New York, April 15.-The Herald's s
Washington special says: Gen. Scoleld,
is is said, is dissatisfied with his present
command and desires larger and more
important division. AS it is claimed
that it is impracticable to make any
material change in the division of the
Missouri or division of the Atlantic,
the new arrangement will probably be
in the southwest, possibly including the
Pacific slope. Among the plans under
consideration is one TO organize new
division, to include Arizona. New Mex
leo, Southern California, perhaps, and
Texas also. If this were done the In
dian territory would be restored to the
department Of the Missouri as desired
by Gen. Pope. and Arkansas would
again become part of the department
of the South. This it is said is likely
to happen at any event and the depart
ment of the Arkansas will then be
abolished. Gen. Scofield may be order
ed to the command of the new division
in the southwest, or he may go to the
division of the Pacific, and Mcdowell
may take the new division.

Threatening to Bring Malone Out.

Washington, April 15.-Infiuential
democrats threaten 10 bring out in the
senate next week Mahone's record Of
personal quarrels with democrats in
Virginia, and the manner in which
he escaped fighting a duel with Gen.
Bradley johnson, of Maryland. They
allege that evidence will be submitted
showing that Malone is brave only in
words, and while giving just cause for
attack, has escaped fighting duel by
questionable means. The drift of the
talk in democratic quarters indicates a
purpose ON their part to try and force
Malone into a position where he will
be obliged tofght. Up to this time,
however, he has dealt blow for blow,
and says he does not intend to submit
to any personal insults.

BRIEF TELEGRAMs.

Auburn, N. Y: Milo Goodrich, a
leading member of the bar and ex-con-
gresham, is dead.
st. Louis: Jack Cook was murdered
to-day at the notorious den Of widow
Kelly, two miles from Gainesville, by
two unknown men.
Dayton: Fred Hartman, German
veteran, committed suicide by hanging
himself with handkerchief at the
soldiers home this evening. He was
crazy;
st. Louis: A very heavy frost pre-
vailed over eastern. northern and
western Texas for two nights past, do
ing great damage to wheat, corn, fruit
and vegetables.
st. Louis: The Republicans Dallas,
Texas, special says: One of the largest
cattle transactions ever made has just
been closed by Messrs. Hughes, of st.
Louis, and Simpson, of Weathford,
Texas, purchasing the famous mil
lette ranch" for 100000.
Cincinnati: Hon. VIM. Means, the
new mayor who took his seat yesterday
evening, gave his proclamation tonight
to the effect that the police are directed
to enforce the Stubbs bill, stopping
Sunday theatricals, and will enforce the

the matter had better be decided at the
very beginning of the administration.
He says that the president did not want
to open any fight, but as it was made,
the sooner it is decided the better. He
says the president is determined to rec
ognize all the elements Of the republi-
can party, and will not be driven from
that policy.
The gentleman says further, that the
adviees of the administration are that
Cpnkling will not seek to smother the
Robertson nomination in committee,
but that he, too, proposes to make a
square fight, relying on the senate to
sustain him; that Conkling will try to
get an adverse report on Robertson
from the commerce committee and
submit this report to the senate with a
speech endorsing it. Three members
of the commerce committee are openly
favorable to the confirmation of Rob-
ertson, but it is probable that major
ity of the committee will agree to re-
port adversely.
The president and cabinet are desir-
GUS of having some of the nominations
confirmed, and it is generally stated
and believed tonight, that an execu-
tive session will be held about next
Tuesday.

The severe.t storm OF the season


Boston, April 15.-Therew was very
severe storm all along the coast last
night and this morning. A number of
vessels are reported ashore.
New York, April 15.-The reports of
the incoming craft show that the storms
prevailing are even worse than those Of
midwinter, and have been unusual in
duration and range. The vessels from
the South American coast and Bermu-
das, have been caught in gales almost
without exception, some being partial
ly wrecked, and others suffering terri
BILE hardships. Several vessels are now
ashore on the Jersey coast.
Plymouth, Mass, April 15.-It was
showing and blowing hard all night.
Two vessels are ashore near here.
Newport, R. l., April 15.-There is a
heavy snow storm here. Considerable
snow fell during the night.

Washington, April ia delegation
of Virginia republicans, headed by
Congressman Jorgersen. called on the
president to-day and begged OF him not
to encourage Malone or to encourage
any republican coalition with him.
Representative Jorgersen was the prin-
cipal speaker, and he assured the pres
ident that the Virginia republicans will
not form any coalition with Malone.
He said the republicans want straight
out republican ticket, and any at
tempt to force an alliance with Ma
hone will be fatal to the party. A
straight republican convention will be
held in ninety days to nominate a
straight out republican ticket for state
officers in Virginia. Itwas intended to
nominate Gen. Wyckham, for governor,
but his business will prevent him from
running, and the present purpose is to
nominate Col. Mosby, now consul at
Hong Kong. Instead of appointing
more readjusters. the delegation urged
the president to remove those now
holding office. The president said he
would thoroughly consider the oues-
tion and act for the best good Of the
republican party. Jorgensen thinks
they have stopped any chance of afiilia-
tion with Malone.
Gen. Miles is here to-day. aud says
the Whitaker court martial will be
wound up in two weeks.

Chicago, April 15.-The Times
Washington special says: When one
realizes the situation at the interior de-
partment 1t is hard to understand how
Garfield could have selected Kirkwood
as member of his cabinet. The old
gentleman never had any executive
ability. He is one OF the most honest
men in the world, and though the in
terror department would get away with
his reputation If he did not personally
attend to every detail, he will sign no
document without first reading it, and
has determined will, which makes
the clerks powerless to evade his or
ders. He never knew how to protect
himself from the swarms OF Office
seekers. The work of the department
is believed to be Just as many weeks
behind as have elapsed since Kirkwood
assumed the duties of secretary. The
letters and documents are several feet
high on his desk, while bales in the
adjoining room await attention.
There is great danger that the Indian
supplies for this year will be delayed
beyond the time for shipping them to
the extreme northwest, unless an In
dian commissioner can be confirmed at
an early day.
Kirkwood's retirement from the cab
met, of course, means that he will be
cared for somewhere else. as he gave
up his seat in the senate and so he can
not be sent back to private life. Kirk
woods going out, too, will make the
first break, and perhaps give some ex-
cuse for general eruption of the cabi-
net, that everybody in Washington now
believes is not far distant. The Blaine
people are in favor of recognizing, but
it is fact. that within the last two or
three weeks Garfield has become dis
trustful of Blaine. One of Garfield's
chums says that the president now sus-
poets Blaine and regards him nearly as
much as his personal enemy as Conk-
ling. When the climax is reached,
Blaine intends to retire from the cabi-
net and make capital for himself. 1t
is doubtful If Mr.. Blaine himself can
remain long in the cabinet. unless he
secures entire control, as the president
now distrusts him. Gen. Garfield at
the present time is not worrying very
much, and he is represented as in a
bnovant humor
