ALBANY, Feb. 23.-The arrival OF Senator
Lamar and Carl Schurz to-day and their visit
to the president-elect created sensation. 1t
was believed they had been sent for and
came together for the purpose of consulting
with Mr.. Cleveland about the cabinet. In
deed, it was Immediately rumored that Mr.
Schurz would be offered a seat in the cabi-
net and that the Bayard slate bad been bro
ken, but it appears these gentlemen didn't
know OF each others presence and neither
was aware of the intention of the other to
call on the president-elect to-day.
Senator Lamar went TO Ken mare and
from there was driven to Willet street. Mr..
Schurz took sleigh and was driven directly
from the train to Trowner mansion. When
they met in Gov. Cleveland's presence they
were mutually surprised. The visit of Mr.
SchurZ had no political significance what
ever He has been lecturing
IN THE SOUTH,
and having completed his work there came
to see the president-elect and have general
talk with him. He told Gov. Cleveland what
he had seen at the South made statement
of the impressions that had been made upon
him by the southern people, and answered
good many questions that Gov.
Cleveland asked him about southern men.
He returned to New York on the 4:45 clock
train, but Senator Lamar remained and was in
consultation with Cleveland until late hour
tonight. All that can be ascertaiued con-
cerning his visit was that the cabinet ques-
| ton had been discussed, but it is not known
which place in the cabinet was offered to him.
1t is not doubted, however, that he was
offered one of the departments and that he
agreed to accept it. He will in all proba-

the honor of having converted Townshend

They were most strongly opposed to it when
he was given the duty Of bringing them into
the camp of the exposition supporters, and
when he finished them they were the strong
est supporters of the measure. He is conf

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The sundry civil
bill a. reported to the house to-day gives
$4,000 for continuing the work ON the
MISUNDERSTANDING and puts the amount at
$500, 600. This will probably 90 through this
time without opposition and settle the vexed
question which has troubled Minneapolis
whole year. Should it pass the supervising
architect viii begin work as soon as the
weather will permit.
Chairman Barnum Of the Democratic ex-
ecutiye committee, who was here a day or
two ago, stated his understanding is that
Villas is 10 be made secretary Of war. This
seems to be generally accepted on ali hands
now. Senator-clect Spooner is expected to
arrive here about March ..
A good deal of interest is felt in regard to
the Kreidcr case tomorrow. The indica-
tious are shat the Democrats will most Of
them vote with the Wisconsin senators against
Krcidlcr. In addition to this there are
a half-dozcn Republicans who will vote with
them, so that many believe that the matter
will tomorrow be laid over till March ,. II Is
understood that Maginnis, who was support
ing Krcidlcr, has Withdrawn his aid, as he
desires To see the matter 20 over and a Dem
ocrat appointed.
There is much doubt rs TO whether Prcsi-
dent Arthur will name successor to the late
Gov. Hale Of Wyoming. The Iowa dclega-
tion is pressing candidate for the place,
and the Wyoming Republicans want Judge
Warren Of Cheyenne appointed.

Mr.. Randall said that an effort had been

he denied, and appealed 10 the record of the
