WASHINGTON Jan. 10-The ITa
bune's Washington dispatch says ii
has long been know by some friends
OF Secretary Fish that his retire.
ment from the State Department
was determined upon by him near.
ly a year ago, and there has never
been a time since his appointment
when he would not gladly have re.
turned to private life. He accepted
the position originally under pro-
test, and was only induced to re-
main in the cabinet by the earnest
and frequent solicitations Of the
President. Nearly a year ago, when
the President decided upon the re,
moval of Motley as Minister to En-
gland, it was arranged that Fish
Should succeed him, but owing to
the breaking out Of foreign war, it
was thought as troublesome com
plications might arise, Fish's ability
and experience would be of greater
service to the country at the head
of the State Department, and he
was induced to remain.
For several months past it has
been known to the friends of Fish
that he would retire al soon as a
suitable successor could be found,
and a change will be made at the
close of the present Congress.
Senator Morton will then be ap-
pointed Secretary of State, and
political reasons which a few months
ago prevented his acceptance of the
English mission, will have been so
modified that he will be enabled to
accept, as his successor will not
take his seat before December of the
present year.
