King George paused to add effect TO

George on his English joke, and offer him

thin air and disappeared, leaving only the
echo OF a gleeful chuckle behind him.

WAITING FOR THE pLuMs TO DROP
Speculation as to Republican APP
pointees I'm Alexandria.


ALEXANDRIA, VA. February "
Special -Speculation is rife as TO the
new appointees for the Federal ofices In
this city. The term Of Mr.. Thomas ROBIN
son, Collector OF the port, Will expire on
the 2ith instant For this position Messrs.
Marshall L. King and Edward Hughes
are prominently mentioned. Mr.. King IS
a son OF Charles King. the well-known
merchant OF Alexandria and Charlottes-
Vile, and represents the younger element
OF the Republican party here. MIR
Hughes is a Grand Army OF the Republic
man, and is the choice or the greater
portion Of the older residents. II Is
thought that the plum Will fall 10 Mr.
King. In that event the Office OF Deputy
Collector will be rendered Mr.. James
Johnson, who for a number OF years was
connected with the United States inter-
nal-Revenue Service.
II is now generally admitted that MT.
Joseph Crupper. chairman OF the CITY
Republican Committee, will succeed POST
master Carlin, though It is understood
that Mr.. A. A. Warfield Mr.. Ctupper's
principal opponent, has by no means
given up the fight. Mr.. Crupper however,
has the support OF the Agnew faction,
whose influence with the administration
seems to be all-powerful just at present.
Collector Park Agnew, it is said, VIII
probably appoint his brother, Mr.. A. II.
Agnew, to the deputy collectorship made
vacant by the resignation Of Mr.. Samuel
l.. Monroe, who was recently erected
Clerk of the City Gas Department. Wnen
It became known some weeks ago tnat
Mr.. Monroe would probably leave the
revenue service Captain Fountain Beat
tie was mentioned as his probable sue
cessor. but there has evidently been a
change in the plans OF the Collector.
