VIRGINIA OFFICES.

At a Cabinet meeting yesterday the
papers relating to several appointments
were taken up, and it is understood
that some appointments were deter
mined upon, but no information con-
corning them was made public. Among
these appointments are those of collector
of customs and postmaster at Norfolk.
The collectorship is especially sought
by A number of candidates. George h.
Bowen, republican national committee
man. and Park Agnew, republican State
chairman of Virginia, have recommend
ed Major R. G. Banks for the collector
ship and Capt. H. B. Nichols for post
master to succeed Col. J. r. Waddy,
the incumbent. The two places are
more or less involved. The President
has not been following the recommends
tons of the Virginia organization as
closely as he could, and it is not likely
that he will follow the recommendations
in both of these cases. Major Banks IL
opposed by a number of candidates, the
strongest one at this time being HugL
Gordon Miller. Mr.. Miller has nevel
affiliated with the Virginia organization
but he has taken part in nearly every po
litical campaignin thecountry for mum
Der of years, speaking for the republican
ticket. Because of his activity in this d.
rection the President is disposed 10 name hin
for collector. The President is rewardlnt
republicans who actively aided in the Las
Congressional campaign, and among the Vir
einians who did duty in this line were Mr.
Miller and Col. J. Hampton ,Hoge, who ha
also been suggested for collector. Colone

zation sees fit to select him and recommend

r. Is sAIp that Speaker Henderson

fT IS SAID that Speaker Henderson
NAV be rewarded for his favorable at
titude on the question of trust leglsia-
ton at the present session of Congress.
Mr. Henderson has heretofore said that
it was not possible to enact on antitrust
law at the short session, and ne had
been listed with that clique of the re-
publican members who do not favor any
additional legislation on this subject at
present, but it is now reported that ne
has Welded to Presidential pressure and
that he will permit antitrust legislation
to come before the House for action at
this session. 1t appears that Speaker
Henderson can hope for little from Iowa
republicans. At the same time the
party at large recognizes his long SER
vice in Congress, and it is granted that
the Administration would favor any
movement to take care of him, now that
he has lost his grip in his own district
and is willing to 90 the bidding OF the
President.

man is satisfied with his district except

men must recollect that the redlstrlctIng

matter in the interest of the State and
not in the personal interests OF her rep
resentatiyes in Congress.

THE RESIGNATION Of Mr.. Lanham, OF
Texas, who has been elected governor oil
Texas, has been laid before the House
of Representatives, to take effect jan
uary IS. Mr.. Lanham, twill be remem-
bered, was the orator in this city on last
Memorial Day and his beautiful tribute
to the Confederate soldier and to the
people of the South will long be remem-
bered. He is one of the ablest members
in his States delegation and his wise
counsel will be missed in the national
halls of legislation. Those who best
know him believe that he will make as
wise and as able governor as he has a
representative in Congress.
