GEORGIA AND THE PLUMS
JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES AFTER A
FOREIGN MISSION.

Bascom Myrics, Jack Cohen, Tom Glib
son and B. d. Richardson Ali Consid-
cred Likely to Secure Consulshi2s,
The Story That Myrick Has Been
Queered By Secretary Smith Not
Believed.
WASHINGTON, April 5. - The Georgia
colonies were on deck early this morning
and the balmy air reminded them of their
feTSway latitudes and longitudes. Col.
Lindsay johnson OF Rome, who wants the
consulate at Werms, mounted luggage
truck in front of the Metropolitan just be-
fore the colonies began their daily march
for the interior department and reminded
them that Sir John Lubbock had recently
said that this was only one Of IS, coo worlds
and that no colonel should be considered q
hog simply because he wanted this one.
1t was ezpected that Jack Cohen's nomi-
nation to a Spanish consulate would mo-
terialize to-day and one for Bascom Myrick
of the Americus Times Recorder,
but they didn't. Mr.. Myrick's friends
claim that Secretary Hoke Smith
has "queered" his chances for an appoint
ment, but the young secretary would not
put stone in amau's path even if he felt
inclined to distrust his friendship. Hoke
Smith IS an open fighter If he is anything.
John Temple Graves is a new Richmond in
the field for foreign place.
Judge Mattox, who landed Jim Dobbs so
successfully on the Valparaiso plum, has
gone actively to work for Graves.
THE STATES PRO RATA.
The state has S27, 500 worth of patronage
in tho HaparfTNapf Of vUhfob
M. b. Young has absorbed $40, 600 and Mr..
Dobbs $4,000. This leaves a $l4 ,OO0 bal
Ance, d that sum, it is felt, should be
divided up, giving four or five good show.
1t is believed that Myrlck, Jack Cohen,
Tom Gibson of the Augusta NeUs and Col.
b. II. Richardson Of the Columbus Enquirer-
Sun, will all draw prize in this consular
lottery.
Representative Livingston, who has had a
little furry about the Atlanta postofIice,
came back to Washington last night. Quite
au exploring party Of the colonies met him
at the depot. but MIR. Livingston good
naturedly stroked his wattles under his
Jowls and begging to be excused betook
himself to his hotel There ls a latent
suspicion that the colonel has rather over
done the postofllce racket by antaEonizing
the senators in the Atlanta business, but
this report may lack basis.
There seems to be no change In the mar
shalship fight for the Northern district.
Dismuke 10 the winner now. 1t is thought
that kenfroe and Flynt of Griffin have been
Quieted by promises OF future preIerment.
ELLIS TO HAVE A PLACE.
The defeat Of Col. W. d. Ellis Of Atlanta
for the place of district attorney may result
in his preferment to some better place. The
President is quoted as saying that he thinks
Ellis good man TO have in the government
service and he expects to call him.
Judge John /. Hall is not going 10 buy q
ticket to Washington until be is
safely confirmed by the Senate.
Representative Carter Tate has had a
slight attack of grip, but is out again to-
day.
Capt. Henry jackson OF Atlanta argued
the cause of Elliot VS.. the Richmond and
Danville railroad before the supreme
court to-day.
Hon. Pope Barrow, representing the
Richmond and Danville Rnilway Company
and Secretary Hoke Smith, representing
the heirs Of one Powers, plaintiff in a
damage suit, will address the supreme court
tomorrow.
The story about a rupture between Secre-
tary Hoke Smith and Gen. Gordon is a
cenard. Beth gentlemen deny it.
