WASHINGTON, May 5.-Mr. X. B. Glenn.
OF Winston, prominent candidate for the
United States attorneyship for the West
ern District of North Carolina, has re-
turned TO the city and has been engaged
in running down q report, which. if 1t had
not been refuted. was calculated TO do him
an injury. The report was that Mr.. Glenn
had put In an application for the position
of Collector of Internal Revenue, thereby
relInquishing all hope of being appointed
District Attorney. THIS report Is said 10
have been circulated In the State much TO
Mr.. Glenn's detriment. Some people: 1t is
charged, even went SO far as to say that a
letter OF the character was on hie mere IN
the department. but II turns out there IS
not q word of truth III the rumor.
Mr. Glenn promptly denounced the
letter forgery If there was any
such document on file. II turns out, how
ever that there is not a scrap on file bear
ing upon the matter referred TO. Mr..
Glenn has not had the reInotest idea OF
abandoning the race for the attorneyship.
His friends have not relaxed their efforts
in the least, and some OF them say that his
chances are considered good.
HE FEELS CERTAIN OF IT.
One of the prominent Virginia congress-
men SAID to-day that he felt certain Viz
GINA would get several good appoint
ments in few days. He did not say what
they were. but expressed the opinion that
the appointments soon to be made Will
give general satisfaction. Not many VIZ
ginia or North Carolina visitors are IN the
city at present. They evidently became
tired of waiting and have about made mp
their minds 10 remain at their homes, be-
lIevlng that chances are as good as II they
were on the ground.
Among the more recent Virginia visitors
was Judge Gooch, of Roanoke, formerly OF
Louisa county.
ON FILE Al THE TREASURY.
SO far about fifty-fve applications from
Virginians have been filed at the Treasury
Department for positions. but nearly half
relate 10 Offices located in the State. The
North Carolina applications at the same
department foot up eighty-One TO date.
New York, Texas. and Kentucky have
applied for more places under the
Treasury Department than any Of the
States. In fact, the list for the three
named is simply appalling: kentuckians
evidently ore actuated by the hope that as
Mr. Carlisle IS from their State he natural
ly feels like dealing out the positions llbe-
rally to Kentucky.
Senator Hunton will remain but a
week at his home, IN WarrentOn.
Senator Daniel, who returned 10 the
city Wednesday night. has been dong his
utmost to shake down some Of the official
plums for his friends. and the chances Of
success are good.
