Senator's Back From New York.

A NEW VERSION OF THE STORY THAT MR.. RAN
DALI DECLINED GARNET POSITION
Senators German, Pugh, and Jonas have re-
turned from New York. All speak of their cor
dial reception by Mr.. Cleveland, but admit that
the cabinet was not discussed. In fact, the Sen.
ators did not go to urge any special views with
regard to the cabinet but simply to meet the
next President and become eacquaintedwith him
good deal of speculation has grown out OF
the fact that Mr.: Randall was teiegraphed to
in New. York city, and that together with
them he called upon Mr.. Cleveland
the call was to invite the President-eiect to
attend the Americus club reception in Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Randall had been made CHAIR
man of the reception committee, and 1t was
thought proper that he should invite MIR.
Cleveland. The latter accepted the invitation.
Out OF this has come the story that Mr.. Ran
dali was offered cabinet position and declined

Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet and Policy.

WHAT REPRESENTATIVE MOCLTON SAYS AFTER
VISITING THE PRESIDENT-ELECT.
Congressman MOulton has returned from his
visit to Mr.. Cleveland. He said to STAR re-
porter that he found him to be conversant upon
public topics and very familiar with the records
of public men. He spoke freely of the various
men in public life, and discussed the party pol
icy. AS to the cabinet he is likely to select no
second or third-class men for those positions
He will take none, Mr.. MOulton thinks, except
the ablest men in the country. AS to the party
policy, he inferred that MIR. Cleveland would
IavOr prompt strengthening of the national
defenses; will favor economy in the admins
tratiOn Of the government, and will stand by
the declarations in his letter civil service re-
form. Mr.. Cleveland spoke freely on these sub
tects. The tariff was not referred to, but Mr..
Moulton says he believes Mr.. Carlisle and Mr..
Cleveland agree upon this subject.

New FEATURES OF PROPOSED INDIAN
LEAsE.-A delegation of Kiowa, Commanche
and Apache Indians have laid before Secretary
Teller a proposition to lease n portion OF their
lands, which presents some interesting features.
The lands leased they declare to be such only
as they do not themselves need for farms; the
lease is to run six years, and the rate fixed is
SIX cents per acre-three times as much as is
obtained by the leases made by their tribes
and will bring the Indians about 81 so per fam
lily annually. Fitty-four Indians are to be en-
pioyed as herders by the cattemen; payments
are to be made alternately in cash and in one and
two years old cattle. In these respects the In
dians seem to have adopted some of the sug-
gestions made by Secretary Teller in his last
report. The Indians say that in six years they
hope to have enough cattle to Craze the country
