y great deal Of comment was made in po-
liticaI circles today upon the announcement
published this morning that Secretary Noble,
who is now at ST Louis, is stated to resign
despite his positive assertion to the contrary,
and that II Secretary Proctor becomes SEN
ator Edmuuds successor, as now seems
probable. Minister Robert Y. Lincoln will be
asked to give up his post in London and tako
the war portfolio or should this not be doue
that General Noble may go as minister to
st Petersburg. The rumor was generally
looked upon as plausible, although those who
are Immediately associated with Secretary
Noble do not believe he intends to resign. No
official statement was made upon the subject.
The repeated reports that Secretary Noble
was likely to retire from his position are due

AdmlssIon az Chinose Merchants.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 30.--Acting Secretary
Spaulding has written a letter 20 the collector
OF customs at San Francisco in regard 10 the ad-
mission of certain Chinese merchants, IN which
he says, in order that there may be no misun-
derstanding on the subject, that it was repre-
sented that these persons were doniciled in the
United States as merchants, had gone 10
China for business or other purposes
and were returning to resume their
residence and business here; that they had left
the country with clear understanding from
the published circulars Of the department that
they would be permitted TO return on proving
their identity and occupation as merchants, and
that refusal TO allow them 10 land would cause
them large pecuniary losses. He says il the col
Iector has any doubt as TO the right OF such
persons to land he shall refuse permission.
