The New York Press Says He Will Accept
tho State Portfolio.
NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-The Press prints
the following: The news comes to this
city i'll a semi-official way that Gen. Har-
rison has determined to invite Mr.. Blaine
to a seat in his cabinet, and that the
Maine statesman will accept. OF course
the state department is the n offered
him. The reason that has prompted the
prcsident-elect to this action, aside from
his regard for Mr.. Blaine's abilities and
experience is that all of his predecessors
have invariably rendered the state
portfolio to a recognized leader
in the party. Senator Sherman and
Mr.. Blaine are the only men who could
he placed in this rank. and Gen. Harri-
sen has chosen the latter. This can be
stated positively on the authority of a
gentleman who is closely associated
both Gen. Harrison and Mr.. Blaine.
The latest slate includes Evarts for a
foreign mission and Miller to go in the
senate if he will not be given a cabinet
position. If the leaders ear make ami
cable arrangement it is claimed that the
state will remain Republican for years to

WASHINGTON Nov. 15.-The chairman
OF the inauguration committee having
been selected and the chairman of the
finance committee having been named,
the next important position to fill is that
OF marshal. 1t is generally understood
that Gen. Schofield, the head of the
army, will be selected for this impor-
tant place. The prominence of his office.
his familiarity with handling large bod
les of men and the national character of
the inauguration have led to the belief
that he will be requested to act. In for
mer years the general of the army acted
as marshal of the parade. The selection
will he made by the executive commit
tee. and should Gen. Schotield's name be
decided upon the president will be re-
quested to designate him as the marshal.

argument in favor of the movement is
that the British minister was sacrificed

that the deliberate judgment of the

HERE'S SUPERSTITION FOR YOU.
A Washington Dispatch Which Outlines
President-Elect Harrisons First Oficial

Work.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-It is believed
that one of President-elect Harrison's
first recommendations will be for the adj
mission of South Dakota and Washing
ton, while it may be he will also include
North Dakota and Montana. In the re-
port he made to the senate while chair
man of the committee on territories of
the F%orty-ninth congress Gen. Harrison
favored the division of the territory, that
portion of the territory south Of the
forty-sixth parallel of latitude to be adj
mitted as the State of Dakota and that
portion north of the forty-siXth parallel
to be organized as Lincoln territory. He
defended the Sioux Falls convention
which favored the division of the terri
tory. His report made in January, 1886,
shows that the population of each divi-
sion OF that ground alone entitled it to
statehood. The population of South
Dakota was 1858 ,485, while that of North
Dakota was 15s, 1879. 1t is now estimated
that the total population of the two di-
visions is over 600, 900.

New YORK. Nov. 14-The Herald de-
votes an entire page to the expression of
opinion of prominent men upon the
question of extending the term of office
of the President of the United States to
six or eight years. 1t is claimed that the
s~hrinkage in the internal commerce and
business of the country during the past
four months, traceable to the apprehen-
sion, excitement and other conditions
dependent upon the presidential cam
paign amounts to not less than $500, O00,-
600, and The Herald argues that this and
other reasons advanced jpstifies the ex-
tension of the term of the presidential
office. Among others quoted as favor
ing an extension are Chauncey NJ. De-
pew and Sidney Dillon, both of whom
think six years as about the proper
length of time for which a president
should be elected.
