WASHINGTON, April Cat last PresI-
lent Cleveland aud Secretary Gresham
have succeeded in routing ont of Office
Henry w. Diedricb. of Fort Wayne. To-
day Otto Doederlin. of Illinois. was APP
pointed consul to Leipsic. Germany. to sue.
coed Professor Diedrich. and the change
is TO be arranged at once. 1t seems that
the popular Fort Wayne German has been
a constant thorn in the side OF this admin
istration. for no sooner was President
Cleveland Inaugurated than there was q
scramble for the Leipsic mission. and the
scramble was given all possible encour-
agement, with o view to ousting Professor
DIedrich at the earliest possible moment.
He was not accorded the regulation cour-
tesy of being permitted TO serve four years,
nor was he warned that the beadsman's
ak WAS about TO fall on HIS Official neck.
The appointments announced by the Presi-
lent to-day were:
To be Government Directors Of the Union Pa
ciiic Railway Company-Henry f. Dimick. OF
New York; Don NJ. Dickinson, OF Michigan; j.
". DOane, OF Illinois; FitZhugh Lee, OF Virginia;
Joseph W. Paddock. of Nebraska
otto D0ederIeiR, OF Illinois, TO be consul or the
United states at Leipsic.
David q. Browne. 10 be collector or customs FOR
the district OF Montana ana Idaho
A. L. sullivan. postmaster at Brooklyn. n. Y,
vice George j. Collins, deceased.
John A. Holman. of Indianapolis. who is
stopping at the Metropolitan. called 100
President Cleveland to-day, and then the
Controller of the Currency. He had some-
thing to say about the appointment of q
national bank examiner for Indiana. Con-
trOller Eckles said TO the Journal corre-
%spondent, to-day, that there were a large
number of applications on hle for this po-
sitiOn. and that the personal pressure for
It was very great. He would. hs said, give
the subject deliberate consideration before
he acted. The fact that q vacancy exists
would not move him to act hastily. He
wanted an experienced banker and q
man lifted TO protect the interests of the
government and the people who have
money on deposit in the banks, and at the
same time a man who knew enough about
the bankers side of the business TO be con-
siderate. Mr.. Eokies declares that while
he wants q Democrat for the position, fit
ness will be the first recommendation and
the highest recommendation. The contest
lies between Mr.. Pugh. of RushvIlle, and
Mr.. Packard, of Plymouth.
The designations of fOur Indiana Repub-
lIean postmasters of the fourth class were
accepted to-day and as many Democrats
appointed TO their places. The appoint
nicntS were AS lOiiOWS. DloRley, ADAMS

gage in the law business here with the firm
