VIRGINIA'S ASPIRANTS.

THE cOMPLICATTOyS.
RepressnsativeS O'Ferrall and Swanson
Fall to Elicit Any Satisfaction
From the Executive.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The scram-
bic among the applicants for the positions
OF United States marshals. United states
district attorneys and internal revenue
collectors In the Eastern and Western
districts Of Virginia was intensified to-
day.
On the 22d instant a meeting OF the
Virginia delegation in Congress was held
and a committee appointed consisting OF
Messrs. O'Ferral Wise and Jones. TO
call upon the President and ascertain his
views REGARDING the united in
dorsement Of the delegation fer the va
rious rlaces. In the absence from the
city OF Mcssrs. Jones and Wise. Rep
resentative OFerrall, accompanied by
REPRESENTATIVE Swanson. called upon the
President to-day and informed him that
there were sevent zen applicants for one
position alone. ard that a proposition
had been made 10 these applicants that
six persons be selected by the united con-
gressonal Gelcg Ition for recommendation
for app ointment.
The committee declined to make public
the result OF the conf renee, but IL Is
Understood that the President advised he
committee 10 go ahead and decide az to
who should be presented for the various
positions. and while he would give due
consideration TO recommendations Of the
delegation, ha would reserve the right
10 aLpoint whom he pleased. IL is also
understood that Mr.. Cleveland respond ii
TO Inquiries from the delegation. who
informed him that there were several
ex-ofiiceholders among the applicants for
appointment, stating that the rule laid
..rtt a
strictly adhered to.
The full delegation will meet again on
the 3lst when the committee will report
the Views OF the President In regard to
the matter.
II is said that many OF the applicants
declined the proposition that six persons
be selected for recommendation by the
united delegation, and say they will cut
loose from the delegation and exert in
dividual influence with the President.
The Alabama Plan Abandoned.
The -A.aoama plan" for disposing OF
Federal offices was to-day abandoned by
the Alabama delegation themselves. Re-
peated declarations of the President that
while he would be glad to consider the
recommendations for office by congress
sional delegations. he would not be alb
solutely bound by them brought this
about. Another cause. however, was the
dissatisfaction and rebellion among the
candidates who were not so fortunate as
to secure recommendation OF their united
delegation. Now II is go-as-you-please
with candidates. and their individual
strength and merit will determine their
appointments.
The West Virginia delegation Is report
ed to have had some experience with
united recommendation that discouraged
them. They presented the recommended
ton of a candidate signed by the entire
delegation ard were met with the in
quiry whether the man presented was the
only one In the State tit for the Office he
wanted. What ultimate result their effort
met with doesn't appear.

era scare is back again. \ train load of
l30 immigrants was stopped at Windsor

Monday from Acting Secretary Spaulding
at Washington to the effect that 400 inn
migrants from Hamburg for Toledo. De-
troit. Cleveland. Chicago and elsewhere
had arrived at Halifax. Strict quarantine
regulations at Detroit were enjoined.
Yesterday another dispatch relating to
the batch of immigrants was received as
follows: Certificates of disinfection OF
council at Hamburg are probably not
obtainable In lieu of that any evidence
that satisfies the local board of health
officers that the effects may be safely
admitted will be accepted. No specified
time is fixed for detention of immigrants
further that it must satisfactorily ap-
pear that they may be safely admitted.
These instructions apply to the present
case only"
BY orders of the customs officials the
two carloads Of immigrants were at once
switched at the Canadian slip, where
they are now. The immigrants now in
Windsor cannot come over TO Detroit ex-
cept by authority of City Health officer
Dufield. Customs Collector Tilman has
issued orders to that effect to his men,
and If any attempt is made to bring
them over on the authority of the State

IRON BREAKER BURNED.
Total Loss to the Machinery and Building
VIII Reach $500, 900.

HAZLETON, PA, March @.-Coxe's
iron-breaker at Oneida is on fire, and
there seems to be no way of fighting the
flames. The structure was erected at a
cost of a quarter OF million dollars, and
is the only one of it's kind in the country.
Owing to the nature Of the material
used in the construction OF the Oneida
breaker, the loss was not so complete as
at first supposed The entire frame OF
the building IS still intact. The interior,
which was flied with the most improved
machinery. however was either rendered
useless or entirely destroyed. There was
little or no wood used in the building.
The total loss TO the machinery and
building Will run up TO S200,000 The
structure was the only one of its kind
ever built 1t was supposed to be entirely
fire-proof. improvements, which were
under construction. would have made a
capacity OF 3 1000 tons per day. The build
ing was completed only year ago.
