marSnal, district attorney ana collector OF
customs are to be appointed yet.
Morris NJ. Estee of California is to be
United States judge, and a Mr.. Rey of Hi
nois is to be marshal. These are about the
only appointments which will go to citizens
outside the island.
For Territorial Judge.
Senator Mcbride of Washington and his
brother, DR.. Mcbride, were visitors at the
White House today, accompanied by Judge
E. Caypless of Honolulu. Senator Mcbride
is endeavoring to secure Judge Caypless'
appointment as a territorial Judge for Ha-
waii. There are five of these places, two
in Honolulu and one each on other import
ant islands.
Senator Mcbride is one of the most SAN
guine of the republican leaders as to the re-
suit of this years presidential contest. He
advocates the nomination of Senator Fair
banks for Vice President, but believes that
the republican ticket will win, no matter
who IS nominated. Il know that there is
just little scare on now" said Senator
Mcbride, but it will be of benefit to US.
There is not the slightest probability of the
republicans being defeated this fall. l oc-
casionally hear some man say that repuhli-
can chances have slightly lessened but
there is no real foundation for such an opin-
ion. President Mckinley will be safely and
easily reelected, and the republican triumph
will equal that of four years ago.

venton of few days ago. 1t is said that
