WAsHrNGrON, d. c., March 22.-The
friends OF Colonel Joseph ). Miller
were a good deal surprised and dis
turbed to-day, by q report shat the
Commissioncrsbip OF Internal Revenue
would be givea TO q Pennsylvania man,
The story was that an understanding
had been reached between the Ken
tucky men aud the Pennsylvania lead
ers. by which the two Kentucky candi-
dates for the Revenue Commissioner
ship were TO be Withdrawn, and Captain
Skinner, a well-knOwn Pennsylvania
politician. pushed for the place.
II IS not believed there is any truth
I'm the report that a deal Of this kind
has been fixed up but it does look as II
Pennsylvania might get the Commis-
sionerShip. Who the Pennsylvania
candidate will be is uncertain, though
Captain Skinner may be the man fixed
on. II West Virginia falls 10
get this position it will In
crease the chances Of Mr.. Jepson,
OF Wheeling, for the TreaSurershiD. An
other thing which encouraged Mr.. Jep-
sons friends IS the nomination to-day OF
John 5 Seymour, Of Connecticut, Tor
the Patent COmmiSsiOuershlp Mr..
Jepson's most formidable rival for the
Treasurership IS Mr.. Morgan, ex-Mayor
OF Bridgeport. Conn. Now that the
Nutmeg State has been given the Pat
ent COmmissiOnerShip, it Is thought
very unlikely il will also get the United
States TreasurerShiD.
