Washington, Dec. 29.-Progressives

' Despite that a caucus will be held
this evening by the councilmen to
agree upon the appointments to be
made next Tuesday evening, when the
council takes up the reins of the city
government, the councilmen seem at
sea as to who will be selected.
J Predictions of all kinds are being
I made, but little attention can be paid
(to them. There seems to be a dispo
sition of some of the cotmcllmen to
secure positions for favorites, and
they are endeavoring to effect trades,
and until this trading element finally
makes known its position It cannot be
a predicted with any certainty as to
whom the plums will go.
Grant Corby seems still to retain a
good lead over Roland K. Page for the
city attorneyship. His followers seem
sanguine, but Page's following are
making a hard fight, and believe they
may yet win.
Street Commissioner Zwlcker seems
assured of re-election, as he has been
recommended by the street commit
tee.
There is a three-cornered fight for
the sanitary Inspectorship, with Long
apparently in the lead, but he does
not seem as strong as a few days ago.
Wm. Iwan had the lead over Mark
Savage for the fire chief several days
ago, but since then Savage has been
gaining, and it will come as no sur
prise should he win the appointment.
Dr. 0. H. Miles seems to have smooth
and easy sailing for the office of health
Inspector. By reason of the fact thai
the salary of this office has been In
creased, there will probably be other
candidates sprung at the Caucus, but
it is not likely they will be strong
enough to best the'doctor.
Chief of Police Hamilton has an
nounced that he will recommend no
changes in his fqfee, and. If he does
not, all will be re-elected, as the coun
cil Is disposed to follow his recom
mendations. Engineer Skeelton is without oppo
sition apparently, and seems to have
a leaupipe cmcn on ine juu.

before Miss Linnell died.
Levitan declared the girl, who gave
a fictitious name and address, looked
exactly like the pictures of Miss
'Linnell. Tbls will be taken advan
tage of by the defense to show that
Miss Linnell was a suicide and that
Richeson was guiltless of her death.
Levitan's statement offsets the tes
timony of Druggist that he sold
Richeson cyanide on October 10. If
t Is proven that the girl who bought
the poison from Levitan was Miss
Linnell, It means the total collapse of
the state's case.
