not of each branch Of the Legislature OF that
State. The latter is COL 6dent that he Will
be admitted; lhs former says be thinks

not meet sgaiD until April 10 that year.
II 10 the prevalent belief here that while
the President would Ike very much 10 get
rid OF Mr.. Roose velt, ofthe civil service ccm-
m s,ion. In accordance With tie recomends'
ton of the report Postmaster General Wan-
smak r hsd prepared, he da'e OF d it iest

Az Governor Flower. of New YORK, will

There is no appreciable change In the
Spesksrship situation here to-day, with per-
haps the single exception that the friends OF

supposed to rossese. Among those who
called at his headquarters this morning were
Congreseman Wise OF Virginia and the ed
itor of the Landmarks Of Norfolk, In the came
State. The respective friends of Messrs.

their fa7orite will be elected, and the Nc
Mlllin men are waiting FIR lock. But HIT

Farmers Alliance men Ia the Houee who
