Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-IndicatiOns
now are that the president will not find
time to take up Minnesota matters for a
considerable time yet. He is out of patience
with the whole surveyor generalship matter
and glad to drop it for the time. He may
get round to Minnesota pretty soon in the
matter of surveyor OF customs, as he is
giving considerable attention to these
offices just now. From what can be
gathered, however, there is disposition to
permit the district attorney, the surveyor
generalship and most of the postoficeS rest
until the terms expire, or at least until the
president disposes of more important mat
tiers pressed upon him. He is being con-
stantly reminded that there are number
of very important states which ought to be
attended to before the coming elections,
and it is to these he is giving most of his
attention now. The general feeling among
MINNESOTA DEMOCRATS,
emitting Donnelly and his followers, is that
the presidents few appointments made for
Minnesota and Dakota thus far have been
good ones. Biermann's appointment was
recognized as most judicious one. Should
other appointments as they follow
prove as satisfactory, there will be little

Northwest. Biermann's appointment is
looked upon as likely to prove very advan-
tageous with reference to the Scandi-
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-
ney general and postmaster general are un-
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. There
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 APP
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 he
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 a short vacation.

CAMP HUBBARD, Faribault, June a.
The routine work of the camp passed off III
very creditable shape to-day. The feature
of the day, however, was the sham battle,
which took place about O'CLOCK III tIe
afternoon. The battle grounds were 10
Gated near the rifle range about mile
south of the camp. The engagement took
place in a large pasture surrounded by
knobs, on which over 5000 people placed
themselves to witness the contest. The
fort was occupied by Sergt. Quinn OF the
United States battery with one gun, backed
by Companies A, B and II, with D,
brown out as skir1nishers, all under the
Command of Col. Mead. The attacking
party was commanded by Col. Bobleter,
and consisted of the remainder OF the
battery under Maj. Smith, and Companies
r., G, F, G and K, with Company L as
skirnishers. At first the front troops re-
sisted the attack, but, being the weaker
side, gave way and finally surrendered, but
not before mine had exploded tired by
the adjutant generaD under the feet OF the
approaching party. The movements III
battle line were very well executed. The
Hlled aud wounded of both sides were few,
though the ambulance corps was on hand
for duty and carried several men OFF the
field Taking the fight as whole it was
very well executed and was much enjoyed
by the spectators.

While taking jaunt through the state of


While taking jaunt through the state of
Minnesota stopped off at this beautiful
city and spent day or so taking in the city
and its surroundings. AS many of the
other larger cities in the state have been
written about from time to time by differ
ent persons l take the liberty, with your
permission, of saying something of this
place. 1t is certainly one of the lOveliest
little cities in the state. The town is located
on the banks of Clear lake, in dense grove
Of new-growth trees, and as you approach
the town from either direction all that can
be seen to mark the town is the tall spires
of the different churches towering above the
trees. The city has a population of about
5000 inhabitants, all smart and energetic
citizens. The business houses are mostly
built of brick, the stocks of goods large and
complete, and the merchants are all doing
a good business, and as the saying goes are
''well heeled." The city has the best of
hotels, and they are crowded all the
time The streets are broad and
lined on either side by beau
tiful trees. and around each residence is a
beautiful lawn Waseca has some of
the finest residences of any town / have
been in in long time. Among the best [
will mention A. P.Jamison's, r. Miller's,
W. G. Wards and B. S. Lewis, each cost
ing from six to ten thousand dollars.
Waseca has one of the handsomest public
school buildings in the state, built of Man
kato brick, at cost of S25, 900. 1t also has
a fine brick opera house, one of the finest
Touring mills i'll the state, with capacity
OF 200 barrels per day and operated by
Everett & Auvenbaugh. There are several
large business buildings being erected this
season, as well as many handsome resi-
dences. The city has two newspapers, the
Herald and Radical, both a credit to the
city. The Chicago & Northwestern and
Minneapolis & ST. Louis railroads cross at
this point, giving the travelling public a
chance to go East, West, North or South
almost any time of day. AS l said be-
fore the city is located upon the banks Of
Clear lake. This lake is three miles long,
one mile wide, and beautiful drive around
it, its sloping banks being fringed with
lofty trees. Just across the Lake is Maple
wood park, owned by the Methodist Epis-
cOpal society. There is forty acres in this
park. The Methodists were holding camp
meetings there last week. There is lovely
little steamer on the lake that makes regu-
lar trips to the park every fifteen minutes,
and the lake is constantly covered with row
and sail boats of all sizes. / met Judge
Woodbury., one of the oldest citizens in
Waseca, and through his kindness was
shown around the city and taken across the
lake, in row boat; to the park. l had to
laugh to see the judge sweat while pulling
on the oars. 1 wanted to rest him, but he
was afraid the boat would capsize, and then
the daily papers would have drowning
special. If the readers of the GLOBE want
to find a summer resort they can find one
here where they can spend the time in
fishing and rowing, and lying around in the
shade. II. S. l..

The commencement exercises of the fif-

place at Normal hall on Thursday evening,
before very large audience. Normal hall
was never more tastefully decorated At
the rear of the rCstrum large banks of flow
ers were arranged, and above these, on the
wall, was the class motto in dark letters
with white background ''per aspera ad

form were also covered profusely with
flowers, and the windows were tastefully
ornamented by flag coverings, interviewer
with evergreen. The class, eleven in num-
