Sp1cllatiolS as to the Probable
Successor Of Mr.. BriStOV.
STEPHEN A. HURLBUTO OF ILL,
NAMED AS THE MAN.
Treasurer New 10 Retire
from Office Soon.

Washington, June 10. Speculation was wide
spread to-day the subject of successor to
Bristow. Although the general impression has
been that Stephen A Hurlbut of Ill.,, will be
nominated, there was no admission from the ex-
ecutive mansion that such was the fact
Among other gentlemen mentioned as probable
to receive the appointment, were Messrs. Chand-
Ter. Cameron, New and Mr.. Conant the present
Assistant Secretary. Mr.. Cameron, however, re-
marked to a friend this morning, that he could not
accept the position even if rendered him. 1t is
believed that other important changes will follow
the retirement of Bristow, though this may in
measure depend upon who will be the new in
cumbent.
Mr.. Wilson, chief clerk of the department, to-
day rendered his resignation to take effect on the
first Of July.
For long time it has been known that Mr.
New has remained in his present position at the
request of Mr.. Bristow and others, and there is
now good reason to assert that this gentleman
will very shortly retire from the office Of Treasur
er of the United States. Certainly by the end
Of the present fiscal year Rumor has as
signed several gentlemen to the office as his sue
cessor. Mr.. Wyman, the present Assistant
Treasurer, has been very favoraoly mentioned
to the President for the position.
The correspondence between Mr.. Bristow and
the President has not been given to the press. A
formal reply of the President to the Secretary's
letter of Saturday was written to-day. The cor
respondence is brief and contains the usual formal
expressions of this character. Secy Bristow say
ing in his letter that he hereby rendered his resig
nation to take effect on the 10th inst, and thanked
the President for the honor Of the appointment
which he had conferred upon him, and also stating
his desire to give attention to his private affairs.
The President accepts the resignation with ex-
pressions of hope that in his retirement from pub
lie office the Sec'y will find that rest which he
could not have in his present position, and desr,
ing that the personal relations between them shall
remain in their present pleasant attitude.
