WASHINGTON, D. G., November 97.-1t is
stated anthoritatlvely t.eA 40 further re-
movals in connection with the Star route
cases are contemplated by the President ut
present. This would seem to indicate
that there is no foundation for the rumors
in circulation SO iat as they relate to high
officers. The rumor that several subordi.
nate officers Of the PostoAice Department
will be invited to resign seems to be well
founded. ''r ''T,
The appointment Of Tulloch to succeed
Ainger as Postmaster at Washington is
only temporary, but it is believed It will
6e made permanent. The successor to
Spencer, one Of the Government Directors
in the Union Pacific uroad, will be ap.
pointed this afternoon. ], The selection has
not yet been made for District Marshal TO
