Owing to the inability of Senators Scott
and Elkins to agree upon candidate for
Judge of the new federal district or west
Virginia. the President has long delayed
this important appointment, but 1t is ex-
pected that something will be done within
a short time. BY the terms of the act
which created the new district the law De-
comes operative on July 1. The President
desires to make the appointment pe-
fore that time, and there must De an carry
agreement between the two senator's SEN
ator Scott is understood to have named
three men, any one of whom would be
agreeable to him. Senator Elkins Will
come to Washington tonight and Will reach
a conclusion this week. Several proml-
nent West Virginians are here awaiting the
senator's return from New York. Among
them are Taylor Vinson, Eliot Northcott,
D. E. Hughes. Capt. c. d. Elliott and Judge
Dooittle of the state circuit court. Mr..

Senator Elkins saw the President about
a week ago but owing to Mrs. Mckinley's

ing the President will probably see more
callers and transact more business TINS

portunity to bring up the west Virginia
cases.
