VACANT DISTRIC have to be Nominated Soon. As stated In yesterday's Stan, District Attorney Worthington’s terms of office expires on the 234 inst., and it 1s expected his successor will be nome nated by the President before that day in order to prevent an interregnum in the office. The law pro- Vides for temporarily filling vacancies in the office of district a:torney in the United States Judicial districts, but not in the District of Columbia. Sec- Uon 769 of the Revised Statutes says: “District at- torneys shall be appointed for a term of four years, and thelr commissions shail cease and expire at the expiration of tour years from thelr respective dates.” ‘Section 793 says: “In case of a vacancy tn the office of disiFict attorney or marshal within any circuit the cireuit Justice of such circuit may ul the same, and thé person appointed by him Shall serve until an appointment is made by the President, and the appointee is duly qualified, and no longer.” ‘This section, it 18 claimed, does not apply to the District of Columbla, 80 In éase of the failure of the President 10 nominate or of the Senate to 2onfirm, a successor wo Mr. Worthington before the 23d inst. the business of the office would come toa standstill. When Mr. Worthing- ton Was appointed there was an interregnum of ten days between the expiration of Col. Corkhill's commission and the day that Mr. Worthington qualined. Tt 1s ex that the President will nominate a new district attorney and a new post- master for Washington on the same day. THE LEADING CANDIDATES for the district attorneyship are Mr. H. E.

A BREAK IN THE OIL MARKET. Why Gladstone Will Not Go to Rome. NOT GOING TO ROME, jadstone Will Not Seek view with the Pope. Special Cable Dispatch to Tar, Evexino STAR. Loxpox, Jan. 14-1 learn, on the highest authority, that Gladestone himself says there is no truth in the statement so confidently made of his going to Rome. He never had any intention of 30 doing. In any case, if he had decided fo visit the Italian capital it is inconceivable that such a visit 1s to have any political object. Gladstone is secure of the support of a vast majority of the Irish people, With or without the support of the pope, and certainly it could not improve bis position with the ardent Protestant electors of Ulster, who, as shown on the electoral records, ate rapidly coming over to his views, if he appeared willing to make the slightest esstons to Rome. The author of “Vaticanisin” would not be a very ceptable guest at the vatican. Moreover, Glade Stone's s¥inpratutes in the recent renewal Of the dispute between the vatican and the quirinal are enlirely with King Humbert. Gladstone says the Teports of ls couversation on the Irish question in Paris are wholly apocryphal. This, however, Was ite clear to all acquainted with the subject, Since the interview represented Gladstone as making Dlunders ta matters in which he is better versed than any mn living.

A Letter Which Has Offended Repab- lican Catholics Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR. Loxpos, Jan. 14.—Among the numerous let- ters from the pope returning thanks for letters of congratulation on his jubilee, one to Prince Victor Bonaparte has given some offense to the republican Catholics in France. It ts writ- ten in a courtly style, as though the pope rece ognized the pretentions of Victor. This, how- ever, is merely a matter of form, the*pope’s inva- rable rule being to address people as they wish to be addressed. Even on one occasion he addressed the wretched imposter Naundorff, who claims to be theson of the Dauphin, son of Louls XVI, as duke of Normady. ‘This 18 so notoriously the pope's custom that French parvenus, adopting faucy t- Ues of nobility, purposely send gifts to Peter's Peuce in order’ to get a reply addressed to thelr asstmed name,and Uns they frame and hang up at ‘home, fondly hoping it will serve as a certificate of thelr uule, COREA ACTS FOR HERSELF, The Envoys is Country and Ea- Fope Sent in Defiance of China, Saw Francisco, Jan. 14.—Advices from China Per the steamer Gaelic, which arrived yesterday, are that previous to the sailing of the Corean em- Dassy to the Unitad States the king of Corea had received telegraphic instructions from the em- perer of China conveying the decree that Corea, in Sending envoys Lo Western states, must Nrst ask instructions, and that they shall not go until after consent is received, Which will then be in accord- ance with what 1s proper for a dependent state.
