NO INFORMATION.
Secretary Window states that no intimation
has been given him as to who his successor
would be, and Attorney General McVeagh says

| SHARP HIT.
| Commissioner Raum, in letter to New
York, says: 81 think the bankers of the

upon the observance of contracts and enforce
ment of laws should set the example to other
tax-paying citizens by showing willingness

| Both Democrats and Republicans met IN
caucus this morning. The Democrats dis
cussed the committee question, and without
agreeing upon any definite plan Of appoint
ments, merely decided to oppose the adoption
OF Edmunds' resolution.
The Republicans remained in session but
short time, discussing the general situation,
and took no decided action on any particular
question.
The Democratic caucus, in the afternoon,
authorized Garland to amend Edmunds' reso.
luton, so as to create list Of not more than
ten committees, or such as may be made neces-
sary by presidential communications, for this
session only, and thus save expense and faclli-
tate public business.
JANfEs AND w1NDoM
In consequence of earnest appeals Post
master General James is to remain in the cabi.
net until after the star route trials. 1t lis not
improbable that Window may hold on until
December also, that when James goes Arthur
can succeed Window By New Yorker. I'm.
less James goes now the president will feel
obliged to choose Windom's successor outside
of New York.
BOUTWELL,.
Ex-Governor Boutwell, assures your cor.
respondent that he has not been offered nor
declined the treasuryship
ANXIOUS TO GO HOME.
The senators are anxious to adjourn by Sat-
urday, but the president wants them to stay
until he goes and returns from Yorktown so
as to confirm some cabinet nominations.
CABINET SPECULATlON.
There is much speculation with regard to
cabinet changes. Secretary Window was
asked if his visit to the president had any
connection with his retirement. He replied
that it had not and that no official communi-
cation on the subject had yet reached him.
1t is pretty we'll settled that WINDOWS sue
cessor will be named at this session of the
senate and there is every reason to conclude
h. E,>1 of
New York. Window informed the
president to-day that he could make
the appointment as early as he pleased. with
out in any way incommoding the present sec
retary. Window said he had all affairs of the
treasury in such shape that he could retire at
any time with entire justice to himself, and he
is willing to retire carly. Window is really
anxious TO leave the cabinet and look after his
senatorial election. Republican senators who
have talked with the president, say that all of
the new cabinet will be nominated before the
close of the present session Of the senate. Blaine
is desirous of being freed from the state de-
partment and says he has large business ar
raDgements in view which he wants to take
hold OF. Talking to party OF friends, Blaine
said he was gratified for the opportunity for
once to be entirely relieved of all official
responsibilities. He said he believed office
holding had hampered him hitherto, and he
reJoiced at the prospect Of future freedom
from duty to the public. He proposes to en-
gage largely in business enterprises.
MacVeagh also informs the president
that he would be pleased at an
early 'release from the cabinet. In
fact all the members of the cabinent who feel
assured they are to be relieved prefer, If 1t is
entirely convenient to the president, to have
their successors named before the senate ad-
journs that they may the sooner make ar
ranpementS for their future.
Ex-Gov. Routt, of Colorado,i is being urged for
cabinet position, but it is not believed he viii
win. A Republican senator said tonight he
felt confident Lincoln will be the only men,
Der Of the present cabinet retained. He said
it Is not necessary to retain James In order to
have vigorous prosecution of the star route
ring; that Bliss, personal friend
OF the President, will devote
himself TO the prosecution because he realizes
that President Arthur must enforce deter
mined prosecution to meet public sentiment.
The cases are made up as far as can be for
tr al and James remaining at the head of the
postotfice department cannot in aEywise fa-
cllitate tha prosecutions. James has also
again informed the president that he is ready
at any time togive way to his successor.
RECESS PROBABLE.
Senator Johnson, chairman of the York
town commission, thinks the senate will get
through and adjourn by next Tuesday, the
opening day of the centennial celebration, but
the prevailing opinion is that the SEN
ate will not be ready to adjourn before
the last of next week, In that
case recess will probably be taken for visit
to Yorktown, and the senators will accompany
President Arthur to the celebration.
MALONE.
Malone was questioned tonight in regard to
Jubal Early's attack on him in Richmond, last
night, and asked if he intended to take any no.
tlce of the epithets coward and liar. He said
he had given the matter very little considera-
ton, and did not now intend to allow himself
to be drawn into a personal difficulty. He
thought it late in the day for him to vindicate
his courage, personal or political.
NOT DECIDED.
MacVeagh said tonight that the president
told him to-day that the names of his and
Windom's successor had not yet been decided
upon, but would be very soon.
