The Work Will Be Effected Without Any Considerable Delay. ‘The democrats of the Senate have been dis- cuseing the question of reorganization and there is evidently nothing in the talk of the postponement of the election of officers. There have been a number of candidates in the field for the secretaryship, among thom Martin T. McMahon of New York, but it is reported this morning, that McMahon, Lee Chalmers and Ben La Fovre will not let their names go into the caucus and the fight is between Col. L. Q. Washington and_ex-Representative W. R. Cox. The only candidates spoken of for sergeant- at-arms are Col. R. J. Bright of Indiana, Wall of Tennessee and Capt. Haselar of South Dakota. It is believed that Col. Bright will have a large majority of the caucus. There is not much patronage attached to the Senate. and what there is has no civil service restrictions about it and there is always a scramble after it. In the t instance there is considerable alertness among the Senators to see that they get their share of the doorkeopers, messengers and all the clerkships and better offices. ‘This question is entering into that of the election of the two officers who will have the istribution of these offices, and itis said that ition to have Some of the opponents of Col. Bright have been indi ly circulating among the new Senators a statement that when Col. it was he gave most of the is an old story, which the records show not to be true. When the z AT THEIR DESKS.

All Are Compelied to Meet Many Visitors— No Changes Arranged for as Yet—Gossip as to What May Happen When Things Get to a Business Basis. —_—_——__ All the members of the diplomatic corps have been officially notified of the change in the office of Secretary of State and it is expected that they will call tomorrow— diplomatic day— and pay their respects to Secretary Gresham, Several called this morning, including Senor Romero, the Mexican minis; 1 Dr. Guz- man, the Nicaraguan minister. The Secretary arrived at the department at 1u:15 o'clock and was engaged most of day in receiving callers, His mail was large, consisting principally of message: of congratn- lation. Assistan! Secretary Wharton gave him and will remain in the depart- hail have qualified, probably Friday or Saturday. NOT MANY CHANGES EXPECTE: It is not expected that many chi made in the State Department. vs will be Most of the were undisturbed during the previous demo- cratic administration. Secretary Gresham bas already announced the selection of Mr. Quincy of Massachusetts as his chief a-si-tant in place of Mr. Wharton and his will probably be among the number to be senf to the Senate tomorrow. Second Assistant See- | Tetary Adee, who ix one of the oracles of the de- partment, will undoubtedly be retained. He is an authority on all questions relating to the diplomatic and consular services and is well nigh indispensablé in the proper transaction of the business of the department. A change may be made in the office of third assistant secre- tary, now filled by Mr. Grinnell. He was appointed during the last administration and bas rendered good service during the short time he hax been in the department. TWO CONFIDENTIAL OFFICES. A vacancy now exists in the office of solicitor of the department. It was vacated a few weeks ago by Mr. Partridge, the present minister to Venezuela. Mr. H. T. Raymond, private secre- tary to ex-Secretary ‘Tracy, was nominated t the office, but his nomination was not acted on by the Senate. The colicitor is the law ofticer of the department and the Secretary is in con- nt need of his services. The office is under the Department of Justice, but by reason of its close relation-hip to the Secretary of State is usually filled by one of his personal friends. Another office almost as confidential in its duties is that of chief cierk. During the last democratic administration it was filled by Mr. J. F. Lee of Maryland, who was subsequently transferred to the Brazilinn legation. Mr. Sevellon Brown succeeded him as chief clerk and remained in the department until January 15 last, when he in turn was succeeded by the incumbent, Mr. Robert F. Chilton, formerly private secretat dent Morton, He is ploye of the department and is thoroughly familiar with its customs and traditions. He has proved a most efficient officer and should Secretary Gresham deem ,i' advisable to ap- point a new chief would undoubtedly be traus- ferred to some otber office in the department. an old em- As stated in yesterday's Stan, Mr. Ha: Bryan of the bureau of American republics will be Secretary Gresham's private secretary. Mr. Sidney Smith, who held that office under Sec- retaries Blaine and Foster, has been assigned to other duties in the department. At the juest of the world’s fair directors the Secretary of State has distributed invita- tions to the opening ceremonies May 1 to all the members of the cabinet and to the ministers B jand first secretaries of the fore <n legations.

Secretary Lamont received the officers and clerks of the War Department at 10 o'clock this morning. Assistant Secretary Grant and ief Clerk Tweedale made the presentation, The bureau chiefs were accompanied by their assistants, all of whom are officers of the army. All were in civilian dress except Gen. Greely of the signal service bureau, who wore full dress uniform. Secretary Lamont is well acquainted with Gen, Schofield and nearly all the other prominent officers stationed here. The officials were followed by a stream of Congressmen and public function- aries generally, who desired tu renew the ac- juaintance begun eight years ago. The crowd about the doors was 0 great that it became necessary to turn the reception into a public ceremony. AN IOENSE MATL. Secretary Lamont bad an immense mail this morning, including a mass of congratulatio but had no time to attend to it, leaving secretary, Mr. Seager, the duty of arranging the letters for future consideration. Among his callers were Senators Cullom, Jones of Arkansas and Mills. In the afternoon the Secretary had a business conference with Assistant Secretary Grant FEW PURELY POLITICAL OFFICES. ‘There are very few purely political offices at the disposal of the Secretary of War and also very few opportunities for its incumbent to make political capital. Ex-Secretary Elkins and Secretary Lamont are conspicuous espe cially for their foliticalastuteness, however,and so far as the last named is concerned will display it in cabinet councils and in private conference with the President more than is possible in the legitimate administration of army matters. There are really only two of- fices in the de; t of any importance out- side of the heads that are changed with suc- ceeding administrations. These are the assistant secretary and the private secretary. ‘There are, of course, a chief clerk and burean and division officers. Mr. John Tweedale bas been chief clerk so long and under so many different administra- tions and is so pecatiarly identified with the office thet a change in his office is MOST SERVED IX THE WAR. Most of the incumbents served in the civil war as volunteers and were appointed to their Present positions many years ago because of Spedally meritorious service om the field of The clerical force is large, especially in the ‘of pen- sion but it is in the regular clssalGed civil service. The only exceptions to the and watchmen, and these, mioat of the division chiefs, are nearly all erans of the war. GEN.

