GOSSIP ABOUT THE SUCCESSION.

Acting Secretary Coon Will continue to act as
Secretary OF the Treasury for ten days, and II
the President has not selected new Secretary
by that time he can be detailed to act for ten days
longer This afternoon the impression seemed to
have gained ground that the vacancy Will be filled
by promotion. those who seemed best informed
thought that the President would be compelled
to follow that course. for fear OF exciting and
renewing political diSSensionS in New York by
selecting an outsider, which might have serious
effect upon the approaching election.
RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF SECRETARY FoLGER.
Acting Secretary Coon to-day teiegraphed to the
Assistant Treasurer at New York that the
suh-treasuries would be closed few
hours on the day of Secretary Folger'S

had at one time been assistant treasurer at New
York, directing him to drape the sub-treasury
in mourning. Arrangements are being made for q
