| WASHINGTON, March u.-It1 /
very emphatic announcement to make
them understand the president when he
| gave it out that the men who received
appointments under his first administra-
tiOn will not be called upon to serve the
country during the coming four years,
but when the candidates finally realized
that Mr.. Cleveland usually means ex-
actly what he says they began to depart
for their homes. AS result, the crowds
at the White house were much smaller
than they have been so far. and there is
prospect that the president will be
able to get down to work next week. OF
the large South Dakota colony that
came on to the inauguration, but few
members remain. Gen. Maris Taylor
was surveyor general of Dakota under
the first Cleveland administration, and
begins to realize that the new rule will
reach his case, although he IS after an
other Office, that of commissioner of the
land office. Gen. Taylor will return

new man has corralled the plum now
held by Gov. Stone, of Iowa. This rule
disposes of Col. NJ. w. Sheafe, of Water
town, who would like to be United
States marshal. Ae was given a place
in the Watertown land Office eight years
ago. and is consequently barred this
time.
Nlaratta Also Out.
In North Dakota Chairman Dan Ma
rata was given good office eight years
ago, and would seem to be caught by
the new rule, although he has his eyes
on the Office of commissioner of Indian
affairs. His papers are not yet on file,
but his case has been presented to the
president. He does not make the ap-
peal that Judge Mclean. of Illinois, has
in seeking the Office of commissioner Of
pensions. Under the first administra-
tion Judge Mclean was the assistant
commissioner, and he now desires the
higher Office, claiming that his appoint
ment would be the best possibIe recog-
milton of civil service reform. But
President Cleveland has different idea
as to the proper manner in which to
carry out the civil service reform prin-
ciples, and does not propose that
it shall be made use Of
merely to keep one set of men
in Office. So far, Capt T. A. Dunlava.
of CrookstoI. who wants to be made re-
ceiver of the local land office; George
n. Baxter, formerly United States dis
trict attorney, but lately candidate for
solicitor general. and few hundred
candidates for poStmaSterships, nave
been the only Minnesota men whose
chances have been early blasted by the
new rule. Mr.. Baxter was really hardly

gave him good reason for entering tho
lists. Of course, this new rule is
mighty hard on the ex-federal officials,
but it has served good purpose already
in driving several thousand men out of
the city who have been worrying the
president greatly. Many of them return
home decidedly warm in their collars,
but the president does not think that
they have any real reason for their
anger He gave them good places once,
and they ought to be satisfied. he thinks.
The Minnesota colony was dimis he'd
this evening. by the departure of large
crowd, headed by G. NJ. Foote, of Min
neapol is, who returned from New York
this afternoon, and at once prepared to
leave for home. In tine party are Bert
SAWYER, DR.. Hunter and Dr. Freeman,
of Minneapolis; Capt. T. A. Dunlava,
of Crookston, and Capt. II. H. Hawkins,
of Carlton. MIR. Foote feels confident
of the Minneapolis postoffice at the
proper time, although he has not sug-
gested it to the administration thus far.
Capt. Hawkins will leave his Alaska
gubernatorial boom with Maj Baldwin,
and hopes that he may be called in, time
to blow up to Sitka with the first warm
breeze in the spring. Capt. Dunlav
goes back feeling that his chances are
hardly up to those Of a new man, but
still hopeful. w. p. Reamer, of st.
Cloud, left TO-. home today.
