AMONG THEM THREE FROM THIS DISTRICT—NAMES FOR DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS PRESENTED—THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE WILL TRY TO APPOINT AN , ACCEPTABLE MAN “‘FREE FROM RING CONTROL.” This was a day of delegations with the Presi- dent. About 1 o'clock he went down to the 0 } east room to see the people wating there to pay their respects. All the day up to that hour was spent in listening to congressmen and delega- tions. His private office and the cabinet roon were crowded during the morning, ‘and as a rule whatever the visitors wanted to say had to be cut very short. They were hurried through as quickly as possible. An exception to this rule was made in the case of Hon. 8. B. Elkins, who called during the morning and remained with the President for some time, When he came out of the private office he was smiling. The visit of General Mahone, of Virginia, was of a different char- pac eee brief = to Uateice: to the suspicion e merely rough the door and did not speak whh President Harri- gon at He came with Representative Bowden, and had no _ appointment. His hair has grown longer, giving him a decidedly shaggy appearance and his general peculiarity of dress and manner made him an object of curiosity as he waited among the ‘‘un- important and unannounced” in the fobbs. He held his broad-brimmed white hat behind him and walked nervously back and forth in the lobby, while Mr. Bowden exerted himself to secure an audience. Presently one of the at- tendants, recognizing him, let him into aside door without announcing him, andin not more than two minutes he came outagain and went away. THREE DISTRICT DELEGATIONS were on hand at the White House bright and early this morning. They all got an rtu- nity to see the President and departed pleased at that, though in ignorance as to the Presi- dent’s disposition toward their candidates. Gen. Henkle, Judge Jeremiah Wilson, ex-Mayor M. G. Emery, Charles King, Frank Hume, Jamea L. ‘bour, and G, G. Cornwell presented the of John H. Crane for District Commissioner to succeed Mr. Webb, They mapa their own recommendation with a petition embracing the names of leading citizens residing in every section of the District and en- gaged in various pursuits. The President re- ceived them kindly, and told them that he would take time enough in making the sel tion to get the best man possible for the posi- tion—one who would be acceptable to the citi- zens and would be entirely free from ring con- trol i ‘THE EAST WASHINGTON DELEGATION, years of age, dent was there..

