Cabinet Meeting.
Secretary Fish and Postmaster Gen
eral Creswell were the only members of
the Cabinet present at the meeting to-
day. Secretary Robson had accom-
panied the Grand Duke to Annapolis; :;
Secretary Belknap is in Iowa, and Sec.
retary Boutwell, and Attorney General
Akerman were attending the Supreme
Court in the
Kentucky War Claim Case,
which was expected to be decided to-
day. If the State Of Kentucky gains
its case, it is understood that certain
railroad companies will sue for writs of
mandamus, to compel the delivery of
sundry subsidy bonds that they claim,
but have thus far failed to obtain.
In his argument to-day before the
Supreme Court, in the Kentucky war
claims case, Attorney General Akerman
contended that the Secretary of the
Treasury had entire supervision over
all Government moneys and had an
undoubted right to refuse to pay
any claims presented against the Gov
ernment, even though Congress had
made a special appropriation for the
payment of the claims and that no one
could control the Secretary but :he
President.

cisco to-day to the effect that Miss L.

The President and Minister Cat
acazy.
The statement given in an Adminls-
tration paper in this city, in its account
Of the visit of the Grand Duke to the
President, that Minister Catacazy
advanced to the President, shook hands
and presented the Grand Duke, is said
TO be erroneous, so far as the shaking OF
hands is concerned. In consequence OF
mis- continued misbehavlor and his
personal calumny of the President,
the latter some time past issued lnstruc-
tiops to Mr.. Catacazy, that during the
the visit he must confine himself to the
official act of presenting the Grand
Duke; further than this he was told
not to address the President, and he did
not offer his hand.
The management Of the Russian
LEGATION passes this day from the hands
of Catacazy to those Of General Gorlotf'
who will be a very acceptable person to
the authorities here. This relieves the
President of the unpleasant duty
which Mr.. Catacazy would have other
wise made a necessity-of sending bis
nassports to the Minister, and may be
regared as a practical compliance with
The reouest of the Government. 1t Is
understood that Mr.. Catacazy has been
ordered by his Government to wall
upon his Imperial Highness the Grand
Duke during his tour in the United
