col. Frank Cnlbertson, Who has
been in Washingtop City I, Ter
several weeks past returned F.,
day morning,
He reports things lively in Vie
Capitol City at tits time, The
present session of congress, to-
Sether with The numerous visitors
serving to add n luster OF bril-
iinncy To Che surroundings.
y His return at this time was due
nj part to'the fact that it, was
evident that no action would be
taken with referrnce to the APP
Ipointment Of II postmasteriat this
place, for awhile at least, Other
matters demanding the attention
tof the officials. .l 's,.t... .a f.
Col. Culbertson is very much
encouraged at the outlook, and
expressed himself as being as CON
fident of appointment. rs ut any
time since the contest was in
augurated. l...-.' .
He is looking we'll and says he
enjoyed his stay very much.
The following from Il Washing

dated January 30, may explain
the situations: The president

reached. -
1t is understood here that
Lyon and Hawley are divided on
tie san Angelo postmostership,
one being for Blanchard and the
Iotler for Culhert-on.

agreement he is against Lyon
too. Mcdonald IS still in town
and as kilograms addressed t.
Green have been arriving here
for two or three days past, it j.

just what is with the Texas stun

"The following is another Pos
