May 5th Count Won Munster and Count
Herbert Bismarck told Earl Granville
that Germany would be unable to
maintain . friendly attitude in relation
to Egyptian affairs II England continued
nnfricndly on colonial questions. Earl
Granville denied that England was UNI
friendly, and that gave positive as
sursnccs Of future friendly actioh with
which Prince Bismarck was satisfied.
The tension which has since arisen has
resulted from difference Of opinion as
to whether the assurances made by Earl
Granville have been kept or broken.
The reading Of Earl Granville's letter
left bad impression, as it was consid-
cred an inadequate exposition Of his
denial Of the receipt of Prince Bis
msrck's dispatch, and conveyed hint
that Count Herbert Bismarck, at that
time Secretary Of the German Embassy,
had suppressed the communication.
Right Hon. Robert Bourkc. who was
Under Foreign Secretary in the Disraeli
Ministry, will soon introduce motion
for the production Of the dispatches in
order to verify the statement that Prince
Bismarck had been asked to advise
England bow to deal with Egypt.

fBy Telegraph to the Dispatch.l
WASHINGTON, d. c., March -
The Offices Of the various Cabinet OIL
Gals were besieged all day with crowds
Of people, who called either to ccnsratu-
late the incumbcnts on their accession
to Office or to further the aspirations Of
ofIlce-seekers. Generals Sheridan and
Hancock and Chairman Barnum, OF the
Democratic National Committee, were
among the callers.
The number of applications for post
masterships received to-day at the Post
Office Department has never been
equalled in any previous day. and the
First Assistant Postmastcr-Gcneral
found it necessary to detail a special
force of employees to file applications.
Where aspirants presented their claims
in person they were informed they must
file their applications and await their
consideration in regular order. The
commissions Of 6S presidential psstmas-
tiers expire during the present month,
and over $50 such commissions VIII
expire before the beginning OF the next
session of Congress.
The Secretary Of the Treasury re-
ceived large number OF visitors to-
day, among whom were General Han
cock and Hubert o. Thompson of New
York. He has appointed Valentine p.
Snyder, of New York, his private Sec
rotary, to succeed Frank Sperry. who
has resigned to engage in the practice
of law in New York city.
One of the first official acts OF Secre-
tary Manning was to authorize Assist
ant Secretary Coon to sign, instead OF
the Secretary, all warrants for the pay
ment of money into the public Treasury
and all warrants for the disbursement
of money from the public Treasury. 1t
is understood that this is only tempo
rary designation, and that n successor te
Mr.. Coon will be nominated in few
days.
The President again held open house
to-day, and received large number OF
visitors, including congressional dele
cations from several States. In order
to devote attention TO the official mat
tiers requiring action during the present
special session Of the Senate, it is
probable that the President will have
to deny himself to visitors for few
DAYS. The doors were thrown open to
the public during the afternoon, and
several hundred persons called to pay
their respects. The President received
them in the East room.
The Presidents private secretary
contemplates change in the general
system of doing business at the White
House, which will include the simpliii-
cation of the manner. of keeping the
official records and an incidental re-
organization of the clerical force. Ii is
intended TO do away with the present
system of keeping full and elaborate
record of all business brought to the at
tention Of the President, and to coniine
the record to such matters only as re-
quire his individual action. All other
documents will be referred to the de-
partment to which they relate and a
simple record kept of their reference.
No changes have yet been made in the
force employed at the White House.
