DEMOCRATS WORRIED OVER At
TlruDE OF REPUBLICANS TO-
WARD APPOINTMENTS.
MAY BLOCK CONFIRMATION
OF MANY PosTMAsTERs
congressman Worried for Fear Sena-
tors Will Retaliate Because TAFT
Appointments Were Held Up-No
Agreement as to Concerted Action
Vet Reaehed-TroubIs for Extra SEES
sion.
Especial correspondence

Washington, April l. = Democratic
members of the house and senate and
democratic office seekers are not a
little worried over the question OF
what is going to be the attitude Of the
republican senators with respect to the
confirmation of appointments.
The question not yet definitely an
swered is how far the republicans Of
the senate are going in their efforts to
block the confirmation of appoint
ments made by President Wilson
In the extra session of the senate,
the republican senator's showed little
disposition to block the confirma ton
of appointments. Republican leaders
would not listen to suggestions that
the ca bfnet appointments be held up.
AND they did not seek to block other
appointments made by the president,
with few exceptions. In fact the
Only important appointment made bE
the PRESIDENT which was blocked was
that of DR.. Charles P. Neill as com
missioner of labor and this was
blocked by democrats not by republl-
cans.
But when the extra session opens.
there will be a deluge of appointments.
In this deluge, will be postoffice APP
pointments by the hundred. So far as
the democratic congressman are con-
cerned, the postmasterships are the
backbone of the patronage they have
to dispense. They are anxious to nave
nominations for these places go thru
without trouble.
Way Open to ReprisaIs.
Realizing that the tactics OF the
democratic senators last session, in
blocking the Taft appointments,
opened the path to reprisals and that
these tactics have stirred up much
criticism as being a sort Of peanut
politics." there is much inquiry among
democratic members of the house con-
corning the course the republican SEN
ators are going to take. Announce
ment Of concerted policy to block
corfirmations on the part Of republic
can senator's would give large share
OF the democratic side Of the house
heart failure. Generally speaking, the
postmas ters are appointed on the rec
concentration of house members. 1t is
the larger patronage which the SEN
ators dispense. Hence the anxiety OF
house democrats as to the postofflces.
Indications are the republican SEN
ators will find ways to hold back con-
firmations of a large number OF ap-
pointments. Some of the more fiery
members on the republican size
wanted to do 1t in the recent extra
session Of the senate. The class OF
appointees for which the republican
senators are likely to make trouble
ara those selected for offices which In
the regular course OF expiratons Pres
ident Taft sought to fill. The only rea-
son the democratic senators had for
preventing nominations in such cases
was that they wanted the jobs. When
it comes to filling these places with
democrats, lot Of the republican SEN
ators feel they ought to balk and balk
hard.

Horse Market Steady.

Chicago, April l. Horse trade
started out in fair shape this week
with moderate run and a full compile
ment of buyers. No material change
in last weeks price list was noted. but
more urgent orders gave the market a
slightly better tone. Considerable buy
ing of farm chunks and mares of de-
sirable quality and weight helped trade
materially. Increased orders from Bos-
ton and New York also featured the
market. High grade horses of big
weight. however. are extremely scarce
In the country and orders for this
class are hard to fill Altogether mar
ket is in good shape, but trade in farm
stuff is expected to weaken shortly

Favored Negro Melodies.

Gladstone was not merely a rapf
listener 20 the Christy Ministries when
they were in London many years ago.
Lord Malmesbury's diary contains
this passage: Gladstone, who was
always fond Of music, is now quite
enthusiastic about negro melodies,
singing them with the greatest spirit
and enjoyment, never leaving out
verse, and evidently preferring such
as Camp Town Races.

Chicago April because of a good
demand, especially for light hogs. the
market today opened generally cents
higher, speculative buying being in evil
dence at the start, Shipping demand
later eased off and the market became
dull. most of the early advance being
lost. A new high point for the year was
reached in the early trading in light
hogs, which sold up to $685., the lat
ter sales of the better grades occasion
ally touching $3.50.
Receipts Monday were estimated
early at $4,000, but soon were cut 70
$4,000, which looked nearest the prob
able number to arrive. Mondays re-
ceipts were many more than the gem
eral trade looked for. A week ago So
47S were received at Chicago, a year
ago 1888 arrived, while two years ago
44,159 hogs were offered for sale. There
were 2,2s7 head held over from Sat
urday.
Cattle.
Larger receipts of cattle than had
been expected served to cause an easier
tone.
Cows selling at s6@6.5o and heifers
at s7-5O@7.15 look so radically out of
line with cheap steers that readjust-
ment is inevitable especially il the
steer market continues its present
downward course What would happen
to medium cows and heifers If Texas
cut loose a run Of fat grassers may be
imagined. Despite current high prices,
few cows and heifers are coming, the
logical inference being that they are
not in the country. Growers are not
disposed to sacrifice COWS apable OF
raising good calves. and even dairy
yard cullS are scarce. The season is
at hand when the butcher market
usually goes over series Of bumps,
but the fact that packers have no re-
serve may make difference this seas
on. altho the danger signal is flying.
The railroad situation looked some
what better. Fort Wayne road officials
announced intention to furnish cars
and there was no trouble about getting
cattle shipments thru to Atlantic sea-
board points, but large flooded section
is still out Of the beef market. an ad-
verse influence not to be ignored. Like
wise stocker and feeder trade in lndi-
ana Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Nirginias
and Kentucky is tied up and that con-
dition does the fat cattle market no
good.
Sheep.
Slackness Of eastern demand helped
to depress the sheep market Live
mutton business was about steady but
other items were lower.
Colorado-fed lambs still comprise
the bulk Of supply, but the run from
that quarter will continue all thru
April and well along into May, posi-
bly, overlapping the Tennessee run as
was the case last year.
