FOSTER FOB THE CABINET.

The Transfer OF Noble to the Supreme
Court Would Make Room.
WASHINGTON, September 17.-Will the
retirement Of Tanner hasten the elevation
Of Secretary Noble to the Sapreme Bench ?
1t looks very much like it. Col. Mobiles
friends, encouraged, it is said, by the
Ooloneps new utterances, are expecting
his promotion, and they point ont tina,
Tanners removal paves the way for it.
The President, they assert, could not have
taken Col. Noble from the Interior De-
psrtment while the contest with Tanner
remsined unsettled, for in that event
Tanner would have claimed o triumph
and become more insufferable than ever.
Regardless Of the effect on the Fall cleo
tions, the Corporal has been put out of the
way. The Supreme Court meets in Octo-
Der and the new Associate Justice ought
to take his seat then. Speculation on this
subject goes further and connects Gov.
Fosters name with the Interior Depart.
ment. The President is more anxious
about Ohio than New York. A Democratic
triumph in New York would not astonish
nor greatly discourage him, but if Ohio
should elect Campbell on q straight ont
Tariff Reform platform, the President
would be hit hard. His one aim is now to
prevent that, and by taking Foster into
his Cabinet he would appeal strongly to
HE party friends in the Buckeye State.

PERJURED WOODRUFF
Ives Clerk RnIanglss Himself in Nazs Of

NEW YORK, September IF. W.
Woodruff, Of Ives and Stayner fame, was
in the General Sessions building early this
morning. Ho was at once ushered into
the private Office Of the Assistant District
Attorney and the door closed behind him.
Woodruff had scarcely disappeared when
Henry S. Ives flanked On either side by
three Deputy Sheriffs, made his appear
ance. Ives looked much better this morn
ing than he has for some days.
When Court met, Woodruff again took
the stand, and under crcss-examinstion
told about his life, where he had met Ives
and their friendly relations, preceding tie
time he went in Ives employ. One day,
after he had been with Ives about six
months, the latter came to him and told
him that he wonld hereafter be q partner
in the eOmpsny. In the year 1886 the
name Of the firm was Henry S. Ives & Co.
The company was Woodruff. Ali he had
to do was Ito obey Mr.. Ives"
when was the partnership between
Ives, Stsyner and Dremus formed?"
About February, 1888" The witness
was in the employment of the new firm as
the Confidential Clerk OF Ives. He was
told ths. Stsyner objected to him as apart
ner, but later on Sssvusr denied this. He
continued with the & II until the date of
the assignment. Tie witness had heard
that he had beer n cted Secretary of the
c., II. q d. +. r, but how, where or
when he heard this be was unable 10 tell.
He had not sought the Office.
Woodruff did not know who had the
books and seal. He could not saw whether
Iver or he had them, nor could he tall
which way they went to Stayner's house,
or how long it took them to get there. In
fact, at this stage Of the cross-exsminatiop,
the witness lapsed into complete know
nothing so to speak. AS to their return
/ from Brooklyn his mind he averred was a
complete blank.
WOODRUFF A PERJURER.
The statements Of the witness in the
suit Of Albert Miller were also read at
length, and in these he also admitted that
he had committed corrupt and wilfull per-
perjury. Woodruff was again confronted
with perjury in his statement in the refer
erenes suit in Cincinnati. This ended the
cross-exsmination.

were several new developments, one Of
them being the following letter, received

Agency, No. SAL !snd S43 Broadway, New
York:
"Ohief Of Police, Wheeling, w. Va:
"DEAR SIR:-I have just read Of the ar
rest by you of the bogus Forepsugh agent.
This man Harry Vanderbilt, alias Harry
Lacy, has q record tn San Francisco,
where understand he was convicted on
the same charge you now hold him on.
He came here about three weeks ago. and
made his headquarters at the New York
Circus, and several of the performers
recognized him and warned the
manager against him, but in spite Of this
he succeeded in getting about $35 advanced
on some bogus contract for bill posting.
He did the same thing with feed man
and butcher. He also had five Thousand
business cards printed, but the printer
would not let him have them without. the
cash, and they are now in the printers
hands. He is an old offender at this game,
and richly deserves punishment. He is
glib talker, and the description given Of
him by the morning paper is correct.

following letter, bearing upon the same
subject, in the same way:
