Special 10 THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The California
delegation Is making no further recon-
mendatons for office. In fact its members
do not know whether to recommend or
whether not to. Cleveland is so crOtchety
that they do not know whether it is worth
while to.try and advise him.
1t is stated BY q gentleman who talked
long with Cleveland to-day that the Presi-
dent said that as he was responsible to the
people for all appointments made he GER
tainly would not delegate to others the right
to fill the Offices. This agrees with what he
said 10 Representative Mcguire Of San
Francisco the other day.
The President will, however, be glad to
receive suggestions and advice from Sens-
tors and Representatives in Congress, not
as State delegations but as individuals. If
tie recommendations made appear to be
good ones they will be regarded, and If not
they will be disregsrded.
Representative Geary saw the President
to-day, and according to his statement.
Cleveland will refuse to recognize those
Office-seekers who are now infesting the
hotel lobbies in Washington. Mr.. Geary
further understood from the President that
California office-holders would be allowed
TO serve out their terms OF Office. In this
Phelps as Collector of Customs will not be
made for about year yet Tarpey has not
abandoned his candidacy for this place, al
though every one tells him Wise has
''eineh" on it. Tarpsy filed his papers at
the Treasury Department to-day.
Del Vale of Los Angeles, who was
backed by the entire California delegation
for the Mexican mission, which went to ex-
Governor Gray of Indiana. has concluded
that lie does not want to be Minister to
Chile. Ten thousand dollars year is not
enough salary, he says. add be wants
place where he can save some money or no
place at all.
The Chilean mission just about pays ex-
penses, and as one of his friends put il,
del Vale does not want to work four
years for his board"
The irish crowd are betting that English
will not receive much, if any, recognition
for himself or his friends, while English's
friends say that Irish will not be made
Naval Officer in face of the protests that
are being urged against his appointment.
J. j. Dwyer will leave here in day or
two for New York, and he may or may not
return. Senator White said to-day that
there was no truth in the report circulated
last night to the effect that an Eastern man
would be appointed Minister to Japan.
This may De true, and MS no appointment
has been decided upon yet the dropping
spirits of California aspirants for this office
are consequently greatly frightened.
Among the applications for offics fled at
tie Treasury Department to-day are these:
c. Hirsch Of San Francisco, to be Assistant
Appraiser; c. E. Phelan of Lake County to
be Inspector of Drugs; Donald Bruce of
San Francisco TO be Naval Officer; w. S.
Leak of Sacramento to be Collector: Robert
a. Thompson of Santa Rosato be Appraiser
Al San Francisco; James c. Tucker of San
Francisco to be Appraiser; o. NJ. Wellborn
