THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET.

He Is Proceeding With Deliberatiou in
Selecting MIR. Gresham's Successor.
WAsHINGTON, June 5.-The President
Ia proceeding with elaboration in the
selection OF successor 10 the late Sec
rotary Gresham. 1t may be- that he is
in correspondence with some one touch
ing his appointment. to the cabinet and
that the President, following his usual
practice, refrains from allowing his in
tentions TO become known until he ia
assured that an offer he may make will
surely be accepted. 1t is assumed that
the new Secretary OF State will not be
announced until the cabinet Is again
complete.
So far as can be learned now, the
President has not formally advised
Acknowledgement Olney of his wish
that he should accept transfer to the
State Department, but it is believed
that in following this course the Presi-
dent is simply waiting to make sure
that he can ill to his Hatisf &C ton the
place that will be vacated by Mr.. Olney.
Among the rumors this morning Ia one
to the effect that after transferring Mr..
Olney to the State Department, the
President will place Secretary Hoke
Smith in the attorneys office and fill
the office of Secretary of the Interior by
the appointment OF ex.G Governor Francis,
Of Missouri.
1t Is known that the President has the
kindest feelings toward Mr.. Francis and
his appointment would be In line with
the policy the President has leaned to-
ward lately OF recognizing the younger
and progressive element in his party.
Secretary Smith, being lawyer by pro-
fession, Is also supposed to have de-
cided preference for the Attorney Gem
erals chair. 1t Is now expected that
the President will leave Washington for
Gray Gables early next week. and there
fore the announcement of the cabinet
changes is looked for very shortly.

THE SITUATION AT pocAHoNrAs.

eil Indications Point to an Early Bottle
ment of the Trouble
Special to TnH TINES.
PoCAHoNTAs, June Slater develop
ments corroborate the interview pub
lished in yesterdays TIMES with a GER
tain well-informed operator in regard
TO large proportion of the operators in
the west Virginia Producers Assocf-
alton intending to resume work A. an
early day.
Intelligence reaches here that the
Simmons creek operators could have
resumed work last Monday with about
one half their regular force and thew
could have listed majority OF their old
men. They were not satisfied to work az
the 20 per cent. reduction, and In q con.
ference between the miners themselves
ana these operators they agreed to 90 to
work on slight reduction, with the
understanding that the operators should
conform to the general scale as adopted
oy majority OF the operators of the
coal nelds. The Simmons operators have
promised to pay their men as much "a
any other producers in the field, which
Is an indication that they have been
giving the rights of the miners due con.
sideration.
Ii is understood that twenty OF the
thirty-two operators are comforting
with their old men about the resump-
ton OF work, and will most likely begin
the production OF coal within the month.
The developments OF the past two DAYS
all point to an early settlement of the
existing difficulties. Steps for speedy
settlement arc being taken by the
strikers as individuals, without the con.
sent or knowledge of Lawless. Many
OF the operators say they will have
nothing 10 do with Lawless. His
methods have been of such a nature as
to cause many OF the union men to
desert the ranks, and large majority
OF his followers who did not Join the
union have already denounced him.
Men who are well posted on the situa.
ton think that general compromise
will be effected between the operators
and miners individually, without the
consent OF the leaders before the Goth OF
the month. 1t is very evident that
Lawless has lost the confidence of a
great majority OF the miners and they
will not regard his counsel in the set
Element OF the difficulties in the future.

respondent says; There is decided
disposition on the part OF the strikers
