TAcouA, June a. Especial - Dsmo-
cratic State Committeeman Stephen
O'Brien today received the following tale.
gram from Warrington City:
Have sssn appointed special agent Robert

that Mr.. CnlIom Is to succeed Special
ment, and that he has his commission
charge. Mr.. Mulkey 10 1t Portland. and
ii 10 assumed that he also has been mott.
fed that his successor has been named.
As Mulkey has held Office since Gen. Ar
thurs time. the Democrats rejoice exceed
inefy when they discuss his removal.
The reference to Robertson in the dispatch
signifies that Mr.. OBrien's Law partner
has been confirmed, but that was sx-
pected, Of course.
Special Agent Of the Treasury Mulkey
returned at midnight from Portland. He
has not been notified of the appointment
of his successor. Possibly, he said. Mr..
Cullom had been appointed for some other
treasury district. This conjecture il dis
posed of by the Tillicums by the statement
that Mr.. Cullom had sought appointment
to this district, and that II he had been APP
pointed to some other section Of the coun-
try he would surely have stated that fact
in his telegram.
Steve Judson, ex-candidato for the
United States marshalship, has had an
experience which Hugh c. Wallace's
friends say shows that all great leaders
are magnanimous when victorious. In
this instance the Steilacoom postofYice
was the peace offering, and this is Mr..
Judson's narrative Of the way in which il
came within his reach, only to be spurned:
Vas standing on the street, when along
comes Mr.. Wallace. He said he wanted to
speak to me, and told him ia zee him when
had finished . talk was having with another
man.
At this the leader of the Gr,ggs- Collins
Democracy in the legislature pulled sooth-
ingly at his cigar and observed o trife
vacantly:
1t only shows what that fellow knowa Ho
wanted to smooth things over. But he don't 60
1t it in the right way. The Republicans ars 90
ing to have picnic and . walk-over.
Then he took up the peace Offering spe-
officially:
Well. when I got through talking went over
to Wallace, and he said he UNDERWOOD l had q
son or daughter. and assured me that he could
get the Steilacoom post6nice for him or her. I
looked At him. II il had been anybody but Wal
lace I'd understood that he wanted toinsult me.
but I'm satisfied he did not mean il that way.
He was In earnest thought It was enough to
have one candidate in the family. and besides
what would ] want with Us pOstofYice for Q
member Of my fsmilyf Humph! did not
want IL OF course no.. When want any thing
from him I'll lot him know.
HIS eyes snapped. He bit the end OF
his cigar. His attention was called to the
fact that Collector Saunders Was here:
Yes. know II have seen him. did not

mtttse. Ill not income anybody. Remained
at my home during the time shat petitions were
being prepared for other candidates. Good
clean recommendations came 70 me. and plenty
OF them, aud the best OF It il they came without
being solicited. That makes them valuable
Oh. m satisfied. don't care what they do
Mr.. Judson makes small allowance for
the abilities Of Mr.. Wallace A young
Democrat. whose star. politically. to say
the least. 10 working up high in the heav-
ems. reviews Chief Wallace's action thus:
After Wallace had spoken to him, Judsou
turned aud said he had been insulted. Now
what had Wallace done? simply this: There
was . postofice 70 Be filed at stci accom-, where
Judson gels his mail. Wallace. with excellent
good sense, went to Mr.. Judson and asked him
II he had any one to recommend. II Judsou
had said be had man for the place. an surs
that man would have been named postmaster OF
stciiacoom. Mr.. Judson admits tentatively
that IL Mr.. Wallace had not consulted him hs
would have made . great roar And when he
was consulted he wanted to roar anyway. lie
seemed to think that Wallace wanted to find out
who he wanted 70. the ste1ia accom- postofficc, In
order that he might turH him down. But he
would have done nothing of the sort am
sorry for Judson.
Mr.. Judson does not want any crocodile
Til,icum sympathy. however But the
Joker In tho Steilacoom appointment
seems to be the fact that the "man" recon-
mended by Mr.. Judson is woman" II
is charged up to Judson and others that
they first recommended o druggist. Mr..
Bair. Subsequently Mr. Judson came out
for woman. Mr.. Bair will probably be
appointed.
Collector Saunders arrived here today,
and during the latter part of the afternoon
and this evening was the guest Of National
Committeeman Hugh c. Wallace. He will
leave in the morning. AS to appointments
he says he will not take Office until the
end OF the fiscal year. June 81. and that he
