of his declaration that he intends TO remain in
the Cabinet uuti the end of President Harri-
sons torn, they declare that it is on the slate
that he shall accept an important foreign mis-

is elected Senator, Minister Lincoln will come
back from London 10 bis old post as Secretary
of War and Gen. Noble viii take his place " at
the Court OF St. james" Another story is that
Minister Smith wants To come home from st,
Petersburg and that the Secretary will be
given that place So fan Gen. Noble has not
expressed himself IN regard to these umors,
probably thinking that bis recent statement is
Of sufficient lsioness to satisfy the public Curl

that there is any truth in the story SO fan as IT
