AS IT LOOKS IN WASHINGTON.
Mr.. Caldwell to Get a Foreign Mission
Editor Gonzales Wants to Go to
Shanghai, China.
| Special to Columbia Journal. |

PERRY BACKED BY CONSERVATIVES.
Nearly all the conservative support
has rallied to Perry for Collector. Not
withstanding this, your correspondent
can say with emphasis that Perry will
not be appointed. It is rumcred here
that Tompkins will Withdraw and that
the Tillmanites will solidly support Nc
Gala. The fight is between McCalla
and McMaster.
EARLE SAID TO BE IN THE LEAD.
Earle is considered far in the lead for
District Attorney. He made fine i'm
preston on Cleveland, and the Presi-
dent spoke of him in the highest terms.
Elliott possibly runs second, but Doug
las stands high, and is backed by strong
support. The race is really between
these three.
THE MARSP tLSHIP RACE.
In the marshalship conundrum, Pope,
. Donaldson and Msuldin are even up,
and fighting hard.
FOREIGN MISSION APPLICANTS.
Caldwell will get foreign mission,
but not to Italy. The Hon. John
Bacon has withdrawn his application
for his old place and will apply for
nothing.
n. G. Gonzales is here explaining to
the President why he ought to 60 as
consul to Shanghai, China. TROY is
fighting him because he says it will
hurt Governor Tiilman if Gonzales
leaves the State.
The Hon. J. C. Hemphill will not be
minister to England.
Ex-Congressman Hemphill will get
the place of Associate Justice fthe Su-
prerne Court of the District of Colum-
bia.
Bachman will likely be postmaster
in Columbia. .--.- ..:
Pope returned home this morning.
MORE NEWS OF THE SAME SORT.
Especial to Augusta Chronicle.]
WASHINGTON, March l5.-1t has
circulated through several of the South
Carolina newspapers that even if Mr..
Cleveland nominated Gen.. Earle for
District Attorney the Senate would not
confirm the appointment Gen. Earle
called on Senator Butler this morning
and asked him if he inspired or was
authority for such statement. SeDa-
tor Butler informed him that not only
was the report untrue, but to show his
admiration of him as man thorough
ly qualified for the position, he would
take pleasure in giving him letter of
recommendation, and did so. Thus
another newspaper canard is nailed.
Senator Irby called with Gen. Earle
at the White House and the two had
long talk with Mr.. Cleveland. They
seem thoroughly satisfied. 1t appears
tonight that Gen. Earle will be Dis
trict Attorney, Mr.. Pope Marshal and
Mr.. Lipscomb Collector of Internal
Revenue.
It is freely predicted by prominent
Carolinians that if Gen. Earle is de-
feated for District Attorney the Reform
faction will take him up as their can
didate for Governor.
DR.. Pope returns to South Carolina
tomorrow. He says he does not pro-
pose to go on the Richmond and Dan
Vile because it does not pay its taxes.
STILL CALLING AT THE wH1TE HOUSE.
Especial to News and Couriec.i
WASHINGTON, March l6.-South
Carolina was we'll represented among
the Presidents callers to-day. Senator
Butler was the first arrival. He had
an appointment to meet Gen. Wade
Hampton with Mr.. n. G, Gonzales, Of
Columbia, who is an aspirant for an
appointment in the consular service.
While waiting their arrival Senator
Butler bad short conversation with
the President on South Carolina mat
ters generally, and the President ex-
pressed desire to talk further with
Senator Butler on the subject. They
will renew the subject tomorrow after
noon. When Gen. Hampton arrived
with Mr.. Gonzales Senator Butler had
gone to the Capital. The President
received Gen. Hampton and Mr.. Con-
zales, and the latter was given an op-
portunity to express bis desires, and
bis suggestions will receive due con-
sideration.
Ex-Representative Hemphill called
to introduce Mr.. W. R. Davie, wto is
being urged by many of the best peo-
pie in South Carolina for the marshal
ship. Tbs President, as has been
stated before in athese dispatches, in
formed Mr.. Davie that 10 action would
be taken in the South Carolina matters
until he receives certain information
which has been promised from friend
ly source.
A rumor was in circulation here to-
day among South Carolinians to the
~ eject that the President has decided to
appoint Ex-Atto-ney General Earle
district attorney. The report is sup
posed to have originated from the fact
that Senator Irby and Mr.. Earle saw
the President yesterday. Senator But
Ter and those who consulted the Presi-
dent to-day say the report has no
foundation whatever.
