Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON June 6.-MinnesOta and
Dakota delegations here are in high state
of excitement over the announcement that
Secretary Lamar has sent a large list OF ap-
pOintmentS for the Northwest to the Wmte
house. He sat up until , o'clock last night
wrestling with them, and after making
long list laid them aside until to-day, when
he sent them to the White house. OF
course there are many cOnjectureS and q
thousand gueSSeS as to what names are on
the list. but nothing more than guesses can
be had. 1t is definitely learned, however,
that no nomination for surveyor general Is

what they thought was the object Of Secre-
tary Lamar in asking Mr.. Campbell to call
upon him day or two ago. Mr.. Campbell
has not hesitated to speak out his mind
about the propriety of appointing man
who had never been Democrat to so I'M
portant position, and it is probable that If
Secretary Lamar asked his opinion of him he
gave it. Mr.. DOnnellys friends are good
deal elated over the fact that the man ap-
pointed surveyor general of Dakota was not
practical surveyor and say that this removes
the most important barrier to Donnelly's s
success They are good deal
worried, however, that Secretary Lamar
should have called on Mr.. Campbell for
Donnelly's record. Anti-DOnnelly men are
confident to-day that they have scored a
pretty strong point against him in having
shown the president that
DONNELLY'S CHIEF SUPPORTER
is the Pioneer Press correspondent who
gave to the public the story that the presl-
dent and his sister had quarrelled and that
Miss Cleveland would not return to the
White house. He and Donnelly appear to
be close friends, as shown not only by his
support of that gentleman in his dispatches,
but by the fact that DOnnelly is a very fire.

Platt 3. Walker of Minneapolis left for
home Yesterday on receipt OF telegram
announcing the very dangerous illness of a
member Of his family. His prospects OF
appointment as member of the Mississippi
river commission are considered very good,
though there is no prospect of immediate
action The list of appointments sent to
the White house by Secretary Lamar did
not, it is understood, contain any name for
GOVERNOR OF DAKOTA.

will be selected for that place. Ex-senator
Wilkinson leaves for home as soon as the
charity and correction conference closes.
His prospects for the district attorneyship
seem to be about evenly balanced with
those of Brisbin, though it is not probable
there will be any action in the Minnesota
officers until after the surveyor-generalship
is settled. 1t is expected that the case of
the Minnesota collector of internal revenue
will be taken up some time during the pres
ent month and be disposed of. Biermann'S
name is the only one so far before the de-
partment, and he is pretty sure to be ap-
pointed The absurd stories sent from here

In a few days with every prospect of ap-

has sent the claim of o. W. Streaton for

settle certain law questions regarding it.
StreatOn is very hopeful as to the result.
