board be received 1900. bat ne must re-
InqaEsh that position nos TO Jesse Coch-
ran. who In thus promoted from salary

eseaed By ]. N. Wolfe. whose salary will
be increased from 81. 30 10 81. 800. II the
proposed amendment 30 the charter be
carried, the salary Of each member wiii be
81, 800 or 81. 100, tho members Of the conn
ell being yet undecided which figure TO
puts NJ.
The term of DR.. J. A. Shannon a. .
mem Der of the board of health, has ex-
pred, and ths mayor will probably send
in the name Of DIR. Henry Yandsli. He
comes from Yazoo City, Miss. and has
been prnctscing in Seattle for abon. four
years. The other members are DR.. +. n.
M. Miller and Dr. b. J. Holmes. There il
no salary attached 20 the Office, ard the
term IL three years.
The mayor Ii expected to renomlnats
Mrs. Belle c. Haines for the Office of library
commissioner. shs has been . member
since tho Institution Of the library, and
has been . most indefatigable and able
worker. So far this commission has been
kept eut Of politics and the efficiency of
shs members has been the chief eonsid-
sratson. The board 1t present consists OF
ex-Judgs Eben Smith. Ell udgs Jnnius
Rochester, 7. B. Hardin. Mrs. Frank N.
Wilcox and Mrs. Belle G. Haines.
There are two vacancies on the park
DO ard, one caused BY the retirement OF w.
= Bailey, whose place has never been
filled, and the other by expiration of the
term OF Theodore ". Halter. who Ii under
stood 20 be . candidate for renomination-
Thsrs are many candidates for tins Office,
among the most likely OF success being
Theodore A. Green. of the firm OF Green,
Ehriech a Gross. shingls manufacturer.
and q. c. Wnghtman. . resident of the
Eighth ward. The other members are b.
r. Bennett G. n. Evans aud Frank Il.
Randolph.
Other appointments to be made by the
mayor in January are those of port war
den and license collector. Bardo Jeilich
will b named to succeed himself a. head
Of the harbor department, and Salvador
Eilicott will probably DO renominated by
the mayor. This II the only appointment
as TO which there are indications of serious
opposition. Michael McTeigh has come
up - candidate and Alderman c. A.
Cram. whose term on the council expires
In March. Is also being urged for the place.
All these appointments muss bs con-
frmed by the board Of aldermen, and the
action Of that body may depend to some
extent upon its own reorganization. A
new president Of the board IL TO be elected,
and a strong effort will be made to defeat
Icander Miiier's reelection. The choice
lies between Henry c. Ingram, who has
led the party fight in favor Of the 7stegraph
receiving the city printing. and Theodore
Nj. Daulton. whose prescience IN fsvoring
the Press Times Is now turned to his polit-
icaI advantage. There will be fight over
II because Carrie and Sweeney will proba-
bly, stand by Miller and the other two will
divide between them the votes of Cram.
Jordan. Brewer and Stocks, together with
their own.
In the house OF delegates President J. q.
kloeber will probably succeed himself. Al
one time w. =. Brace seemed 10 stand a
good show of securing the honor for the
next two months. but there IL disinclina-
iion on the part of many members TO
make change. as Kioeber's parIiamen.
tary skill Is recognized. Ii any change In
made IL will be merely for the purpose of
complifnensing another member than
kioeher. who has held the Office since
March. is9a. but thu house of delegate. il
much more conservative body than the
board of aldermen, and any change is very
improbable.
Gossip rs TO the impending municipal
election Ia busy with the names of Demo
cratic candidates. 1t 10 pretty generally
believed that the only member of tho
present administration who is likely 10
seek place on the chief tickle. In II. +.
Durie. who may be a candidate for city
treasurer. The principal candidates for
the mavoralsy are James Hamilton Lewis
and John Collins. II Is an open secret
that Lewis is put forward with the
chance of electing him as s,emarogic
sote-estcher. and bcnedsiug by success If
he Is elected. with thu alternative aayan-
feated, an he probably would be. II i.
hoped by playing upon his vanity and
making him believe he Is "the only Moses"
he can be enticed down from the guoerua-
toriai altitude and made 10 run on a
merely local platform.
There Is little doubt that George Dom
