Especial Despatch to Ihe Tri6une)
LATER CABINET RUMORS.
WAsHlNGToN, March Awhile the
cabinet appointments telegraphed yester-
day are not entirely official, there is no
doubt of the selection Of McVeagh for
Attorney-General, Kirkvood for Secre
tary of the Interior; Blaine for Secretary
of State and Lincoln for Secretary of war.
Morton was given the choice of Navy or
French Mission, and is said to have &C.
certed the latter. Conkling and friends
were firm not to approve the acceptance
of New York man for anything but the
Treasuryship, but it is understood that
Garfield would not give that to the east.
The selection of Mr.. Window is not set
tied beyond revision, and in reply to a
republican senator, yesterday, who said
'you have chosen good man in Win
dom,' Garfield merely replied, with a
sigh, IL am hard prcssed.' McVea CHS
appointment develops strong opposition
among stalwards in Pennsylvania and is
especially distasteful to the Camcrons.

mental to public interest that | am
obliged to take this action,
