IrRout THE TRIBUNE BrREAu.1

Washington. March f2.-No word has been received
at the White House from Colonel George W. Dunn
In regard to his acceptance Of the Secretaryship
OF Arizona, and until something definite does come
from him nothing official Will be given out in
Washington. That the place has been offered to
Chairman Dunn there Is no doubt. although neither
the President nor his immediate subordiuates will
admit that much
III talk about any subject you want except
Colonel Dunn the President said to-day TO little
delegation OF correspondents who called upon him
TO urge the appointment OF some work
connected with the Panama Canal Commission.
Then he added that he had nothing to say about
the rurnor that the place had been offered TO
Chairman Dunn.
It is understood that the President does not care
make an announcement OF the offer to Colonel
Dunn unless the latter accepts the place. To an
nOunce that the tender had been made. and then.
later, to be obliged to say that Colonel Dunn did
want it. would not add to the Presidents
dignity. There to be considerable foundation
for the suppOsitiOn that Colonel Dunn Is not
anxious for the place His friends here say that
II looks too much ike effort to crowd him
OF the State TO suit his fancy
II the President does not receive an acceptance
or declination from Colonel Dunn within a short
time IL would look $ though he had decided let
silence mean dissent II he takes this course the
President will probably offer the place TO some
other friend OF Senator Platt next week. The
place OF right belongs 70 the senior New-YOrk
senator the President believes. Mr.. StOddard.
the incumbent recently removed. was his selection.

has laid the law down. She says
that cotton must be plowed, the
sweet potatoes hilled up, the corn
thinned and hay cut if the weather
will admit. and we have tailed so
far to procure some one to take our
place, and we fear awfully much we
will not have the pleasure of meet
ing with you, but as we are one of
the youngest cousins we are sure
we will be the least missed. In our
imagination we see the cousins as
they gather and listen to their
happy greetings, and while this is
a pleasure it is not to be compared
to the pleasure we would experience
could we meet and greet each one
OF the cousins and the editors on
that date. We trust that not an
other cousin will be kept away and
that each one present may drink of
the cup of Joy for one entire day.
Though we be not present in per-
son we will be there in mind.
