A LIMITED NUMBER.
PRESIDENT HARRISON SHUTS DOWN
ON THE CALLERS.
Determined 10 start the Legislative MIL
i'm Extra Session-Virginia APP
pointments-Post-Off iees.
From Our Regular corre.pondentl

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 10.-The wea-
ther was so hot and depressing to-day that
President Harrison shut down on the
callers and consented to receive only a
limited number Of people. One Of the call
ers was General Thomas Browne, OF lndi-
ana, who has been so much exercised on
the question Of holding an extra session
Of Congress. He has been doing
everything IN his power to persuade
the President from bringing the statesmen
together in the fall, but the latest talk is
that General Harrison is bent on starting
the legislative mill carly in NOvemb Der,
since il is the opinion Of the Republican
leaders that ii would be a very risky thing
10 have Congress get together in October,
owing 10 the slender Republican majority
in the House. General Browne Is greatly
disconnected over what President Harrison
said to Senator Washburn just before the
latter's departure tor Europe.
NAHoNE's CONFERENCE.
Reports from Mahones conference in
Petersburg have been read with conside-
rable interest here, but few people believe
that the boss will accede TO the wishes Of
his henchmen and make the race for Gov
ernor himself. rs that would place Malone
in q position 10 get a severe drubblng at
the polls In November.
MahOnes refusal tOrecOguiZe the " kick
ersN is strictly in keeping with the prcdic-
tiOns that have been made here for several
months by his closest followers. They
have contended right along that Malone
would pay no attention 10 the kickers,'
and if the latter have half the spunk they
claim the fight Will have 10 be kent up.
VIRGINIA APPOINTMENTS.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable the policy OF the Administration
Will be. shut down ON giving appoint
ments IN Virginia until after tho Republi-
can State ticket is placed in the field"
Then it is understood that the two collcc-
tors Of internal revenue will be appoint
Cd. As matters now stand II is sand that
Secretary Window iavors the appointment
Of the Malone candidate III the Lynchburg
district-whch, Of course. means Pat. Nc
Caull, Of Salem and Of cX-Coneressman
Brady in the Petersburg Richmond dis
trict. il this should be doue-that Is, If
Brady should get the Oliice-it would be
bitter dose TO Malone. He would
rather almost any other man than Colonel
Brady should have that plum. But Colo
mel Brady is the member Of the National
Republican Committee for virginia, and
this is point that the Administration can
not well overlook. he Was elected 40 CHI
cagO last year fairly and squarely IN con-
test in which Malone was completely
knocked out. Colonel Brady and John
Wise did up the would-bc boss badly 90
Chicago, and 10 then looked ms if they had
completely squelched him. However. he
b0bbed up serenely again after the election
of General Harrison as President.
