Irby Comes Home for a Rest-Another New
berry Man looking Around the Capitol.
Special to News and Courle

County, vice II. P. Moore, resigned. It
is understood that this appointment
was made at the instance of RepreseD-
tative Shell, but it has no bearing
upon the pending controversy, which
involves Representative-elect Strait,
Latimer and McLaurin.
Senator Irby, who has been indis-
posed for several weeks past, left Wash
ington for home tonight.
There is a general understanding
that the work of the extraordinary ses-
sion of the Senate is about over, and
many of the Senators have gone to
their homes.
Gen. Hampton was at the Capitol to-
day with Representative Brawley and
Gen. Bradley T. johnson. General
Hampton has appointed Mr.. Thomas,
of Columbia, private secretary to the
commission of railroads. Mr.. Thomas
was formerly confidential clerk to Col.
John Haskell. He will probably arrive
here to-ruol row and enter at once upon
bis new duties.
L. P. Miller, Of Newberry, is here
looking for comfortable berth under
the present Administration.
The nomination Of Judge of the new
Court of Appeals does not go to the
Senate to-day. The friends of ex-Repre-
sentative Hemphill are not as conf
dent of bis appointment tonight as
they were few days ago. At the
White House no positive information
can be obtained on the subject.
1RsY ENTERS HIS PROTEST AGAINST
TIE NOMINATION OF n. G. CON
Especial to The State.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator
Irby left the city tonight for his home
in South Carolina. In au interview
just before leaving he said: "All the
stuff about nominations of South Caro-
hnians is the widest conjecture. Out OF
all abundance of caution, however, l
filed this afternoon with the President
a solemn protest against the name OF
y. 6. Gonzales Tor a consulate. l
have been waiting for week expect
Jog this nomination. 1t did not come
in, if it comes in at all, before the ad-
iournment of the Senate. My infor-
nation is that the nomination for the
Judgeships of the District Court of
Appeals will be made Tomorrow. The
Senate will confirm them on Saturday,
and an immediate adjournment will
follow. I am going home and for the
next ten days expect to run red foxes
for diversion. I will return in two
weeks to Washington, to watch the in
terests of my friends"
AS soon as the Senate adjourns, it is
expected the appointments will begin
to roll out of the White House. Mr..
Cleve'aud complains, it is said, of the
rush Of visits of Senators and their
constituents.
BRAWLEY ON HAND.
Representative Brawley to-day ten
dered bis service to the Postmaster
General if needed in the eiucidation Of
the patronage problem. 1t may be
stated with certainty that Irby has
secured no concessions and 40 favorable
assurance in that quarter. The acts
of the Postohice Department will in
due time reveal its policy. Ne formal
announcement is expected.
