It is lignt and dry, and while it flies easily on the wind the drifts it makes are not formidable obsta- cles. In tke northern part of the State the fall was much heavier.

Grizgs is the: Goy- ernor of New Jersey. He was called to Washington unexpectediy and is the guest of Vice-President Hobart to-nigbt. The Attorney-Generalship was first of. fered to Judge Goff of West Virginia, and then to Judge Day of Ohio, the assisiant Becretary of Btate. Judee Goff declined the appointment, for he now has a 1ite position as Unitd Btates Circuit Judge, THE CALY. correspondent ascertained be- yonu a donot two weeks ago that the new Attorney-General would not come from California not from On o, and it was int)- mated that he would be seiecied from a Northern State. Itis almost ceitain that Griggs will accepr, although he did not have time to fuliy discuss the matter with the President, who was cailed sud. denly to Ohio to be present at the bedside of his mother.

Although there has never been in the history of the Government a case ex- actly similar, it is necessary for the Presi- dent to be at the Capital in person for the opening of a session of Congress, to re- ceive the two joint commitiees from the two Houses, and until this committee has waited on the President and received his communication tbe regular business of Cong-ess cannot proceed. Mother McKiniey is unconscious and the atiending pbysician can giye the fam- ily no hope that she will ever return to consciousness. Th~ President can do ab- solutely notbing for herby remaining here. In view of these facts the President feels that it is his auty to return to Wash- ington so asnotto delay the opening of Congress at the regular time. He has ar- ranged to leave Canton at 2:05 o’clock to- morrew afternoon in the speciai car pro- vided for him, attached to the regular Pennsylvania train, which reaches Wash- ington Sunday morning.

FIGHT ON McKENNA, AND JEALOUS RIVALS WHO ARE LEADING IT JUDGE C. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3.—THE CALL correspondent called to see Judge McKenna at his residence on California avenue to-night, and showed him a- dis- patch from San Francisco stating that the Federal Judges of Oregon and the leading lawyers of Portland had signed a petition to the Presid=nt protesting against his ap- pointment as United States Supreme Court Justice, and that the same petition was now being circulated in California. The Judge had already been apprised of | this, and the nature of the petition had been made known to him. Mr. McKenna was not at all disturbed | over the affair. When THE CALL cor-| respondent reached his residence he was in fine spirits. He expressed considerable reluctance about discussing the matter, and was a good deal amused over some of - the state- | ments made in the petition. He said: ““As far as one of the Federal Judges is concerned, I think I understand his ani- mus in the matter, and am sure that the Californians will understand. But 1 do not desire to make any comments as to the other Federal Judges in Oregon. The petition alleges lack of ability on my | of the ablest lawyers | ever knew.’’ | will nave nothing to sav anent ihe protest e H.

PORTLAND, Dec. 3.—Judge Hanford of the Oregon bar and Federal judiciary against the appointment of Judge Mc- Kenna to the place on tbe supreme bench vacated by Justice Field. Under the rose, it is known bere that Judge Hanford is himselt & candida e jor the appoiniment, Or rather that his poitical friends have been planning for years to muke him the successor of the California member.of the court. The Oregon protest is regarded by those who know a thing or. two about the undercurrént. of King. County volitics, as part.

But there are gentlemen in San Francisco who can explain it all. 1 do not care to dweil on the matter.” There is no doubt of Judge McKenna’s nomination and confirmation. The Presi- dent served on the Ways and Means Committee for several years with him, and was greatly impressed with his abil- ity. This was so well known to the Con- gressmen at that time,and to the corre- spondents who attended the sessions of the Fifty-first Congress, that McKinley’s admiration for McKenna was a matter of every-day comment. They are now the warmest kind of friends. The President thinks more of McKenna than any other member of his Cabinet.

Such is the judgment of our leading citizens and ab.est lawyers. Of course politicians and office-seekers who want-favors from the sdministration think McKenna fit for any position, and the lawyers here who favor him are grubstake politicians, who;.before all things else, want the smiles of the administratio.” S annanan st s RS2 SRR EET PRIV n'“!"“w FAN N NN N NN YN NN AN NN NN NN RN XN ke £¥¥¥
