ARRIVAL IN WASHINGTON.

AhhIN AL IN W MASHINGION.
MIR. CIeyeland's Views on the silver
Questiom-UnintentiOn Delay on the
Part Of the Senate Committee Regard
ing the Committee of NOtificatiOn-The
New York Legislature and the Insngu-
ration.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-An Albany
special says: The statement that the
members Of the Cabinet would be an
nounced before the end of the week, is
officially denied this evening, and il is
now understood that Mr.. Cleveland will
not make public the list of his Cabinet
until after he arrives in Washington. 1t
IS now thought that Senator Thurman
will not come to Albany,as was expected
few days ago. Mr.. Cleveland Will leave
for Washington the morning Of March 3,
and will reach there on the evening of
the same day.
1T is contemplated by some members of
the Legislature to move on Friday, Feb.
y, that the adjournment on that day be
until the evening of Monday. March 9, so
as to give the members a chance to wit
ness the inauguration ceremonies and at
tend the ball"
The Introduction of a silver bill bV Mr.
DOrsheimer, Of New York, in the House
to-day created considerable talk The ill
| informed have an idea that DOrsheimer
is still the intimate friend of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and that he is likely to be the lat
ter's personal choice for Secretary Of the
Treasury, and that therefore everything
that be does and says in regard to public
| affairs IS important as rejecting Mr..
I Nl4X4IAnn'E iG
! DOrsheimer is no longer in close relations
with Mr.. Cleveland, and does not repre-
sent him in the least. The bill pleases
neither the silver men nor the anti-silyer
men, and will probably never emerge
from the committee to which 1t was re-
ferred. II certainly could not be passed
in either House. Mr.. CleVeland's views
on the silver question have been misun-
derstOOd. He does not desire either an
absolute repeal or absolute suspension of
the silver dollar coinage law. What he
desires is that the President or the
Secretary of the Treasury may be
given discretion as to the coinage of the
silver dollar, so that it could be suspended
whenever it seemed best to do so. This is
what Messrs. Barnum and Scott urged
upon Democratic Cangressmen when here
The other day. 1t is not entirely certain
that Congress may adopt some such pro-
vision as this IN the sundry civil bill.
AN UNINTENTIONAL DELAY.
The delay on the part OF the Senate
Committee on Privileges and Elections in
the consideration of the House resolution
creating a committee of Senators and
Representatives to notify Messrs. Cleve-
land and Hendricks of their election is
accidental and not intentional. The COM
mittee at its next meeting will act upon
the resolution. AS it was referred to the
committee simply in order that its Ian
guage might be improved, it Will be per-
fected in this respect and then
he reported favOrably to the
Senate, and the Senate Will adopt
it as a matter of course. Sometime ago
it was suggested to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections that the old GUS
tom of formally notifying the President
and Vice President of their election
might be revived with advantage, but the
committee did not deem it best to do so.
