RUMORS OF PIE.
Tonight there are rumors that the ap-
pointment Of Collector for the Western
District Of Virginia viii be made to-
morrow. Some say McCaull will be the
man; others say IL will be Park Agnew.
IL is doubtful. however that anybody
will be named for the Office for some
time TO come. The arrival of Colonel
William Lamb chairman Of the state
Committee, yesterday and the absence
Of General James A. Walker has served
TO further cOmplicate the Virginia situa-
tions here. Colonel Lamb visited the
Capitol to-day, end also called again at
the Treasury. where he IS said TO have
had another interview with Secretary
Gage. He also had a consultation with
Congressman NOst
Colonel Lamb favors McCaull for the
collectorship. while the opposing faction
Of the State Committee champions Park
Agnew. It is not known how General
Walker stands with regard TO this APP
pointment. Should the President APP
point either one of the men named, il
would be an unmistakable indication of
his policy I'm the dispensatlon Of patron
age in Virginia. and would unquestion-
ably cause a serious split I'm the party.
with this view Of the matter, it is the
belief that Mr. Mckinley will not make
any appointment until the warning fac
tons come together and agree upon
candidate for the position.
Colonel Lamb left for home this eve
ming. going 10y the way Of Baltimore.
National Committeeman Bowden, who Is
a supporter of Park Agncw's, is stu
here.
Robert J. Walker. the defeated Repub-
Hcan candidate for Congress in the
Seventh District. who wants the mar
shalship Of the Western District IS here,
and called at the White House to-day.
