Railroad War.

New York. 24.-The railroad war
stands squarely in the way of the bull
market. The New York Central is said
to be making contracts to run a year at
the present rates. Insiders short of New
York Central have not covered, and
Vanderbilt. brokers are bearish upon
Lake Shore and New York Central.
Nevertheless, one ofthe largest houses in
the street was buyer of stocks on Satur-
day afternoon upon information that the
war would soon end. Tillinghast, of the
New York Central, is reported as saying
the war would be ended by Garrett.
Vanderbilt was determined to abolish
the differential vote. If the Balti-
more and Ohio advanced the rate
Vanderbilt would follow quit, but
would bring freight to New York for
whatever price Garrett charged for car
rying it to Baltimore. In this connec.
ton some significance may be attached
to the story that the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio people have been in
conference in this city the past week, and
agreed, it is said, to advance local rates.
The war may terminate by an agree
ment to abolish the diferential rate on
grain for export, while leaving the rate
in force On grain not shipped for export.

Government for Alaska.

Washington, PAT is probable sue
cessful attempt will be made this winter
to secure the passage of a law giving the
great Territory Of Alaska q government.
It seems scarcely credible that this great
country, IS large as half dozen Of our
smaller states, containing between 80, 00e
and 5000 inhabitants is without some
thing in the nature of government, but
it is true. The settler in Alaska to-day
has no guarantee of safety to life or
property, no assurance that his effects on
his death will not be seized upon by the
first pssser-by, or that his body might
not be left to rot where it lies. There is
no way in which he can secure a trans
fer title to land, and 10 method in which
other. The country contains gold, silver,
ceal and other minerals. The salmon
canning industry is already on its feet,
and there is some fur trading with the
natives Of the interior. 1t is understood
that Senator Miller (CAla.). president of
the Alaska Commercial Company, has
prepared bill providing for simple
form of government, which meets the Ap-
probation of prominent men interested
in the territory. Even ex-Collector Of
Customs Ball, who has favored COM
pick government, and is now on his way
to Washington as delegate to Congress,
said Alaska should be given q territorial
form of government. He is understood
since reaching San Francisco to have
approved the Miller bill. 1t simply pro-
vides for court having general juris-
diction, for an executive officer and for 5
delegate in Congress.

The Whitehall Reviel0 says the Marquis
of Lorne comes home from Canada BY

have reason to believe that the marquis
has given complete satisfaction to the
Queen and to the imperial government
in the performance Of his duties as gov

unexpected visit to England is not
altogether connected with his official
position. Hon. Mr.. Macpherson, speaker
of the Canadian Parliament, in an inter

has highly commanded himself to Cana

! u
Washin etop, 2s.-Ths sisuaiion re-
garding the proposed cabinet changes ap-
pears 70 be 3 little unsettled. and it Is
thought, te-nieht doubtful Il any cabinet
nominations will be aent 70 the 6enate
tomorrow. Ex-senator Howe has, it ia
believed, accepted the position of attor-
ney.general and will be nominated. Ex-
Governor Morgan has written to Preei-
sident Arthur stating why he thinks he
should not accept, bat not positively de-
clining. IfGovernor Morgan declines
positively, and this fact, il Is thought,
must be known toltbe President by this
time. his declinatioR may delay the
nomination for the treasury portfolio for
several days. ~.- ~-
Friends of Governor Morgan say he Is
likely to accept the the treasury portfolio,
but add qualifying clause. This is in
terpreted by gessips as indicating pur-
dose on the part OF Morgan to retire after
few months Of service and make room
It 10 stated that the President Is unds-
cided whether to appoint Boutwell, attor-
nsy general, bat he is expected to be the
nominee.
The following statement is made by
one in position to be well informed: The
treasury department has bean teAdered to
but two persons, Cenkling and Ex-Gov-
erRor Morgan. Conkling did not de-
cline in positive terms, but represented
his objections, personal and political,
to acceptance. His health is presented
as serious objection. The President
then rendered the portfolio to Governor
Morgan, who, after long consideration,
definitely declined On the ground Of ad-
vsnced sge, and the pressure of large
business. The President returned to his
original desire, and again rendered the
secretsryship of the treasury to Roscoe
Conkling. The latter has conditiOnslly
consented, his health being the only bar
rier. Should Mr.. Conkling's physicians
| determine that his acceptance will not be
prudent at present, Mr.. GilflleB, treas
urer of the United States, will probably
take the position temporarily. Judge
Folger will probably be nominated to the
Supreme Court early in the ensuing ses-
sion, as soon as action can be taken on
the case of Judge Hunt. The other cab
met nominations are undecided. The
names of Ex-senator Sargent, Senator
Spencer, Chauncsy j. Filley aud General
Lengstreet are among the coming pos
sibilities. The impression is general that
only Mr.. Howe's name will 60 into the
Senate tomorrow. A stalwsrt senator
said that Arthur could easily make q
cabinet, should he think it wise to go to
the Senate for it, as did GARFIELD, who
took three from that body, very seriously
crippling his party by doing so.
Washington, 24.-President Arthur
sent in the nomination of Edwin D. Nor
gan, of New York, to be secretary of the
treasury. This was the only cabinet
nomination sent in to-day.
