Disappointcd-Caus and Condi-
tions of the Contention and Strife
Among the Malcontents.

1t was another busy day at the White
House yesterday. Republicans from nearly
all the States were in evidence, aud as a
rule called with Senators and Represent ta-
tives In striking contrast with the con
tented looks of the officeseekers from
other States Were those OF Texans, Louis
ianians, Mississippians, and kentuckians,
the patronage OF which States is for the
nonce held up
This is occasioned in Kentucky hy the
prolonged Senatorlal deadlock, and in the
other three States by bitter factional
differences The Administration pur-
pose is TO DO nothing in these cases uhni
home differences are healed and poiiucal
harmony established
The tight in Louisiana is particularly
hitter, the Republican party there being
divided into three opposing factions one
wing isrepresente lby Z. F Herwig, another
5y Capt Winiberly, while Col. Howell, who
is the leader of the sugar planters, or
Lily whites, : is seeking by every means
in his power to control the patronage ofthe
State
President Mckinley has decided, how
ever that the patronage OF louisa nais TO z
given to representative men, irrespective
of the Observation-Disclosures to which they have
hitherto belonged, with the end in view Of
creating a solid and harmonious Renuhli-
can party in that State. In the neanw hile
no nominations are being made. although
there are a number OF important places TO
he filled, prominent among them being the
nj of bgA
port OF New Orleans.
There are number OF applicants for the
former position, including capt. Wimberly,
II C. Miner, eX-CongresSman II Dudley
Coleman and Gen. Behan II is generally
understood, however, that il facuonal diff
ferences are healed, 7 +. Herwig viii
be rendered the place. He is in no sense
a candidate for the position, however, but
il is salG would accept il if il were ten
dered him Another desirable office in
Louisiana is that of cciner of the mint
W H. Heating and DR.. Gourmet, both lead
ing Republicans oft the State, are applicants
for the position. Judge Thomas Brooks,
OF New Orleans, wants 10 be appointed
surveyor of the port, nd in all probability
will eventually land the place.
The same condition of affairs that exists
IL Louisiana s also TO be found in Texas,
where L. X. Green and Or. John Grant
are Cnntending for leadership. Green is
chairman of the State committee, while Ills
opponent is national committeeman. Both
claim To be original Mckinley ymen. and both
are equally anxious to control the spells.
Just what the outcD NJ Of the fight will be
is entirely II matter Of conjecture In the
meanwhile all nominations in the Lone Star
State are being held in abeyance IL might
be interesting in this connection TO know
that Green is the son of Hetty Green, Of
New York. who is reputedto be the wealth
Test woman in America. Green went to
TEXAS several years ago, and has ac-
CURED large interests in the State.
President Mckinley is beginning to tire
Of the persistency of those who want Of
flee, and il is notimprobable that the rules
will again have to be changed. The
President finds it impossible TO transact
the work that the duties of the office re-
Quire, and early yesterday morning in
structed Secretary Porter to allow no
one 30 see him unless on business of a
very important nature This was found
impractiCable. however. on account of the
large number OF people who demanded 10
see Mt. Mckinley A $ many OF the inn
Fortunate ones were Senators and Repre-
sentatives. the Presidents secretary did
not find it an easy mai tier to exclude
them, and finally had TO abandon the
imperative orders that his chief had laid
down for him early in the day One of
the more notable callers at the White
House yesterday was Col. Buck, the Re
publican leader of Georgia, who has lately
been appointed minister to Toxic
Col. Bucks mission to the White House
was for the purpose of haTi1G mlitaryof-
ficer attached to his legation He sug-
geSted to the President Major John l..
Glenn as the proper man to fill the place.
Major ClenI served with distinction through
out the civil war, and was known as the
Drummer Boy of Shiloh. On account of his
he was promoted to the rank Of
lieutenant At the present time he is at
al Fort Mcpherson, Atlanta, Ga, holding
the position Of quartermaster general.
Col Buck also took occasion TO recon-
mend the following Georgians for office:
Walter johnson is United States marshal
and Fl p Farrow for an authorship in
the Treasury Department Col Buck told
a Ilines reporter tidt he eApetleu toledNe
for Toxic about May 10. As yet he has
not decided upon his secretaries. Another |
caller at the White House |
was Senator Wellington of Maryland, who |
saw the President in reference to the |
appointment of George T. Eustis, who |
wants to be appointed to a consulate in |
Denmark. Mr.. Eustis is nephew of the |
present minister TO France, but unlike his |
relative is a Republican
The Maryland Senator also urged Mr.. |
Mckinley to appoint W S. Hpgge com
missioner Of railroads to succeed Gen.
Wade Hampton. Mr.. Hegge is at present /
District passenger agent of the Ball
1more and Ohio Railroad. Mr.. yelling
on also suggested the appointment of
