PE?irB Washington, April 11. Special. The ' new chairman of the Republican state executive committee wilt have practi cally no desirable office's to distribute during the two years bf "official life that he will have to serve. Those po sitions in the revenue service and the federal courts and the postmastershlps in the larger cities, -which' always re sult in a great scramble among Re publicans have been distributed. The rotation in the fourth and second class lost offices will go on just the same, snd'an occasional vacancy will occur in a presidential office. These will con stitute the patronage that Chairman Jlollins will have to apportion. It Is the small offices that 'will keep him very busy and. cause him to lay awake Rt night. The Vnost vigorous contests that have been made for. office by .the Republicans in the. state for the past few. months have 'resulted over little post offices that pay small salaries and tarry little or no patronage. Character cssaillng is the favorite game of. these contestants in their efforts to win, and the man who. tries to keep up with these little fights and Valghten them out to the satisfaction " of the heads of the. department will soon have an abun dance of gray hair on his- craniurni or no hair at all, as the, case roaybe. Judse Pi-itchard was gre.ily harrassed rs . result of these scrambles, which he would have, gladlytransf erred to Kther shoulders. 1'"' Thr , retiring senator j was etading in tle : nrble room of --the Senate the morn ig of the 4th of! March; Chatting with friends about his career in the, Senate. "When you came here eight years ago," . " one of them remarked, "you did not have a gray hair In your head." The , ex-senator, who Is getting very grajv remarked," "That's the truth," and those, about him agreed that these scrambles over office -which he t had faced were sufficient cause to produce .the .'result mentioned. The legacy that Judge Pritchard has left his successor in the way of office contests will give him some w-ork as a starter. None of the positions is of great imbprtance from a salary stand point, but severaj of them involve 'knot ty problems, and will require tact in their final disposition. There is the Monroe post office, where the Hasty faction is putting up a haru lght.

Mrs. Shipp's friends have so far failed to press her appointment here, but I ns.ve heard the opinion expressed by a high official that if the facts, in the case were stated to the president he believed she would be given the po sition, despite the recommendations and appeals that might ome up fronv fed eral office holders in North Carolina. !The president admired Lieut. Shipp and has spoken in' very high terms of him.

The case is. set for argument Monday, but it is probable that it will "not be reached until Tuesday or Wednesday last week's docket was not com pleted, and the cases that failed to be peached will very likely have the right f way Monday.

Is he Populist P''ll-Lbu""n--1Lft CCn" or. Republican, or both? Such are the f?ct to the lowest bidder, all questions that have been frequently hinf" considered:. As yet no&rogrtss asked during the past ten days. While s been inade towards preparing pns the former Populist leader is chairman ntZ 1,?

Ha ,k .tv 4.1- .- w-' ituu niv VfijJ7lliyjl tu luav party Would Butler have accepted the Re- publican chalrmanjhlp? As Uncle Joe Cannon is wont to snv "Will a rt,ick swim?" Certainly, Butler would have taken the game. His political ambi- Hon is as strong as ever,' and what he wants is, another opportunity In North Carolina. He is busy making money now. j but hts great thought after all is to f return to the Senate. In' reality this hope 'is a mere delusion, but But ler has it. jX'- vv nue jsuiier is I'opunst in naraene is Republican in heart. His party is dead, and his only retreathas been to the Radical ranks. Hlpopulistic principles have neverreoelled when he , 1 -j-j A half dozen times in recent months Butler has bn tn ih. whito TTrtH- niiiiiciii. lit v 1 v e- 1 t - iirp inTnr taiivir" to advise., aoout southern matters. He has seen Pritchard often, and it is easy to ne where hft TiHX-rt Vila hand In a. UtoP.W of recent appointments in theatisfactory to the Shamrock III. state. He is responsible for Dr. Per-j son. the man who undid Vick. But as, Intimately as Judare Pritchard knows ' Butler, he could not tell you today whether he is . Republican or Populist. In;faot, he admitted recently that this was a nuzzle too crreat for him. It has been currently reported in Washington for some time that Butler has been on a still hunt for an office. He has been accredited, with the ambi- tion to be a . member of the' Panama" Canal Commission. . No one has ever neard Butler-say, that he was a-can- dldate. but the impression prevails that ne won iouna out inat ,it,wouia be im possible for him fplandT and he gave up the'idea; There was another North Carolinian -who aspired to be a mem ber of the canal commission, a posi tion that yields a salary of $12,000 per annum. The news comes on the best authority.. that ex-Judge T. N. Hill, who made the race for chief justice as an independent candidate, declde'd to be come a candidate for- appointment as canal commissioner, but that after put ting out several feelers he ascertained that It wouli be impossible for him to be considered in this connection, and on the national committee have en- s jm . . . aeavorea to get tne cnairman to.. call a i meeting.

