VIRGINIA FEDERAL OFFICES.
Bitter Fight for Two Good
Pl0ceA

Many Virginia republicans are in Wash
ington, and the absorbing topic in Vir-
ginia circles Is the western judicial district
patronage. The office of district attorney
has been vacant since the democratic in
bent, A. j. Montague, retired to quail
ify as attorney general of the state. 'On
tLis account Attorney General McKenna
has urged the President to act promptly,
and tomorrow Thursday the appoint
ment of district attorney and a marshal
will be made.
over these two places there has been a
singularly bitter fight. A majority of the
republican executive committee of Virginia
have been working for ]. Hampton Hoge
for the attorneyship, and all the members
of the committee, except Congressman
James A. Walker, have been pushing the
claims of F. S. Brown Allen for the mar
shalship. Representatives Walker and
Yost, the only republican congressman from
the state. have been doing all in their
power to prevent Aliens appointment The
commissioner of internal revenue, n. b.
Scott d member of the national committee,
He is for Hoge and Allen respectively,
and this afternoon he is to the PreSi-
dent and have these two names agreed
upon if possible. If the President should
decide not to appoint Hoge it is thought
that he will appoint Judge Waddel's cam
didate, ]. L. Gleaves.

OMAHA EXPOSITION STAMPS.
Many Designs Submitted to the Post
Office Department.

The proposed issue of stamps by the Post
Office Department to commemorate the
trans-Mississippi exposition, to be held at
Omaha this year, promises to be a valua-
BILE collection to the art treasures of the
department.
Upward of 100 designs have an submit
ted. There are to be but five different
stamps, and these will very likely bear re-
productions of drawings designed to recall
the history of the country. One that has
been practically decided upon will repre-
sent a buffalo grazing on a prairie. An
other will doubtless bear the picture of one
of the famous scouts of the section who
participated in its early history. Another
will show field of waving grain with a
modern reaper and binder in the fore
ground. with a representation of farmer
in the background harvesting with the old
time cradle. One of the neatest sketches
received shows a wagon train crossing the
prairie, while another, and the one which
will probably form one of the designs,
shows the big bridge across the Mississippi
at Rick Island the first bridge that ever
spanned the father of waters

point advances in the traction stocks. The

but The bulk of it is, apparently. for the
account OF the clique originally identified
with the advance.
With the exception of these shares there
was little else Of interest in the general
market. London reported better de-
mand for all classes of investment issues,
as the result OF easier money at that CEN
ter. but the demand was scarcely reflected
on this side
The granger shares lacked buoyancy, and
while not especially weak were decidedly
neglected.
The Gas issues were the subjects of some
realizing sales and were barely steady. the
declining tendency being a trife the more

HANNA GAINING STRENGTH.
Is the Claim of His Mnnagers-kurtx
still Confident.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS. Ohio, January 4.-The man.
ayers of Senator Hanna's senatorial cam
paign claim today that they are gaining
strength and are sure that Griffith Of
Union, Joyce Of Guernsey and Manuel Of
Dayton, who bOlted the republican house
caucus. will vote for Senator Hanna, and
this will elect him.
1t must be admitted, however, that all the
open movements of the day bearing upon
the senatorial situation indicated a
Strengthening of the Kurtz fusion organiza-
ton. In the senate, Senator Burke, whose
absence yesterday enabled the democrats
TO Organize that body. returned today and
was IN his seat, but he voted with the
democrats on every party question. thus
showing that he is in an agreement as gen.
orally supposed with the Hanna opposition
The claim of the Hanna managers that
they have the support of Representative
joyce Is weakened by the fact that a num-
Der of Joyce's friends were solicited by
them this morning to see Joyce and try to
induce him to break away from the COM
bDation.
AS for Griffith. he has one of the best
oHlces secured by the fusion organization
ana would hardly abandon 1t at this time
and, on the whole, the chances for securing
the election of Mr.. Hanna seem to be grow
ing worse.
The republicans who have Solted the cau-
Gus have burned the bridges behind them
The only thing they can do to gain victory
OF any kind now is to press forward in the
course they have started in.
