The COLLECTORsHIP.- The announce
ment In some of the morning papers
that Mr.. Park Agnew, of this city, had
been appointed U. S. Collector of In.
ternal Revenue for this district was
premature. As has been heretofore
stated Mr.. Agnew will be appointed to
the position and has been assured OF
this, but the appointment has not yet
been made. During a visit to the
White House day or two since
Representatives Yost and Walker
were told by the President that he had
determined to appoint Mr.. Agnew, so
this settles the matter. II is said that
in making the announcement the Presi-
dent expressed regret that he could not
approve of the recommendation OF
M.ssrs. Yost and Walker, and stated
that he did not give this appointment
in recognition of any party faction in the
State. Mr.. Agnew is q we'll known
business man of Alexandria, where he
has large interests. He is also the head
of the well-known firm of ]. P. Agnew
& Co., of Washington, and is largely in
tsrested in coal shipments from t. Q
Maryland West Virginia fields. The
appointment will be an excellent
one, and will be very gratifying to Mr..
Agnew's friends of both political parties
in this city and vicinity. Mr.. Agnew,
who is member OF the republican ex-
ecutive committee, was endorsed by his
colleagues, Judge Edmund Waddill, of
Richmond, and Col. James d. Brady,
of Petersburg, national committeeman
Geo. E. Bowden, General Edgar Allan,
and other prominent republicans Of the
State. 1t is also said he had the inAu-
ence of Senator Mark Hanna.
Until he receives the appointment he
will say nothing as to what changes he
will make in the Office or the location,
which is now in Lynchburg. Most of
the officers under him are protected by
he civil service rule.
