At twelve o'clock he catled a mecting of his Cabinet. There were present Secretaries Fish, Bristow and Delano, Postmaster Gen. eral Jewell and Attornes-tieneral Pier- Teyont. At ha't-past one o'clock, and while the Cabinet was still in som sion, Judge Fisher came into the White house and remained in consaltation Wiis Mr. Levi Luekey about ftteen minates. A STAR representative asked him if his case preseted any new phase and he replied that it did not. but his nervous manner indicated that he was still on the “ragged elge.”” -Atten minutes befere two o'clock Secre- y Delano left the Cabinet consultation and drove away. He declined to make e subject of discussion. After he hud gone the remaining members continued their deliberations, ond were still in session at3p.m. It is said that the subject of discussion at the special session was with reference to the administration of the affairs of the Interior department and the case of Judge Fisher. me of the President's friends say that he has become restive ander the frequent eom- plaints made frem reputable sources con- rerning the administration of Secretary Delar.o, and particularly with reference to the Indian management.

Hearing favorable reports of this sea-side resort, as now managed, I came down here on the steamer J@ne Moseley, leaving Wash- ington at 3 p.m. Friday, and reaching here about 5a.m.Saturday. The Moseley, which was built under contract to ran at least twenty miles per hour, could, of course make the distance between Washington and here in considerably less time than this; bat it is not at all desirable to ran at the highest speed on this route, as she reaches her land- ing points, hereabouts, at quite as early an hour as passengers care to disembark. That she can distanceany competitors realily, o: cecasion, was shown by the ease with which she passed the Baltimore boat to Norfolk o: the way. The Jane Moseley, under the care ofCapt. Ballwin, a thorough sailor anda corteous and attentive officer, is earning de served popularity.
