Cabinet Changes Begin.

Washington, Dec. 18.—The changes in the cabinet began yesterday when William H. Moody took the oath as associate Justice of the supreme court, vacating his cabinet position, possession of which was at once taken by Navy Secretary Bonaparte, whose place as navy secretary was taken by Secretary of Commerce Metcalf. This opened the way for Oscar S. Straus to take the position vacated by Metcalf, and cabinet changes were completed until March next, when Shaw will surrender the treasury portfolio.
