The Senate confirmed Morgan az sec
rotary of the treasury. Many still be-
lieve he viii only remain in the cabinet
until winter, and then Conkling will sue
coed him, and that this is the pro.
grsMms. Doubtless Morgan declined at
first, and was induced to accept, perhaps,
on these grounds. :
New York, 25.-Trtb1srse's Wishing.
ton: All Of the prominent men interested
in ALASKA have agreed upon bill EN-.
bodying form If government for the
territory, which will be introduced and
pnshed through Congress at the next
session. It will provide for a very
simple organization, with court of re-
cord and an executive.
A Tribune Washington special has the
following points: General Grant has re-
pestedly said to his friends recently that
ne will naver again be candidate fol-
the presidency. ~
/. Whisky distlllars of the United States
have determined TO make an effort next
winter to get Congress to reduce the tax
on whisky from 90c to Soc per gallon.
They will have powerful lobby here.
Senator EdmundG' move, this morn
ing, in forestalling the democratic caucus
caused seme merrimsnt. The caucus in
structed Penaleton to support resolu-
ton to appoint Chief Clerk Shober for
acting secretary, but Edmunds got the
floor first and offered q resolution worded
precisely like that Pendletoa was await
ing chance to submit. Democrats Of
course voted for Shober. He is satisfAc-
tory to both sides and popular. he was
formerly q congressman from North
Carolina. If republicans, next winter,
can see their way clear to getting rid of
Gorham and Riddleberger they will
probably undertake 10 elect secretary,
but there does not now seem to be much
prospect Of getting rid of this difficulty.
At present Malone firmly insists upon
sticking to these nominations.
Ex-senator Plat arrived to-day, and
called upon the President with General
GRAFT. He says he is not here on poll
teal business.
1t is thought that Gorhem will relieve
the republican senators of embarrass-
ment by Withdrawing as q candidate fol
secretary as seon as Sargent's name il
sent in aS secretary of the interior
General Grant positively disolaims

advice or solicitation, nor is it true, he
says, that he has urgsd the retention o!
Tyner.
The SO called suppressed report upon
| the custodian's Office Ia the treasury
department, called for by Sherman, will
be read tomorrow in the Senate. 1t viii
be O disappointing document, being
mainly an exposition Of illegality in The
Office Of the custodian, upon which
French and Powers made replies and
explain Ations in regard to their connection
with the transactions investigated. The
testimony taken will undoubtedly be
called for. This is very VoluniDous. II
is said to be kind of grabbag, where
something can be found with reference
to every scandal in the treasury for the
past ten years.

Gays the next fiscal year pension pay
ments are likely to reach $40, 0ee,0O0
The deficiency this year will be S20,000,-
600, and every body is astounded at the
growth Of the claims.
Frye, Hale, Harrison and Hawley and
several others are said to be positive in
declaring that they will not vote for Cor.
ham and Riddleburger. The result of the
Virginia election next month may work
some changes in Mahone's sentiments,
If he carries Virginia. Riddleburger will
be his candidate for q. S. senator, and
be might then consent to accept cGndi-
date for secretary instead sf Gorhsm. II
Malone is beaten iu Virginia, it will be
hardly possible for him to make another
canvass with any show of success, and
then be might consent to abandon Cor
ham and RIddleburger. At any rate
some of the republican leaders in the
Senate look Ia the result Of the Virgins
election, whichever way it may go, to
bring about Mabone's consent to new
candidates for Sen ate officers, and in this
hope they were willing to make demo
orat acting secretary.
