Garfield's Movemenfs-Cabinet TaIk-Ar.
rival OF congressman.
WASHINGTON, November 2Ssh. Garfield
leaves for home Monday morning. His pub
lie business has sadly retarded his private
matters. He was at the Christian Church
service this morning, and took tea with the
President.
The most absurd stories are afioat respect
ing his Cabinet and his relation with Sher-
man. 1t is safe to say that no person what
ever knows anything about the formation of
his Cabinet, and that his relations are most
friendly with Sherman. The latter, how
ever, will net be candidate for Cabinet po-
sition unless beaten in the Senatorial race.
{. Only about twenty Congressman are in
town, although Congress meets in week.
The Signal Service squabbIe-ProbabIe
Military Changes.
CHICAGO, November 2Sth.-The Inter.
Oceans Washington special says: General
Miles arrived to-day, and the squabble over
the Signal Service appointment has broken
out afresh. 1t is understood that both Hayes
and Garfield favor Hazen, and believe that
he will be appointed Ord will be retired
and1Iil will be given his place; but it is
understood that Ord objects to retirement
unless Mcdowell is retired Ord is never
theless past the retiring age, and his disin-
clination is considered ungracious. 1t is I'm.
derstood that Schofeld will, by permission,
take years absence. This will simplify
matters, for as he leaves West Point there
will be no place for him unless new depart
ment be created.
The Trouble In COIOradO-Unsati sfactory
statement.
DENVER, November 28th.-There seems to
be some mystery about the shooting of Lieu
tenant Governor Robinson at Robinson's
Camp last night. The particulars, SO far as
heard, are these: There is dispute about
the possession of mine there, and guard
has been placed to watch it. Last night
Governor Robinson and the manager of the
mine vert to it after dark. The guard Rot
recognizing them, and not hearing an answer
to the inquiry as to who they were, fred, he
says, into rock overhead. Governor Robin
son fell, shot in four places. He is still liv-
ing, but his wounds are believed to be fatal.
The fact that there has been trouble between
the miners and the manager daring the last
week, the guards story and the popularity of
the wounds, makes the theory that it was &C
cidental unsatisfactory.
