Will Hayes Veto the Funding Bill,
WASHINGTON, March 2.-It is evident
now that the funding bill will pass, but
there is report traced to the White
House that the President Will veto it.
An inmate OF the White House, closely
connected by official relations with the
President, informed Michigan member
OF Congress to-day that the bill will be
vetoed. This is not credited, because 1t
is known that Secretary Sherman ad-
vised the Republican Congressman not
to fillibuster against the bill.
The Cabinet Reports
to-day are that Allison will be Secretary
ofthe Treasury; Wayne McVeagh, At
torney General; Robert Lincoln, Secre-
tsry Of War, and Levi p. Morton, Secre
tary of the Navy. Senator 'kirkweOd
saws he knows nothing about the rumor
of his appointment as Secretary OF the
Interior; that he has not seen Garfield
and had not asked anybody about the
matter.
Senator Blame Said
TO several Republican Senators last
night that Allison would be Secretary OF
the Treasury. Blaine said few days
ago that he had some doubt about Alll-
son, but row he is satisfied that'he will
be appointed.
Senator Window is mentioned as Sec.
retary of the Treasury, but the general
opinion holds to Allison.
A member OF the. Senate Judiciary
Committee said to-day that nothing
would be done with the nominations oil
Matthews and Billings.
The Democratic Senators
will organize the committees immedi-
ately after the new Senate meets, and
will act promptly on all nominations.
The Chinese treaty will probably be
considered, but the extra session OF the
Senate will adjourn before the vacancy
from Wisconsin can be filled, and that
will leave the
Senate Democratic
nutill the Forly.seventh Congress
meets. Prominent Democrats say that
there will be no opposition 10 any OF
Garfield's nominations.
The Inauguration.
The Senate Special Committee on the
Inauguration, composed OF Messrs. Pen
deton, Bayard and Anthony, waited on
Garfield today, informed him OF the
programme and it was accepted and
agreed to.
Hungry Cfice Hunters.
President-eleCt General James A. Gar
field has been besieged all day with
callers, but only few have been grant
ed an audience. He gave particular no
tice that he could not talk with persons
about office, and all such are turned
over t. his Private Secretary. There
have b zen hanging around the corridors
a large number OF persons eager To OBJ
tain an interview, whose faces are not
familiar in this city. They come from
New York, Pennsylvania and his own
State, and judging from their
manners they are office hunters.
Very little is known outside and much
uncertainty prevails AZ 10 who are to
compose the Cabinet Itis under stood
that they are nearly all determined upon
but have not been assigned to their re-
spective positions. General Gsrheld's
present intention is not TO have their
names divulged until they go to the
Senate for confirmation. 1t is not im.
probable that some Of the gentlemen
selected may not know of their appoint
ment until they are announced official
ly. This course, he thinks, will relieve
him from any annoyaRces on the part
OF those who may object to his selec-
tions.
