THE COMING MAN.

Judge Folger to be Made Secretary of the
treasury.
WASHINGTON, October 26.-It is posi-
lively stated tonight that Chief Justice
Folger, OF New York, has been rendered
and has accepted the appointment of
Secretary OF the Treasury, and that bis
nsmswill be sent to the Senate to-mor-
row. In eUuuecrIon with this appoint.
ment it is asserted that Folger agreed to
accept on condition or with the under
standing that he shall be appointed to
the United States Supreme Bench to
succeed Hunt, who it is confidently
believed will be retired by Con-
gress on account of physical
disability. Folger really did not want
the Secretaryship, but is ambitious TO
90 upon the Supreme Bench. 1t is still
asserted by those who assume to know,
that Conkling will succeed Folger in the
Treasury before Arthurs administra'
ton grows very old. 1t is said Conkling
would have been appointed, but that
since he left the Senate he has taken
cepted some thousands of dollars in the
shape OF returns from his clients, there
fore he cannot abandon the cases; it will
b. some months before he can attend to
them. President Arthur is very anx-
ious, so the story goes, to have Conk-
ling at the head of the Treasury, and
his great embarrassment since Morgan
declined has been to find a man who
would make way for Conkling when he
gets ready to go into the Cabinet.
Folger's retirement from the Chief
Justiceship of the New York Court OF
Appeals will necessitate the election OF
a successor and the Democrats may win
the election and thus get a majority OF
that court. That is one reason why
there was some hesitation in APP
pointing Folger to the Treasury,
but after looking over the field
it appears that the President concluded
that he was the man wanted. Folger's
preferences and tastes are so decidedly
legal and judicial that no doubt he will
be willing to leave the Treasury for
place on the Supreme Bench at any time.
The belief that Conkling is ultimately
destined Tor the Secretaryship OF the
Treasury seems to be almost universal
here, and If he were at liberty to accept
it is believed the President would have
appointed him. Ex.Secretary (now
Senator) Window informed Western
Associated Press agent tonight positive
" that Folger had been offered and had
formally accepted the Treasury, aud
that the President will nominate him TO.

THE MIGHTY MISSISSIPPI.
The Great Flood at Alexandria.

KEoKUK, a., October 26 The river
last night rose an inch further. A rise
of several inches is being anticipated by
rivermen, after when it is expected the
water will recede. The situation OF
affairs at Alexandris, five miles below
here, is lamentable, it being one OF the
worst floods the town has ever eXpe'
risnced. All that can get away have
left, taking with them their household
goods. Some citizens are living in the
second stories OF buildings and have
skiffs moored in front OF their dwellings
in case OF an emergency. The loss TO
property is already great. The tracks
Of the NJ. I. Il n. c., r. |. K P. X. and
St. Louis and the G. B. & O.. railways
leading into this city are under water.
The river this morning at 10 o'clock was
tweye inches above the rise OF last
spring and lacks two feet and four
inches OF the great rise OF 1851, which
occasioned 80 much distress.

TYNER's TREATMENT.
Denying the Truth Of the
Charges Against Him.

z WASHINGTON, October 26.-General
Tyner has prepared a statement which
will be given to the press tonight. 1t
merely denies the truth OF the charges
that he has been In sympathy with the
Star Route contractors or, that he has
been hostile to their prosecution. He
says he was extremely cautious while
in charge OF the contract office, and
never made any expenditure for Star
Route service without first consulting
the then Postmaster General,
,Governor Jewell, and that later
when IN charge Of the department, he
refused to make large increase OF the
service. He required OF General Brady
monthly statements regarding the Star
Route service and never sanctioned any
large expenditures. During the last
month that he was Postmaster General
no report came to him, and after he had
ceased to be Postmaster General he was
informed that during that month Brady
had largely expedited the services. de
went at once to General Key, who had
lust assumed charge OF the department,
O oAubsr' "' aiI ""a ofdsfsN hif
increased service. Tyner says furthur
that the Star Route prosecutions were
frequently a matter of consultation be-
tween himself and President Garfield
that he took his report OF the investisa-
ton made by himself into the service
and read it to General Garfield, who re-
ouested that he might show it to Cen
eral James, which he did. This was
soon after General Garfield became
President.
Resignation OF GeneralITyner.
WASHINGTON, October 26 First As
sistsnt Postmaster General Tyner has
resigned. So it is announced at the
Postoffice Department TO day. This in-
dicates that he has given up his fight.

