THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER II
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

The President, said q membe-
OF the administration, who has
been Mr.. Harrison's guest at
Cape May Point within a week.
has not, except in general way,
yet given any consideration to the
selection Of successor to Secre-
tary Proctor, nor is it probable
that he will for several weeks to
come. There are other things &C.
cupying his attention just at pres
ent, and there is no good reason
Tor his being in hurry to pick
out new Secretary Of war. Ny
own impression is that two new
members of the Cabinet will be APP
pointed at the same time, and
will not be made unil late in Octo-
Der, possibly not till November.
The gentleman declined to name
the other member of the Cabinet
who he believes will resign. but
there are reasons for believing
that it is Attorney General Miller,
who it is thought to be booked for
one of the new Circuit Court
judgships, although he refuses to
discuss the suject
Secretary Blaine will return to
his duties at the State Department
not later tn, Al the first of October.
Word was received at his Wash
inSton residence this week, to get
it ready for the. family at once.
This will be very unpleasant news
for the ghouls who have labored
30 inc Istriously through the Sum-
mer Just past to kill him, but to
the thousands Of patriotic Ameri-
cans who admire his manly way OF
conducting our foreign affairs it
will be most welcome news.
Representative Mills seems to
be getting alarmed at his Speaker
ship prospects and his friends in
tn cir efforts to secure Eastern
support for him have been giving
1t out that his ideas about the
free coinage of silver have lately
undergone a change and that he |
may in the near future write let
ter defining his position on the |
subject. And they hint that in
that letter he will take a position |
very near to that occupied by Mr..
Cleveland on the same question.
The question OF the seizure OF |
the GILLIAN steamer Itata. which |
many people feared might become
a serious as well as an expensive
one, has been happily settled. at a
held here, with Secre-
tary Foster and Attorney General
Miller representing this Govern
ment, and ex Mayor Grace. Of
New York, and Messrs. Moutt,
Foster and Trumbull the new
Gillian government. Under the
agreement reached the Itata is to
30 turned over TO the CHILEAN
and the case against
Ter for violating our neutrality
avs uoile pressed in the courts,
md the Gillian Government is to
Jay the United States a sum equal
o the expenses Of the cruiser
charleston in making the chase
fer the Itata. This is very
ending OF the matter,
much more so than il the CHILEAN
government had made a demand
nr heavy damages on account Of
he seizure.
The State department has been
notified that Denmark,
'hich followed Germany in exclud-
lg American pork, has followed
ne same example in removing re- .
trictions upon its importation, y
nd is now prepared to admit all =
hat may be shipped there accom-
anied by the United States GER
dcate OF inspection. Secretary
.usk is not doing much talking
bout his triumphs, but his friends
re shouting as they have right
, do, for to him more than any
Their man is due the credit for
ne meat inspection law, without
'hich the restrictions upon the II
nportation Of American pork
