CABINET PROBABILITIES.
LIST OF THE MEN WHO WILL
PROBABLY BE THE CHOICE.

| The Nominations to be Sent to the
Senate TO-mOrrOw-Atkins' Nomina-
ttOn Hangs Fire and Goes Over to the
Next COngress-The Defeat of the
! Subsidy Men.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-CIeveland's
! Cabinet will be nominated to the Senate
on Thursday. The best information at
tainable tonight is to the effect that the
following will be the nominations which
| he will then make:
Secretary Of State-ThOmas F. Bayard.
| Secretary Of the redsury-Daniel Man
| ming.
Secretary Of the Intertor-L. Q. c.
| Lamar.
Secretary of WGr-William Endicott.
Secretary Of the NaUy-Wiuiam c.
| Whitney.
| Postmaster GenerdL-W. F. Villas.
| ATTORNEY GenerdL-A. II. Garland.
The Mcdonald men here have made a
| strong effort this evening to have Mr..
Mcdonald substituted for Mr.. Villas or
for Mr.. Whitney. They claim that there
| is still possibility that this may be the
| outcome.
The friends of Patrick A. Collins say
that he may yet be substituted for Mr..
| EndicOtt as Secretary OF War. Gentle
| men of prominence who have talked with
| Mr.. Cleveland this evening hold both the
| Mcdonald and Collins theories. Never
theless, some of MIR. Cleveland's most in
| innate friends are responsible for the
statement that the President has chosen
| the seven men first named to be his Cabi-
net, and that this evening they met in his
| rooms at the Arlington and listened 10
his inaugural address. 1t is certain that
they all conferred with Mr.. Cleveland this
| evening.
ATKINS NOMINATION GOES OVER.
The nomination OF James Atkins to be
District Attorney for Northern Georgia
will 90 over. The facts presented were
sufficient to convince the Judiciary Com
mittee, without a formal argument, that
the nomination ought not to be confirmed
1t will not be reported at all.
Gen. A. Il. Lawton is here. Mr.. CleVe-
lahd would have made him u member of
his Cabinet If he could have arranged 1t.
THE ''sTAR's" VIEWS.
The EUening Star tonight says that the
West has given up all hope of recognition
in the Cabinet. The best friends of Messrs.
Thurman and Mcdonald say that neither
has chance to go into the Cabinet. They
say that they believe, though they regret
1t, that two New York men will be among
the chosen, and that the administration
VIII, at the first glance, be open to the
criticism that 1T is made in the interest of
the East, while the West will he ignored.
This, they say, will be keenly felt by many
leading Democrats. 1t is believed that
Bayard, Whitney, Manning, Garland, La
mar and Villas are decided upon. Messrs.
Endicott ana Mcclellan are both here,
and the friends of each are opposing the
other, and each expects to get the War
Department. The chances are said to be
with Mr.. EndicOtt, though the fight that
is being made against him may defeat
both, and another may be selected, proba-
bly, Mr.. Collins.
DEFEAT or THE SUBSIDY MEN.
The conspicuous feature of this after
Moons proceedings in Congress was the
final defeat of the Pacific Mail subsidy
men. The House by a vote of I2S in favor
to l32 against refused formally and fatty
to agree TO the Senate amendment carry
ing the 100000 subsidy. The friends of
the subsidy staked all on this motion and
did not take their disappointment calmly.
The result of the vote was unexpected.
John Roach and all his lieutenants have
been hard at work for three days supple
menting the efforts of their representa-
tives Oh the floor and in the lobby. They
expected success. The leader of the John
Roach forces on the floor was HerrandO
DeSOto Money, of Mississippi, who has
been ''mentioned" for Postmaster Gen
eral. He is now being mentioned for First
Assistant Postmaster General.
