so sent by the New York committee to
some eighteen of these commercial

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. S.-The
announcement to-day of the appoint
ment of Charles S. Meserve of Spring
field, Mass, to be superintendent of
the Haskell Indian school at Lawrence,
Kansas, was not a surprise since his
probable selection had been known for
several days, but Indian Commissioner
Morgan requested that no mention be
made in the press until the matter
should be definitely settled.
The fact will probably be recalled
that DIR. Coffin of Lawrence was orig
inally nominated for this position, but
owing to certain objection interposed,
the appointment was held up by Secre-
taFy Noble for further inquiry, which
finally resulted in the selection of Mr..
Meserve, who is highly spoken of by
Commissioner Morgan, who says he is
eminently qualified for the place and
great results are to be expected under
his auspices, since it is the intention
of the Indian bureau to make this in
