WASHINGTON, April 15.-These are
Minnesota days around the White house.
Yesterday three of the firSt-class ap-
poIntments were made within the limits
of the North Star state, and today the
president filed one of the most attrac-
tive and desirable diplomatic posts with
a Minnesohan. The favored gentleman
in this case is John w. Riddle, of st.
Paul, who was nominated for secretary
of legation at COnstantinOple. Riddles
appointment was strongly urged
yesterday by National Committee
man Doran, who called the at
tention of the president to the
qualifications possessed by the st. Paul
man and strongly urged his appoint
ment. Mr.. Riddle speaks French, Ger
man, Russian, and one of the Turkish
languages fiuently and spent three years
in Paris studying diplomacy with the
object of fitting himself for such posi-
tion as has been given him. The fact
that he was chosen for this important
position is a credit to the state for the
simple reason that his merits and learn
ing had more to do with his going there
than anything else. Mr.sRiddle is astep
son of Judge Charles Flandrau, the vet
eran Democratic jurist of Minnesota, for
whom The president enteTtains a very
high regard, by the way. Mr.. Riddle de-
sired at first to 20 to st. Petersburg in
the same capacity. but his friends think
the president has given him better
place.
The president sent the following nOm-
nations to the senate today, in addition
TO that of Mr.. Riddle: John II. Wise.
| of California, to be collector Of customs
for the district of San Francisco; Will
lam l.. Kee, of West Virginia, to be
chief clerk on private land claims in the
general land Office; Joseph S. Miller, of
West Virginia, to be commissioner Of
internal revenue.
