Interesting Cases.
The most interesting of these is that of
B. F. Daniels for marshal of Arizona to
succeed Colonel Myron McCord, with the
two Mississippi nominations next. The
President has nominated a democrat for
United States attorney of the southern dis
| trict Of Mississippi, and a man of the same
faith for marshal of the same district. 1t
| is stated by Mississippi democrats that Mr..
Lee has always affiliated with the regular
democratic organization, and does not now
belong to what is called the commercial
democracy in some of the southern states.
Mr. Lee is spoken of most highly by Sem
ators Money and McLaurin. 1t is said that
the President is simply carrying out his an
nounced policy of appointing democrats in
states where competent republicans can
not be found. A democrat succeeds Mar
| shal Collins, but it is said that Mr.. Collins
was above the average as representative
| of the republican party in Mississippi.
Went to a wedding.
President Roosevelt had many visitors
during the morning, but disposed of them
| quickly, as he had promised to attend the
| marriage Of Senator Foraker's daughter.
Accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt the Presi-
| dent left the White House shortly before
noon. Those of his callers who did not
get to talk with him he invited to return
tomorrow.

Washington as the representative Of the
Panama Canal Company, to attempt to dis

was presented to the President by Admiral
MOL L. he lott hod fret ho1
talk with the President. Mr.. Lampre had
nothing to say to the chief executive in
the way of business. Whatever he has in
this line will be presented to Admiral
Walker and the iSthmian canal commits
sion.
The Case of Judge NOyes.
The general expectation that Judge Ar
thur H. Noyes will not be given a renomi-
nation as judge of the Cape Nome district
of Alaska has led to the presentation of
candidates to succeed him. Several names
are already before the President and he
is giving them consideration. He will not
dispose OF the case until he has received
report from the Attorney General, who is
now investigating the charges against Judge
Noyes.
Senator Kearns of Utah and Col. Perry
Heath talked with the President today
about some offices and people in Utah. Sen
ator Kearns has recommended A. B. Hayes
states attorney at Ogden, Utah, for judge
Of the Nome district, to succeed Judge
Moves.

which is now his home.
THE people are solid for expansion and
I haven't yet seen a free trader" said Col.

and will continue to be so for many years."

New Deal Wanted I'm Arkansas.
The Powell Clayton regime has had sue
cessful control of republican politics in Ar
kansas for many years and numerous at
tempts have been made to change the
deal" A fresh attempt is to be made. In
fact, it had already begun when three Ar
kansas republicans saw the President this
morning. These men were B. NJ Foreman
of Texarkana, H. F. -Auten, republican can
didate for governor in 1898, and w. D. Mat
thews a newspaper man. They are urging
that some of the recommendations of the
machine be turned down. They are not op-
posing all the recommendations, but de-
clare that the machlne-haS controlled af-
fairs so long and so badly that it has prac-
tically wrecked the party.
Judge Advocate Lemly Calls.

Of the Navy Department, was with the
President for a short while this morning.
