at the appointment.
Washington, July H.-"Perry M De
Leon Of Georgia to be consul general to
Guayaquil, Ecuador" Thus reads one OF
the Presidents appointments sent to the
Senate to-day
The long-deayed list of foreign appoints
ments reached the Senate about o'clock
this afternoon. II was generally known
the list would be delivered to the Senate
some time during the afternoon, conse-
quently Mr.. DeLeon was at the capitol
to receive the glad tidings. He was con-
graduated by several members of tho
Georgia colony upon his good fortune. He
attributes his success principally to the
good offices of Mai. Hanson. The latter
made personal request of the President
aud backed up that request by other in
dorsements. He was also indorsed by
Gen. Longstreet. Judge Speer, Tom john
son of Savannah, Walter Johnson, Marion
Erwin, Representative Lester. and also
Senators Bacon and Clay. He did not
have the Endorsement of Col. Buck. al
though the latter stated that he would
not antagonize Mr. DeLeon's appoints
ment.
Mr. DeLeon claims Savannah as his
home, and says he will return there In
for
for his new post of duty. lie hopes to
make a good commercial record In the
consular service, for he believes there Is
a wide field for energetic labor there His
salary will be $500 per annum. He will
have a vice consul and a clerk under
him. The vice consul has been in tho
service some time and he will be retained.
Mr.. DeLeon has rendered the office OF
clerk to Mr. Foster OF Atlanta. but 1t is
doubtful whether It VIII be accepted. as
the compensation is but 81 600 a year.
The republican politicians in the Georgia
colony are not rejoicing with Mr.. DeLaon
in his good fortune. They feel that their
interests are being neglected by the ad-
minis tration, and It would be more grati-
flying to them II the list Of nominations
had contained the names of Judson Ly-
ons. Walter Corbett. Joe Doyle or Harry
Blum. They do not recognize Mr.. De-
Leon as a full-hedged republican worker.
and they are disposed to marvel at Maj.
Hauson's influence with the President.
It Is said that the President has given
Judson Lyons and those OF the Georgia
legislature who talked with him recently,
assurances that Rucker will be appointed
collector OF internal revenue. Lyons had a
very satisfactory interview with the Pres
ldent and Secretary Gage yesterday, and
he says he is convinced that Mr.. Rueker
viii be appointed. As 10 the other ap-
pointments, Lyons declined to make a pre-
diction lie is having some success at the
postonice department, for to-day he Sc
cured the appointment Of John Gardner
at Glenmore and c. p. Hairston. at Bow
man.
Harry Blum. Jr., has not yet been abls
to secure his expected talk with Postmas-
ter General Gary, relative TO the pOstoffics
at Savannah.
The President to-day also sent the fol-
lowing nominations to the Senate;
william l.. Merry OF California, to bs
minister TO Nicaragua, Costa Rica aud
Salvador.
Horace n. Allen Of Ohio, to be minister
resident and consul general 10 Korea
There was also a long list Of consuls.
