WASHINGTON, June 5.-A cabinet of ficer sad after yesterdays afternoon meeting that no appointments had yet been made to fill the vacancy in the cab met. Senator Gray of Delaware came | over from Wilmington today and went directly to the White house. It was thought the visit had connection with the vacant cabinet office. Gray was the | most earnest champion of ths admins | trstion in the senate. As member of the committee on foreign relations he | has become very familiar with the duties l of secretary of state.

 telegram from the president who, it is believed, would net hesitate to Cffer
 Gray place in his cabinet were it not | for the fact that his retirement from the
 senate would almost to certainty re- suit in the election of republican as his successor. A possibility is that Holmes Conrad of Virginia, present soli- citor general may succeed OlDey. In case he is selected 1t is believed that Uhl, the present assistant secretary of state, would be a candidate for the va | cant solicitor generslship. Uhl was a
 candidate for this place at the time Max we'll was appointed.

 termined to ask Attorney General Olney | to accept the state department portfolio There is report that the office of at
 torney general will be rendered Don M. Dickinson. Dickinson at the beginning of the present administration declined | an office.
