WAsErNGroN, ID. c., March 2S.-Im-
portant developments in regard 70 the
West Virginia federal offices are expected
IN the next two days.
There is a strong disposition IN some
quarters 70 cOnnt Gen. Watts out OF the
race for District Attorney and
10 put forward a new candidate.
This is based on the assertion that the
President mas intimated be could not re-
appoint Watts. How clear this intimati0n
Of the Presidents was, 10 is not easy 20 as
certain, but those who want re-arrange-
ment Of the slate seem 70 regard 10 as quite
clear enough for their purposes, and tney
are apparently eager 20 80 ahead on the
understanding that General Watts is no
longer "in it,
The talk sul is that the Second Con-
gressiOnal District viii produce new can
didate for the District AttOrneyShlp, ana
that ne will make the Liveliest kind OF a
fight for the place.
This candidate will not, however, II IS
asserted, be the Hon. g. Wood DALEY. II
affairs take this turn, IL will somewhat
embarrass the candidacy Of Mr. GilKerson
for the CollectOrship, and might possibly
defeat him altogether. However, those
who look for such a change on the checker
board as indicated above may md dlSap-
pointment in store for them. It is not so
certain that General Watts IS out OF the
race. IL is still probable his friends may
induce the President 10 appoint him, and
thus the slate may go through intact.
Tomorrow will probably tell the story,
as far az least, as Indicating whether there
will be a general agreement 70 consider
Gen. Watts out Of the race.
CAPT DelaDiaine OF Wheeling turned up
here smiling this morning and not az all dis

indicated a preference, had been given 10

feels hopeful that he will eventually get
there.
Col. Charlie Hagans is still confident
that, despite the decision OF the Senate
Democratic caucus not to remove certain
Republican employees Of that body at pres
ont, be will eventually get the place be IS
after, or something equally as good.
The contest over the Senate reOrganiZa-
tion will begin tomorrow, but there Is q
good deal OF doubt as % the outcome.
Whether the Democratic Senators are de-
termined to fight the thing out TO a sue
sceesful termination remains 70 De
&een. If they 90 Ia 20 win,
and the Republicans force them 70
make a hard fight, il may be that the Dem
Ocrats will, when 10 is all over. feel dis
posed 70 make a cleaner sweep OF the Re
publican employees than they would other
wise have done.
Although the Senate was In session but
thirty-hVe minutes to-day, lt was long
enough for considerable business TO De
transacted The reorganization OF the
elective officers fight was transferred 70
