WASHINGTON, June 27th, 1SS5.-Re-
publicans in office have long looked
forward to the coming LIST of July as a
day of doom. 1t will be the beginning
of the new fiscal year, and they coniec-
ture that the democrats will want to
begin it with new men. How sweeping
the changes may be no one knows, but
all believe that some changes will be
made, and that large number will be
dismissed, and their places left vacant,
Attorney General Garland has taken
the initiative and made a clean sweep
in the department of justice. Hereaf-
ter there will be none but democrats on
guard in at least one cabinet officers
department.
In the ninety days since Commits
sione- Mills took charge of the internal
revenue bureau, out OF the eighty four
internal revenue collectors in the coun-
try he has appointed sixty new ones.
The remaining officers to be changed
are one each Sin Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri,
Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexi-
co, Ohio and Wisconsin five each in
Illinois and New \ ork, a nd three in
Pennsylvania. These will be taken up
as rapidly as possible, and soon there
will not be republican internal reve-
nue. collector in the country.
Representative Springer was to see
Secretary Manning to-day. He says
he is Just from the people. He finds
there are three classes expressing differ
ent opinions about the administration
those who are in say it is too fast;
those who are out and want to get in
say it is too slow and the great masse
say it is Just. right. Mr., Springer agrees
with the masses,
have talked with a number of re-
publican senators during the last two
weeks, and do not think from all L
can learn that there will be any organ
lied opposition to the appointments of
President Cleveland. The republican
senators are old politicians and accus-
toned to acquiesce in the fortunes of
politics. The majority OF them respect
| the president and concede that his ap-
| pointmentf are in the main excellent.
Few senators will have more influence
| in the next congress than General Lo-
gan, and it is known that he is on ami
cable terms with the president and his
cabinet. The tame may be said OF a
majority of republican senators, per-
haps the only exceptions are the two
senator's from Virginia, Malone and
Riddleberger.
Rumors continue to be sent out from
| this city that dissensions exist in the
cabinet, and that Bayard must go. AL
such rumors have their foundation on
| Iy in the fertile brains of the writers,
4 who, for want of something else on
which to build a sensation, fall back on
the cabinet which is convenient piece
of furniture to knock about and break
to pieces. The fact is there is a happy
| family in and around the white house,
and the regular cabinet meetings are
miniature love ieasts there are no dis
lsensions; all are satisfied and growing
more so in view of the fact that the
American people, without regard to
past party affiliations, are giving TO the
administration their hearty support,
and from all sections is coming up the
endorsement, well done, good and faith
| full servants.
| The government authorities have be-
come not little alarmed again over the
rapid spread OF cholera in Spain, and
steps are being taken to prevent it from
Preaching these shores. 1t is thought
| that there is no likelihood of it being
brought here directly but the fear is
that it may be carried to Cuba, because
| of the constant intercourse between the
island and Spain, and from thence
spread to the United States. The Sec
| rotary Iof the treasury has therefore
asked Mr., BaYard OF the state depa TT
ment to appoint medical inspectors at
all the Cuban consulates to watch i'm
migrants from Spain and to make
prompt reports of their movements to
this government, so as to prevent the
introduction of thatdreaded scOurge in
to this country.
| The agricultural department is devOt-
ing a good deal of time to the study of
the habits of the seVenteen-year locusts
which arc intesting some sections to
such a great extent, and doing much
damage to fruit and other trees. No
way has been discovered for poisoning
or destroying them than killing them
outright. The opinion is generally
prevalent that they are likely to sting
persons who handle them, and that
their sting is deadly, but Prof. Riley,
who has carefully Investigated the mat
| ter, declares that this is not true.
| Within a week past the Irish socie-
ties throughout the United States, con-
cerned in the home-rule movement,
have awakened to great activity. They
have been greatly cheered by the re-
! cent troubles of the British govern
ment, and believe that the time has ar
rived when at least partial justice will
be done to long-oppressed Ireland. An
enthusiastic leader of the movement
who is here on business connected with
one of the national Irish organizations
said to your correspondent the other
day. 81 see in the not distant future a
happy, prosperous, free and indepen-
dent Ireland, and can assure you that
the agitation of the Irish ques ton
will not cease until that is accom-
plished."
