D. Bissell is more talked about lust now
in political and society circles than anv

former law partner, the president. Mr..
blssell is discussed in society because of the
settled conviction that he will be the only
man In this city who will see the White

and personal friends are among those who

he will take it, He would be a man in
whom the president would have implicit
confidence, and who would be able to

has very good idea of financial matters
and is well posted on the policy of the ad-
ministratiOn. Just before the cabinet was
made up last year, Col. Butler of the News
had reliable information that if a general
expression OF sentiment was made for Mr..
Blssell for secretary of the treasury. he
would be appointed. Several columns of
interviews were printed with bankers, law
yers, merchants and others, favoring MIR.
Bissen. That gentleman begged that no
further 'hoom'' for him be made, because
he didn't want to embarrass the president
at that time by accepting the Office. Mr..
Blssell then practically admitted that an
urgent request had been made by the presi-
dent to allow the latter to name him for
the office.
SPECULATION ON THE EVENT.
Miss Francis FoIsom's relatives here ara
daily expecting additional letters from her
giving particulars of. her engagement to
President Cleveland, but so far the only
authoritative statement was contained in a
letter which Mrs. Townsend received, as
already stated. Miss Gregg, who is to be
one OF the bridesmaids, is believed by her
fellow bellies to have accurate information
about the wedding, and they are discussing
whether she will wear her graduation dress,
or get a new costume. 1t is being Whis-
pered around that the date will be about
Wednesday, June 16, but so far as known

down on the program as the best man.
is the only person here who positively
knows the date, and the information could
not be secured from him with a burglars
jimmy. he has been limiting mysteriously
TO his bachelor friends about something
that was going to happen, and they all
believe he means the presidents marriage.
Mr.. Blssel recently got measured for

girls about Miss Folsom's dresses is on the

dresses.
The minister who will perform the cere-
mony is said to be Buffalo man, and if so,
Rev. DR.. Brown of st. PauIs cathedral is
thought to be the lucky man, A letter
from Washington received by Col. N. i.
Mack says that if it were possible for the
president to get up to Buffalo without be-
ing discovered the wedding could be held

one thing that bothers the president, is to
get to Buffalo without being found out, and
the plan will be probably given up. A
council of war will be held at Louis Goetz's
to discuss the matter tomorrow night.
