RUMORED CABINET CHANGE.

. oropy WHICH POSSIBLY GROWS OUT OF THE IN
TENDED ATTACK BY SENATOR HOWE TO-DAY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, March 24.-Among the sensational
minors afioat in Washington during the past day or
two is one that an important change in the Presl-
dents Cabinet is soon to take place. This report
saems TO have grown out of the fact that Senator
Howe will. tomorrow at 1 o'clock deliver the
,neecb he has prepared on Louisiana affairs, and
which is understood to contain some very severe
attacks upon the Southern policy Of the Admins
tratiOn.
The story is that this speech is to be followed by
others In the same strain, and that IN order TO pre-
vent the Republican party in Congress from placing
Itself in open antagOnism to the Administration,
the President WILL IN Difference to what is believed
IA be the general sentiment call 10 his Cabinet some
representative of the radical wing OF the party
To do this 1t would, of course, be necessary to ask
the resignation of one of his present Cabinet Minis
ters. This is the substance of the story which is
mite extensively circulated. but of the truth OF
which nobody seems to have positive information.
Snch policy would be so unlike President Hayes
that there little probability OF any movement Oh
this kind at present.
The Democrats of the Senate held an informal con-
ference Yesterday to determine what course they
should pursue in general debate of the Presl-
dents policy should follow Mr., Howes speech The
almost unanimous opinion was that 1t would be
wiser for the Democrats to take no part IN
IT, but to use the language OF one oil their
members, to allow the Republicans TO wash
their own dirty neni at u, the same LIN e'e inn,
petuous and ready of speech, could hardy 3e re-
strained from having his say II the debate shoul4
grow warm and 1t was determines tiit SOM u
wise him to allow the Republicans to discuss THIS
matter wholly among themselves.

Constantinople, and drive the Sultan from Europe
The corrcspOndcnt adds "The only hope of
peace is in the speedy assembling OF the Congress.
That hone. however, throughout Russia is fast
fading. The belicose excitement is intense, even
