WASHINGTON, June l6.-Contrary to ex
pectations, the President has sent in the
name Of Amos T. Alderman, of Georgia
for attorney general. He was born in New
England, but has resided in Georgia 70,
several years.
The house yesterday morning rejected
Logan's substitute for the committee report
on the Cuban question, and subsequently,
adopted the resolution offered by Mr.. Bing-
ham authorizing the President to use the
good offices Of the government to stop the
oruelties of the Cuban war. Mr.. Bingham
laims that the resolution actually recog
nizes war, and consequently belligsrency
| The vote was l03 to SO.
Two senators IN the confidence Of the
President told many members YESTERDAY
morning that he would reconstruct his cabi
net and inaugurate radical changes in his
foreign policy. This implies that Mr.. Fish
wall 60 out. These promises secured the
defeat of the majority report on Cuba. The
cabinet meeting on Wednesday is reported
very excited.
The Ways and Means Committee TO-DAY
directed Generel Schenck to report . bill
repeating the duty on ell kinds of coal. In
reporting it to the House it was sent to the
Commi,, of the Whole, and the impres
sion is it will not pass.
! The st. Domingo Investigating Commit.
| tee to day finished taking evidence. They
meet this evening to complete their reports
majority and minority. The majority com.
/ pletely exonerates Babcock, showing that nc
evidence Was ELECTED indicating that there
was any improper influence used in securing
/ its negotiation.
! The Senate Finance Committe are in ses
| sion again to-day on the Tax and Tariff bill
| They viii add considerably to the free list
The tariff dvty on pig iron and Bessemer
steel will remain. No decision has been
reached. A majority of the Finance Com
nittec is decidedly opposed to the National
Bank BILL. which passed the House yester
| day.
New YORK, June 1.-THE excitement IN
our markets for -four and wheat yesterday,
was something remarkable. The sales OF
wheat considerably exceed 100000 bushels.
The French we're large buyers, and their
presence in the market led to an active
speculation. A further large advance is no,
improbable. Great Britain, as appears by
late circularsyis no, getting any foreign
wheat, except from :he United States. The
demand at this market for the Continent has
interrupted her supplies, and she will soon
ieel the want of them, but the most import
ant fact is the falling off of the receipts st
the lake ports, which, according 10 the sta
I ,istics, we're, for the week ending June /
| 81, 900 bushels of wheat and $500 barrels
Of -four. or reducing the -four to wheat, equal
to 10000 bushels of wheat, less than for the
corresponding week last year. This in con
nection with an increased demand, can
hardly be over estimated.
The officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship
| Company are not alarmed for the safety OF
the Henry Chsuncey. 1t is known that the
steamer connecting with the Chauncey out
ward has arrived at San Francisco on sched
ule time, so that there is no doubt that the
Chauncey arrived safely At Aspinwan. The
Chauncey would not leave Aspinwall for
New York until the regular San Francisco
steamer Constitution, has arrived at Psnsma
and delivered her passengers and freight to
| the Chauncey. There ia no news yet of The
arrival of the Constitution at Panama. The
| officers of the company believe that both
ars safe, and that the detention is due to
some arrangement of the machinery Of one
or the other.
