Foreign Appointments.
WASHINGTON. March Sth.-A cable dis
patch, saying that surprise is felt in Amer
lean circles in London and Paris that no
appointments have been made to the diplO-
matte posts in Europe by President CIeve-
land. creates amusement here. Bayard did
not take office as Secretary of State until
yesterday, and it has never been customary
to fill vacant missions until the Secretary
OF State has entered upon the discharge OF
his duties 1t is probable that several for
eign appointments will be made this week,
| but if there should be a delay of a month
in filling the European missions the for
/ eign service would not suffer, as i'll all cases
the Legations will be left in competent
| hands.

sence Of the President had left an aching
void which even al eloquent sermon had
not completely flied.
