WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-1he California
Associated Press correspondent learns that
President Harrison and Cabinet to-day
agreed upon Ex-Governor Pacheco of Cali
fornia to succeed Miner as our Minister to
Central America. Stanford pressed him
hard Tor the position, and as other members
OF the California delegation made no rec
concentrations the President and Blaine
this morning decided upon Pacheco. The
fact that Pacheco speaks the Spanish Ian
guage strongly Influenced the President and
Blaine in his favor, besides both the Pres-
dent and Sc cretary Blaine felt that Califor-
MAS loyalty to the Administration should
be recognized by some mark of appreciation.
AT Cabinet meeting held this afternoon
Pacheco's selection was announced, and as
no objections were raised by any Of the
Cabinet it was agreed to make the appoint
rlent at once. 1t was expected this would
be done this afternoon, but il was tco late
to send his name to the Senate when the
Cabinet meeting broke up. The appoint
ment will probably be made out and sent to
the Senate tomorrow.
MORROW TO SUCCEED JUDGE SAWYER
The correspondent of tie California Asso-
ciated Press has another GOOD piece Of news
tonight. There has been a good deal of
speculation rife Of late as to what Repre-
sentative Morrow had his eye ON. Many of
his friends have believed that lie would
rather practice law in San Francisco for
about four years, and at the end of that time
cast his fate in the California State
political lottery, but the correspondent
hears to- night on first class authority
that Judge Sawyer will retire from the
California Circuit Judgeship next spring,
and that Morrow would like to succeed him.
Judge Sawyer was here during the sum-
mer and stopped at the Richmond Hotel,
where Morrow makes his home while here
They are fast friends, and it is believed that
Judge Sawyer would like for Morrow to be
his successor. Stanford and Morrow have
called pretty frequently on President Har-
risOn during the past.few days, which lends
probability to the story. Morrow's friend,
Estee, is here, too, and lie and Blaine are
quite intimate. President Harrison enter
tans nigh opinion of Morrow. and it need
not surprise CalifornianS II he is appointed.
The New York Herald correspondent in
teryiewed Stanford tonight on his Presden-
tial candidacy. Stanford said 10 him, enl-
phatically, that he WAS not candidate and
ulu not want the nomination.
SILVER MEN CONFIDENT.
Senator Stewart believes that the silver
Z men Will be successful in getting good bill
through this session. To the California As
soclated Press reporter he said night:
=" The effect of my bill in connection with
the present law would be to make it an un-
limited market for all the silver offered not
above par in gold and the issuance of legal
tender Treasury notes in payment thereof,
redeemable III coin. This would enable the
owner OF silver bullion to obtain at the
mint either gold or silver coin or legal
tender paper at his option. The continu-
ance of the coinage Of at least 2000, 600
ounces of silver per month would make il
certain that there would always be enough
OF silver coin on hand for purposes of re-
demption.
ILLEGAL TIMBER CUTTING.
Special Agent Caldwell of the Land De.
partment, who was ordered to make an in
vestigatlon of the charge that the "kaweah
Nationalist Colony in the Visaiia Lani
District, Cal, has been illegally cutting tim
ber within the reservation set aside by the
government as national park, has made
his report, but 1t Is not for the public yet
Some lime ago the cOlonlSts made applica-
ton for homestead entries, but which they
were not able to complete ana now cannot
do so, as the Government has in the mean
time Withdrawn these lands from entry by
the act of October l.. 1890, creating ma
tlonal park. The co,onists maintain that
they have equities and fatty refuse to desist
from cutting timber. The matter will prob
ably have to be settled in the courts, and the
Supreme Court OF the United States will
probably be appealed to.
