Martin J. Naloney, OF whascosn. late can
didase Tor United States marshal. was
appointed SUPPORT collector at Whaseom
today By Collector Saunders. Not only
Was Aalcney correct when he prophesied
that he would be the sppoinsee or else

gan. both Of Whatcom county. who viii
receive commissions As inspectors OF
customs, vice r f. Evans and Z
l. Warner. Msioney Endorsed and
recommended them both. Saunders
signed their appointments today.
Maloney's appointment was big surprise.
No one anticipated il except MS friends.
and they have been confident for week
or ten days. 1t nov appears that Hugh
Wallace. too. recommended Maioney, -
well as the larger majority ofthe state Gen.
trail committee. The only direct opposition
against Maloney came from Whatcom, and
inssmuch as he denied his candidacy in
that section Of the country. no one seri-
ously thought he would get the Office. and
yet il 10 surprising to learn that he had
influence enough 70 take two men In with
him.
Another surprise, almost as big ~ Ma
ioney's appointment, was sprung BY the
collector this afternoon when he ap-
pointed d. II. Kenaga customs stenog-
rapher At . salary Of $1,000 per annum.
kenaga 10 . staunch Republican and
his selection by the collector caused
CONSERVATION TO prevail in the ranks OF
the Democracy for awhile. They could
hardly believe that Saunders was 20 liberal
in his political views - to nominate Re-
publican oficehoider.
Contrary to general expectation no ap-
poiniment for sub-collector 1t Seattle was
announced today.
II is said THAT today's Posr-i INTEL LrcEs-
cER's announcement tina: dark horse
had been chosen for the place caused IN
avalanche of kilograms to swamp the col
iecsor. It also brought Rochester
down from Seattle to look after
Heifner's interests and to refuts the
recent allegations made by the anti-kids.
1t 10 pretty generally understood that
Saunders forewent the appointment to-
day to afford Heisner and Nc
Donald time to present additional recon-
mendations. Al the same time It
Is admitted that Saunders has
already offered the appointment to Sc
attle man and that his Oh ject in delaying
the matter is to afford all parties an equal
chance to present their credentials. Since
Malouey was appointed Esplins chances
are said to be much brighter.
Matt McElroy, . member of the state
constitutional convention. is said to be
the dark horse whom Saunders will name
a. deputy collector ut Seattle. He is in
dorsed by the older and more substantial
element Of the Democratic party. and his
claims appear to be the best. Locally it is
claimed tina. tho fight lies between him
and Todd, since Talbot declined the APP
pointmcnt.
The announcement Of Frank P. Fischer
as inspector will be made in . few days at
Port Angeles.
Daniel Hit Kenaga has lived in Port Towns
end three years. He WAS born At Urbans. o., in
1862 and when 10 yeaYs Old his parents removed
To kaukakec, III. Ia that city he became
druggist. and subsequently removed 70 New
York city. and WAC employed ~ . stenographer.
He then went to Springfield, ILL.,. and was an
attachs OF one Of the state offices for several
yeara He 10 q Republican in politics and .

So'y OcVtke d.
Blanchard. Of Tacoma. the recently ap-
pointed receiver Of the First National and
Columbia National banks. Of this city,
which closed their doors . few
days ago, has arrived but has not
yet entered upon his duties. He is
waiting for the bonds to be approved. he
says, but the Democratic brethren say
differently. Some of them Are mad. They
say the appointment of Blanchard. W no is
Republican. Is an insult to the
Democracy Of the state. They ask
il Comptroller Eckels could not
find an honest and capable Democrat in
the state for the position, which is sup
posed to be lucrative one. Yesterday the
wires were kept hot. and the comptroller
OF the currency no doubt heard several
vigorous protests against his action.
Some of the brethren want Jerry Net
crer appointed receiver Of the Columbia
National bank. Neterer IS tillicum and
a close friend of Joshua +. Baker, cashier
OF the bank. Martin J. Maloney also
wants his friend Neterer appointed, hence
the activity Of the wires the past day or
two. And SO the matter stands. Ii is
