WASHINGTON, June 27.-Indications
now are that the president will not ind
time to take up Minnesota matters Tor
considerable time yet. He is out OF patience
with the whole surveyor generalshlp matter
and glad to drop it for the time. lie may
get round to Minnesota pretty soon III the
matter of surveyor of customs, as ne is
giving considerable attention to these
offices lust now From what can De
gathered. however, there is disposition to
permit the district attorney, the surveyor
generalship and most of the postoffces rest
until the terms expire, or at least untll the
president dispOses of more Important mat
ters pressed upon him. He is being con-
stantly reminded that there are number
of very important states which ought 10 DC
attended to before the coming elections,
and it is to these ne is giving most OF his
attention now. The general 1eelmg among
MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS,
emitting Donnelly and his followers, is that
the presidents few appointments made Tor
Minnesota and Dakota thus far have been
good ones Biermann's appointment was
recognized as a most JudiclouS one. onoulu
other appointments as they Io!ioW
prove as satisfactory, there will be little
Northwest. Biermann's appointment Is
booked upon as likely to prove very adyan-
tageous with reference to the Scandl-
navians, who come every year nearer to the
Democrats, as the tariff question IS the
more discussed and the lines more closely
drawn. There are very few OF the Minnie
sofa candidates for the places remaining
here. They have discovered that there IS
little prospect of early action. The attor-
nev general and postmaster general are I'M
derStood to have indicated that they do not
desire to take up Minnesota matters at
present.
COLLECTOR BIERMANN
is understood to be greatly embarrassed
with applications for appointment. Ihere
are but few positions to distribute In the
Minnesota district and, with from ten to
twenty-five applications for each, he Is
greatly at loss to determine upon his course.
COMPTROLLER Cannon's friends were inclined
to be somewhat disturbed to-day when the
president suspended DR.. Burchard and ap-
pointed his successor. Cannon and Bur-
chard held their places under special acts,
which it was supposed would per
nit them to serve until the
expiration of their terms. The
prompt and vigorous dismissal of Burchard
led to fear that Cannon's term might be
cut short in some way. On examination OF
the situation this afternoon, however, it is
found that Cannon has very strong sup
porter in the new treasurer, with whom ne
has very close personal. relations, and as his
policy is quite in accord with that OF the
government on important matters, it is be-
lieved he may stay. Col. Myrick expects
to get statement of his claim early next
month. Ignatius Donnelly has gone over
to New York on short vacation.
