day or two from the city of Senator Gar
land leaves an impression among his friends
that he has again gone to Albany. Others
say he has gone to his own state Of Arkan-
sas. The chances are, however, that he has
gone to see the president elect. One rumor
is that the president is averse to giving the
department of justice to southern man and

department of state. 1t is somewhat irrita-

his cabinet. No one seems to have any idea
of his intentions, and, if any senator has the
| confidence of the new president, he holds
his counsel we'll. So far, as is now known,
1t is not the intention of Mr.. Cleveland to
come to Washington until the 1st of March.
