Concerning Ben Schuster's appoint
ment as nsul.general to Mexico, the Ell
Paso Evening Telegraph says: ben
Schuster's many friends in this city are
well pleased to hear of his good fortune
in the almost absolute certainty of his
selection as consul-general to Mexico, to
succeed General Crittendon. 1t requires
q little stretch of the imagination to
imagine Ben in this position, but then he
will prove himself equal to the emerg-
ency. x
The application of W. J. Slaughter, of
Santa Fe, for appointment as receiver of
the U. =. land Office in this city has been
filed IN the department of the interior.

ments. He is the only oolored man in
New Mexico, who is an applicant for
federal appointment and many leading
New Mexico Republicans have indorsed
him. If appointed, tie general impres.
sion is that he will make good and
competent official.

many of the supporters of Judge Nor
rison, understanding that he has with

Governor Prince. The matter, 80 advices
from Washington state, will be definitely
decided within the next three days.

plicants for the office of internal revenue
collector for New Mexico and Arizona.
In addition to Hon. E. s. Stover, F. @.
Mckinley and Benjamin johnson now
comes the news from Washington to the
effect, that Colonel A. W. Harris, of AL
buquerque, called on the president in
company with Delegate Ferguson and
presented his papers and claims for the

Marcus Brunswick, of Las Vegas, jacob
Weltmer, of Santa Fe, F. U. Duff, of 80
zorro, W. L. Merrill, of Deming, John s.
CLARK, of Las Vegas, and Colonel Richard
Hudson, of Silver City. The latter has
the strongest territorial Endorsements.
George Crist, of Nogales, and j. M. Mo-
MILAN, of Tucson, are Arizona applicants
as far as heard from.
