THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.
Retirement of Secretaries Hay, Long
 and Root Expected.

A special to the Hartford Courant this morning has the following to say about President Mckinley's cabinet:
 The speculation as to the presidents cabinet has already begun. It seems to be the opinion that of the present cab inet members only Secretaries Gage, Wilson and Hitchcock will be retained in their present places. These men have proved satisfactory to the presi- dent and will be retained after March 4 1T they choose to again accept port folios. While it is thought that Post master General Smith will be conspicu- ous during the next administration 1t is not believed, if he remains in the cabinet at all, he will be at the head of the postotfice department. Some have connected his name with the state department. Others believe that he will choose to be sent abroad, but those who know him best say his newspaper interests in Philadelphia are such that he will not be willing 10 go further away than Washington.
 The retirement of Secretaries Hay, Long and Root is generally expected. Messrs Hay and Root have both suf- fered much from i'll health during the past summer. It is generally under stood that members of their families have urged their retirement from pub lIC ltle- hOOt pIISdte III ieIeSlS are said to be such that he remains at the head of his department only at loss to himself. Mir Long has long chafed under the duties which have come to him in the navy department, and, it has been said has remained in the cabinet only at the solicitation of the president.
 MT Grig@s will surely retire from the head of the department of justice. This is authoritative and not speeuid- tive He came to the cabinet only at the personal solicitation of Mir Hobart. With the death of the vice-p president he would have retired, but the condi- tions were such in the country and in his department that he could not do so without greatly embarrassing the administration. His law practice Is said to be worth something like S75,- GOO a year to him. and he has neglected it to remain in the cabinet only with great reluctance.

To this the man replied that he worked it getting in suckers. He was asked why he didn't try to make sn honest living and he said he didn't have to try, that he got along very well as he was. He then showed how hs fxed his hand to make it appear paralyzed. Rollins admitted all that Coburn said WAS true. but that he was not half as drunk as Coburn.

The fact that the election is 10. De

MAY DIsPLACE WALTON.
Dissatisfaction With Present Repub-
lican Chairman.

Dissatisfaction With Present Repuo-
lican Chairman.
It was stated on good authority yes
terday that Wesley K. Walton would
not conduct the Republican campaign
for the special election. It is we'll
known that there is bitter opposition
to Mr.. Walton within his state COM
mittee. 1t is also asserted that he IS
anxious to retire from the chairman
ship and that he win retire at the state
convention called to nominate a can
didate for congress. The logical candi-
date to succeed TO this position is Den
mis- c. EichROr and he Is the only man
thus far mentioned in connection with
Il. Mr. Eichnor had a reputation as
harmOnizer that was not entirely blast
ed by his elevation to the position of
deputy mayor. 1t is said I'm his behalf,
too. that he is in close touch with Ham
Tnond and his hackers. and his position
as city and county chairman would en-
able him to get quick action on the
special election
Mr. Walton was not TO be found yes
terday, but it is stated by Secretary P.
p Christensen Of the state committee
and is generally understood by local
party leaders that a meeting of the
committee VIII be held within a week TO
issue the call for a state convention.
