nue.. Joseph B. Healing 70 be district attor-
ney for Indiana and Rel. James L. Critics.
of Rensselaer,, to be chaplain in the army.
The latter appointment was secured by
Representative Crumpa,c ,cker. Sixteen APP
pointments of Indianisns to postmaster
ships also were sent IT, the Senate. The
Senate announced batch OF combinations,
among them that of Rsbert Z. Mansfield.
of Indiana, to be CONSUL at Valparaiso,
Chile. Among the posimasters appointed
to-day are the following in Indiana:
William c. West, Farmland
l.. V. Buskirk. Bloomington.
William Stevens. Columbus.
John w. E. Ward, Co. verse.

There was some surp}ise when the name
of Fred Kimbley, of Orleans. Ind. editor
of the Progress-E -Exami iner. of that city,
appeared among the sst of postmasters.
Senator Beveridge recommended him for
appointment shortly before his departure
for his trip around the,world. Later, pro-
tests were made on th4 ground that KIM
bley had published edito torials in his paper
strongly censuring Preiident Mckinley for
his delay i'm having the United States go
to the rescue of Cuba. and to war with
Spain. Senator Beverage being away the
recommendation was hsld up until his re-
turn, and nothing more was heard OF the
matter until the appointment was made
to-day. In Kimbley's editorials he alluded
to the President as coward and a man
without any backbone but since the war
he has stated that hS realizes that he
made a mistake and WIS somewhat hasty
in attacking the Presiddnt. This statement,
however. does not prev.nt the friends and
admirers of Mr.. Mckinley from opposing
the appointment Of kiIsbley, and II is un-
derstood that Senator tIanua will attempt
to prevent the confirmation OF the appoint
ment if it is taken up lsy the Senate in ex-
ecutive session.
