Mr.. IYNER AND HIS LITTLE REPORT,
The Coming Cabinet.

made by one who is in position to be
we'll informed: The Treasury depart
ment has been rendered to but two per-
sons Ex-senator Roscoe Conkling and
ex Governor Z. D. Morgan, Of New
York. The President tirst called Mr..
Conkling to his cabinet. The latter did
not decline in positive terms. bps en- his
recent visit he represented his ebjec-
tious personal and political to accept
ance. The state OF Mr.. COnkling's health
is presented now as the serious obsta-
Gle. The President, at the suggestion Of
his friend, as well as on his own judg-
menr, then rendered the port.
tollo to Gov. Morgan, who has held
the subject under sdvisement for ten
days past. On Friday the Governor
definitely declined on the twofold
ground of his advanced age and the
difficulty he would have in disencum-
bering himself OF his large business In
fact, the questions OF eligibility under
the act organizing the Treasury Depart
ment, must have arisen. The President
returned 10 his original and earnest de-
sire and again rendered the Secretary
ship Of the Treasury to
Roscoe Conkling.
The latter has Condtiionally consented,
the state of his health being the only
barrier. Should Mr.. Conkling's phv-
sicians determine that his acceptance
will not oe prudent at present, NJ. Gil
tiIldn, Treasurer of the United States,
vii. probably take the position temper
aTily.
Judge Folger will probably be
nominated to the Supreme Court
early in the evening session, as soon as
action can be taken on the case OF Justice
Hunt.
q, her cabinet nominations are unde.
cided. The names Of ex-senator Sar-
gent, Senator Spencer, Chauney l. IT,
ley and Gen. Longstreet are among tho
possibilities. The impression is general
that only Mr.. Howe's name will 20 into
the senate tomorrow. The difficulties
which seem To surround the selection
OF q new cabinet was the subject of some
derisive comment tonight by we'll
known Blaine politician from New
Hampshire. A stalwart senator
at once replied that Arthur could
easily make Cabinet, should he think
it wise to 20 to the Senate tor it as did
Garfield, who took three from that body,
very seriously crippling his party by DO
ing so.
Ex-senator Plstt, OF New YorE.
arrived here TO day, and called upon
the President, in company with Gen.
Grant. He saws he is not here on pO- |
litical business.
Judge Tyner's statement has been
prepared and will be laid before the
President 10 morrow probably, alter
which it will be given out for pubhca-
ton. The statement made by the
friends of Tyuer, to the effect that he early
called attention OF Postmaster General
lanes 10 the existence OF his report on
the Oregon and California Star Routes
II denied bv high postothce officials.
They saw that not until McGrue was re
moved did Tyuer prodace his suppress
ed report, ali facts in which had by that
time become known to James
from his own Investigations.
IL is thought that Gorham will relieve
the Republican Senators OF some EN-
barassment by withdrawing as candl-
date for secretary as soon as Sargents
name il sent on as Secretary OF the ln-
terior. General Grant positively dis
claims making any effort TO shape the
Cabinet By advice or solicitation, nor IS
it true, he says, that he has urged the
retention OF Tyner.
WASHINGTON, October - 1t is now

Grant Providing for His Friends
General Grant, it is rumored, brought
to the President information OF Nor
gan's willingness TO accept the Secrsta,
rvship of the Treasury. 1t Is sl'o sald
that Grant is pushing General Beale tor
Secretary Of War, but as to all the Cabl-
net Grant maintains his characteristic
reticence. On one point, however, he Is
aot reticent. He makes NO secret OF his
friendship for First Assistant Postmaster
General Tyner, and OF his sympathy
with Tyner in his present fight TO retain
his position. Tynrr had ano her inter
view with the President this morning,
which was arranged for him by Grant.
