to Northwesterners.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. d. c., March 12.-Sec-
rotary Window was besieged with callers
all the morning, among his visitors
being Hon. John Lind and the sixth
auditor. The latter official has rendered
his resignation, and there is Minnesota
man whose application for the position
receives very favorable consideration
by the secretary. His name has not yet
been given out, but it is understood
that he is an ex-postmaster. Inasmuch
as the sixth auditor deals wholly with
postoffice accounts, it is urged that
the eX-poStmaSter would be eSpe-
clally well-fitted for the position.
w. l.. Bew, whose nomination to be
postmaster at Rhinelander, Wis, was
sent to the senate to-day, is one of the
most active Republican workers in the
Ninth district. Congressman McCord IS
greatly delighted with the appointment.
w. w. Thomas will be reappointed
minister to Sweden. Congressman Lind
says that Mr.. Thomas is well known to
all ScandinavianS in America, and his
appointment will be gladly hailed by
all the members of the race in Mime
sofa and throughout this republic One
OF the most promising candidates for SUI
perlntendent of the railway mail service
is Col. John jameson. of Wisconsin. He
was formerly general superintendent,
and had been in the service from the
time he was mere boy until dismissed
by Villas. He was private secretary to
Col. George S. Bangs, the first superin-
tendent, and remained in that position
under Superintendent Vail and
Thompson. The Office of assistant
superintendent of the railway mail ser

it-With ability. Gen. Cyrus Bussey,
whose name is mentioned as candi-
date for the position of assistant secre-
tary of the interior, was one of IOwa'S
best soldiers, having been colonel of the
Third Iowa cavalry, and made brigadier
general for conspicuous gallantry. He
is leading Methodist in these times of
Of peace, being an intimate friend
of Bishop John r. Newman.
Col. Dick Root, to-day nominated to be
postmaster of Keokuk, TO-, is leading
politician in that state, and was former
ly United States marshal. He could
have a better Office, but has business
interests in keokuk, and is satisfied to
remain there as postmaster. 1t looks
as though John Il. King, of Rapid City.
will be assistant commissioner of Indian
affairs. He is an old Iowan, and so is
Secretary Noble. with whom Col King
is on the be best OF terms. President
Harrison also favorably knows King
because of his work for the open
ing of the Sioux reservation and
the division of Dakota. Exon
gresham Hazleton. of Wiscon-
sin, has withdrawn from the fight for
commissioner of the general land office,

litical significance, although he will not
