WAsntxoroE, D. C., Oct. W.-The appoint
mcnts In New York CIty hsvc given the Cabinet
more tro,1b1e than most any other Of tho ap-
polntments. There has been nn!te sharp h1l-
tagonieEn between the different members uf The
Cabinet,w!th respect To them. Tho situation IL
this: 1t is determined that Theodore Roosevelt
Is to 10 Collector md Gen. Merritt either Sayal
officer or Surveyor. The name Of Robinson
has never hcen seriausly considered for Saral
Officer. The publication Of Its name In con-
nectlon with tliat Office arose from the fact that
he WAS with the President in Rholc
1aIand. When Secretary Evarts returned from
New York recently he earnestly favored
promoting Benedict. Deputy Surveyor. to sue
eecfi Sharp as Surveyor. This Was approved by
George William Curss. who

only desIrtsi TINT the officers be competent,
strongly opposed tho appointment Of Benedict
ou the ground that rs Arthur Is ren,ovcd. not

he represented systcm which the President de-
aired to abolish, there WIS no reason
for the promotion OF Benedict, who, according
to the testimony Of the Jay Commission, not
