the late Maj. Henry Richardson, OF
New Orleans. This state has fur
nished two aspirants for the place.
Capt. c. H. West, of Greenville, en-
gineer of the Mississippi levee board,
and Maj. T. G. Dabney, engineer of
the Yazoo-Missssippi delta levee
board The announcement comes
from Washington that the President
will not make this selection until
some time in January, and, as-the ap-
pointment will doubtless be based on
the recommendation of Secretary of
War Dickinson, there are good rea-
sons to believe that one of the Mis-
sissippi aspirants will be selected.
Judge Dickinson has announced that
he will not consider the matter until
after his return from Porto Rico.
