There is no longer any doubt that this Credit Mober
scandal is to be the sensation Of this seson-the one
thing for which t will be remembered The two short
months that left will hardly be sufficient TO get to
the bottom of the matter covered by the resolution under
which the present committee is acting but unless am
greatly mistaken, it will give the country glimpse OF
greater field of investigation, which some future Con-

IeENRRAL PRESS DIsPATCHl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-President Grant yes

dispatch when asked whether there was any truth In
the published statement that William NJ Evarts was 70
take the place Of Mr. Fish Secretary Of State replied
positively and distinctly that nothing whatever OF
change at this time known that there was no em-
ber Of the Cabinet whom he wished TO change, or
specially desired to leave IT. II, however Mr.. Boutwell,
should be elected 10 the Senate of the United States and
In that resign his present position OF course the

had ntimated his wish retire at the end Of the
Administration the President hoped he would modify
desire by eonsenng remain Secretary Of State
until the questions growing out of the Treaty of Wash
ington were entirely settled.
The President oOnversed freely the subject Of the
Hawaiian Island affairs, saying that in view Of recent
publications concerning them it proper that Oil the
facts should be known which briefly as follows:
This Government had sent United States vessel to the
Hawaiian Islands 10 bring the King TO San Francisco he
having expressed desire 10 travel through this coun
try and thence go Europe for the benefit OF his health
About the time vessel arrived at Honolulu the King
died. This intelligence having been received by our
Government, the commander of the Pacific squadron
instructed to send vessel TO the islands, in ad
tion 20 she already there, simply to protect the
rights OF American citizens in Of emergency, and
that other nations should take undue advan-
tages under new government.
Gen. schoheld, who had been very sick, and whose
condition for time considered critical telegraphed
10 the President that he would like TO take trip on
National vessel and ready TO 60. The President
teegraphed TO him in reply that his health had been
bad and the voyage would be beneficial to him. he was
authorized 10 accompany the Commander Of the squad
ron, and that If he could render the Commander any
assistance by his counsel he would be pleased If he
should do Nothing more than this washcught OF by
the President He repeated, he simply authorized Gen.
schofeld accompany the Commander and said If any
report should him by Gen. schofeld it would
be altogether voluntary.

THE JANUARY THAW.

TELEGRAPH WIRES IN AND OUT OF THE CITY
u - DowN-ALTERNATE FROST AND THAW-THE
STREETS DESERTED AND TRAVEL IMPEDED.
The meteorological changes of the past 4S hours,
although striking have not tended 10 improve the
condition of the streets or to remove the obstrue
tions to traffic and travel Frost alternated with
rain the playing the part of artist in frescoing
gothic churches and beautfyng trees and the other
that of scavenger securing the sidewalks and
purging the streets
The rain yesterday froze it fell, and the tele-
graph wires were soon incased with ice which
attained such unusual weight that it became impos-
sible to send messages over them Broken wires
were to be seen in every street of the city, and many
links of the chain by which the police and fire
stations of the city are brought into close relations
were severed
Efforts were made during the day to renew the
couriers were employed in the evening to bear mes
sages from the precincts to Police Headquarters
Happily, however there were no large fres in the
evening, and it is to be hoped that the elaborate
system by which the various sections of the city
brought into communication will be reestablished
without delay
The city was cut off from the outside world, also,
for the wires of the Western Union Atlantic, Paci-
tic, and Franklin Companies were also down, owing
to the weight of the incrustations of ice.
Many of the cellars along South, West, Washing
ton, and other streets were flooded, and the damage
to stocks of goods is very great The streets and
churches were deserted for few had the courage to
face the Storm and the trips Of streetcars and ferry
boats were matters Of vague uncertainty.
