Other Appointments.

Washington, March .j6.-Thea presi-
dent sent to the senate Thursday the
nomination of W..D. Crum (colored) to
be collectorSof the port of Charleston,
S. c. This will be the second nom
nation of Crum, the senate at. the ses-
sion just closed having failed to con-
firm, him.
The nomination of DR.. Crum was
reported adversely by the senate
commerce committee of the Fifty
seventh congress. His denomination
will be referred to the same commit
tee, but owing to changes in the
personnel of the committee, the pres
ident expects a favorable report on
it. It is understood to be the pres
ident's intention not to exercise spe-
cial influence to secure favorable
action OF the nomination. In the
event of it's rejection by the senate,
it is unlikely that the appointment
will be renewed. It is simply the
desire of the president to have a
vote of the senate on the nominal
ton. He thinks the appointee is en-
titled to that.

I At the conclusion of the conference
it was announced that Messrs. Judson

May Strike Without Orders.
The possibility of the firemen and
trainmen of the Wabash striking as in
dividuals, without waiting for word
from their leaders, is now being dis
cussed. 1t is stated that the men are
ready to go,oud at a moments notice.
Unless President Ramsey yields it is
further declared that engineers, con-
ductors, ~telegraphers, brakemen and
trackmen, to the number of $4,000, may
become involved in the struggle.
Rumors of a secret compact between
the men and the leaders to go out even
if the dissolvation of Judge Adams in
junction is not granted are abundant.
The rules of the brotherhood prohib-
it striking without sanction of the
grand masters of the order.
At Wabash headquarters everything
was reported quiet and the men still
