F1e Doesn't Say Eguch That Lets Kim
Out Very Far.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1l.-Attorney-Gen-
cral 3IacFeagh. has returned from New
York, where he visited President Arthur.
lie stated to I'LL Associated Press reporter
today that the relations between them have
always been, and now are, Of the klndest
possible character. The statements published
to tho contrary, including the pretended Cab
met scene, were sheer fabricatioas. lie says
the sources from which they originated were
so well known, aud they We're SO improbable
on their face, that no denial of them WIS
necessary. and the only thing from such
sources which could cause him the slightest
annoyance was praise, and TINT, he knew,
he was III no danger of receiving. AS to
misrepresentation Of his position in the star
route eases, he suid he only knew of one safe
rule in politics, as in other things, to RIO what
YOU thought right, let consequences ta1e
care of Themselves; and Intelligent people
formed their opinion Of = man, NOT by what
happened to be published about him one day
or another, btl5 by the general tenor OF his
life and character. lie ended the cohVersa-
tion By saying. that no proposition had ever
been clearer to 4i1l than that his own
usefulness either rs n me1nber Of the
Cabinet OF as representing the ioyernment
i'll the star-rOute cases was absolutely ended
at Tie death Of l'resldent Garfelu- ANY
subsequent supervision OF THOSE eases by
him was inevitably calculated, in his opi1l-
ion, to give the, erroneous impression that
they were still being conducted BY the past
Administration rather than tile present; and
such Impression, he thought, would be very
Injurious indeed to the cases themselves.
Snch were his deliberate convictions. Upon
them, he said, he stood from the first, and
upon them, OF course, he must stand to the
end. 80.

those uf the present year. The War Depart
menr calls for S3.eoo, ,op5 more, mainly ON oc-
count Of the increase Of the prices Of sup
plies of various kinds. This advance in The
lna,ker will also affect the naval a;ad the III
dian estiniates. Tile Interior Department
will ask for Sl00, ,0Oo, COO fer pensions alone-
about one-third of the total revenues Of the
Government. About Sti5, ,cdn000 Of this are
on account of arrears of pensions 1t IS not
yet determined whether
TIE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY .~
will send in estimates for rebuilding our
present navy and adding the forty-two ships,
lis recommended by the Advisory Board. 1t
is expected. however, that tile Secretary will
transmit this report and its estimates Of
3l.o00: 900 to Congress as 4 separate locl1-
llcnt. The requirements Of tile Post-Otllce
Department, III the way of deficiencies, will
be considerably less than the Naval. The
report Of the last quarter shows that the re-
ccipts were only $50 900 below the eNpendi-
lures, which is very pleasant approach to
being self-sustained.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Trsb4ne-
. WAslsiNGToS, D. C., Nov. 11.-'rhe result
in Virginia, which is now detinitly ascer-
tanned to be III favor Of the Readjusters,
makes it practically certain that the United
States Senate will be under the control Of
the Republicans, at least after 1883. There
is no reason to think that Malone and Ills
associate, who will be elected at that time,
will not vote with the Republicans, as Ma
hone has. .done. At all events, they are not
likely to vote with the Democrats, and in
other States, while the Republicans have 4
probability Of gaining two or three Senators,
the Dcmocrats are likely to lose and not gain.
II the Democrats have. really secured the
New York Legislature, their leaders
here insist that they will rcdistrict
the State so that there will be no more
Republican Senators for soine years: Itis
difficult TO ste how they propose to do this.
However, with a Republican Governor hay
ing a veto power,
THE VIRGINIA HOURE0S5 SAY
that, notwithstanding Mahonc's victory. it
will not result in putting the Ri,ldleberger
bill into operation, rs the decisions Of the
United States Supreme Court will prevent
that. Adyices received here make it proba-
ble that the claim Of tho Readjusters to at
