Galveston. Tex, March PA spe-
cial dispatch from Washington to the
News today contains the following:
Myron 7. Herrick, of Cleveland, O.,
who was one of the chief advisers and
fighters for Mckinley, is here, the
guest of the president at the White
House. He has been such guest for
the past two or three days. This
morning he went down town to the
hotel wher Grant stops and when the
emerged he and Grant were arm in
arm, and in this way went to the
White House grounds, and the last
seen of them they were going into the
mansion. From all of which it can be
seen tnat Grant is getting very thick
with the people who nave the import
ant task of distributing the offices.
Grant is more smiling over the pros
poets than he has ever been, The rea-
| son of his excessive confidence today
is that he has received a good many
| kilograms from members of the eX-
ecutive committee in Texas, commend
| ing him for the position he has taken
| and giving him to understand that
| they will back him. The thing that
seems to strike them all with admira-
ton Il mean the boys in the trenches)
is that Grant says that they must be
taken care of before he is mentioned
| in connection with any office. He ad-
heres to this, and very naturally those
| who want office admire his position.
The appointment of the postmaster
| or postmistress at Paris will, in all
probability, be made early next week.
At the postoffice department it is said
that this will be the case, Grant has
not Signified whom he wants appoint
ed, but it is thought he will make his
selection on Monday. From all APP
pearences the man or woman he Sc
lects will be appointed. There is va
cancy there that must be filed, and
the pOStOffice department wants to fill
it at once.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the row in the state between the fac
| tons, it is admitted that in the dis.
| trict represented by Congressman
Hawleiy. that gentleman will select
the pOstmaSterS. Grant told me that
he conceded the right of Hawley to
| select them.

A STREET BARGAIN.

The Presa street macadtmizing is
at present stopped until the city coun-
Gil can pass an ordinance authorizing
the work. The work was ordered SIM
ply by resolution of the last council
and this does not afford the contract
or much protection. The contractor
says he is willing to complete the work
from Alamo street clear out to the city
limit in a satisfactory manner for the
sum of $500 if the city will furnish
the gravel and the steam rollers. This
would bring the entire cost up to
about $1,000, which is very cheap.

SEWER FUND
Is Running Short and May Not Meet
All the Requirements.

All the Requirements.
One of the purposes of the confer
ence of the mayor, the sewer commit
tee and Judge Clark, of the Green
vile Construction company yesterday
was to discuss the serious problem of
how to spin out the remainder of the
sewer fund, to make it possible to give
the Fifth and Sixth wards at least
their pro rata of sewers.
The contract with the Greenville
Construction company and the city
provides for the laying of sewers ac-
cording to specifications and contract
price for the sum of S22S.O0O, the
streets on which sewers are to be laid
to be designated by the city engineer.
Sewers have been very plentifully laid
in all the wards except the Sixth and
part of the Fifth and there is but the
sum of about $4,000 remaining in the
fund, with a suit against $4,000 of
this.
This problem may possibly necessi-
tate some changes in the sewer sys-
tenn as at present outlined
