TrrD hAa
several days past Of impending changes in the
Cabinet. The story goes that owing to want of
harmony between the President and the Secre-
tary Of State on the Cuban question, Mr.. Fish
will shortly retire and that his place will be
filled by Gen. Butler. 1t Is stated also that
owing to the growing strength Of Secretary
Boutwell,, he looms as q formidable candidate
for the Presidency, which has weakened the
good relations heretofore existing between the
Executive and himself, and that he will conse-
quently withdraw from the Treasury Depart
ment with the view Of placing himself in train
ing for the Senatorship now held by Mr.. Wilson,
and availing himself of such opportunity Is NAV
be presented in the campaign OF To- It is Ros-
slipped further that Attorney General Hoar will
also retire at An early day, to be succeeded by
Hon. Mr.. Davis, now Representative in Con-
gress from New York. No other changes are
named specifically, but it Is held that these vii,
lead b the resignation Of Secretary Cox and
Postmaster General Creswell, and that an
entire reorganization of the Cabinet will be
likely to follow. OF course We give no credence
to these statemsnts, but since they have been
made the subject Of dispatches and letters by
correspondents, telsgraphing and writing hence,
We give the stories, - part Of the history of
the times, for what they may bs worth. It
should be added that this sort Of gossip about
Cabinet changes makes its appearance rather
suspiciously when there is Q stagnation In the
news market.