Many people in North Carolina be- Heve the ex.PopuIist Benator is fabu . lougly wealthy A visItor from the state ( here. a' few days ago referred to him as aj millionaire. No one knows what he B WOrth. He is no millionaire. The art of making money has all the fasci nation for the ex-senator that ever did the checkerboard of politics. He has been as successful in the one as in the other. Butler is rated today as a j wealthy man. He has offices in New ; York and' Washington and nominally! he has an office in Raleigh, though he is seldom there. Most of his time is spent in his New York office. He is , interested in a number of enterprises, but western mines are his specialty. John R. Smith, who created the bril liant idea of a strawberry festival at ,tne penitentiary once said that Marion Butler had done more business on less capital than any men he had ever seen. This was at the time when, with a handfull of Populists Butler was prac tically dictating the distribution of fusion patronage in 'the state. The ex Populist senator demonstrated that he was the shrewdest argp most far-sighted man in the forces of fusion. These oualities.have not forsaken him in tne world' of business. His wonderful en ergy arid ambition are directed today towards his business enterprises. Pe pie say that Butler got his start finat-ially when Pettigrew hit the stQCK market, for. thousands a few years ago. The ;Dakota - senator and the Tar Heel were1 almost inseparable when in the. Senate.: Many .times this past win ter they were in Washington together, and they are ihtefeStefl jointly in sev- eral business vjentures. ... Butler got along very well with his colleagues in crto TVtfi-srreTV-did not. He had no regard for senatorial courtesy. The TT,arfrtest that ever Hanna was in his life was the occasion of Pcttlgrew's personal reference to bim in debate. Vice President Frj'e and Senator Hanna ,wore that day that Pettigrew should never come' back to the Senate. They went to Dakota and while the vice president took the stump Hanna work ed up the organiaztion against the ob ect of their wrath. , The result was that Pettigrew was beaten. t Tir..Mntnri x-Senator Pettigrew is a prominent CureJIa ia one ofr the oest dressed men on the street.

Another and more important chancre -thah hereto- fore proposed is to take plaice in the armv rifle as a result of the recent tests conducted at Springfield and at Sandy Hook by an ordinance board which was . convened for the purpose of giving a final trial to the new expe- rimental rifle designed to tak ; the place of the present magazine gun. The report of this board reached the ordinance bureau today and jshows that the new experimental rifle did all that was claimed fpr it by the ordnance ex- perts. The board, howeve ::, thought ;that a considerable reduction .in the length of the gun could be rriade with- ( out sacrificing any of its gocjd features, and a compromise between the cavalry carbine, which is only twenty-two ,.b-lon and the new rifte. which is VmZZ inrhn. has been agreed . . 1 - -- - It is' now proposed to make rifles twenty-four . inches long and supply them to .both the infantry and cavalry, thus doing away with the cavalry carbine. 1 The board found that the recent re-1 suits could be secured with the short ened gun and that it would save as much' aa two-pounds in Weight over !the gun now in u-; WHOLE LIST TURNED DOWN - -.
