WARRINGTON CIrY, April 25.-[Special.1
Hugh Wallace, of Tacoma, Democratic
national committeeman from Washington
state, has been here for more than . week,
and during this time has probably en-
deavored to find out what course this ad-
ministration is going to pursue with refer
ence to the distribution of Democratic
patronage in that state. It 10 uncertain
yet whether Mr.. Wallace has received any
information that Is entirely satisfactory to
him on this point, but the opinion here
seems to be that 70 far a. he is personally
concerned he will have some influence at
It is not believed that the president
will recognize the Democratic state
committee in Washington or the faction
opposing it. He may decide to take
polite course. and. in many instances, re-
fuse to recognize recommendations of
either faction. In this event it il more
than probable that National Committee
man Wallace will be consulted and that
his recommendations will be followed
more than those of any other man or set
of men in that state. As has been pointed
out frequently in Washington City dis
patches to the Posr-INTELLIGENcER,t there
is no likelihood that Mr.. Cleveland will
decide to make any sweeping changes
In the Washington state offices for the
present, at any rate. 1t 10 believed that,
as rule, the present Republican incum-
bents against whom there are no charges
whatever will be allowed to serve out
their terms. This rule will prevail, at any
rate, 20 far as land Offices are concerned,
and, further than this, no presi-
Dental postmasters will be removed
until they have served out their terms,
dating from the time their appointments
were sent to the senate, and not from the
time they were confirmed or commits
stoned. There may be some difference in
the presidents ruling, 90 far a. the ap-
pointments of the collectors Of customs
and collectors of internal revenue and
other officials under the treasury wing of
the government service are concerned. 1t
is not at all improbable that Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General Maxwell will
get around to Washington state in the
near future and fill any existing vacancies
in fourth-class postoffices, and, in addi.
ton to this. there may bs the usual num-
ber of removals. 1t is not certain yet
whether National Committeeman Wallace
desires any Office himself, but the
opinion is still held here that should
he ask for something that the
president believes he can fill acceptably
that he may be appointed to some good
place. 1t is said that Mr.. Cleveland il
greatly impressed with young Mr. Wallace.
and. having heard of the prophesies he
d. <0 <hA Al %laS
Western states would 60 Democratic, 10
inclined to look upon him with more favor
than it would naturally be expected that
he would with so young man. Mr..
Cleveland, however, seems to be imbued
with the idea that the young men in the
Democratic party should be given an op-
portunity, and, for this reason, has ap-
pointed a good many of them to important
places under him and may. if he follows
his own inclinations, give Mr.. Wallace
something nice in the near future.
The Chilean incident is closed and Min
lister Egan is coming home. The state de-
partment rebuked him for his action in
sheltering the refugees. Feuntes and Holly,
and the Chileans are incensed with him
because Of his alleged connivance at their
escape when instructed to harbor them in
the legation no longer. He gave them
asylum as political refugees, but was in
formed by the department that
they were not entitled to protection
on that ground. When ne turned them out
in obenlence to the instructions, Holly es.
capped, but Feuntes was Captured by the
guards that surrounded the legation.
Judge Porter, who succeeds Mr.. Egan a.
minister to Chile, will start for Santiago
on May 20, but Mr.. Egan, it is said, will
not await his arrival, but will start for
home in few days, leaving Consul Nc.
Creery in charge of the legation.
President Cleveland will be absent from
Washington City six days in connection
with the ceremonies attending the naval
review at New York and the opening of
the Columbian exposition at Chicago. He
leaves for New York tomorrow afternoon,
and makes the trip to Chicago before re-
reach Chicago on Friday at noon. and
reach Washington City again on Tuesday
evening.
The president has decided not to accept
the designations Of delegates to the inter-
national monetary conference The com.
mission will therefore remain unchanged
unless some members decline to serve. A
conference will meet on May 80 and the
question of further postponement will rest
entirely with its members.

disbursing officer Of the weather bureau.
