THE LAND COMMISSIONERSHIP , Valentino's Friends Think Ho linn n Corner on Hint Office Oohllti-oo Not n Candidate * Tor the Mexican Mission. WASHINGTON BUUEAO THE QMATIA BCE. ) C13 FOUUTEBNTII STUEET. > WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 20. ) It will bo remembered that a few days ago when n senator mentioned to President Harrison risen that Chauncoy M. Dopow would bo aa nble representative of tUo United States at the Court of St. James , the head of the nation , according to report , observed that ho would llko to find n good man for the place In the west , nud nskcd the senator if ho could sug gest someone. It was learned to-day by your correspondent that General Harrison had 'In mind when ho made this observation the name of Kobcrt 1C. HIU , representative In congress from the Sixth district of Illinois , which embraces a portion of the city of Chicago. It need create no surprise if Mr. Hitt is nominated to the position at any tlmo. Ho is an intimate personal friend of Mr. Blnlnc , nnd has been with that gentleman nnd Mr. William Walter Phelps almost con tinually durliig the past month. His frionda have suspected that something was about to happen In diplomatic circles , seeing this trio I BO frequently together. Mr. Hltt is fifty flvo years old and Is a practiced and accomplished diplomat. Ho began his career in dip lomacy in the American legation at Paris and was assistant secretary of state in 18S1 under Mr. Blalno. It is known that ho would gladly give up his present position in ho house for a four year's term In the first diplomatic position o ? this country abroad. Mr. Hitt's district is safely republican. VALENTINE FOU LAND COMMlSSlONEn. There is n strong probability that ex-Con gressman Valentino will bo nominated for commlssionor of the general land ofllco. The fight for this ofllco has been n triangular and very bitter ono. Ex-Senator Chilrott , of Colorado ; Governor Stone , of Iowa , and ox- Representative Calkins , of Indiana , are the leading aspirants. Chilcott. of Colorado , has been in the lend until within a week , when n bitter opposition developed against him , headed by ox-Senator Bowen , of Cole rado. Ho was backed by the Colorado , Ne braska and Kansas delegations , whllo the preferences of Secretary Noble were openly expressed for Governor Stone , of Iowa , of whom ho was a warm personal friond. Lateen on Saturday Mr. Chilcott evinced n dealro to withdraw in favor of Congrcsaman Valen tino. It la understood to-day from the white house that the presentation of Mr. Valentino's name was immediately accepted as a solution of the dlfllculty , and that after a personal Interview with Secretary Noble , the feeling was prevalent that his name would bo first sent in. Mr , Valentino to night , when Interviewed on this subject , de clined to respond to any inquiries , but it was learned at tbo Interior department that shortly after noon ho paid a visit to the sec retary ol the interior , in company with the entire Nebraska delegation and Senator Plumb , of Kansas , and Senator Teller , of Colorado. OCUILTIir.K DENIES IT. Colonel Tom Ochiltreo says that ho never was a candidate for the Mexican mission and that all reports alleging him to bo so are canards. Ho adds that ho would very much HKO the appointment , but it has always been the rule never to appoint a Texan to an office in Mexico because of the , friction on the bor der. AWOBTIONINO NEnllASKA OFFICES. The meeting of the Nebraska delegation this afternoon to consider the recommenda tions for appointments was delayed on tbo receipt of a note from Congressman Laird that ho would bo present and would partici pate. Ttio meeting was hold at 4 o'clock in Senator Mundcrson's committee room. All the members of tbo committee rofuseato state the result of its deliberations beyond the fact that the meeting was entirely har monious and that several recommendations were agreed upon. . Another mooting will beheld held to-morrow , at which Mr. Laird will also bo present. * * QUAY ANU WANAMAKEIt. The alleged "differences" between Senator Quay and Postmaster General Wanamaker are only on the surface and do not reach the heart. There is no doubt that Mr. Wuna- rnaltcr has tendered the Philadelphia post- office to his friend , M/ . Field , who is not a politician , and whoso conduct nt the polls during the last few years is n matter of some doubt. It is also true that Mr. Quay lias in dorsed the application of William U. Leads , otherwise known as "Bill Loads , " for the same ofllco , and has written a strong letter urging his appointment. While Mr. Quay tells people that he is going to insist upon Mr. Leads' appointment , and that' ho docs not believe the postmaster general will ap point Mr. Field , ho docs not show any signs of rage or disappointment , and it is suspected that ho has indorsed Leads simply for effect. A. FUW JIOIIK DAV8. Nearly every senator who expects to leave Washington at the end of the present extra session of the sonata has his personal effects packed , nnd his wife , if she bo In tha cily , has her Saratoga In the hall of the bouso , strapped ready for the expressman. It was expected that the senate would ad journ on Friday , but the death of Justice Matthews lost the senate two actual days of work and the inability of the president to ngrco upon a minister to England makes It a necessity that the senate shall remain in session a few days longer , it will probably adjourn the middle of next week , but may continue until Frklny of next week. There nro about u down senators who practically live in Washington all the year round , and they will remain horu till tbo hot. torui be gins , when they will go to their constituents , for visit or to the scas'do for recreation , Eight or ton members of tbo house ol o have residences hero and remain in Washington all tbo-yonr round. The adjournment of the extra session of the senate does not mean the abandonment of the occupation of ofllco recking , neither docs it mean that all of the ofllca seekers will stay away from Washington. The work , however , w'U ' bo conducted through senators and rep resentatives from their homes to a largo extent - tent , After the legislators and the visiting patriots who desire occupation in the federal government have departed , the administra tion will begin to formulate Its policy and there will bo something more substan tial for the readers of the daily papers to feed updn when they look Into the Washing ton column than tlio eagerness of men who want work for so much n year , and pay from tbo coffers of Undo Saui.

Lewis Hunter was In Untontown ast Saturday , nnd late last night started for. ils homo nt Whlto Roclc. Thrco men sprang out of the bushoa , grasped his horses and de manded his money. Hunter fought , dug his inces Into the horse , nnd the spirited animal sprang through the forest. The highway men shot , but missed him , owing to the darkness. It is evident that others are profiting by the terror Inspired by the McClollandtown band , and under cover -their fnmo are operating , hoping that the blame may attach to other outlaws. About two years ago a feud arose between Dolph Slsslcr nnd John Deitrich , two well- to-do- farmers living near Stuartstown , in In West Virginia , over the trespasses of Sisslor's hogs , the feud extending to their families and connections. Fire was added to the feud by the Sisalcrs preferring a charge of illegal liquor selling against Dolt- rich , who owns n distillery , but which failed to bo established , and Doitrich was ac quitted. Last Sunday Alleno Alonzo Slsslor and George nnd Flors Deitrich , all nearing man- hopd , attended the Baptist Sunday school nt Stuartstown. Soon bad blood showed itself nnd the people were astonished to BOO the youths of each family brandishing revolvers at each other nnd starting into a fight. A scene of wild confusion arose. Women . and children became frantic , and the few men present could not quell the disturbance. They soon had the church to themselves , and in the dcsporato fight that ensued the Doitrich family were badly used up , Georgo's head being beaten up with revolver and the others being se verely hurt. Assistance arrived und the gang was put to flight , the Sissler boys flee ing to Unlontown , and are now thought to be secreted at ono of the numerous coke works in that region. The blood bespattered walls of tbo church show the desperate nature - turo of the ficht. Great excitement prevails in the neighborhood over the outbreak and the end of the trouble has not been seen.
