We have 1t from the best of authority
that Hon: Charles G. Williams, congress-,
man from the first Wisconsin district, is
to be appointed register of the Water
town land Office after the 4th of next
month. An erroneous report is in cir
culation to the effect that Mr.. Williams
refused the mission to Spain and took
the Watertown land Office. He was,
however, rendered his choice of several
positions and among them a foreign
appointment, some of the offers coming
direct from the president. Mr.. Williams
has been for long time republican
member Of congress and now occupies
the responsible position of chairman OF
the foreign affairs committee. This OF
course gives him prominence in official
circles. He has considerable property
near Watertown and the position Of reg.
lister of the land Office there will enable
him to look after his interests while
serving the government. He desires to
have it understood that he comes to
Dakota not to get into politics, but to
get out of them. He will not claim q
residence here, but will leave his family

dinsl McCloskey.
The following from New York pa
per is of local and general interest. 1t
is addressed by the writer to Cardinal,
McC Closkey and is dated at New York:
was sitting in q dinning-room Of a
hotel in Boston last Saturday waiting
for my breakfast, and to while away the
time was looking over the morning
papers. Among the items of news that
I read was one from the far west that
made me slap my knees with glee and
exclaim out loud, Good for the nun!"
The gentleman opposite me at the table
stared at me in amazement. An explain
alton was necessary, so told him who I
was and how interested I was in the
news had been reading. He asked me
to read it aloud and did so, having
some of the other guests as we'll as the
Roman Catholic walters as auditors. I
am sure, cardinal, you will be as inter-
ested in the news as I was, and as the
New York daily papers did not publish
the full particulars of the case I give
them to you. Here is the dispatch:
