dered to but two persons, ex-senator Roscoe
Conkling and Ex-Governor E, d, Morgan,
OF New York. The President first called
Mr.. Conkling to his Cabinet. The latter
did not decline in positive terms, but on
his recent visit he represented his objec-
tions, personal and political, to acceptance.
The state Of Mr.. C0nkling's health is pre-
sented now as the serious obstacle. The
President, at the suggestion Of his friend,
as well as on bis own judgment, then ten
dered the portfolio to Governor Morgan,
who has held the subject under advise
ment for ten days past. On Friday the
Governor declined on the twof0ld ground
OF his advanced age and the difficulty he
would have in disencumbering himself OF
his large business, In fact, the questions
Of eligibility under the act organizing the
Treasury Department must have arisen.
The President returned to his original
and earnest desire and again rendered the
Secretaryship OF the Treasury to Roscoe
Conkling. The latter has Conditionally
consented, the state OF his health being the
only barrier. Should Mr.. Conkling's ply
siCians determine that his acceptance will
not be prudent at present, Mr. GiltIllan,

ably take the position temporarily. Judge
FoIger will probably be nominated to the
Supreme Court ear ly in the ensuing session
us soon rs action can be taken on the case
OF Justice Hunt, The other Cabinet nomi'
nations are undecideds The names OF ex'
Senator Sargent, Senator Spencer, Chauncy
|. Filley and Gen. Longstreet arc among
the coming possibilities, The impression
Is general that only Mr., HOwes name will
60 into the Senate tomorrow.
The difficulties which seem to surround
the selection Of u new Cabinet, was the
subject OF some derisive comment tonight
by a well known Blaine politician from
New Hampshire, A Stalwart Senator ut
once replied that Arthur could easily make
q Cabinet should he think 1t wise to go to
the Senate for II, as did Garfield, who took
three from that body, very seriously Grip
pling his party by doing so,
Ex-senator Platt, OF New York, arrived
here to-day and called upon the President,
in company with General Grant. He says
he Is now here on political business,
TYSgR's STATEMENT.
Judge Tyncrs statement has been pre-
pared, and will bC laid before the Presi-
dent probably tomorrow, after which II
will be given out for publication. The
statement madesby friends OF Tyner, Is to
the effect that he early called the attention
OF POstmaster.Gene James to the exist
ence OF his report on the Oregon and Cali
fornia Star Routes, Is denied by high
pOst-oNice officials. They say that
not until NICGrew was removed
did Tyner produce his suppressed report,
all the facts in which had by-that time be-
come known to James from his own inves-
tigations, II Is thought that Gorham will
relieve the Republican Senators OF some
embarrassment by withdrawing as a candi-
date for Secretary as soon ssargents name
Is sent in as Secretary Of tho Interior.
Gen. Grant positively disclaims making
any effort TO shape the Cabinet by advice
or solicitation. Nor is II true, he says, that
he has urged the retention OF Tyner.
THE SUPPRESSED TREASURY REPORT.
The so.called suppressed report upon the
Custodian's office in the Treasury Depart
ment, called for by Mr.. Sherman, will be
read tomorrow In the Senate. 1t will bea
disappointing document, being mainly an
exposition OF the illegality Of the office OF
Custodian. Upton, French and Powers
make replies and explanations In
regard to their connection with
the transactions investigated, and as
these will be Of more interest in the
testimony taken they will undoubtedly
be called for. This is very voluminOus;
It was taken geographically and covers
1000 pages Of foOlscap. Nearly all Of 1t
being given under oath, 1t is said 10 have
