Washington Special to the New York Sun.
There is trouble Of a serious nature
between certain of. Grants Cabinet
| Ministers, and 1t is out of this I'M
pleasantness that the difficulty with
Delano originates. 1 do not speak so
much of the causes which lead to the
! demand on Delano for his resignation
as l do to the fight which is be-
ing made to secure his Teten-
ton. Il is no secret here that
Bristow and Jewell are unpopular with
the rest of the Cabinet, excepting, pos
sibly, Don Hamilton Fish. What their
unpopularity is traceable to l do not
know certainly, but from what l know
of Bristow I think it is due as far as
he is concerned to two things. First,
because he insists on running his de-
partment without reference to the Jobs
Of Belknap, Robson and Williams;
and second, because he has never
heartily entered into the third term
movement. Jewell is disliked for a
variety Of reasons, but chiefly because,
as OF of his brother Cabinet officers
puts it, "He wants to wash the dirty
/ linen on the street corners"
The third term has a great deal to do
with these Cabinet chickering's. Belk-
I nap, Robson, DelanO and Williams
have always been thestrong supporters
Of this scheme, and they don't regard
I Jewell, Bristow and Fish as sound.
T ley say that Jewell would be if he
knew enough, but with all his toad
eating Prociyities be is so v.ry stupid,
that he cannot divine the Presidents
wishes. He has to be told fatty what
is wanted. But when this is done no
one could be more eager than he 10
comply.
The departure Of Williams from the
Cabinet was not owing to any misun-
derstanding between the President and
himse f. The truth is, he believes that
the Democratic tide is irresistible. and
he is only a very shrewd old rat taking
the lead in leaving a sinking ship.
The Presidents brother, Orville
Grant, has a fight with John DelsnO
on account of the transportation of
goods to his trading posts. Young
DelanO Is interested in the transporta-
ton Of Indian supplies, and Orville
wished to have his goods transported
free as Governm mt supplies. Hecould
notmanage it with the army, and so he
tried it on with the Indian Bureau.
Here came the rub, and he is on the
war path, and vowshe viii help take the
scalps of the DelanOs. But this is only
a side Issue. The charges against See
rotary Delano are more serious, andthe
sUficieEcy Of the proof is unquestioned.
The question is, will the President suf-
fer him to 90 out IN disgrace:
Special to the Chicago Times.
The Cabinet meeting Of yesterday
was not a very harmonious one. Just
now there are two parties in the Cab
met. Jewell, Bristoe and Fish make
up the better portion, while they con-
stantly find themselves opposed by the
other members Of the Cabinet. Bris-
tow and Fish are very earnest with the
President in urging uponhim the great
good that he can do by selecting the
best men possible to fill Cabinet
vacancies. In brief, they want him
to take one little step toward imprOv.
ing the character of his appointments,
so that the party will be gamers there.
by. They think that nothing would
strengthen the administration more
than a wholesome change in the style
Of the Presidents appointments.
Upon the other hand, the Robson
Belkuap class Of Cabinet officials do
not care to reflect upon themselves by
talking about the claims of better men.