Morxan's RefusSl-The Presidents Plans
and Purposes.
WASHINGTON, October 26S-A Senator
who left the Presidents residence at
noon states that a messenger arrived
this morning bringing letter from TX
Governor Morgan in which he positively
and finally declined to accept the ap-
pointment as Secretary OF the treasury
and informing the President that 1t
would be useless to expect any recon-
sideration of this determination. Ihis
letter it appears was written in response
10 a telegram sent from here yesterday
urging Morgan to accept. Up to late
hour last night the President clung
to the hope that Morgan
might be persuaded to re-
consider his decIination, but OF course
has now abandoned all such idea. Nor
oan sent his final declination by o mes
senger that it might reach here without
fail as early as possible. The President
is embarrassed in consequence ot Nor
cams refusal to accept, and for the pres
emf. az least it is said, is undecided what
10 do. He apparently is considering the
policy of bridging over Cabinet matters
till December by permitting Assistant
French to
Remain at the Head Of the Treasury,
and requesting Attorney General Mac
Veagh to remain in Office until then
MacVeagh is out of the city, but Is he
has told the President that he would
continue in the Cabinet until his
successor should be appointed, it is
presumed that he would not refuse to
serve until December. While the Pres
ident has decided upon Howe for At
torney General, he would prefer, it is
said, not to make this nomination un-
til the Treasury is settled, and il the
Treasury goes over be would rather let
the Cabinet nominations go over till
December. For this reason the nomi-
nation for Attorney General is being
withheld. The President is taking time
to consult MacVeagh in regard to his
continuing in Office till December. There
is au IMPRESSION that MscVeaga would
uecline to hold over till Congress- meets,
bat at the request of the President and

to relieve him OF embarrassment he
would in all probability consent.
secretary WINDOWS withdrsws

WASHINGTON, October 26 Secretary
Window had long interview with Pres.
dent Arthur this afternoon. The Sec
retary says with the close OF business
to-day his administration as Secretary Of
the Treasury virtually terminated. He
will be at the department part OF the
time during the next few days. He says
the declination OF Morgan is final and
that new man will be sent to the SEN
ate soon. Morgan, in letter to Presi-
denA Arthur, expressed severe regret at
causing the President any embarrass-
ment. The letter was in response
to kilograms from Washington urging
Morgan to accept and was sent by a
special messenger to assure prompt de-
livery. A prominent public officer, who
also called upon the President to-day,
says Morgan gave President Arthur TO.
understand before his name WAS sent to
the Senate that he would accept after
he was nominated, but before he re-
ceived notice of his confirmation Nor
gan consulted his physician with regard
to the expedieney of undertaking the
-unrt nd rAs % arstA s,-s--s1
ury Department. His physician ADVISED
Him Not to Accept,
as did his wife, on the ground that his
advanced age and failing strength would
make the burden heavier one than he
could safely bear. In Difference to their
Judgment and wishes Morgan decided
not to take the place, and wrote
to the President to that effect.
The public officer who gives this
history of the affair says he
thinks the President is in correspond
ence with Judge Folger, of New York,
and that an arrangement will probably
be made which will insure the latter's
acceptance of the Treasury portfolio.
This arrangement it is intimated, will
involve the ultimate transfer OF FOlger
to the Supreme Court Bench. Presi-
dent Arthur to-day remarked to prom
inent Senator that he felt confident that
the Senate would be unable to adjourn
tomorrow or Friday at the latest. This
remark was communicated to the Senate
during the executive session, and was
understood to signify that nomination
for the Secretaryship of the Treasury
would be sent in tomorrow. Most OF
the Senators have become impatient at
the prolongation OF the session, and
while the doors were closed to-day res
olution was offered for immediate ad-
journment sine die, but in consequence
of the above mentioned statement the
mover was induced to withdraw it.
