New YORK, Feb. 90 The Worlds
Washington special says: In spite of
clear party majority which the Republic
can party has in the Senate, no little
anxiety is felt lest the decision of the
Tribunal would meet with disagreement
in the Senate as it will tomorrow in the
House. and it was curious circumstance
that Blaine and Conkling were too i'll to-
day to be in their seats. In the next
Senate change of three votes will trans
fer the majority from the Republican
party to the Democratic party, and it is
not passing without notice that Conk-
ling's friends in the State of New York
are receiving during the closing hours of
Grants Administration places from
which Hayes oRn Gust them, with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate; mean
while, the air is full of rumors which in
dictate an unsettled state OF public opinion
upon the political relations of prominent
| Senators. No question, however, in
spite of any doubt which may still exist
on the Oregon question, however, in
shadow Of Hayes Cabinet preparation,
has fallen across the Senate. Evarts and
friends are fully convinced that he will be
offered the leading portfolio of authori.
tative envoy. He has, however, expected
here daily those who may upset good
many of the representations aud plans.
Friends of Morgan are by no mesns dis
posed to see New York recognized in the
Cabinet otherwise than in his person,
and in the Treasury Department, and
but for friends of Morgan, Sherman
could never have carried through his
man at Cincinnati. Sherman's plan is
understood to induce Morgan to accept
the English mission and leave the Treas
ury to him. as the Treasury is post Of
responsibility without any real party ez
cept of the law party kind. Morgan will
be we'll advised if he accepts this arrange
ment. To be sure it would leave Evarts
out in the cold. but he ought to be ac-
customed to that by this time. As 70,
Stoughton, II Morgan takes the English
mission he will have the Attorney-G Gen.
eralship. All this is counting premature
chickens, perhaps, but Cabinet gossip il
outcropping on every hand. The Pacific
Coast now intends, it ia said, to demand
representation in the Cabinet, and Sar.
gent and Mitchell are named in con.
nection with it. Republicans all seen
to agree that Bristow will not be il
Hayes Cabinet. 5n..
