WASHINGTON, May 8.-The Cabinet
was in session FOR nearly two hours
to-day, during which the Arkansas
question was under consideration. It
was expected that the General Govern
ment would have mado some decision
in response to the many applications
from representatives Of the contending
factions in this case. but no conclu-
sions have been reached here as yet.
The decision of the Supreme Court,
favoring Brooks eide of the case, is in
such direct contradiction to its previ-
Gus decision. that the Legislature had
exclusive control of the question, has
the. effect to augment the difficulties
under which the General Government
rests in arriving at a solution of the
vexed question. This new phase of
the matter was talked of at some length
IN the Cabinet session, and the rever-
sal OF the former opinion of the Su-
preme Court OF the State occasioned
surprise. No member of the Cabinet
has made definite and positive express
sion OF opinion on the subject. All the
papers that have been presented in the
case were read to-day. There may be
some decision tomorrow, but there is
no certainty OF it, as the attorneys of
the different parties are continually
sending kilograms and presenting new
points and arguments that they are
anxious to have considered. A Cabi-
net official said this afternoon that the
Government was heartily tired of the
controversy. When its decision is
made, proclamation will be issued,
which, all will understand, must settle
the case.
