WASHINGTON, D. G., March l9.-It is
nov said that tho President will send
two names from West Virginia to tho
senate tomorrow, Senator Faulkner, for
chief Justice of tho new appellate court
Of the District Of Columbia, and Joseph
s Miller, for commissioner OF internal
revenue, OF course this is merely hear
say, but there Is u growing conviction
that these two places arc determined,
and that tho two men named above
will get them. Mr.. Miller has been
quite ill for the past few days, but is
Just as quietly confident OF his selection
as over Senator Faulkner, it is be-
lieved, will gladly accept this judicial
position und 10 free himself OF tho
worry Of active politics. All has not
been lovely between the two West Vlr'
ginia senators during the fight for spoils
which has been going on since Novem'
Der. Since Mr.. Canden's election tho
two entered into compact to the elect
that neither one would endorse any
applicant without consulting the other.
Somehow tho compact did not work
satisfactorily, An applicant was en-
dorsed without consultation, and u per-
eeptibls cooaess has been the result.
Politicians are already figuring on the
result Of Joe Chiton's appointment to
the senate in Faulkner's place., 1t would
certainly necessitate further adjust
ment OF tho oft-chauged slate. That Is
to say, Mr.. Vinson. who Is now the
slate candidate for marshal, would
probably have to retire. for Chiffon
iavors the Crawford interests; Mr..
SomerviIe would stand no chance at
all for tho distrlct-attorneyship. Chill
ton, Of course, iavors Watts. Watts is
on the slate ut present, but is thought
TO DO practically out OF the race. Rep
resentative Wilson's influence will be
sufficient TO keep Gilkeson on the list.
The fact is that the Camden interests
have dictated the slate to all intents
and purposes. by this is meant the
Camden and Wilson interests COM
bined, for the two have become synono'
nous. II Faulkuer retires and Chiffon
is appointed by the governor there will
OF course DO two senators to elect two
years hence. 1t is well II erstood
that these two are to be Camden and
Wilson. Therefore, this pooling OF in
terests.
The Gsht ia likely to be a pretty one,
for there are lots OF mad Democrats
from West Virginia just now. Things
are not going to suit the workers" by
any means. The fight for marshal still
wages, and will not cease till the APP
pointment is actually made. Crawford
and his followers are bitter. Tho fight
OH Miller continues also, not so openly
as the other, however. Every man who
wants an office is opposed to every
other applicant. Hon. y. Wood Daily
says that he was informed that the
united endorsement oil the West Vir-
ginia delegation for Mr.. Mason's place
awaited him here II he would only come
and get 1t. Mr.. Daily is here, but tho
endorsement is not lie Is disGusted.

Ben Wilson has gone home. He SAYS
he would not accept anything less in
Importance than that OF assistant to tho
attorney general, and ho is making no
direct fight for one OF those places. He
isin tho hands OF his iriends.' The as
pirations OF Mr. Miller aud Mr.. Jepson
seem 10 conflict seriously. II either one
is successful II is generally conceded
that the other will not be. In tho

Mr.. Jepson's retirement from tho field,
