CABNET-MAKING SUSPENDED.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The President went to
Ncw-York to-day, and the industry OF Cabinet
making is likely to be transferred to that city fora
week The two names most discussed for the Cabi-
net by the wcll-uformed politicians on the
ground are those of ex-senator Sargent for the
Interior Department and William L. Chandler for
the Navy Department
Some intimate personal friends of the President
who have been in consultation with him upon these
matters, believe that ex-senator Sargent Will be
chosen On the other hand, number Of Secretary
Kirkwool'S friends expect TO see him retained Tor
several months at least
Prominent gentlemen are strongly urging the Sc
lection of Mr.. Chandler as the New England mem
Der Of the Cabinet not only because they believe 1t
would De q polite act upon the part of President
Arthur to invite into his Cabineta conspicuous rep
rcscntative Of the men to whom he was formerly OPP
posed and because they respect and like Mr Chahd-
lers sturdy and independent ways IN politics. Dut
also because they argue that be Is the most avala-
bile New England man. Mr.. Boutwell,, who Is inc
only other Ncw-Eugander prominently mentohed
ia said to prefer his place a. counscl before the
French and American Claims Commission. There
,ronId be- also strong opposition 20 Mr. BOutwcIs
anpoiutucut among tho active Stllwarts, some Of
whom have expressed the opinion IN terms more
positive than scientific that there Is much ot the
palrozoic formation abOut the Cabinet already:
Doubts ara expressed as to whether MI. lioWc
will remain long IN the Cabinet Ills health is not
good He is afflicted with asthma, which tue climate
of Washington aggrayates.
The statement made frequently that President
Arthur requested Po,tma,-cr-t'cncrai James To re-
main until after the Star Route cases were con-
cludcd. and that Mr.. James refused, Is pronounced
untrue on excellent authority.
