A SURPRISE.
The appointment Of Alonza Yates, OF
Virginia, as Consul 10 Patras, Greece,
was a surprise to all Of the Virginians
here. except Colonel Pat McCaull, who Is
his local endorser for the place.
Mr.. Yates is a New Yorker, who mas
lived about five years in Alexandria coun-
ty, where he purchased part or the
Well-known Bradley estate, upon when
he built a beautiful Colonial home, which
he has recently sold to Colonel Doubble-
day, of Ohio.
Yates Is said to be a man OF consider
able means, and TO have purchased other
property, on which he intends TO build
again.
Mr.. Yates married a daughter of Mr..
George Dennings. Of Cleveland, o. He is
a strong Republican, and great adj
mirer of Colonel McCaull, whom he aided
In the recent election.
The consular post Patras, to when
Yates is appointed, Is a city of some
forty thousand Inhabitants, but the posi-
ton pays only $1,000 per annum, with fees,
which perhaps bring the amount up TO
about 1850.
Colonel McCaull is little proud OF con-
trolling this foreign plum. and some or
the post-office appointments In the Eighth
District. He says he was never an actual
candidate for the marshalship OF the
Eastern District Of Virginia, 20 when
Morgan Treat was appointed to-day. he
had another object I'm allowing his name
10 be presented for that position, which
object was accomplished very satisrac-
toTily to him.
Mr.. Treat is in receipt OF numerous con-
gratulatory kilograms tonight from Rich
mond and other points in the district.

CONGRESSMAN MARTIN.
The failure to locate Congressman Mar |
tin, OF North Carolina, last night, after |
his eccentric performance in the House |
lobby yesterday. was due to the stupidity |
OF his lodging house keeper. To two Popu- |
list representatives and two newspaper |
men, who called at different times during |
the evening for him. positive statement !
was made that Martin had not returned /
TO the house since he left In the early |
forenoon.

statement to-day. was in his room all the
evening. having Rtired about s o'clock.

served nothing unusual in his manner.

day. and said that he was going to the
Capitol, but had not made his appearance
there up 70 the hour OF adjournment.

ercion to go to the House aad vote on
