mARRIsON's CABINET.
Senator Allison viii Probably Preside
Over the Treasury.

pSer tne Ireasury'
WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-Mr. Allison is
the latest emphatic candidate for place
in Mr.. Harrison's cabinet according TO ru.
NOR. 1t is known that when Iowa with.
drew Allison from the republican national
convention. ii was at his desire that her
vote was cast solidly for Harrison. and did
much to hasten the changes that brough
about that nomination. Senator Allison,
with Aldrich as lieutenant, has had
much to do the past few years with the
finances Of the country. He has been
chairman OF the committee on appropria-
tions and In the many absences of Senator
committee on finance. He has had much
to do with framing the senate tariff
bill, and 1t is said that in the mat
ter he received much advice from
General Harrison, and that he has
shaped the finance committees policy IN a
way to meet General Harrison's views.
For these and many more reasons it Is be-
lieved that Senator Allison will take the
treasury portfolio. Should he do so it
seems settled that David b. Henderson
will be the next Uuited States senator from
Ohio who has just returned here after his
reelection, says that Senator Sherman
does not desire cabinet position, but the
statement is still made that Sherman is
most likely to have the state department,
Allison in the treasury, Miller in the inte.
rior, Alger in the war, Frye or Hale 10 the
navy, Wannamaker in the postoffice, and
Judge T. +. Little, of North Carolina. or
Judge w. o. Bradley, of Kentucky as at
torney general if the South Is to get
cabinet Office. This is upon the theory
that Blaine is to 90 into the senate. It is
stated that Z. l. Meath, the well known
Washington correspondent of the Indian
apolis Journal and Omaha Bee, and the
author of several works of travel, will be
Harrison's private secretary. William
Walter Phelps is mentioned for mission
TO France, Murat Hastead for Germany.
and Whitelaw Reid to succeed Phelps at
The Court OF st. James.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1,4-General Har-
rison put in the day hard at work trying
to reduce his accumulated correspondence.
and keeping two stenographers busy all
the time. There is buS slight falling off
in the volume of letters. The official re-
turns are slowly coming in. Hundreds of

mated that about 5000, 900 changed hands
in indianapolis. and one of the best posted

ly in the campaign, says that not less than
81 10000 was waeered on the result in

THE NEXT HOUSE.
1t VIII Stand 40 Republicans and 1o5
Democrats.

Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Revised esti-
mates of the calculations, granting the
democrats one each in Florida. Kentucky,
Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and
West Virginia, places the republican ma.
jority in the next house Mt fifteen, the
house standing: Republicans, ITO; the
democrats l55. Regarding the officers of
the next house there is much speculation.
Reed has been spoken of for speaker, but
Mckinley is already being urged for the
position, and will probably get it il fight
il made for him. Reed is An excellent
leader on the floor, but he is arbitrary In
his methods and has made many enemies
among republicans who are reelected. He
ia said to have little knowledge of parlia-
mentary law, and these objections and Nc
Kinley's unqualified popularity will easily
defeat Reed for the speakership. Regard
ing the cerkship, it seems settled that Ed.
ward Mcpherson will probably be elected.
He has done such good work for the elec-
ton of republican congress that he will
probably be elected without opposition. 1t
is yet too early to speculate on the minor
offices. The complimentary vote of the
fftieth congress was given to Reed for
speaker, Mcpherson for clerk, Shepard for
sergeapt.at-arms and Fitch for doorkeeper.

A LIGHT LOG CROP.
small Loggers without tho Necessary
CapLtai--Prlces q Little stronger.

Cspitai--Prices n Little stronger.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 14.--From the
most reliable information now at hand it
seems certain that the log crop for the
coming season will be considerably less
than it was last year--possibly 20 per cent
less. The smaller loRgers have retired
from the field altogethea this season, some
permanently and some only temporarily.
Many of them have not yet realized from
their cut of last year, as they are sold on
the boom scale. They have no capital
wherewith to 20 into the woods. and num-
bers have no available stumpage. This is
quite an item in considering the log crop
on the Mississippi as heretofore the aggre-
gate of the logs cut by these smaller con-
Germs, each cutting from l,000,00 to
5000, 900 feet, has been very appreciable
in the ma-ket. Besides this there is a
noticeable scaling down among the larger
operations. As many as half dozen are
now intending to reduce their cuts from
1000, 900 to 10000. 900 below what they
had last year. At present logs to be cut
are selling ut prices slightly stronger than
at this time last year.

LIFE INSURANCE DECISION.
The Court Decides That the widow II
Entitled to the Premiums.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l4.-The supreme
court. through Chief Justice Fuller, has
rendered an opinion of unusual! interest to
holders of life insurance policies. Thomas
l.. Hume, OF the District of Columbia, died
in 1881, totally insolvent, but having $685.
600 in life insurance policies. which were,
by their terms. payable either to the widow
or children of the deceased. The admin.
istratOrs aud creditors sought to force an
application of the proceeds of the policies
to the payment OF debts due the
creditors on the ground that the premiums
paid bv Hume were by fraudulent trans
fer Of insolvent estates. The supreme
court hela that the bene6ciaries are en-.
titled to the proceeds of all policies with.
out any deduction OF the account, the said
premium holding that the husband and
father has full right to insure his life in
the interest Of his wife and children and
where such policies are effected in the
name of bene6ciaries thev are no part of
the estate of the deceased and therefore
cannot be regarded as a fraudulent assign
ment of any part when 80 affected.

scandal has developed some interesting
testimony. Frank Thompson, a brick

ried so by sub-contractors that IL was i'm
possible for the work TO be good. A con-
spiracy was thoroughly organized and it's

always knew when the inspectors
were coming and it was easy for them to
deceive the inspectors. A great deal OF

One. morning an inspector examined SOME
work done at night, and discovered a hole
big enough to drive a government wagon

up. Civil Engineer Carvell condemned
the whole work and declared the tunnel
