WasHINuTON, D. €., Feb, 20.—A number of New York bank men have arrived hevo to ascertuin whether or not there Is any prospect of & veto of the Funding bill and to obtain an official construction of its provi- sions, 1t I3 found that opinlous greatly dilfer as to the construction, purticularly of he fifth section, Natlonal bnnks have gene- rally éupposed that they would huve until July 1 next to determine whether or not thoy would retire their circulation, but some of the ‘Lressury oflicials maintain that the provisions relative to the retirement of clr-, culation will go Into effect whenever the act shall be’'approved. The bill certanly PHOVIDES FOR AN IMMEDIATE REPEAL of tho first section of tho act of June 20, 187, which fs the act under which the retireinents are now mnde by presentation of legal- tenders through the Treasnry us @ clearing- house, and also reduncts Sees, 5,150 and 5,160 of the Revised Statutes, which require tho Nntional banks to collect their own rates; but even this does not permit a reduction of circulation below one-third of the capital stock, ' To Saturdny morning there wasno Incrense of Tetlretnunts of circulation ns o consequence of the passage of this bill. To- morrow tho bank statement, however, WILT, SHOW A DIFFERENT RESULT. Notiee has been recelved of the retirement of the following circulution of National banks: Market Natlonal Bank, §%2,110,0005 Tirst National Bank, Now York, $i00,000; Amerlean Exchange National Bank, $5,000,- "Third Nationrl Bank, $750,000, The lm+ pression in banklnge clreles, too, thatthe fifth section applics only to tho clrculation hereafter to bo Issued Is Incorrect.

CABINET GOSSIP, CONKLING'S FRIENDY. aipeetal Dispaten to The Chicage Tribunc, WAsHINGTON, D, C,, Yeb. 20.—The friends of Mr. Conkling say that there is no tonger any question that Judgs Folger will be Seo- retury of tho Trensury under Garfleld. The fnet that Conkling hns roturned sutisfled from his Mentor trip, and the further fact that Falger hlmsolf was closeted eliht hours yesterduy with the President-oloct, are cir- cumstances which tend to confirm these re- ports, It 1s known that for some weeks fricuds ot Gen. Gartleld have urggd him to muke Conkling an earnest supporter of his Adwfalstration 1f possible, even to the ox- tent of giving the Trensury Department to New Ycerk; but Gen, Gurfleld was not dis- posed to muko Levi P, Morton Secretury of tho 'Ireasury, particularly for the reason that 1E 18 A OREAT BANKER | and has beon pennected with the syndicates. The same objection could not be made to Judge Folger, and the latter has many quali- ties which Alorton does not possess, besjdes belng o strong friend of Conkling. Judge Tolger is not offensive to the other factlons in New York politics, and would not be op- posed by them, ‘This report, like so mauy others, muy not be continued when the Cublnet nominatlons are sont to the Senate | ut the oxceutive sesstou, but It §s certain that tho Conkling men now feel very confldent that such will be the case, and they are MAPPY IN THELR VICTORY, This usslgnwent ef the Treasury Depart- mont, shoutd It be made, would leave * Alll- son out of the Cabinet. One enthusiastie Conkling man said to-day that Alllson had veally never been on the slate at Mentor, The friends of Mr, F are becoming anxions beenuse Mr, Blaine hasnot tendered the resignatlon of his Senatorship, ‘Ihey say that they had fully understood that Mr, Blaine was to do this so that the resignation could reach Augusta to-morrow, In order that the eleetion of Mr. Blaine's suceessor could take pleco one week from Tuesiday next, i thoe for Mr, Frye to take his seat ot the executive sesslon to vote npon the organ- tzntlon of the Senate. 1t Is sald that this hns nut been done, mud that THE BELAY WILL BE DISADVANTAGEOUS ta the party If the exceutive seasion shall be hinmedintely ealled. Fryo's frivnds say that the delay In sending in Blaine's restgnation lielps to confinn the reports that Binine, ufter all, inay not go Into’the Cabinet, and that he does not wish to relinquish a cestainty for a possible uncertainty. Blalne's friends, on the other hand, insist that it “would be - proper for him to resign at preseént, ns such an net wonld be. equivalent to a declueation that he had been assigned a place In the new Cabinet, and that would be unwise and in- delieate, BLAINE I8 RAPIDLY IMPROVING. Ife has had n gevereattack of rheumatic gout 1n both kiees, which hus confined bl 'to his bed and given hin Intense pain, o will bo on hls feat fully recovered beforé nangira- tlon, e wounlid go to the Senntdnow If hiy physiclans did not forbid him frow incurring the danger of o relapse fu the duamap, ehanges able wenther, Some of Blaine's friends say that after all others have visited Mentor he will go there, and that the Cabines witl not be formed until o does go there. 'They ridi- culu the fden that Judge Foleer will be See- retary of tho T'rensury, sl say that THE MOST TIAT COULD LK DONE CONKLING g would be to appoint Morton Secretary of the Nuvy, or James Dostmaster-General, Mr, Blaine’s friends also assert that the report of the approaching reconeilintion of Blaine aud Conkilng Is without foundation, ‘They ve not been on spenking terms for fourteen vears, and It Is hardly to be supposed that they ure willing to inule the necessary il vanees to each other, One thing is certain, the gentlemen who may be seleeted by Gen. Garfleld ns his constitutional advisers will be nceeptable to the Republlean purr.ly. Democrats who have attempted toget up il l‘tunllufi at the outset fiml themselves disappolnted, and the new Cabinet will un- doubtedly be well received by the people, Gen.
