Special to the SENTINEL

WASHINGTON d. c., January 2.-Charles
Foster has been offered and has accepted
the Secretaryship of the Interior. This
statement comes from a gentleman high in
place.
Garfield has positively made up his mind
TO offer the Secretaryship Of the Treasury
to Levi 7. Morton, within a few days.
1t is pretty we'll settled that the Pacific
Coast will be given a representative in the
Cabinet. Congressman Horace Davis is
very favorably spoken Of foI the position
Of PoStmaster-General
1t is said on high authority to be a ques-
ton in Garield'S mind whether to give the
Postmaster -Generalship or Attorney-Gen-
eralship to the Pacific Coast. Sam Wilson,
| one Of the most prominent lawyers Of San
Francisco. is very urgently pushed for the
Attorney Generalship. These two plans
are under advisement. No decision has
been reached.
Mr.. HAYES having learned that Morton
was to be taken into the next Administra-
ton. rendered him the SecretaryShip Of
/ the Navy, which Morton declined on the
ground that he did not want to take the
Navy Department just at this time.
Garfield has made one request about
New York appointments, which clearly in
dicates his position toward all. Colonel
Sheppard has acquired prominence in New
York State politics by fighting ConkllnS'
and he is an applicant for District Attor-
ney, to succeed Stewart L. Woodford.
Garfield requested Hayes to appoint shep-
pard, but Hayes has not been anxious TO
make these anti-Conkling appointments.
Fvsrts has been mainly instrumental IN
deciding upon energetic action in these
New York cases.
Blaine is to be the Premier Of the COM
ing Administration, and II anyone thinks
Coukling will get very much from an Adj
ministration where Blaine is principal ad-
wiser, he must be 8 very credulous child OF
nature.
Don Piatt, one Of Garfeld's most init
mate friends, has an editorial in the Capt.
tai on Lord Roscoe which is the sensation
Of the town, saying, God might have
made s. more despicsble wretch than RoS-
coe Conkling, but He never did, and that
IF there ever wsS q doubt before Of Conk-
ling's criminal intercourse with the wife OF

The Senatorship question in New
York State is becoming very complica-
ted. Levi P. Morton, since he has been
unable to get the Treasury portfolio IN
Garfeld's Cabinet, has announced him
self as candidate, and Yesterday the
rumor that Gen Grant would be IN the
field caused much CONSERVATION among
the various factions. 1t is generally
conceded that Grant could be nomina-
ted if he would accept. The Tammany
men have put in their appearance and
say they are for any man to beat Conk-
ling's favorite.
John E. Swift, one OF the U. S. Com
missioners sent to negotiate treaty with
China, has arrived in San Francisco. lie
says that the treaty contains clause re-
serving to the United States the right to
terminate at any time the residence OF
Chinese laborers in this country. They
also gave the Chinese government to
understand that their people could not
become naturalized in this country.

Neither branch OF Congress accom- :
pllshed much solid work yesterday.
In the Senate Conkling and Logan are
still at work trying to get affairs fixed so
that Gen. Grant snail not starye to
death. Their bill was referred to the
Committee on Military affairs. The bill
for the relief OF Ben Holiday, which has
occupied the minds OF the solons
for the last nine years was again taken
up for the fourth time this session. No
action was taken on 1t however. The
army appropriation bill was reported
and placed on the calendar.
In the House. Goode, chairman OF
the Committee on Yorktown Celebrs.
tion, reported back joint resolution,
which passed, requesting the President
to extend an invitation to the peo-
pie Of France to attend
the Centennial Anniversary Of
the surrender of CORVALLIS at York

was taken up and discussed at some
length. 1t will probably be acted upon
to-day.
In a recent interview Commissioner
Bentley expressed the opinion that the
aggregate OF the arrears OF pen

estimates that near 10 per cent, is paid

THE CHINESE TREATY.

