WASHINGTON, 18th May, 1910.

Yesterday and to-day the city has been filed
with rumors of changes, designations and reno
walls in the Cabinet. will coninc my remarks on
,his subject TO what consider the state of facts
It's said that both Kendall and Forsyth have re-
signed, or are about TO resign. Now, l believe
Kendall has given notice of his intention 10 retire
from the Post Office Department, and that it IS
probable he will be succeeded by MIR. Armstrong
nrTennessec. The preteXt for resignation is i'll
health. The true cause rs, the Rhode Island, the
Connecticut, and the Virginia elections : TO which
must he added, the breaking up of the Baltimore
Loco'Foco Convention, without DONG anything,
and which seems to lie considered here as the
signal for dshandng the molly crew that have
so long deprecated upon the public treasury
Before the day Of reckoning arrives, Kendall
wishes to provide for himself Howls this 10 lie
done will tell yon.
Some weeks sncel Informed You that Mr.. Ea-
ION. our Minister to the Court Of Spain, was recall
ed. II is now said, that Kendall is an applicant
for that station. If this be true, it explains the
rumonr respect ing Mr.. ForSyths resgnno. 1t is
notorious that Forsyth despses Kendall, as low,
vulgar, unprincipled mercenery The station ola
Foreign Minister is IN the department Oh ota'e'-
The President would not make the appointment,
without consulting the Secretary and the prob
ability is, that Mr.. Forsyth would resign sooner
than consent TO such di>graccul selection as the
nomination OF Mr.. Kendall would be 10 the coun-
try and the administration. Mr. Forsyth may
have so expressed himself. If he has, Mr. Van
Buren, is no, the man to take the responsibility OF
appoin1inc Kendall on Foreign Mission, in OPP
position TO the views ofthc Secretary Of State. II
is in this way however, that ! explain the rumor
ofForsy,h's resignation, which disbclieve.
The CARD of the Secretary Of State continues to
excite the ire Of the genuine loco iocos. An hon
representative from Mississippi, speaking of him
this morning, said" He is a id Wing N dis
guise, / ,pish, old Jackson tDas here, he Douid
dismiss him in half an hour" These dcnuncla-
tons NAV be heard every day, uttered hy some
one ofthe loco foeo factIonsts, and applied to Inc
different heads Of departments. The Secretary al
War MIR Poinse,D receives, think, more than a
full share of the mprccations otthis piebald party,

After the adjournment of the Van Burcn Con-
ycntion number of the delegates visited this city,
and called on the President TO congratulate INN,
ON 1hc unannty with which they had agreed up
ON him as their candidate for reelection. II is
said. that many Of them were of the opinion, that
ic Congress adjourned without passing the SUB
TREASURY Bill seeing the party had the power
10 pass il, they might strike their flag without t
struggle. Their blind followers hadbeen taught
10 believe. that the Sub-1rcasury Bill would re-
move all the cmbarrassmenis of the country, an,
therefore il must be passed, whatever might h'
the future consequences. These opinions have Lee
10 a caucus among the managers, and Their de
csion is to pass the bill IN the present month, o
very early in june
The Wings will agree TO take up the bill forth
with: but they will oppose its passage in ever,
s,a"r thai il is presented. They consider the mca
sure iramght with nnumerable ills; that it ha
been the cause ofncary all that the country ha
suffered, and they will, therefore, do every thin
in their power to avert the threatened evil. ;
