Several members of the Cabinet formed by the late President have declined President Arthur’s invitation to retain office, and a reconstruction of the Cabinet is necessitated. Mr. Blaine (Secretary of State), Mr. Windoms (Secretary of the Treasury), and Mr. MeVeagh (Attorney-General), have resigned. The Taupo correspondent of the Bay of Plenty Times writes : —“ This last week Tongariro has been emitting large volumes of black emoke, with a lurid glare showing towards the sky, but no actual fire could be seen. A loud report was heard on Tuesday evening, like the discharge of heavy ordinance. Outbreaks of this description lead one to expect a ‘ burst up,’ the sfajmgs in 1869 and 1870.”
