WASHINGTON, D. c., March 27.-The
fact that the name OF no West Vlrginian
appeared on the list OF fOrty-one nom
nations sent TO the Senate by the Presi-
dent to-day was rather disappointing 10
the West Virginia colony in town, as
most OF them expected that the Com
missioner OF Internal Revenue would
at least be named, and that Col. Miller
would be the man, but as no other i'm
portaut department pieces were filled
the disappointment was not as great as
10 might have been.
There was quite an influx Of West
Vlrginians into the city again to-day.
Judge Lucas returned TO see II there Is
not chance for him TO get something
else now that the Danish mission has
been filed.
Colonel William A. Ohley also came
back again, but not 10 stay. tie was on
his way TO PittSburg.
Senator Wiley and Colonel ]. P. R. B.
Smith, Of Pt. Pleasant, are likewise
here.
Mr.. J. f. Lantry, OF Wheeling, is an
other Of the new arrivals.
The heads of three more West Nir-
ginia Republican pOStmasters fell into
the basket to-day. AT SiStersvlle, f.
ID. Mccoy was appointed To succeed A.
b Wilson, removed; at Montgomery,
Fayette county, w. NJ. Dent was ap-
pointed 10 succeed NJ. J. Simms, re-
moved; at Nicholas c. H., J. A. Means
was appointed TO succeed j. ). Craig,
removed.
But three nominations. apparently,
were confirmed to-day. This Is not lit
orally true. II is said upon good Demo-
cratic authority that all the nomna-
tions sent In by the President for impOr-
tant Offices up to date, exclusive OF
those sent to-day, have been favorably
acted upOn.
Under the rules, unless a motion to
Immediately notify the President is car
ried, these combinations lie on the ia
bic for two cen nsecutive executive Ses-
sions In order that q motion TO recon-
slider NAV De made If any one desires so
10 do. For that reason, although the
Senate has acted upon the nominations
before il, the fact has not been made
public.
