WASHINGTON, D. c., March 90
There was a good deal Of diSappolnt-
nent among West Virginians tO-dsy,
when IL was found that no names OF the
favorite sons of the State were on the
list of nominations sent TO the Senate
by the President. IL was generally eX-
Dected. az least, that Colonel Miller's
name would be sent in FOR Commissioner
of internal Revenue, and good many
ueoDle also looked for the nomination
OF Senator Faulkner for Chief Justice
of the District Court Of Appeals.
AS TO the latter place il is now said
the nomination cannot be made under
the law creating the court until after
the 80 of April. On Wednesday several
members Of the West Virginia delega-
tion will 90 the White House and call
the attention Of the President 10 tae
subject of the federal offices 10 De nlleO
in the State aud learn, II possible, his
intentions with regard 70 them.
Gen. Watts's application now bears
the Endorsement of both the Senators
and the tour members Of Congress, and
IL is thought ia the highest degree In
probable that the President will be dis
posed 10 hesitate about appointing him.
The Charleston poStotfice matter will
also be brought up and an endeavOr Will
be made 70 induce the President 70 ap-
point Mrs. Kenna without delay. Con-
gressmen Anderson and PendletOn to-
day went to the Agricultural Dapart-
ment and recommended the removal OF
Alvin p. GoshOrn, of Charleston, who
holds messengers place in the Depart
ment. GoShOrn has gone out OF his way
10 make himself offensive 20 those gen
tlemen.
Congressman Capehart returned to
Washington this morning on the receipt
OF telegram from Postmaster General
Blsseu, telling him that the Depart
ment wished 10 put a new postmaster in
harge of the office al Point Pleasant
The Republican incumbent Of the office,
Mr.. Whaley, has been under charges
for some time. Before the 4th OF March
an attempt was made TO have Mrs.
Simpson appointed 70 the place.
Her application was indOrsed
BY Secretary Elkins, Judge Cot and
other prominent Republicans Of the
State, but Postmaster General Wana-
maker declined TO recommend her nom-
ination so near the end Of the Repuoli-
can administration, as he held 1t would
he unfair 90 the Democrats. Mr.. Cape
hart to-day recommended the appoint
ment Of Mr.. hoy TO the place. He also
recommended the appointment Of the
following fourth class pOstmas-
ters in his district: At Ritchie
Court House, Homer Mckinley; at
Arnoldsburg. A. +. Kinney; at ST.
Marys, j. NJ. Wells; az Pennsboro, d.

Cooper. The last named Office Is now
OF the Presidential class and the COM
mission Of the present incumbent will
soon expire.
Gel. William A. Ohiey and Charlie
Wells came back 70 Washington to-day
10 see how matters were progressing
here.
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue
Mason to-day completed his fourth year
OF service in the Office. He said this
evening he was surprised TO still find
his official head on his shoulders, as he
will certainly not be removed to-mOr-
row. Mr.. Mason will by tomorrow
night have served longer than any Of
his predecessors in the Office, with the
exception of Commissioner Raum. Com
missioner Miller was removed by Har-
rison on the day he completed the