Schofield paid his respects to the new | Secretary vesterday afternoon and a large num- ber of prominent people called. Ex-Secretary Elkins absence from the War Department yesterday is explained by the fact that he was hastily summoned to Elkins, West Va., by the illness of bis venerable father. The Post Office Department. There was not much opportunity for Mr. Bissell, the Postmaster General, to learn many of the details of the postal system today. He was on hand promptly enough, and when the hands of the clock had reached the hour of 9 | Mr. Bissell was tilting back in his | office chair, reedy for developmenta. There | was no delay in this latter respect, as the men who have business with the head of the postal service, or think they have, began to flow in to the private office of the Postmaster | General soon after that hour. There was) |mo pause or check in the stream of Visitors during the business hours of the day. Mr. Bissell, however, managed to have a warm hand grasp and a pleasant smile for everybody, nd he caimly watched the prog without any apparent aneasines: had not, however, anything to say in @ comforting way to the people who called. Generally he told them tw come ag nd so they | rted. leaving sundrr pa 1 documents whim, whi away for future ects to get through of his ofiice im the of a days, or as soon he people and their’ representatives will allow bim, and then be ix going to try to become somewhat familiar with the business of | the deparcment. He has closed ap his law busi- | | nese Buffalo and, therefe he bas nothing on hend, excepting the administration of the | postal service. He 1s going to trr to give his | attention to these matters, and if in the course of his inve attions he feels that the interests | | of the service will be benefited by making | changes here and there he will proceed to make | them. PRESIDENTIAL POST OFFICES. There are a class of appointments which must come to his attention very soon, These are the presidential post offices, From resignations, the expiration of the four years’ term and other causes, there are now some 175 vacancies | in the offices of the first class, These will have to be attended to in some wi During the month of April there will bes | very few offices the terms of which will expire, jas the appointments made four years ago at this time were not confirmed until the Senate | met in the following fall. There is some ques- tion as to whether the four years’ term begins with the date of the appointment or the da‘e of the confirmation, and probably Mr. Bissell will | decide this question. DEPARTMENT CHANGES. He isinnoburry to make changes in the places in the department, as be tells every one. ‘There are, of course, a great many applications, especially for the piaces of assistant post- masters general. There are four of these places, — Formerly the first assistant’s office was regarded ax the most important, for the appointments of all the fourth-class | postmasters were assigned to that office, but | under the distribution of duties as at present the office of first assistant is now purely an ad- ministrative one, and the incumbent acts in the absence of the Postmaster Gen- eral. All fourth-class appointments are made | by the fourth assistant. i is expected that Mr. Robert Maxwell of Buffalo, N.¥., will be made fourth assistant. Mr. Machen. who was for- merly a deputy postmaster at Toledo, is urged for one of these places, Mr. Roy of Wisconsin, who was chief clerk un- der the former administration, is said t6 be in the ficld again for the same place. For the position of assistant attorney general for the Post Oftice Department ex-Representa- tive Crosby of Massachusetts 1s mentioned. The applications for the various. post qfices throughout the country are legion, no serious consideration will be given to these ap- pointments for some time to come. The Interior Department. Early hours will characterize the new order of things in the Interior Department, if the ex- ample of Mr. Hoke Smith, the new Secretary, is to be generally followed and f the Secretary himself keeps it up. He has made {no promises for the future, but this morning, bright and early, the exact time being 6:20, he was in his office. He found | very few ahead of him, and even his private | secretary, Mr. Bennett, who, as a newspaper | man, is accustomed to be in the front of the | procession, found that the Secretary had | distanced him upon the first morning of jhis official career by at least fen minutes. In the opinion of Mr. Bennett the | Secretary established a dangerous precedent, but if he intends to maintain this pace Mr. | Bennett has no idea of being left be- |hind. The Secretary was none too early |to ‘meet a large number of people who were anxious to see him. The day was spent im shaking hands and exchanging greetings with friends who had come to welcome bim, and some of them at the same time incidentally to introduce persons in whom they hoped the Secretary will take some official interest. WILL MAKE CHANGES SLOWLY. The Secretary states, in reply to all inquiries relative to the changes in the offices, that be has not yet taken that matter up and that be in- tends to move slowly, in order to make no mis- takes. A huge bundle of applications for positions in the department was received and handed over to the intment office, where they were ly riefed and filed. The mail today was un- usually heavy and the bulk of the letters had reference to the services and qualifications of patriots in various parts of the country who, in the opinion of their friends and in their own opinion, are qualified to fill positions under the present administration. GOSSIP A8 TO SOME POSITIONS, ‘There is, of course, a good deal of gossip in regard to the important positiuns which be- long to this department, and the names of a number of individuals of more or less prom- inence have been mentioned. There are two assistant secretaries, and it is stated that Col. Henry L. Muldrow of Missiaipel, \- who was the sutstant socretary under Lamar, is again pushed for ment to his old place, ‘Chere ssoms to be noone specially mentioned for the position of first as- sistant secretary, now held istration was, the chief of the stationery division, is said to be slated for a good place in the dey nt. Exactly what place is not known, but Mr. Lamar’s hosts of friends think that he would adorn the chair of chief clerk or acceptably manage the important affairs of the appointment division. There are quite a stri of entries for the position of commissioner Indian affairs.
