WASHINGTON, D. c., April 12.-
The friends OF Mr.. John G.. Smith, OF
Wilmington. Ohio. were claiming with
great confidence to-day that the Presl-
dent would soon appoint that gentleman
Commissioner Of internal Revenue. A
report n this effect found its way into
the PAPERS here this afternoon, and
caused the friends OF Col. Joe. Miller
good deal Of uneasiness until they
learned that In all probability the ru-
NOR had no more foundation than many
others OF a similar nature that have
been put out from time to time. The
West Virginia senators are entirely con-
fdent that when the time comes the In
ternal Revenue Commissionership Will
20 20 the West Virginia candidate.

watching the contest for the Judge
sbips OF the District Of Columbia Appel

name sent In for Chief Justiceship OF
the Court by the President tomorrow
or next day. The Senator himself does
not appear 70 be taking much interest

points him il will be altogether due to
the manner in which the Senator's
friends in the District Of Columbia have
urged his name.
