the interest of constituents. The men,
bers, however. have had little opportunity
this week to confer with the heads of de-
partmcnts on account Of the financial
situation, which has almost constantly
required the attention of the Cabinet.
The situation has also had tendency TO
deiay appointments. 1t is we'll known that
the President has had on his table tor con-
sidcration many papers relating TO COL
lect 'rs of internal revenue. but he mani
fests no disposition to dispose OF them as
long as there is so much contention in the
public prints and among the commercial
and banking institutions over the neces-
sity of doing something that will relieve
the uncertainty existing In the money
markets.
OF course this IS Disappointing to the
gentlemen whose hopes are centered on
securing the larger Federal positions. but
just now the only thing for them to do is
to fold their arms and await the pleasure
OF the Executive.
Several of the Virginia congressman
tried both yesterday and to-day to have
audiences with Mr.. Cleveland, but he was
too busy to ses any one. They Will have
an opportunity tomorrow or the next day
In all probability to confer with him.
vIRorNIANs WERE APPLICANTS.
The Secretary OF the Treasury to-day
announced the appointment of Gland Nj.
Johnson. of Frankfort. KY, as Chief of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
He also appointed q Kentuckian chief or
custodian of the division In which the
plates and dies are kept. Virginians were
applicants for both of these positions.
Louisiana received the bulk of the ap-
poiptments announced by the President
TO-DAY. and the outcome for that State has
decided interest to some Virginia appli-
cants for the reason that louisiana. like
Virginia. had "slate" which was Or
ranged by the congressional delegation,
Senators and Representatives all uniting
in their recommendations. The conse-
quence was that the President had TO con-
front no pulling or hauling by different
members of the delegation. They were
absolutely united and all worked together.
Around the public lobby of the Metro
politen Hotel thus afternoon, where so
many Virglnlons daily congregate to dis
cuss current events, there was consider
able comment on the success of the
Louisiana delegation in securing what
they asked for, and Representative
Robertson. of the Pelican State, explained
TO several gentlemen how easily his dele
CATION had accomplished their objects by
standing solidly together.
NO CHANCE FOR A HEARING.
Representative Alexander. of North
Carolina, was q caller q. several Of the de-
partments to-day, but ne says there is lit
tie or no chance at present to get q hear
| ing.
Representative Tucker and Major
Holmes conrad cahed together this morn
ing at the State Deph,tment. Mr.. Tucker
Is very anxious to prOesre consular an,
pointment iEr h's oislrlVe and If no sue
snedtar IT Ma1sba M TH' Hanasr s giysn to E1
who wants to be assigned to tBermuds
Islands.
| A GOOD SELECTION.
The President to-day made O select. /,
for Register of the Treasury, and as this II
position for which several Nirginlans ap-
Piled it will be of interest in the state &c
note the fact that, contrary to the general
go to an ex-army officer, but has beer
given TO Mr. James Z. Iillman, o
Tennessee, a gentleman Of much ablli'
ty, fine social qualities, and hand
some personal appearance, and VINO ha'
been most prominently identlhed with th'
National Farmers Alliance. Indeed, he Is
one of the managers and owners OF th'
National Economist, published here as the
organ Of tho National Alliance and In
dustrial Union. Mr.. Tllman is quite wei
known III Virginia, as he has been tre
ouent visitor in the State. His appoint
ment will probably be u surprise.
Friends of Colonel l.. w. Reid, of Alex
andria, will doubtless renew their ofort'
to have him reappointed to his old POSI-
ton of Deputy Register of the Treasury
from which he was removed by President
Harrison Colonel Reid has strong inhu
ences at his back, and appears TO have
reasonable show of success, unless the
lex" rule should beIworked against him
| ALMosr POSITIVE,
Captain Ham Shepperd came in from
Warrenton to-day, and his friends still as
sert with degree of positlvepess that ht
will be appointed Collector of lnterna
Revenue for the Western District of Vir
ginia.
Representative Tyler is pressing will
all the vigor possible the claims OF hl'
constituents who are applicants for posi-
tlons at the Norfolk navy-yard. Secretary
| Herbert is so conservative IN his views
that he will not be hurried, though IL
time IL is believed he will take up these
matters.
