C., Oct. #7.—Plans are be- ing discussed to secure an adjournment of the special session at the end of the toming week if possible. Speaker Randall and Vice-President Wheeler have had conferences npon this sub- jéct. The former has given out that it is prac- ticable. It would be entirely possible so far as the House is concerned if the Democrats should decide upon it as a varty palicy. The necessary appropriation bills could be pushed in three days if there was mo_disposition to debate. Democrats generully have stated, however, that they should debste the deficiency estimates from the Navy Department, in order to ascer- tain how it was that ex-Secretary Robeson cre- ated so large a deficieucy in the pay account. 1f this debate should once begin, it would be DIFFICULT TO LIMIT IT. There is slso a very strong dcsire, especially among Western and Southern men of both par- ties, to have some action with respect to the re- peal of the Resumption nct. Leaders of this movement have said to-day that they should oppose any attempt to adjourn until there had been -an opportunity for consideration of that question. The Eastern Democrats are quite as anxious to avoid a discussion of this subject, at least until after the November elections. The Senate can scarcely dispose of its nomina- ticns In a week, and attend to the appropriation Dbills which will be sent from the House, asit 15 now apparent many of the nominations will Te very dlosely serutinized, and while they will for the most part undoubtedly be confirmed, the indications are that more time than usual Wil be consumed in disposing of them. Under these circumstances it is diflicult to see how it will be possibie to reconcile the conflicting cle- menzs »o that adjonrnment can take place the coming week. Geu. Arthur, Collector of New York, REFUSES TO RESIGK, although he was asked to do s0 some days 820. This will complicate the confirmation of New York appointments. Arthur has said that he doclines to comply with the request for the reason that Senator Conkling secured him the position, and that he proposed to stand by that Senator. The inference from this is that Conk- Tine may intend to antaonize the confirmation of Ruosevelt. To prevent this antagonism, or at Jeast postpone it, requests have been made upon the President that he should not send these nominatious to the Senate until the winter session. THE SILYER BILL. uator Jones is confident that the silver re- moXetization bill will pass the House by a con- siderable majority. There arcnow two bills for fhat purpose. ot by Ingalls and one by Joues. They are essentially the same. Jones' bill more deflnitely declates how silver shall be re- Ionetized, and provides for free coiuage, and alsoall debts and contracts which by their ferms cannot otherwise be discharzed Will be payable in the silver dollar. Senator Jones {hinks that the bill to remonctize the silver dollar at the old relation, 15 93-100 in silver and one in gold, with unrestricted coinage and uplimited lezal-tender functions will be passed this session. Jones etates his position in respect to the Resumption act to be this: He \Will oppose thie repeal of_the Resumptiou act if the Silver bill passes: otherwise he will vote for its repeal.

THE DEVENS LETTER. Bostow, Mass., Uct. 27.—Attorney-General Devens, writing from Washington, excusing himself from active participation in the State campalen, says: “1 learn with surprise and re- gret that mauy Republican oflicials hesitate to speak or vote, alleging asa reason the Presi- dent’s recent Civil-Service order. In distinct terms that order states that the rights of officials to vote and express their views on hublic questions, eitber orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does uot inter- fere with the discharze of thelr officisl duties. 1f such gentlemen choose not to vote or not to express or enforce their views fo support of tire principles of the Republican party, * cither orally or otherwise, they at least should not give a reason for such a course which 15 not Sictinied by the order referred to, and which is simply a perversion of it.” OUR POST-OFFICE. WHERE SHALL TOE FRONT DOOR BE? Special Dispateh to Thr Chicago I'mbune. TWASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 27.—It is evident that there is to he au extended fight over the Jocation of the front of the Chicago Custom- House. Dispatches have been received by those who favor the change to Clark street,stating that 2 large delegntion will come onif pecessary. It does not appear that it will be necessary, unless the arguments of the Dearborn street people are strong enough to change the position taken by the Treasury. 1t is generally under- stood here that withough the decisiou 1s held back to evable the Dearborn street delegation 10 be heard, the matter is practically settied. it would certainly have been settied in favor of Clark street but for the publication of the fact that a hearing 1n a quiet way was being had. The decision to change the (ront, however, is ot of s recent date. It was practi- cally made last summer. Kepresentative Ald- rich has received a dispatch from a pumber of bankers and business men, stating that they will be here on Friday. Aldrich has also re- ceived and filed with the ‘Lreasury 2 protest aza:nst the change. The following is the text of the protest: To the Hon, J.
