A RUMORED CABINET APPOINTMENT.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l

WASHINGTON March 21.-A rumor ran through
the Capitol to-day that Senator Teller was 10 DO
made Secretary of the Interior. Whatever truth
there may be in the rumor, the fact that hfteeh
Senators have filed applications with Captain Bas-
set the venerable doOrkeeper of the Senate LOT the
vacant seat indicates that Senators believe the ap-
pointment is at least probable The comment npon
the proposition among Mr.. Iellers associates 10
generally favorable. No one questions Mr. IeIlers s
ability. and there is no stain upon his record. lie Is
an intimate friend of Senator Conkling, and was
Grant delegate to Chicago but he has never carried
his factional preferences to an offensive degree
Mr. Teller is a man of very positive convictions
and especially so with regard 20 some OF the mpor
tant matters over which, as Secretary OF the In
terrier he would have control. In respect TO tne
Indian question, he is the embodied antltDesis Oh
the Massachusetts, idea. He does not love the In
dian as a neighbor, and believes that in the matter
of treaties they have been granted more than their
deserts. He would doubtless begin vigorous In
dian policy. but there is no reason to think he
would do the Nations wards injustice His opinions
arc the result of personal observation and personal
contact with the Indians. Mr. Teller is the chief
promoter of the movement to recover from the
railroads such portions of their land giants
os have not been earned in accordance
with the terms of the original grants He is now
the chairman of the Senate Committee on Pensions,
and is necessarily somewhat familiar with the PEN
sion Laws and the principles which nnderlle me
present pension system, over which as Secretary OF
the Interior he would have control MT. leiler
has been laborng to the appointment of Sec
retarv of the Interior for ex-senator Chahec.
The criticism of the appointment is based on the
belief. which is pretty widespread, that no better
man for Secretary of the Interior than Mr.. Kirk
wood could be found, and that It is not good policy
to make any change in that Department at this
time.
