FEDERAL ALPATR0NAGE
NO PLANS YET Foa RECOMMENDING
PERSONS FOR POSITIONS.
How the virginia Delegation stood In
1885 and How IL Stands Now-Desth
Of General John c. Gormao.
From Our Regular correspondent.l

IFrOm Our Regular rtOtrsrpOuucu"I
wAsHrSGroS. December N.-The Vir-
ginia delegation in Congress up TO the
time they loft here TO spend the holidays
at their respective homes had not held
any conferences with regard to plans for
recommending persons for the larger posi-
tions under the incoming administration.
or as TO how certain appointments in
the State viii be apportioDed among
the several districts. In 1885 tho
Democratic party had no senators
from Virginia. as Malone and Riddle
berger were then occupying seats IN the
upper branch Of Congress. there we're
then ONLY eight Democratic representa-
tlves out Of ten. Now the Democrats have
all ten representatives and two United
States senators. and the arrangement 20 be
made with regard TO patronage Will have
to bea somewhat different one from that
of 1885.
THE FIRST wHAck AT THEM
Virginia really got the first chance at
the post-ofiice IN 1855. TINS favor was
granted the State then because Malone
had been in power and the Democratic adj
mlnistration here, or rather long before
MIR. Cleveland took his scat. decided
to give the Virginia congressman
chance TO whack of heads from
the very start. Colonel 0Ferrall hap
pened then to have all hls recommends
tons ready. aud he was the first one TO get
his work IN SO tar as wholesale removal
of pOstmasters was concerned. MIR. wise
did not have SO large number OF post,
Offices in his district, as Richmond ana
Manchester include such q large part
of mis- district. MIR. Barbour was then in
the House, and he bad lively time, too,
getting III Democrats.
TO AWAIT HER TURN.
II seems that when the Virginia delega-
tion called on Mr. Cleveland in January.
1885, 10 recommend the selection Of the
late Hon. John 8. Barbour as Postmaster
General It WAS then and there suggested
that Virginia ought 10 be given an early
chance TO turn out Mahone's postmasters,
and the order was given. IL Is not ex-
pectel that next spring Virginia will be
| gwen this preference. The conditions
have somewhat changed aud the proba-
| billtles are Virginia will have next time 10
| take her turn with the rest of the States.
The Virginia delegation will be ready,
| however. and her Democratic representa-
| tlves are already preparing to be ready
when the next Democratic Postmaster
General gives the word.
GENERAL GoRMAN DEAD.

M,AULIFFE AND BURGE.
They VIII Not Fight, as Anticipated-Ne-
gotiatIons Declared OF.
nav telegraph 70 the Dispatch. J

Erw YORK, December 27.-There will be
no fight between Jack hcAulltie and DICK
Burge for the lightweight Championship ot
the world as contemplated by sporting
men. Judge Newton. of the Coney Island
Athletic Club, which organization en-;
deavored 90 arrange the match and
offered tho extraordinary purse OF Sio,OUO
for the contract, IS responsible tor the
unexpected turn Of affairs. The Judge to-
night announced 20 the representatives, OF
both the principals that the COney-lsland
Club would withdraw the purse and de-
clare the match OF. The only explanation
of Newton's action Is that his patience and
that of the other officials of the club had
become exhausted and they had determined
that if the men did not agree to-day they
would stop the negotiations.
Referee Hardt and Judge Newton went
10 The Stuyyesant House early this morn
inc for the purpose of having the men set
tie their differences and securing their
signatures TO articles of agreement. They
saw both Jack Haggerty and Ben Benton,
who came here to represent Burgess
interest, but their demands did
not in the least coincide with the
views of the seaside people. They
still stuck TO their arguments of the pre-
vIous dag that McAulitfe's demand to have
botn men deposit forfeit OF SiO,OyO TO
guarantee their appearance IN the ring.
and TO weigh in at l35 pounds the night OF
the fight, was absurd, and refused under
an, circumstances TO sign with those stlpu-
latlons. Newton then called upon McAu-
life and told him that II he was auX. ous TO
6pbt he should waive the rl0, 600 and agree
10 -. 900. McAuife refused TO agree To
smaller sum than the one proposed. lie
sald ne mad agreed 10 foregO the clause in
the articles which he signed that the men
weigh in at 1873 pounds, give or take two
pounds. and 10 fight at lJj pounds fiat; 4;
but as regards the $4,000, McAullHe IN
sisted that that must stand. Judge New
ton then declared the negotiations at an
end,

fBy Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
LONDON, December 27.-The official part
of this city is in the grip Of wholesome
dynamite scare. From the Bank of Eng
land TO the Houses Of Parliament all the
public buildings and great financial insti-
tutions have received extraordinary pro-
lection ever since the news of the Dublin
explosion was received. The Treasury,
In which are tho offices OF the
Prime Minister, the Prlvy Council,
and the Board of Trade Is doubly
guarded day and night. Detectives in
citizens clothes swarm in the corridors
while the offices are open, and 1t ls Impos-
sible for a stranger 10 take three steps IN
any direction without being questioned as
to his business. Any man who does not
NJ once identify himself "a person OF
high standing or as the bearer OF othclal
messages Is conducted TO the street, where
he is cross-examIned before being allowed
TO 90 his way. Mr.. Gladstone'5 ottlclal
residence, No. 10 Downing street, Is encir-
cled by detectives az oil hours.
All Downing street, in fact, Is under the
strictest surveillance, ant not man OF
doubtful appearance can walk 1t without
being shadowed its whole length by a de-
tective. In and around the new post-ohlce
aud the Parliament buildings the beats OF
all uniformed patrols have been shortened
and additional men have been detailed.
Even at the British Museum the visitors
are watched with exceptional care.
Yesterday afternoon a young American
tourist with a small black satchel was
stopped al tho entrance of the library
although he had shown his special card Of
admission. He was detained by the door
keeper until a policeman came, took
charge of him. aud required him,
politely but firmly to open hls
satchel. The American resented this
interference and refused at first to
show the contents of the handbag.
Eventually, to avoid further annoyance,
he opened it and revealed his luncheon
rolled in napkin. He was then allowed
TO enter after the policeman had explained
that he was justified in hls strictness 10y

tion of public buildings.

commander-in-chief Through the changes

the Omaha platform are eligible to mem-
bership.
These changes being made, General YAM
deryoort signified his acceptance IN

Industrial Legion were set forth IN detail.
Tomorrow the organizers for the various
