port Complaints Sustained.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., July 20.-(spe-
cial)-Russell A. Ayers resignation has
been promptly accepted by the President.
! and the Secretary himself says that he
VIII get out OF the Office before the LIST
Of next month. Speculation. therefore. is
rife as TO who his successor will be. and
a number Of names are mentioned in
this connection. 1t is stated, and in a
somewhat authoritative manner, that the
President, in the readjustment Of his
Cabinet Will place Attorney-General
Griggs at the head OF the War Depart
ment. 1t is taken from expressions
made by the President that he prefers
Tor the War Office a lawyer OF high stand
ing in preference 10 a military man. and
II seems more than probable that Griggs
VIII be the man. The same informant
then goes on TO say that either Judge
Con, of West Virginia, or Assstant-At-
tOfney-General James A. Boyd will be
made Attorney-General This would
leave open only the place of Assistant
filled by an appointment from Ohio or
Attorney-General, which could easily be
hlied by an appointment from Ohio or
| New York. both Of which desire 10 be
as near the Cabinet as possible.
among Others mentioned for Secretary
OF War are General Horace Porter. the
ambassador at Paris; General James IF.
wilson, Of Delaware, who commands the
military Department of Matanzas an<
santa Clara, and General Francis V.
Greene, of New York. Tie President is
reported to have SAID, however, that he
would not appoint a New Yorker, and IL
TINS be true, it disposes OF the chances
OF Ambassador Porter and General
| Greene
TOBACCO IMPORT COMPLAINTS.
