WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, Oct. ga brief cabi-
net session was held to-day.
Tyner's resignation indicates that he
has given up the fight.
Ex-Custodian Pitney will answer
some of the charges in the Moline re-
port.
The total amount of bonds embraced
in the l05th call, received to date, is
81. 700, 900.
The resignation of First Assistant
Postmaster General Tyner has been
accepted by the president.
1t is reported that Tyner has rendered
to President Arthur his resignation as
assistant postmaster general.
The democrats are opposing the con-
firmation Of Straham as postmaster at
Lynchburg. He is Mahone's friend.
The eighth annual convention of the
Women's Christian temperance associ-
tion commenced its session yesterday.
Tyner asserts that he never has made
any expenditures for the star route SER
vice without first consulting the post
master general.
Howe will be nominated tomorrow
for attorney general, and it is quite
likely that the senate will adjourn to-
morrow evening.
1t Is stated that Folger has been Of
ferred and has formally accepted the
treasuryship, and that the president
will nominate him tomorrow.
Judge Lawrence, assistant comptrol-
Ter of the treasury. has decided that
Guiteau's witnesses, living over 100
miles outside of the Jurisdiction of this
court, cannot be paid by the govern
ment. ..
The belief that Conkling is ulti-
mately designed for the secretaryship
of the treasury seems almost universal
here, and If he were at liberty to ac-
cept it. it is believed the president
would have appointed him.
Senators are getting impatient at the
presidents delay in forming the cabi-
net. In the executive session motion
was made to adjourn sine die, and dur
ing the discussion it was announced
that the president would not delay the
senators longer than Friday evening.
Prominent Indiana men are en-
deavoring to secure the appointment of
Gen. B. Wright as auditor of railroad
accounts. A petition in his behalf,
bearing, among other names, that of
John G. New, was sent to the president
to- day.
Secretary Window had long inter-
view with President Arthur this after
noon. The secretary says that with
the close of business to-day his admin
istration as secretary of the treasury
virtually terminates. He will be at the
department part of the time for the
next few days.
In granting an adjournment Of Gui-
teau's trial to the 14th inst, and no
longer, Judge Cox said: "If this was
an ordinary case Of voluntary arrange
ment of the counsel to enter the case,
he should say the case should not be
subordinated to other engagements; but
1t was condition not to be disregarded
that the order of the court had taken
counsel from the performance of other
engagements.
The democrats think that Sherman's
modification Of his resolution regarding
the treasury matters, has taken away
its vim and force. Senator Farley,
who was instructed on Friday to get
the testimony out on which the Moline
report was based, has not REQUIRED to
the subject and does not intend to. The
feeling among the democratic senators
is that it will be much pleasanter to
have the matter taken up when the
house meets as the members of that
body will not be restrained as are the
senators by courtesy to Mr.. Sherman.
