Delegation Now at the Capital.
Hosr's Fight on Roach.
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Ths President
played to a crowded house to-day. To
some it was comedy aud to others it was
tragedy. The opinion is that no more Geor-
gia nominations will be made for some time
TO come. This is cold comfort for the con-
tingent who are helping pay the rent of
Landlord Seldin's hotel, but it is Just that
way. The Senate sat about one hour to~
day, most Of the time In executive session.
In open session Senator Hoar of Massaohu-
sets presented a resolution looking to the
investigation Of the character of the
new senator, Mr.. Roach of North Da-
kots. Mr. Roach is a fusion product,
although a democrat in politics. He used
to live here. Some fifteen years ago his
mother kept a boarding house In this city
and young Roach, who was quite a dude,
contracted marriage with the daughter Of
awealthy German physician. DR. Leiber-
man. DR.. Leiberman was director of the
OltlEbuS NhblOuhA DhuA VI w hbnlukkOus
and through his influence young
Roach was made cashier of the concern.
The story was that after a while the son-in-
law defaulted for $4,000 and DR.. Leiber-
man had to make the amount good.
The loss iucensed the old
doctor and he drove his SON
in-law away. He drifted to Dakota. and
An the divide North Dakota won his citizen
ship and made him a senator. This story,
hot Con Tor lDeva
wants the dear public to know about.
GEoRGIA's CONTINGENT.
Col. Renfroe and Pod Dismuke are still
hustling for the marshalship of the North
ern district.
Frank Flynt Of Griffin, who is supposed
to be one OF Col. Renfroe's supporters, aD-
peared here day or two ago and got down
actively 90 work, but Mr.. Dismuke seems
to have won his fight early and all the
efforts of the opposition to run him TO cover
have 80 far proved futile.
District Attorney Joe James still fingers
here He has agreed with the President
that Mr.. Rucker is entitled to some recog-
milton and the place of assistant district
attorney will be rendered to him. This
office is worth IS, 600 per Rnnum and that
sum will enable BIr. Rucker to carry out a
cherished desire to move to Atlanta.
The applicants for consulships may
have show next week. They are the
worse hacked looking of any Of the colonies.
Some Of them have been here for many
weary weeks and nearly all
have been here since Inauguration
day. 1t is hinted that Secretary Gresham
will go in aad deaden lot of consular tins
Der very soon, regardless Of commissions
aud their dates.
MAY BE PROMOTED.
e. J. Renick. clerk in the treasury de-
partment, Virginian by birth, but once a
citizen of Atlanta, is prominently men
toned in connection with the office of Third
Assistant Secretary OF State, the position
Frank Jordon aspires TO.
Wallborn Colquitt accompanied by Rep
resentative Russell, filed his application to-
day for collector of internal revenue for
Georgia. 1t was a voluminous package
bound in book form and embraced many
hundred names The clerks in the appoint
ment room of the treasury complimented
Mr.. Colquitt on his good taste in preparing
his document.
There is talk about primaries for marshal
collector and all other offices remaining un-
filled in Georgia, including all the post
offices. This s the natural sequence of the
movement in Atlanta to choose postmaster
by primary election.
1t is understood that Candidate Couper OF
Atlanta, who wants the postoffice, won't
agree to the suggestion. He has pull, and
the primary has no fasclnstions for him.