A Few Important Points-Strange Omen
of Dissster-Sixty-Four Lives Lost by
Drowning.
SAN Francisco, January l0.-The Coll
tomorrow will publish an interview with
John f. Swift, one OF the Commissioners
10 negotiate the treaty with China, who
returned by the steamer Gaelic, to-day.
He states the report regarding the treaty
published by the New York Herdh and
tele2rsphed to this coast, was autheHtic.
Information contaiHed therein, having
been impaired by the Commissioners to
the Rrr0id correspondent who accom-
panied the Commission. Mr.. Swift
says, in addition to the points hereto
fore made pubic, the treaty contains
a clause reserving to tie United
States the right to terminate at
any time the residence OF Chinese
laborers in this country Ii was
also tactly understood that the Chinese
can't be naturalized in the United
States, and that the naturalizitions al
ready accomplished shall be considered
null and void. The negotiation closed on
November Goth; everything was ready
on the 18th, but the word disaster"
occurred in the treaty, and as it is the
law OF China that that word cannot be
presented to the attention OF the En-
peror within five days of certain i'm
portant events, among which is the
birthday of member of the
Royal family, which necessi-
tated q delay OF abeut two weeks
before the conclusions OF the treaty, COM
missioners were so much disheartened
that they were on the point OF giving
up the negotiations, and would have left
Peking but for the fact that the COM
munications were interrupted by the
severity of The weather, and pending
their renewal the Chinese officers made
the concessions desired. Mr.. Swift de-
nies the report that the Chinese met
the Commissioners hail way in their
proposition, and says that the point
sought were only accomplished by a
persistent effort. He also denies the
report that Minister Angall contem-
plates resigning.
Sixty-four Persons Perish.
On December 18th Janpanese coast

United States, the President S autnor.
lied 10 appoint him, by and win the
consent OF the Senate, to the retired iist,
with the rank and full pay OF z denerai
OF the army. The second section aI
thorizes the President, when he snail
consider the emergency has arisen re-
curing the services of General Grant on
active duty, to assign him to any COM
mand commensurate with the rank OF
General. Referred to the Committe on
Military Affair.
Mr.. Hoar submitted The following
resolution: That the Committee on
Printing consider the propriety oil, 1ur-
nishing the State library, OF each State
copies Of all bills resolutions and other
documents and papers printed Tor the
use OF each House. The resolution was
agreed TO without any objection. ,.
The calendar being taken up the Dill
for the punishment OF tramps In the
District OF Columbia occupied the re-
mainder of the morning hour.
Mr.. Vance speaking OF the necessity
for the same law in the character oi that
proposed, remarked that sharpeis,
thieves, ysgsbonds, gamblers and all
kinds OF criminals, were in the habit oil
consorting in Washington for the pur-
pose OF plying their vocation. Motion
BY Mr.. Carpenter to postpone, indeh-
nitely was negatived, yeas, IL; nays, 80;
The bill went over without action.
The morning hour having expired
DISCUSSION was resumed on the bill for
- ,of 1t Hnl
Mr.. Mcdonald spoke in favor oil the
bill, reviewing in detail proofs to SUD-
stantiate the claim, and Mr.. Williams
followed on the same side.
Mr.. Bayard spoke in refutation OF the
arguments in behalf OF the bill, his con-
clusions being, neither in terms nor by
implication did the Holiday contract
warrant the allegation OF liability by the
government for losses incurred by
mail contract or FROM Indian depreda-
tors in Indian territory all OF which
were foreseen at the time the contract
was made. He secuted the idea oil
the liability by reason OF losses
being an act or consequence OF war, as
was also the idea that the government
NAV be held to have been an insurer
against losses OF mail contractors. He
claimed that by the evidence in the case
the President had given exceptional
orders for the protection OF Holladays
mail route prior to the depredations
that the items Of loss were estimated
exparte.
Mr.. withers, from the Appropriation
Committee, reported the Army Appro-
pria,ion bill with amendments. Placed
on the calendar.
The debate on the Holiday bill was
then resumed, but without concluding
the Senate went into executive session,
and when the doors were reopened adj
journed.
