ed assistant attorney general for the Post

Indiana he has long since ceased to be iden-
titled with Indiana interests. Mr.. Tyner is
acknowledged to be one of the very best
posted men in the United States on the
laws, regulations and usages bearing on the

ana and the patronage hunters will try to
induce the President to put it down to
personal account" as he is in the haDlt
of doing in Ohio appointments.

shown at once into a private room and ac-
a long interview with the

subject was not exhausted in this prelim-
mary discussion No definite time has been
set for the departure of DR.. Angel for his
new post, but if he is guided by the wishes
of the department and by the desires of
Minister Terrell, who is extremely anxious
to be. relieved, this will not be long de-
ferred.
