Special to the Register.


Washington, d. c., May 19.-As mat
ters now stand, there is strong proba-
bility that Hon. n. B. Scott, of Wheel
ing, will not be Commissioner of In
tsrnal Revenue under this administra-
ton, although he and his friends have
all along regarded his appointment as
a certainty.
1t appears that Secretary of the
Treasury Gage has been offended by
lIr. Scott's assumption that he was to
have the place. especially by published
interviews in which Mr.. Scott has made
this claim.
Mr.. Scott has acted on the theory ap-
parently that Secretary Gage had moth
ing to say about who should be Com
missioner of Internal Revenue.
1nis was a grave mistake.
Mr. Gage is running his department
himself, and the President has made no
appointments in it except on the sug-
gestion of the Secretary.
There is no doubt Mr.. Gage has been
strongly prejudiced against Mr. Scott
for the reasons given and for other rea-
sons, and if the Wheeling man gets the
Commissionership of Internal Revenue
it will be after he has made his fight
for the place over again, keeping the
Secretary in mind all the time
But the chances now are he will not
get the place at all.
Open war seems on the point Of
breaking out between Congressman
Dorr and Senator Elkins over the Dis
trict Attorneyship. The Senator de-
sires to have Joseph H. Gains. of Char
lesion. nominated for the place, and his
declaration that he would be nominat-
ed brought Col. Horan, of Nicholas
county, Mr.. DORIS candidate, to Wash
ington to-day and they have been doing
everything in their power to stave off
action and induce Elkins to change his
plans. But as far as can be learned to-
night. Elkins still insists on Gains, and
if the latter is nominated by the Presi-
dent it will be followed by the hardest
sort Of factional fight in the Third
district.
