NOT UNTIL DECEMBER.

The President Will Not Appoint the Nine
New Circuit Court Judges Until Decem-
ber-Only Men of Highest Legal Ability
to be Chosen.
WASHINGTON, June l.-President
Harrison has finally determined not to
appoint the nine new circuit court
Judges until next December. lie says
no member has yet been selected.
Political belief, it is understood, will
not be the dominant requisite for ap-
pointment to these positions. 1t is the
intention of the president to select men
for these places of the very highest
legal ability, and with the view of OBJ
tanning such talent the legal work OF
candidates will be carefully scrutin-
lied, and wherever it is possi-
able their briefs and printed
arguments before their respective SUI
preme courts will be secured and sub
jected to examination. The ability and
legal acumen expressed IN these docu-
ment will, therefore, have much
weight in assisting the president in
reaching his conclusions. This is taken
as an indication that, perhaps, there
may be democrat appointed in one OF
the southern circuits. The appoint
ments Of the five land court judges is
| looked for confidently this week.

is only the second. His mother exam

WASHINGTON, May S1.-No advices
from the Charleston were received at
the navy department yesterday, and she
is probably still at Callao, coaling. No
information can be obtained at the de-
partment as to what instructions have
been sent her. but the opinion is that
she has received orders to discontinue
her efforts TO capture the Itata, and il
is believed that an arrangement for the
peaceful surrender of the ltata has been
made. and that she will be turned over
to this government for trial. The
Charleston should have finished coaling
yesterday and, if her machinery is in
order, proceeded on her voyage, but to
what point cannot bs learned here.
