by the cabinet that the resignation

ing the Office is left for future ac-
ton. 1t is felt by the administratio /,
that to accept the resignation at this
time would establish a bad prece-
dent.

again the subject of some considera-
ton, but Postmaster General Payne
had little in the way of develop
ments to communicate. Attorney
General Knox, to whom the case was
referred, said he expected to begin
consideration of the papers almost
Immediately. Reference to the In
dianOla case led to some discussion
OF the subject of Southern appoint

the general policy of the admins
tration. The papers relating to sew
eral appointments were taken up
and it is understood some deter
mined upon but nothing concerning
them was made public.
