Will Have the State Portfolio.

New YORK, Dec 8.
An Albany special to the Tribune says it is
strongly suspected here that President-elect
Cleveland has followed the example of Abra-
ham Lincoln by offering the office of the Sec
retary of State TO Thomas +. Bayard, his chief
rival at the national convention. At 1890
Saturday night Senator Baysrd arrived at AL
bany and was met at the depot by friends of
the Governor. He was placed in Cleveland's
carriage and was taken to the executive man
sion.
No hotel register or hotel politicians were
to be permitted to disclose the fact that he
had visited Albany. He was welcomed at the
door of the executive mansion by President
elect Cleveland. There he remained as
Cleveland's guest till Sunday afternoon, when
he started on his return journey to New
York

hr Hale called up the naval appropriation
bill and moved that the Senate further insist
on its amendments and order a new coufer-
ence; so ordered.
large number Of petitions were presented
urging the constitutional prohibition of the

Among the bills introduced and referred
were the following:
BY Mr.. Sherman. to provide for the cree
ton of a statue to the memory of Gen. La
fayette.
BY Mr.. Hawley, to empower the President
to reappoint not more than two persons as
first lieutenants in the army.
Mr.. Slater called up the Oregon Central
land forfeiture bill.
Mr.. Harrison, referring TO his own bill for
the admission of Dakota, was objecting to
the consideration of Mr.. Skaters bill, and was
informed by the chair that the debate was out
of order.
The Senate refused by vote of 90 TO 80 to
take up the Oregon railroad bill. 1t was
| then decided by a party yote-34 to 25-tn
take up the bill for the admission of Dakota,
the republicans voting in the affirmative and
the democrats in the negative.
The Dakota bill having thus secured the
right of way for o'clock the Senate pro-
ceeded to the consideration of other business.
A joint resolution to amend the constitu-
tion so as to authorize the President to veto
| special clauses of appropriation bills while
approving the remainder was made special
/ order for Dec. 10
| The bill TO amend sections of the revised
statutes which prohibits the delivery of reg
istered letters and the payment of money
orders to lottery companies, was read the
third time and passed. The amendment con
sists of striking out the word 'fraudulent'
| so as to cover lotteries generally and moi
mere fraudulent lotteries.
! The Senate then passed without debate the
bill providing for the ascertainment of claims
of American citizens for depredations COM
mitred by the French, prior to July 81, 1901.
IL is the same bill which passed the Senate
two years ago.
The Dakota bill was then taken up.
Mr.. Harrison addressed the Senate on the
bill. He explained it briefly as proposing to
divide the Territory of Dakota on the 46th
parallel, making very nearly an equal divis-
ion of the Territory. The bill proposed fer
ther to organize into State that portion OF
the Territory lying south of the 46th parallel
| to continue that portion of the Territory
north of that parallel under the present terri
torial government, and transfer to that Ter
ritory the United States officers now in the
Territory, and gives to that part of Dakota
| that remains in territorial condition the name
of Lincoln" As to the new State, the bill
provides for a constitutional convention,
the result of whose work shall be submit
to the people, and if adopted by them and
found to be conformable to the bill under
consideration, the President is authoriz 10
rake proclamation of the fact, and the
State is to be thereupon admitted to the
Union.
At the close of Mr.. Harrison's speech the
Senate went into executive session and later
adjourned.
