DALTON LIKELY TO GET 1T.
Carlisle Believed to Have Acted
ON the St. Louis SurveyOrship.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., April H.
Secretary Carlisle was in conference
with the President tonight. Among
other matters unde r discussion, it
is believed, was that of the Survey
orship of Customs at st. Louis.
Secretary Carlisle has made a
thorough examination of all the
papers in the case, and there is
good reason to believe that he has
recommended the appointment OF
Colonel Dalton to the President.
Mr.. Cleveland will go over the
papers in his own way and at his
own convenience, but it is safe to
say that he will finally agree with
the Secretary of the Treasury that
the appointment Of Colonel Dalton
would be the most popular, the
most political and the most salts
factory.
MIR. Cleveland was inclined a
week ago to be prejudiced against
Colonel Dalton, but after seeing
him, %conversing with him, hearing
from friends in whom he had con-
fidence regarding Colonel Dalton's
attainments and character, the Pres
ident's prejudices began to give
way and there is good reason to be-
lieve Colonel Dalton will be appoint
ed within a few days. There will
be no particular hurry about other
Missouri appointments, but it is
reasonably certain that General
Shelby will receive the Endorsement
of the delegation for the Marshal.
ship of the Western District.
Secretary Carlisle to-day received
several dispatches from st. Louis
protesting against the appointment
of Colonel Dalton ON the ground
that he was a nonresident Mr..
Carlisle does not consider this a
reasonable ground for objection,
and the protests found a resting
place In the waste basket,

SOME OF the appointing nts of the
Mayor Monday night appear to
have been surprises to some, but we
are sure the men appointed will
make good efficient officers. Some,
of course, had to be disappointed as
there are not enough offices for all
who are competent to fill them.
The mayor in selecting those he
did cast no reflections upon those
who were not appointed.

The Secretary Still Considering the
Suryeyorship of the Port of
st. Louis.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
Secretary Carlisle is still consider
ing the Surveyorship of the Port of
st. Louis. He expects to send the
papers in the case with his recon-
mendations to the President early
next week. There is reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Carlisle is very favor
ably impressed with Colonel Dalton
and that he will recommend his APP
pointment. He has made a thorough
investigation of the transcript of the
court In the case of the Keokuk and
Northwestern Railroad, which form
ed the basis of the charges against
Colonel Dalton, and can see nothing
in the transcript rejecting on the in
tegrity or character of Colonel Dali
ton.
The Secretary has been worried a
good deal with o~ffice-seekers and
their friends, and has not been able
to devote as much time to the ex-
animation of papers and applica-
tons as he would desire to have, but
for a couple of hours each evening
he has managed to seclude himself
from the office-seekers, and in that
time has got in as much work as he
could. He expects to dispose of the
Port OF st. Louis within a few days,
and it is not unlikely that the Presi-
dent will accept his recommends.
ton. Just now it looks very much
like Colonel Dalton would secure
the job.

Mr.. s. G.. Groves brought his

horse attracted a great deal of atten-
ton. Victor is one of the cleanest

it has ever been our pleasure to look
at. He is by Victor Won Bismarck,

Victor can pace a wonderful clip

thoroughly for speed. His first

speed. If you want to see a perfect

A FALSE RUMOR That a Reduction of the
 Grading Force Had Taken Place on the North and South Road.
 -.
 A Letter Received Yesterday From the Chief Engineer Says that the Work Is Progressing More Vigorously than Ever and
 will so Continue.

4 week ago rumor was put in cir- culation, how no one precisely knows, that work on the north and south road would probably be suspended on ac. count of the prevailing financial condi- tions of the country. and that the work had already been greatly reduced so that only the rock work this side of Prescott WAS being carried on, The story na- turaily created consternation as more discouraging thing could not be easi- ly imagined than inc temporary sus- pension of work on project upon which the prosperity of the city almost absolutely depended. Inquiries were made and Major J. W. Evans wrote to Chief Engineer Vaughn regarding the rumor. A reply yesterday under the date of June 2i was reassnring and sui ficient to allay whatever uneasiness might have arisen. Among other things the chief engineer wrote: !: "There has been no reduction of our grading force to the present time and all reports to the contrary are false. So far as am advised, there is no probability that the work will be dis continued even temporarily"
 It will be remembered that year ago reports were circulated that the work had come to standstill, and word was sent from San Francisco by Associated Press that the Santa Fe having with drawn it's support, the project had been entirely abandoned. At that very time the work WAS being pushed more vigor- ously than ever and 6 large issue Of bonds were cold through the influence of the support of the Santa Fe and on the strength of it's connection with the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix road.
 The management of the road has re- ceutly given assurance that it would reach Phenix early next year, and nothing has since occurred to weaken the assurance, so that Phoenix may confidently look for emancipation at the time announced.