ALL OHIO WANTS OFFICE. There have been but few recent office-seek- ing arrivals from the great state of Ohio, but that cannot be taken asan indication of a sud- den access of political modesty. All the Buck- eyes who want office under this. administration do not expect to come to Washington. That involves an expenditure of hard cash without iving any assurance of asolid return. For is and other reasons, a good many sons of Ohio and followers of Harrison and Morton use the United States mails. Of this class are the men who “ag to consulships, and there are ose 3 on = in the State es — cations and accom, ing papers of 9,000 patri- otic Ohioans who coin, pps anxious, to forsake home and friends and Ohio if they may only have the opportunity to write interestin, reports on various abstruse subjects and sen them in to Secretary Blaine with the gratifying title, “United States consul,” beneath their autographs. Unfortunately all the Ohio men cannot get consulates, for there are not more than 1,200 offices in the entire consular service, meluding consular agents, many of whom are not in receipt of more than $25 perannum. If, therefore, Ohio should get everything in sight in the consular service, there would still be NEARLY 8,000 DISAPPOINTED “BUCKEYES”. A local paper stated yesterday that ex- Speaker Hodge, of Cleveland, Ohio, was after the governorship of Arizona, Mr. Hodge says that statement is incorrect. He would like to fill a gubernatorial chair, and if he gets what he is seeking he will control affairs in Alaska for at least the next four years, Several active politicians want to represent the United States at the court of Hayti, and Ohio has its representative in this struggle. M. M. Holland, who was in the sixth auditor's inently “fired out” because he disagreed with an official of the late admiristration, is the candidate, and he has largésized hopes of success, Clark Montgomery, of Cincinnati, had his longing eyes “sot” On the assistant secretary- ship of the interior—a place he regarded as pea! desirable, and for which he thougnt e had especial qualifications. Now, however, he is willing to take asion of the internal revenue bureau and be commissioner. This, it is said, he can get without much trouble. A TRIANGULAR POST-OFFICE FIGHT. Mlinoisians who hail from the twelfth con- Gressional distirct of the “Sucker” state are very much interested in the exciting tri- angular fight now going on for the possession of the Quincy post- oftice, The three candidates are all well- known, all persistent and each is confident he can win the coveted prize. The first man to arrive here was Capt. Michael Pigott, who had been —_ postmaster for sixteen years and whose services were dispensed with by President Cleveland. He has drummed up all the influence ible and now awaits the result. The second candi- date is A. H. Keith, who was very active during the last campaign. He was chairman of the county central committee, and he thinks he has earned all of that postmastership. Mr. Keith is expected here to-morrow, and he will then add the magic of his eloquence to the persua- siveness of the papers he has on file. The third man is “Chet” Wilcox, the editor of the Quincy Whig, the only republican paper in the county. Mr. Wilcox has not arrived yet, but Col. Berry, B. F. Wilcox and Isaac Lesem are attending to his interestgand stopping up the cracks in their defenses, DEATH OF V . O'BRIEN. The Assistant Manager of the United Press a Victim of Pneumonia. Wm. Frank O'Brien, of the United Press, whose serious illness Jas been noticed in THe Stan, died at 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon. His disease, pneumonia, resulted from a cold contracted by exposure in the line of his duty on inauguration day. The day afterward he went to his room, which he never again left alive. His illness lasted just one week, On Sat- urday his condition became so critical that his father was telegraphed for. Mr. O'Brien, senior, reached here on Sunday, and from that time was constantly with his son until the endcame. Everything that medical skill and careful nursing could suggest was done, but without avail more than to mitigate in some degree the sick man’s sufferings. His room- mate and associate in the United Press, Mr. Geo. G. Bain, was unremitting in his attentions and has nearly broken down himself by his con- stant watching. Mr. O’Brien was born in Brook- lyn, but when quite a lad went with his father, who was a large rail contractor, to Nova Scotia, and it was there that he first developed his news| r proclivities, Although only ten Cake published a small amateur Paper, doing the writing and typesetting him- eet, When the family returned to New York Frank fitted for college and was uated from Cornell, He was associated with Judge Tour- in the publication of Our Continent, first in Bhuadelpria and afterward in New York. Then he toga correspondent of ‘the World, winning an le. as a’ graphic and entertaining — writer, Later he was connected with the executive de- partment of the United Press, with which he was associated at the time of his death, being assistant general southern manager here. He was also connected with the authorship of the O’Brien-Bain letters. He was prominently con- nected with the management of the inaugural ball, and was amember of the Gridiron club, the association of Washington correspondents, and of the Jefferson club. After his death be- came known last night many beautiful floral tributes were sent by the Jefferson club, by the United Press, Gridiron club and personal friends, His father also received tele- ms of sympathy and condolence. e floral offerings accompanied the i which were sent to New York 8.

Loxvox, March 13.—The Times’ case is ending characteristically with another laugh at the credulity of the Times’ managers, They have diligently whispered about privately lately their possession of a card up their sleeve. This is believed to be Coffey, the Irish reporter called yesterday, whose statements to the Times’ solici- tors were very sensational and incriminating; but, now he has confessed, they were inventions. “I wanted to see London,” %e suid. “I knew my statements would take if strong enough.” Everyone is laughing at this accarate estimate of the prejudiced credulity in unionist quarters.

They Will Not Allow Chinamen to Work the Lower California Mines. Curcago, March 13.—A special from Los An- geles, Cal., to the Daily News says: “Great ex- citement existed in the Lower California gold mining camps last night, and thousands of desperate gold-hunters breathing vengeance against the international company of English eapitalists, whose agents lay claims to the mines and are trying to shut out Americans and others, Yesterday it became known that the company had sent to San Francisco for five thousand Chinamen to work the mines, and last night the American and Mexican miners held a mass meeting and determined not to submit to the coming of coolies. They also framed a petition to the American Congress asking protection. The situation looks threat- ening, anda battle between the i Miners and the i looked for every moment. be shed if the company insists on coolies to the camp. —-—_—»—___ LONSDALE MAY HAVE PERISHED.

They were brothers and left Canot river settlement, about 40 miles from here, last August for Deer lake, taking with them provisions and a outfit, intending to remain all winter ing in that “ae After getting settled they started for the Hud- son's Bay company’s post, 200 miles further north, and at the other end of the lake, and have not been since seen, until a short time 2, when a Hudson Bay trap) discovered eir dead bodies about 2 miles from their camp. It is supposed they were lost in the lake, and the visions giving out were starved to death before they could reach camp.

Exorbitant Taxes Imposed on Them in Lower California. San Dreco, Car., March 13.—The coming of soldiers into Lower California to protect the miners that have gone to the new mines seems to have brought trouble. Since the strike was made Mexicans, Indians, and Americans have been workingly indiscriminately without aid from the government. With the soldiery came Secretary Cola, representing the governor of ——— with instructions to collect re- aud denouncement fees from ev working mine that made announcement of best ness.
