WASHINGTON City, Feb. 2S.-The formal

Saturday, and the ceremonies both at the
monument grounds and at the capitol were

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 23.-The cabinet
gossip is gradually eliminating some of the
doubtful material from the list, and, in
doing so, making tolerably sure of at least a
part Of that body. Indeed, there is good
reason to believe that the slate, as at
present made up, is pretty well known here
and that it stands about as follows: State
department., Bayard; treasury department,
Manning; interior department., Thurman
post Office department., Miller, of Nebraska;
department of justice, Garland war de-
partment, Villas; navy department., Morse.
