New YORK, Nov. THE New York Heralds
Washing ton special says
We have it on good authority that Secretary Stan
has been requested to resign, but that he
will remain in charge of the department. The
report that he and the President have had misun-
ders standing in relation to appointments in the
regular army is totally untrue. The President has
fully cOncurred in Mr.. Stantons action in regard
them
At the cabinet meeting, to-day, all the members
were present, including Mr.. Seward. 1t is under
stood the Mexican question was fully discussed.
1t is ntimated here upon good authority that the
President WILL in his forthcoming message to con-
gre 9, lay before that body amendment to the
constitution similar to the passed by the last
session of congress, with few notifications
The west requires the removal of President Roll
Inns. The President has declared that q removal
will occur but he leaves the selection of
Mr. Rollins in the hands of the secretary of the treas
ury The secretary has already declared his prefer
ence, in case of change for Vim. Spinner, of Ohio.
The secretary of the interior has received from the
president of the Atchison i Pixies Peak railroad
company an affidavit, showing the completion Of
the second section of twenty miles of said road
The permanent commissioners will probably within
few days, proceed to the lines of the road to
inc the section.
The headquarters of the department of Tennessee
have been transferred from Nashville to Louisville
The President to-day appointed Jos, B. Williams,
of Iowa, register of the land Office at Fort Dodge,
Iowa. and I. n. Bedford, of Nebraska, register of
the land Office in Nebraska territory.
The returns received at the general land Office
at the falls of St Croix, Wisconsin, show that 720s
acres of the public lands disposed of during
October, of which 1915 taken up for ac-
sales amounted to s., Dos.
The New York Tribune's Washington special
says
JOS Gaylor, the well known special agent of the
post office department, is here at the head of
mttee of special agents for the purpose of revising
the regulations and arrangements relative to regis
tered letters The agents have been in consultation
with Post Master General Randall nearly all day
and have near y matured their plan, and they meet
tomorrow i'll New York for further consultation
The principal feature is to furnish the postmasters
with large sized envelopes printed in brilliant cOlors
and made conspicuous from their size and appear
that they cannot be easily concealed stolen
by any person having charge of the opening or
closing of mail pouches At present registered let
tiers do not differ much in appearance from ordinary
letters, and often be captured by a skiIlful
thief without detection.
The system of records and receipts now in nae
has been found useless. 1t s confidently expected
that the new plan, when fully matured will give
much greater security registered letters bring that
important part of mail service into more general
use and raise 1t in the public estimation The value
of good system of registry to business people can
not be over estimated The prescribed system will
be great improvement over that now in use
