Cabinet Oh g

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The indiea-
tons are that there will be some changes
in the Cabinet fore the end of the
year. a gentleman who holds a high
public position and has held close per-
sonal and official relations with the
President for years says: "There will be
Cabinet changes wishin three months"
This gentleman also remarked that had
Garfield survived and recovered, his
Cabinet would not have remained intact
until the first Of next January. He
knows this to be a fact, and therefore it
was not to be expected hat President
Arthur would retain the Cabinet entire
which would not have been continued
under its creator had he lived. He was
satisfied that Gen. Arthur will want
some of the Cabinet offices filed with
men of his own selection.
