 Capital Gossip
 WAsHNGrOS, October lS-The report that Attorney General MacVeagh has insisted upon being relieved at once from Cabinet duties has induced Secre- retary Blaine to address letter tn the President relative to the Cabinet re- tirement. He wrote that those desirous of retiring should be treated alike and be allowed to retire. Atthe same timehe ex- pressed strong desire to be relieved at once and thought his case was as much entitled to consideration as that of any Cabinet officer.
