WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE disposi-
tion Of federal appointments OF West Vir-
ginEa has been made and in addition to
the selection Of Mr.. Gaines as district at
torney. and the choice OF his two aSSlSt-
ants announced in the Intelligencar to-
day, Hon. Thomas Z. Davis, Of Grafton,
will be the collector Of internal revenue.
and Col. John X. Thompson, will be
Omitted States marBhaL
Hon. George Bewers. OF AlartnSburg'
has been assured OF appointment a. h1h
commissioner, position equal in I'M
portance to tho ono no sought, the rove
nue. collec.orshlp, and It is believed he
will accept. The settlement of the pat
ronage problem was not definitely known
until to-day. II was for a time ques-
tlon whether or not the very strong inhu"
cnoes brought to bear for the appoint
ment Of Editor A. B. White, OF Parkers-
burg, to tho collectorship would prevail,
but the President has said that the ar
ranEement made by the states delega-
ton will receive his endorsement ana
that arrangement Is indicated in the tore-
going.
II Is understood the selection Of district
attorney docs not meet the approval OF
Mr.. Dorr. Necessarily, the choice OF Mr..
Davis for the collectorship will not bS
approved by the Third district repTOsen-
tatIve, as he desired that appointment for
his district. Had Mr.. White been chosen
collector, It would have achieved the
same result, so far az Mr. DorT's district
Is concerned, which proves, OF course.
that his objections TO Mr.. Davis are NOT
personal. His contention was IN oehAt
OF his own candidate, q worthy Third dio-
trict man, not against any other candl-
date, on personal grounds.
The nomination Of the collector WI nos
be made for several weeks, and Wned
made, will not be effective until the tefm
OF the Incumbent shall expire. 6oout June
30, the marshalBhip will probably be dis
nosed OF about that time. The nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Gains will doubtless Do Ssnt
10 the senate early next week.

solution OF the rail pool lowered prices
from SOS to SIS per ton, and the disrup-
ton OF the billet pool was followed by a

that cut In the pool price OF beams

that the price will 80 below cent per

The nbrogation OF the pooling ar
