WASHINGTON. ID. c., May $3.50 few of
the Virginia congressman are in the city

further reducing tho attendance of aspi-
rants for Office from the State. Tho lat
ter, as q rule, have gone home to vote ut
the spring elections, which take place to-
day. ard not for week will there be
much activity here so far as Virginians are
concerned. Mr.. Tyler was the only ono
of the Virginia representatives observed to-
DAY making the rounds of the departments:
He is working industriously to bring about
the anxiously- -hoped-for changes at the
Norfolk navy-yard and the indications arc
he will eventually meet with success.
Secretary Herbert is cautious, however,
and his time has been so taken up this
week with the Spanish visitors that he has
been unable to hear the claims OF the as
prauts.
IL is said that the President has given as
surances that he will even up Congressman

future. The President has intiInated that

something equally as desirable.
PEW coNsULATEs.
From all that can be learned Virginia
will be given two or three more cousulates.
MIR. Wise is hopeful of securing one for
the Richmond district. Nr. Tyler is pull
mo hard for another. and Farmer Ed
munds thinks his district should be recog-
nlzed also, and Mr.. Meredith Is doing his
utmos, TO land two of his constituents
into consular positions. Mr. Shackelford,
of Orange. and Mr.. Kraft. OF Alexandra.
are thought to have the best chances OF
anv of the Eighth-District applicants.
The tormer wants to go TO Lyons, france,
and the In. ter to Mannheim, Germany.
NEEDED CHANGE.
Indications are that before long change
Will be made in the postnastership at Fay
etteyilIe. n. @. The charges against the
negro Postmaster at that place have been
placed in such shape that 1t is believed
the Postmaster q eneral will act. The case
nj the start was not handled as judiciously
as it might have been. =,
Colonel Paul B. Means, OF Concord. n.
C.. has returned to the city and Is here In
the interest of some friends wanting posi-
tlons. -,
Applications OF the Treasury are falling
of. There were none filed to-day either
from Virginia or North Carolina. Ex-
Auditor Sanderlin. of North Carolina. VINO

This was stated "a week or more ago IN the
DISPATCH.
WILL BE CARED FOR.
Mr.. Tucker has been pressing Mr.. ). a.
II. Warner, of Lexington, Va, for an audi
torshlp. Mr.. Warner IS handsomely en-
dorsed and while he NAV not get al audi
torship it is thought he will be cared FOR.
Virginia is fairly entitled TO two or three
more places IN the Treasury. The applica-
tlops from the State are so numerous,
however, that it is difficult for the officials
to make up their minds.
When consular matters are again pushed
il is sand North Carolina will be remem-
bered. and Major Robbins is thought to
have the call. MIR. Hale. of Fayetteville,
is still being pressed, and so is Mr. Henry,
OK Henderson.
