No definite news has yet been received from District Commissioner West as to his plans or the time of his return home. Senator Gorman, who met Mr. West in Pailadelphia a few days ago, in- formed Commissioner Morgan that Mr. West ex- pected to be home Tuesday or Wednesday next. Information received here by others is to the same effect. Commisstoner Morgan stated to a Stax re- porter to-day that hghad had no communication, personal or official, with Mr. West since that gen- tleman’s departure, and knew nothing of a story that differences of opinions between the Commis- sloners as to administration of affairs here have been adjusted. if Mr. West returns it is argued he must either have obtained the support of the President to the policy which he has proposed to introduce into istrict affairs or he must have concluded to sub- mit to the old order of things. Officials at the Co- lumbia buildings conclude, from the fact that nothing has been heard from 'Mr. West or the Presi dent, that he has failed to secure ald and en- couragement from the President, if he reaily sought. an interview with the President for that purpose. Friends of Mr. West, it 1s stated, have endeay- ored to arrange the matter with Mr. Morgan so that Mr. West can return to his place without any. sacrifice of dignity. This statement Is made, of course, on the assumption that Mr. West has not, succeeded in gaining the President’s sanction of his plans. One friend of Mr. West says that the cause of difference among the Commissioners was Mr. West's unwillingness to sacrifice all official independence and assume merely the functions of a clerk; that when he became president of the board he expected to exercise the functions of the chief executive officer of the District and not be restricted merely to the duty of signing his name. —___<§_-e-—___—__ Counuisstons were issued to-day to B. H. Harris, postmaster at Wakefleld Station, Va., and Thomas Green, at Marydell, Md. PRESIDENT ARTHUR Was received at Squantum yesterday with a salute of twenty-one guns, fired by asection of the Providence Marine Corps of artillery. ‘The President seemed to enjoy the en- tertainment, and at the close,piling high the clam shells, he pleasantly quoted sir Christopher Wren’s epitaph in St, Paul's: “Si_monumentum quaeris circumspice.” At 4:13 the President and party took a special train for Providence, where hey arrived in fifteen minutes, and proceeded in carriages to the city hall, where for an hour the President was engaged ih shaking the hands of the people, who passed before him in a constant stream. At the end of the hour the gates of the city hall were closed, although there was still a large crowd outside the building anxious to shake hands. After the reception the party returned to the mayor's offic, where large bouquets were resented to President Arthur and Secretaries relinghuysen and Chandler. The party then drove around by the Brown University to the Hope club, where the President and party were received informally, and a fine collation was served. About 7:30 o'clock the party returned to Newport on the United States steamer Despatch. ‘To-day the President leaves Newport for Nan- tucket and Boston, PgRSONAL.—Dr. Godding, superintendent of the government hospital for the insane, has gone with his wife to Massachusetts, on a short vacation, the first he has taken for over two years.—Mr. A.

This is especially true in the country districts, where the feeling against Gould ts intense. Even John Kelly and several other Tammany politicians here say that Gould and Conkling’s opposition will aid Cornell everywhere. In fact, Corneli’s record for governor has been 80 that the party Is for him, and but afew of the politicians are really against him. Mr. Kelly, who 1s a pretty shrewd politician, sald this morning that he had no doubt of Cornell's renomination. There 1s very little talk about Secretary Folger’s candidacy. While his ability and integrity are conceded the situation seems to be such, at least Just now, that he will not go before the’ conven- Uon asa leading candidate.
