Interstate Commerce Bill Sure ta be I'afscU by the Next CongressTalk About Onice. Various Appointments Male by the New Administration Tho Nominations Sent Io. THE FOKTY-MNTU CONGRESS. 1'romlMi of Its Doing lleing Alredy Made. , Special to the Sentinel. Vahiis;tox, March IS It is no evident that the question of Interstate commerce will rjgare largely in tne proceedings o'CoEgress next water, and it is equally apparent that a bill of some kind looking to tbe regulation of railroad traffic will becom? a law by tbe act of that session. Tue selection of a special committee in the Sanate, or tho determination to select only to Investigate the question, looks very business like. - Eecator Cullom, of Illinois, whs originated the resolution creating the special committee, sajs there is little doubt that tbe Forty ninth Congress will pass an interstate commerce law, and as he is not quite clear whether it ebould be executed through a commission or th,e provisiens already made, be wants some information on the subject Nearly all the railroads in the country have attorneys or other representatives here woiking against anything of the kind. Heretofore they have managed to defeat all measures looking toward the control of railroad traffic by means of law, bat it is improbable they can do it longer. Whether right or wrong the people are goiding their representatives in Congress on to the passage of such a bill. Hints to Aailoni O Mice-Seekers. Special to tbe Sentinel. Wasiungtcn, .March IS "Pesple who wanteffice are much too impatient," ex claimed an exasperated Senator who had just been to see the President to-day. "Now. if they could know enough to wait until the President and his Cabinet can get their thinking caps on everything will come out all right. I can tell yon one thing; no one will be appointed who clamors, and no one will be appointed at this time except to fill a vacancy, or a very important office." "What do you mean by 'important office ? ""asked the office-seeker. "Well, the office yon want is not one. Heie, yon want to be Internal Revenue Col lector, and yon are as restless aa If you thought the whole service of the Government was being impaired by your not receiving the place Instantly. Why, bless you, my dear fellow, the rilling of that place is of no consequence to the President, and I can cot impress to the contrary. Phil Thompson, of Kentucy, would have been appointed Internal Revenue Commissioner if he had not ovfretoce the pressin; of bis claim. Have a care, or yon will overshoot the mark." Indlanlans at the Capital. Special to the Sentinel. WAsniKGTOx, March 18 Among the President's callers to-day were Representative Lowry and Senators Voorheea and Harrison.

His name was immediately transmitted to the Senate. Montgomery was the attorney selected by the homesteaders of Michigan to represent them before the Congressional Commissioners in the Michigan land grab case, and his argument has created a very favorable opinion o! his abilities.
