NO APPOINTMENT YET.
The Successful Ninth District Judge i,
Still Unnamed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-There was
about $4,000 spent in telegraph tolls
when Judge Hanford was appointed
United States district judge of Washing
ton. Now that there is prospect that
Hanford may be appointed circuit judge
and another vacancy created for the dis
trict judgeship, it seems that there is a
struggle for this place which is not yet
vacant. The Washington senators,
when they went to the president with
the final proposition for the appoint
ment of w. Lair Hill stated that in case
it was not the intention TO appoint him
that they would like to name second
choice. The president told them signifi-
cantly that it would do no harm to pre-
sent another name, and Judge landlord
was recommended, with the further pro-
vision that IN case he was promoted,
Judge Pritchard, of Tacoma, should be
his successor. This has-n proved al
together satisfactory, because there are
numbe of men who think they ought
to be landlords successor if he is ap-
pointed. Among these are United
States District Attorney Winston, who
I is now in Washington, and Sam Hyde.
Both of these gentlemen are from
Spokane, and only one can be appointed,
even if vacancy should occur. Besides
neither can now secure the recommends
tion of the senators, because they are on
record for Pritchard. The Oregon dele
CATION stand by Simon, and have not
changed one iota. They once having
agreed upon him, they teke no back talk
and do not consider any other man. 1t
Is either Simon or no Oregon man.

SANTIAGO, Chill, Jan. 25.-The excite
ment over the embroglio with the United
States is growing rapidly. The Valpa-
raiso incident is the prevailing topic of
conversation, and the probable results
of a war are eagerly discussed. While
il cannot be said the excitement has
reached the stage known as ''war fever
yet the natural martial instincts OF the
Chilian people are greatly aroused. 1t
was definitely ascertained today that
Senior Perreira, the Chiliau minister of
foreign affairs, has sent United States
Minister Egan a formal notification that
the Chilian government will reply to-
morrow to the note containing the
ultimatum of the Uniteds States govern
ment. 1t is also learned that the Brit
ish minister to Chill has received in
structions from his government to offer
the services of his government as medi-
ator to prevent war between Chill and
the United States.

A Good word for Egan.

New YoRK, Jan. 23.-A Washington
dispatch quotes Assistant Secretary OF
State Adee, in speaking of Minister
Egan, as saying:
Mr., Egan's course has been one only
to merit praise. / consider Egan one of
the best ministers we have had in the
service. Throughout this case he has
acted in a most statesmanlike manner.
The publication of the correspondence
will show that the dispatch, in which
Malta accused Egan of virulent Ian
guage, is as far from that characteristic
as it possibly can be.

More serious rhan Ever.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-The Times Wash

more serious danger of trouble with
Chill than at any previous time is con-
ceded by those who hold the machir cry
of war or peace. This afternoon the
president met Mr.. Tracy, Commodore
Folger, of the naval ordinance depart
ment, and Commodore Ramsay at the
Office of Secretary Tracy. They had a
conference of two hours. One serious
indication of trouble is that high officials
are beginning to tell the truth to the
few PEOPLE whom they know well.''

SO Reward for Garza.

LAREDO, Tex, Jan. 24.-Mexican
Consul Diaz said this afternoon that
his government has offered no reward
for Cara, but would doubtless take
hand should he be captured and put
him on trial. Then the principal
charge against him would be treason.
The report that if captured by the
United States authorities he would be
at once extradited is erroneous, as he
must first be tried in the United States
for violation of the neutrality laws.
After his trial on such charge will be
time enough to talk about extradition.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The course of
proceedings in congress during the week
depends largely upon the manner in
which the presidents message and the

probability however is strongly against
the matter being precipitately taken up
for consideration by either branch of
congress, or any discussion on the sub

doubtless be followed by referring the

According to private correspondence
from Berlin, Prince Bismarck has been
considerably troubled of late by the effect
of the bullet wound he received so many
wears ago from the revolver Of would
be assassin. Many people have forgotten
even the circumstance that the great
German chancellor was so murtierously
attacked by the youth Blind. but as
matter of fact five shots were discharged
at him, and it was simply owing TO the
sturdy way in which he grasped his as
sailant arm that only one Of them took
effect. This bullet glanced OFF one of the
chancellor's lower ribs. and bony ex-
cresence which developed in consequence
still marks the place.
As it turned out, too, Bismarck's risk
was by no means at an end when he
grapplej with and seized his aSsailant. A
military guard hurried up on hearing the
chanceilor's shouts, and the impulse of
the foremost of these stalwart Prlssian
grenadiers, on seeing comparatively
feeble stripping being held and seemingly
maltreated by ponderous man with a
bald head-for Bismarck's hat had fallen
off-was to club his rife and bring it
down on the latter's bare pate. Luckily
for Germany, however, the chancellor
waried off his impending fate by shout
ing out, ..Hold on; am Bismarck! on
which. as the latter himself tells the
story, the soldier dropped his weapon IN
much greater fright than that of his
escaped victim-London Figaro
