would be rejected more promptly than before

IgY TELEGRAPH TO THE IRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON. March 15.-The latest pohucai
rumor in Washington is that the President intends
70 try the temper Of the Senate again by sending
il the names of two new candidates for the Collcc-
torship and Naval Office in the New-York Custom
time that there has not existed IN the
Treasury Department that cordial feelng
toward and complete confidence in, General Arthur
and Mr Cornell that are conducive to the smoothest
working of the official machinery but 1T has not
been understood that the friction has become so
great as to prevent proper and efficient transac-
tion of the public business, or TO make the Adnlhls
tration anxious TO engage in another contest with
the Senate, such as would be sure 10 ensue Ii any
changes attempted.
The President has, until very recently land there
is no reason publicly known 10 lead TO the behef
that he has changed his mind understood pretty
we'll the attitude of the Senate toward the New
York Custom House question, and has not been
disposed to reopen contest that could only end IN
q worse defeat than before.
II Is hardly possible that the recent confirmation
of several nominations that generally opposed
by Republican Senators can have led any member
of the Administration TO suppose that the President
is gaming friends in the Senate. Those conhrm-
ations have been due to the apathy and absence oi
Ropublican Senators and not to the conversion OF
any of them On the other hand the President Would
NOT nov, receive that earnest support from the
Democratic Senators which his nominations
commanded before. The Democrats then supposed
that the Administration had sufficient Influence 10
furnish the few Republican votes needed for the
confirmation of Messrs. Roosevelt and Prince. with
the Democrats substantially soiid and II they had
not supposed they wOuld not have TAKEN SO PROM
lnent part in the contest.
New nominations now would be rejected much
more promptly than before.

THE YELLOW FEVER sCOURGE.

Terrible tidings of the effect of that

half of the entire population had already

of some size, the population had decreas-
ed to about 200 souls, the rest having
either died or fled. The cities along the
rivers are using every Eeans to prevent
the disease from gettinga start. Steam
ers upon which the disease has broken
out are prohibited from landing, and at
Cairo, ILL.,, the cars that cross at that
point from the Mississippi Central rail-
road, are locked and no one is allowed
to lerve the train. As yet there have
been no cases of fever at that place and

taken will prevent its appearance The
