A Washington dispatch of the 22d says:
1t Is an open secret that the cabinet is
breaking up. Window must get out of
the treasury, if not out of the Cabinet, and
Window and Mae Veagh are bent on
breaking down Blaine if possible before
they lose their grip. Garfield, who is
worn out with the strain upon him, does
not clearly know which side TO act with,
and the rest of the cabinet are virtual
nnnenties. kirkwood's incapacity is such
that the very clerks IN his department
laugh at him, and Hunt Is sick to death of
the routine work of the navy. Perhaps
the only really happy man i'll the concern
is Bob Lincoln, who nobody thinks about,
ami who fancies that the country is set
tling down on him as a great compromise

Thursday for New York. 1t is an open
secret that he goes east to aid IN matur-
ing Il plan for consolidation OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific, the Missouri, Kansas & Texas,
Texas & Pacific and the international Il
Great Northern railways. A controlling
interest in the three first named railways
is owned by jay Gould and his associates
in New York, and il is rumored in st.
Louis on the 18th that sale Was Yesterday
effected III New York to the same parties
of the International 4 Great Northern
Railroad, or at least a majority of the
stock of that road. The importance of
this transaction may be appreciated from
the following schedule Of the length of
the roads now about to be consolidated:
Missouri Pacific, 1000 miles; Missouri,
Kansas IL Texas and branches under con-
struciiOn, 1850 miles; Texas Pacific and
New Orleans and Pacific, l449 mics; In
ternational & Great Northern, 40 miles;
total mileage, 4490 miles. BY this consol-
idaIion an unhroken line of railroad com
munication will be established from ST.

this continuous line will be connected
with an extensive railway system now

On the 25th the steamship Victoria of
the Anchor line, from London, arrived al
New York and WAS quarantined with
several cases of small poX in the steerage.
The patients were removed to hospital
and the vessel detained at quarantine.
While the ship was being fun gated. the
physicians informed those On board,
nearly 1000 persons, that II would be
necessary for all vino had never been
vaccinated to submit TO that operation.
Cabin passengers and a large number OF
steerage people consented, but 100 of the
latter, Russians and Poles, made strenu-
ous objections One Polander said. II the
doctors come near me will knock them
DOWN" That's right, that's right eX-
claimed several Of his countrymen. Dr.
Smith requested a woman 10 bare her arm
to be vacrinated when she Knocked the
instrument out of his hand. Finding 100
passengers obstinate, the doctors re-
| quested the crew of the steamer To assist
in enforcing quarantine regulations. For
II time the scene resembled pandemonl-
UNI. Men shouted, women SCREAMED,
and 10 Use an expression OF one oI. the
spectators, 'iLhe atmosphere Was blue
with profane language" The doctors and
crew were hustled about pretty lively by
the Poles and Russians, and the women
I seemed inclined TO join i'll the melee.
One woman told the officers that raIher
than have her ten children vaccinated
she would knock out the braIus OF the
doctor. The crew of the quarantine
steamer were then called upon TO assist,
and the combined crews and doctors
renewed the attack, and every person who
would not submit to vaccination on the
steamer was taken by force on board the
quarantine boat and conveyed to Dix
Island, where they will be kept until they
are vaccinated.
