Mr. Henry Voss has finished the fight for the superintendency of the construction of the new Omaha postoftice building and he has come out a winner. He was notified yes- terday afternoon that he had received the appointment, and about the same time Mr. Beindorfl was notified by wire that his vices as superintending architect of the ilding would not be required longer. Mr. Voss naturally feels gratitied over the result of the struggle, since he has been obliged to meet and vanquish an unusually bitter array of opposition Governor Boyd, on being asked what he thought of the appointment of Mr. Voss and of the unusual fight that was made against the appointment, said: *“Mr. Voss isa rep- resentative German-American citizen, an ar- chitect of more than ordinary ability, and competent in every way to discharge the duties of the position. And, contrary to ade 4 cortain Omaha paper, the appointment was not hastily made. Mr. Voss' application and papers hud beea in the hands of vhe Treasury department ever since the inauguration of President Cleveland, ud there was scarcely a politician in Omaha who did not know that he was a_prominent candidate for the position. Again, contrary to assertions made in the same paper, thit numerous prominent members of the purty plead long and earnestly with me against pushing his candidacy, the facts are, that but two dem: ‘ats spoke aught to me against him, and one of these withdrew his remark and’ opposition_before T asked for Mr. Voss appointment.

Affuirs of the Leeds Land Company Belng Rapidly Settled. Siovx Crry, In., April 22 —[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.] ~On January 7 the heavi- est failure in the history of Iowa was re- corded here, when the Leeds Land and Improvement company went to the wall with liabilities of 1,600,000, and carried down with it the American Security and Trust company, trustees for the Leeds company's bond, and the Sioux City Land compuny, the three companies having a capital stock of 3,000,000, of which two-thirds was held in_Boston. To duy negotiations were practically completed \ke the Leeds company’s affairs out of courts, dispose of the receiver aud re turn the bustaess to the company. Of the linbilities, #1.000,000 was bonded indebted. ness, secured by mortgages. This has been by the issuan of new bonds. I'he maining $00,000 was indebtedness in curred by the purchase of lands and in con ducting the company's business. The Henderson, Hamilton syndicate held the largest of these claims it being for §200, 000, partly for money loaned and partly land purchase money duc. It was a junior claim however, being far. behind those held in Sioux City and has been settled at the rate of about 50 cents on the the promissory notes being about 30 cents and the mortgage indebtedness for about 70 cents on the dollar. The prior claims, nearly all of which were held in oux City, and which in substance W. l et for £38,000; ‘I S.
