be consoled
for his failure to secure the Mexican mis-
sion by an appointment as superintendent
of the mint Timothy Gay Phelps, it is
thought, will receive the delegation endorse
ment for the cOllectorship of the port.
THB1 WILL FIX 1T UP.
General w. H. Dimond has telegraphed
his friends in this city that failing to secure
the superintendency of the mint, he will
compromise on the postoffice.
1t is also regarded as probable that E. P.
Danford, of San Francisco, will be given
the naval Office.
Mr.. Morrow is anxious to secure his ap-
pointment and it is believed that compro-
mise has been reached between him and
General Vandeveer in this matter, whereby
MIR. Paris Kilbourne of the city of Salinas
will be endorsed for the rveyor-general-
ship, leaving Mr.. Danford in the lead for
the naval office.
The district attorneyship has practically
narrowed down to G. A. Garter of Red
Bluff and John Llerdlove of San Fran
cisco.
For coIectorship of internal revenue,
General Sheehan of San Francisco, and f.
c. Frank of San Jose are the most promis
ing candidates.
When the delegation will meet again has
not vet been determined but it will proba-
bly, be within a day or two. If anything
like united action is had something definite
regarding the disposition of the California
patronage ought to be known when they
adjourn.
NEW YORK WORRIES HIM
Editor Osborn of Los Angeles occupied
an excellent position in the contest for the
Office of public printer. President Harri-
son said to-day, when some of the Brook
Ign people were urging the appointment Of
Louis Payne of that city upon him, that it
was his intention to select the incumbent
of this office from the west. President
Harrison added that he is having more diff
Guilty over this Office than any which he has
thus far attempted to fill.
The truth is, none OF the applicants come
up to the standard of excellence which Pres
ident Harrison prescribes for the place.
The men who ill the measure of his eXpec-
tation, however, would not accept the place
for the salary paid. 1t is probable, there
fore, that the president will have to be sat
istied with one of the present applicants.
Should he do so, Mr.. Osborne's chances
may be regarded as excellent.
The President has made a number of in
quires regarding him, and the information
he has received is Of a nature highly flat
tering to theLos Angeles man.
IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.
Charles P. Leary, of San Francisco, is
one of the late arrivals in the city. Mr..
Leary would like to be restored to his old
position Of appraiser at the San Francisco
custom house. Ex-Representative Peaches
has applied for the mission to any one OF
the Spanish American republics. He has
