ESPECIAL TO TrfE SENTINEL


WASHINGTON, Oct. ga Senator who
left the Presidents residence at noon
states that a messenger arrived this morn
ing, bringing q letter from Ex-Governor
Morgan, in which he positively and finally
declined the Se~cretaryship of the Treas
ury, and informed the President that it
would be useless to expect any considera-
ton. This letter, it appears, was written
in response to kilograms sent from here
yesterday, urging Morgan to accept. Up
to q late hour last night the President
chung to the hope that Morgan might be
persuaded to consider, but he has now
abandoned the idea. The President is en-
barrassed in consequence of Morgan's re-
fusal, and for the present, at least, is un-
decided what to do. He is apparently
considering the policy of bridging over
Cabinet matters until December by per-
hitting Assistant Secretary French to re-
main at the head of the Treasury, and re-
questing Attorney General MacVeagh to
remain in Office until then. MacVeagh is
| out of the city, but as he has told the Pres
ident he would continue in the Cabinet
uutli Ills SuCC5sbOT ellOulu DC dppOlut 6u, IL
is presumed that he would not refuse to
serve until December. Senators are be-
| coming impatient at the Presidents delay
in forming his Cabinet.
In executive session to-day motion was
made to adjourn sine die, and during the
discussion it was announced that the Pres
ident would not delay Senators longer than
Friday evening.

ment.
New YoRK, Oct. 28.-The Times says :
A troublesome Tines correspondent has
discovered that one Of Tyner's personal
friends, with whom the Assistant Post
MASTER General makes his headquarters
at Laramie, with a salary Of 50, 100 per an
mum. and an allowance Of 81. 200 for clerk
hire. At least, this was a handsome al
lowance, made while Tyner ruled, although
the Laramie Office paid less than $500 a
year in box rents and commissions But
the Assistant Postmaster Generals liber-
atty went further. He laid out post routes
over his hunting grounds, established the
.Postofice known as "Tyner," and allowed
compensation for routes to the amount OF
thousands of dollars, the annual returns
being S24. II any close-fsted taxpayer
grumbles at this way Of doing business,
he should be silenced by the information
that the men who made all the money
that came out Of the business were Ty-
ner's hunting companions.

Blaine's Letter.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The Times says Of
Blaine's letter: 1t seems to us that the
ground upon which Blaine now puts the
American position is im~pregnable, and that
the action Of the European powers, seeking
to substitute their political guarantee for
ours, may fairly he considered unfriendly.
The case would be somewhat analogous to
our furnishing . guarantee OF neutrality
to Egypt in case 1t had been asked, and we
had had physical force to establish il for
the Suez Canal. The instincts and the
good sense Of our country have always re-
strained 1t from i~ntruding in any way into
the agreements Of European powers.
