as very important among railroad men, would have been

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THH rRrBUSI.I
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-An announcement made
to-day that the new Secretary Of the Interior is to
be Mr.. c. Dawson Coleman Of Pennsylvania is
not official, having come from subordinate
in the Interior Department, to whom the secret
was ntrused by Mr.. Deano. The truth OF
it is even now gravely doubted by many per-
sons who surely ought to know. member OF
the Cabinet who certainly has the fullest confidence
of the President and who is believed to have been
consulted on the subject, shakes his head doubtfny
when Mr.. COleman's name is mentioned, and says
that if the report of his appointment is true he does
not know It. From the best sources Of information
it is learned that when the President accepted Mr..
Delanos resignation, the latter desired TO give
the correspondence between Gen. Grant and himself
to the press but he requested by the President
to withhold il until the question OF the succession
was fully settled. When Mr.. Delano left Washing
ton, he placed copies of the correspondence in the
hands of friend with directions to make il public
on receiving dispatch from him. Such dispatch
came on Sunday night and as Mr.. Delano was not
expected to send il until he heard from the PTes-
dent IL was universally supposed that the name of
the new Secretary would he announced at the State
Department Oh Monday. There can be no doubt
that Mr.. Coleman was the man the President had
selected "A week ago. At least, he gave several
persons to believe SO, and il is the preya
lent opinion in the city that Mr.. Coleman has ac-
cepted, though the failure to announce his name
officially and the nature of the replies made by menl
bers of the Cabinet when asked abont it, throw q
cloud of dust over the whole matter. They give
rise to the suspicion that something has occurred
which has dsarranged the Presidents plans. The
announcement of Mr.. COlemaus name was a genuine
surprise as he had nowhere been mentioned in con-
nection with the appointment, and was almost un-
known to all except few Pennsylvanans.

John and Joseph had disappeared-had

James Hoskins, who resides about two
miles west of Dodgeville, missed an old
horse and cutter on Wednesday morn

that they borrowed" the horse and cut

suit, but up to the time of our going to

of $50 is offered to any one who will ar.
