Walter H. Chamberlin of Chicago was to- day nominated by the President to be as- sistant commissioner of patents, vice Ar- thur W. Greeley, resigned. The promptness of the appointment was a genuine surprise, as it was not contem- plated anything would be done toward fill- ing the vacancy until the early part of April. In fact, the many aspirants for the position have not had time to get to work, and few have really entered the race. It was understood shortly after the resigna- tion of Assistant Commissioner Greeley that the President would be prompt in filling the position. Contrary to expectations, the matter of a successor to Mr. Greeley was left to Commissioner Duell, the President, it is said, taking the position that in view of the intimate relationship between the offices the head should be consulted. AS soon as Commissioner Duell received an in- timation that a recommendation from him would be considered he looked about for a competent berlin pri his He kne and was the plac amberiin afternoon ic for © to W the recommen rried this morning 'y of the In- born After choc . and select s He sn into the Leggett, a son foner of patents and a atent world. vas admitted iness educ chosen profe: office of the of a fe 1 attorney graduating In to the bar in Chica . and at once began th lee of his profession, which he has continued up to the present time, making the patent specialty.

He was indorsed for the pes tion by le: nt lawyers of Chica and elsewhere, and Senators Cullom and Mason, as w ss Controller Dawes, took a personal interest in his appointment. Mr. Chamberlin favored the appointment of Mr. Duell as commissioner of patents in 1807, and he and the commissioner have been warm friends for some years. Commis- stoner Duell, who recommendel the ap- pointment. believes the new assistant will be helpful to him in carrying out the new policy of the office adopted by him.

Emancipation League. A select committee of the Lincoln Eman- cipation League held a meeting at the Mc- Kinley House, 480 Missourl avenue north- west, last night. In the absence of J. C. Hill, chairman of the committee, James W. Poe, president of the league, presided and Prof. J. W. Coles and Capt. W. H. Thomas acted as secretaries. Mr. P. A.

War to the knife and the knife to the hilt. That is the battle cry of the two factions of the citizens of the District who affillate with the democratic party and who hold allegiance to Mr. William Holmead and Mr. gJames L. Norris, respectively. The fight is now on, so far as the preliminaries are concerned, and it extends over the entire District. There promises to be a lively gen- eral engagement April 10, when primary elections will be held in each of the twenty- two districts to choose delegates to repre- sent them ‘in the convention April 17 at the Academy of Music, which is to determine whether a Holmead or a Norris delegation of six will be sent to Kansas City to partici- pate in the national convention. Certain Instructions for Bryan. It can be regarded as a certainty that, no matter which side wins, the delegation to Kansas City from the, District will be in- structed to support Mr. Bryan unqualifiedly and unremittingly. Thera is a vague pos- sibility that Vice Chairman John A. Clarks of the democratic central committee, who is a candidate for national convention honors, might disregard such instructions if the name of his patron saint, ex-Governor James E. Campbell, was sprung on the gathering; that is, of cours2, if he is chosen a delegate, but beyond this remote contin- gency the District delegation will be for the Nebraska leader, first, last and all the time. No Chance for Harmony. There have been strong efforts made in the past few days to secure some sort of a harmonious understanding between the op- posing forces, but they have been unavail- ing, and the announcement of Mr. Hol- mead that there would be Holmead tickets at every polling place April 10 precludes the possibility of anything but a fight to a finish. Competent observers are inclined to quite a positive bellef that Mr. Holmead’s forces will have a difficult task in securing a vic- tory. The Norris forces are in almost com- plete control of the local democratic ma- chinery, and are: using all their encrgy to add to their strength in other directions. Again, many of the most influential local lcaders who were opposed to the Norris side four years ago are now working zeal- cusly in his behalf. The Holmead lieuten- ants are not less vigilant, however, and do not appear to be any less confident of their ability to win. The Probable Tickets. What seem to be the most favored names of the Holmead faction for delegates to Kan- sas City are those of William Holmead, George Killeen, Edwin A. Newman, the editor of the Silver Watchman; Robert F. Mattingly, Cotter T. Bride and Herman J. Schulteis. As stated in The Evening Star yesterday, the Norris people incline strongly toward a delegation composed of James L. Norris, J. Fred Kelley, William F. Hart, William T. Whalen, W. Cranch McIntyre and John A. Clarke. The Norris people are very much amused at the declaration of their opponents that the issue at thé primaries will be Bryan or anti-Bryan. They confine themselves simply to the statement which Mr. Norris made this morning that such an assertion is preposterous on the face of it. But, no matter the issue, the battle will be vigorously waged and both sides are girding up their loins and sharpening their axes in anticipation of it. SS CLOUDY TONIGHT, Saturday Rain, Beginning rly Morning. Forecast till 8 p.m. Saturday—For the Dis. trict of Columbia, Delaware and Maryland, cloudy tonight. Saturday rain, beginning in early morning; colder Saturday with fresh northerly winds. For Virginia, rain tonight and Saturday; colder Saturday, except in southeast por- tion; fresh to brisk northerly winds Satur- day. in the Weather conditions and gentral forecast— The low pressure area in the north is pass- ing out the St. Lawrence valley, and the feature of especial interest this morning is the southwest disturbance, some indica- tions of which were noticed Thursday morning. It has thus far caused rain from Kansas southward and in the gulf states generally. There was no other precipita- tion, except light rain Thursday in western New York. ‘Temperatures have risen considerably, ex- cept from the upper lake region westward. The disturbance in Texas will probably develop east northeastward, and in con- nection with the high area and colder weather which follows the north low will cause general rains tonight and Saturday from the Ohio valley southward and east- ward, and snow or rain from the lower lake region eastward. It will be colder Sat- urday over these districts, except in the south Atlantic states. On the New England and middle Atlantic coast winds will become fresh to brisk northerly, on the south coast they will be south to east and increasing in force. Storm signals are displayed on the gulf coast from Brownsville to Pensacola.
