The Cabinet Meeting To-day.

There were several subjects of interest dis
cussed at the Cabinet meeting this afternoon.
The Ponca troubles and the reported invasion
OF Indian territory were talked OF, but as no
information On these points was in the posses
sion Of the government, it was decided not to
take any action. Time will therefore be taken
until the government is informed. The Nara
gansett- Stonington disaster was up for conSid-
GRAFTON. AS 1t is believed in many quarters
that the local inspectors at New London were
negligent, 1t was thought that instead or allow
ing them to make The investigation. that it
should be so organized and conducted as to tn-
clude an inquiry as to whether they were not
themselves to blame. In order to do this re-
port will first have to be made by the SUPER
vising inspector general at New York
that the conduct OF The local inspectors at New
London should be looked into. That off1cill
will be communicated with by Judge French,
acting Secretary OF the Treasury, and the in
vesiigation ordered as early as possible. 1t was
an nounced that Gov. Hartranft had Signified
his intention Of accepting the collectorship at
Philadelphia, and had sent on his bond. The
President stated to the Cabinet that although
Judge Lawrence of Onio, had once positively
declined the first comptTollership of the Trea-
sury, he had information from him which rer-
dered it very likely that he would consent TO
take tie Mace.
