WASHINGTON, April Hon. Mark
Dunnell called ON Secretary Window
this morning and came out happy,
although declining to state what offices
had been promised him for his con-
stituents. Mr.. Dunnell has secured the
appointment of Henry Birkett, of
OWatonna, as special agent of the land
office, also the following postmasters:
William A. Vance, at Houston; Charles
d. Beaver, at Richardson's; Napoleon
Bonaparte Bigelow, at Claremont.
William W. Juncken, of Iowa, was
to-day appointed Indian inspector by
the president. He is an old-time resi-
dent of Fairfield, To-, where he pub
fishes the Ledger, prominent weekly
paper. Mr.. Juncken has been one of
iowa's Republican leaders for many
years, and is known all over the state.
Lawrence Fisk, postmaster of Hatton,
Dak., resigns and recommends Sarah
Thompson. Eighty-nine citizens unite
in the recommendation. David Boyle.
of Lebanon, resigns and recommends
Frank Riley, 1O5 citizens concurring.
E. c. Flannery, of Hillsview, resigns
and recommends Albert Sutton, forty
two citizens concurring. Delegate
Mathews visited the post Office depart
ment to-day for the first time during his
term without taking any papers to file
for appointments. He said: ''There
are plenty of applications at my house,
but have had no time to open and ar
range them yet" Concerning the ap-
pointment of Gen.Shields to be assistant
attorney general for the interior de-
partment, Secretary Noble says: Per
sons having appealed land Office cases
may he sure of fair and lust treatment
from Gen. Shields. He is my personal
appointment. That is, solicited his ap-
pOintment at the hands of the president.
have known him many years, and will
take all responsibility for his work. He
will make no mistake in law OF fact. He
will deal justice impartially, and there
will be no frauds under his administra-
tion. He is superb lawyer, hav-
ing formerly been the law part
ner of John B. Henderson, of
Missouri. The land office appeal cases
will not bother me during my term of
office, for Gen. Shields will attend to
them entirely. He is fifty-five years
old, vigorous and energetic. Your
Western people will like him. He is
interested in Mississippi river improve
ments, and one of the leaders in that
| matter" Minister Hicks took the oath
| of Office this morning at the state de-
partment. This evening he entertained
at dinner Walter Blaine, Don Fredrico
| Elomore, late Peruvian minister; Sec
retary Rusk, Senators Sawyer and
| Spooner, Robert B. Lines and William
| Elroy Curtis. He leaves for home to-
morrow, and will sail about May for
| Callao, via Panama. EX-Congressman
Hepburn, of Iowa, to-day stated that he
is not expecting any appointment from
| this administration. He was an appli-
cant for solicitor of the treasury, but
has had no encouragement to expect it,
and wants nothing else. Iowa Repub-
licans will stick their tongues in their
| cheeks at Harrison after reading this.
Hepburn deserved better of tie grand
old party. Gen. Clarkson was too ill
to-day to 90 to the postoffice depart
ment.
