WASHINGTON, Nov. "a prominent
government officer, in conversation this
morning, intimated that there would be
removals on account of completely with
star-routers, but declined to mention names.
Rumor has it that the disbursinc officer.
Burnside, of the post-oilice department.
and Sixth Auditor Ella are likely to be
among the removals.
The transfer of bonds, per cents, run
nlng to l9OI, and currency 6's, will close at

READY TO oGLE VENUS.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Rear- Admiral
Crosby, commanding United States naval
forces on the south Atlantic station, reports
everything in readiness for viewing the an.
preaching transit of Venus.
LACKS CONFIRMATION,
WASHINGTON, Nov. H.-The rumor on the
street that several prominent officers of the
post-ottice department are to be dismissed
for completely in the star-route frauds, up
TO this hour u2) lacks confirmation.
NOT II HE KNOWS HIMSELF.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Secretary Folger
denies himself to all visitors this morning.
being engaged in the preparation OF an.
nual report. His private secretary pro.
nounces the story that he rendered his res
lgnaton as entirely uniounded. Folger,
however, has renewed his lease for one
year. Secretary Folger in an interview at
l0 O'Clock, denied in the most emphatic
language that he had rendered his resigna.
tion, and added that the matter had never
been referred to either by the president or
himself The lease OF Folger's residence in
this city expires on December 10th. The
friends OF the secretary attribute the report
of his resignation to that fact.
THE GulLLoTINING TO STOP.
1t is stated authoritaiiveiy that no fur
ther removals in connection with the star.
route cases are contemplated by the presi-
dent ut present. This would seem TO
indicate that there is no foundation in the
rumors so lar as they relate to high officers.
The rumor that several subordinate officers
of the post-oilice department will be invited
to resign seems to be well founded. The
appointment of Tullock to succeed Ringer
as postmaster of Washington Is only tenn
porary, but it is believed it will be made
permanent. No selection has vet been
made for district marshal to succeed
Henry.
SENATOR LOGAN
was at the executive mansion this after.
noon and had long interview with the
president, it is believed, in favor of the re.
tention in Office of Public Printer Rounds.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY CoRKHILL.
also had long interview with the attor-
ney-general and afterwards informed
friends that he was safe.
