AS far as known Colonel John P. Irish

The nominations for the Cabinet places
were sent in to-day, and were all that were
received by the Senate. The assistant sec
retaries of the departments are regarded as
essentially political, and it is expected that
none of the Republican incumbents will be
retained any longer than is necessary to Sc
lect their successors. This is not quite true,
however, of the State Department, where
Second Assistant Secretary Adee will prob
ably retain his place, and Third Assistant
Grinnell may hold on for several months.
There is some talk to the effect that Gen.
eral Spaulding, one of the assistant secre-
taries Of the treasury, may also remain for
awhile on account of his intimate knowledge
OF the customs laws.
Among those who are most prominently
mentioned for assistants in the various de-
Dartments are George L. Rives of New
York and Henry F. Merritt of Chicago for
the State Department, Charles S. Hamlin
of Massachusetts and Charles B. Morton of
Maine for the treasury, John c. Under
wood OF Kentucky for the War Department,
ex-Represeniative McAdoo of New jersey
for the Navy Department, +. P. Devices Of
Pennsylvania for assistant Attorney Gem
eral. and Mr.. Maxwell of New York and
ex-Representative Crosby of Massachusetts,
for the Post Office Department.
The japanese mission is the much coveted
Office, and among Californians it is gen.
orally regarded as being legitimate Cali

for this place are yet in the city, namely:
Frank McCoppin, William Gwin Jr. and

late inlelligently upon the prospects Of any
Californian for appointment TO Office.
