WASHINGTON, March S1.-Secretary
Window does not talk for publication,
but an intimate friend said this even
ing: 81 had talk with Mr.. Window
last evening, and do not suppose he
would object to my telling what he said
in relation to Minnesota politics. /
mentioned that there was speculation
being published as news concerning his
probable establishment of new
dynasty with his election to the senate
as the ultimate result. Looking very
seriously and earnestly at me. he
said: I have no other ambition
than to make a credltabIe record
as secretary of the treasury. l
accepted the office with no other
end in view. 1t has been secret de-
sire with me to continue the work which
L begun, and SO suddenly relinquished
eight years ago. Those who credit me
with Interior aims or desires, miSunder-
stand and unkindly misjudge me. The
secretary evidently meant every word,
and L believe the future will demon

l.,
served his last day in the Office, and
will leave for Forest City, n. D., on
Monday morning. He speaks in the
highest terms of Secretary Noble, and
regrets leaving him, but can do
better financially in new railroad
prospects. He will stop two days in st.
Paul en- route. DR.. d. f. Roy, of AL
pena, Dak., is a newly arrived candi-
date for the receivership of the Huron
land Office. He has considerable local
backing, but not sufficient as yet. The
wife of Delegate Matthews, who has
been in exceedingly delicate health for
some time, has not been benefited by
the climate of Washington. and Dele
gate Matthews expects either to return
soon to Dakota or else try the seashore
for while for her benefit. Col. John
III. King and Maj. Picker. haunt the in
terror department and daily urge action
on the Sioux reservation commission.
They can get nothing but promises.
Secretary Noble has so many callers that
he cannot attend to business as promptly
as he desires. The instruction to COM
missioners will be published Monday,
they say, at the Indian office, but they
have been promising something for
week past. Secretary Rusk, with his
wife and son. Blaine RuSk, and Miss
Mary, will probably remove from the
Ebbltt on Wednesday of next week.
Senator Spooner talks bitterly concern
ing the rejection of Halstead's nomina-
ton. He does not tell what was said in
executive session, but his intense inter-
est in the matter indicates that he must
have riled some of the opponents in
executive session. He regards it as an
outrage on the party, on Halstead, and
above all Oh John Sherman, whose
able lieutenant Halstead has been for
many years. Senator Sawyer and Sem
ator Davis are mum but were evidently
in favor of confirmation. Gen. Clark
son has taken a house on K street, near
Secretary WINDOWS new residence, and
Mrs. Clarkson will commence enter
tanning next week as soon as settled
and receiving day is fixed. She is
handsome and will be popular in society
here.
