Especial Correspondence to the Sentuel.l
WARRINGTON, d. c., February 25.
The Arlington Hotel will be the
headquarters of the President elect,
and Mr.; Julius La.sburgh, of this
city, has received carte blanche to
fit up the presidential apartments.
No expense will be sparel in the fur
nishing and decoration.
The Tippecanoe Veteran Club, No.
/, of Philadelphia, will be represented
by 100 old gentlemen who voted for
President Harrison No. l. They are
somewhat aggrieved because they can
| not parade on wheels, but the rule
prohibiting carriages other than those
of the presidential party is insisted
upon by the executive committee.
THE INCOMING CABINET.
The only gossip to-day concerning
the cabinet is that the Pacific slope
urges its claims for recognition, and
indicates that if that section should be
overlooked it will be bad for Mr.. Har
rison personally and the party politi-
cally. Mr.. w. II. Noble, of Missouri,
who is set down for place in the new
cabinet, has been styled an unknown
man. He certainly has no further re-
putation: but veteran member of the
bar here said this evening that if call
ed into the cabinet Mr.. Noble would
soon prove himself the equal of any
of his associates. He said, as life
long friend of Mr.. Noble, he knew it
was his modesty alone which had kept
him from having reputation from
one end of the country to the other.
| He said if Gen. Harrison called him
into his cabinet, it would be because
! of his own full knowledge and appre
citation of his merits. It is believed
that the cabinet will be made up as
| follows:
Secretary of State-James Gillespie
Blaine of Maine.
Secretary of the Treasury-William
Window, of Minnesota.
Secretary of War-Jere Rusk, of
Wisconsin.
Secretary of the Navy-John R.
Thomas, of Illinois.
Secretary of the Interior-John
Wilcox Noble, of Missouri.
Postmaster -General-John Wana-
maker, of Pennsylvania.
Attorney-G General William Henry
Harrison Miller, of Indiana.
Secretary of Agriculture Warner
Miller, of New York.
PRESIDENT AND MRS. CLEVELAND.
The statement which appeared in a
New York p, per that President Cleve-
land was suffering from nervous pros
tration caused by overwork may be
said, from authoritative sources, to be
without foundation. He is extremely
busy and has been obliged to deny
himself to callers, but his general
health is excellent. The President is
compelled to remain indoors nearly all
the time, and spends the greater por-
ton of the day and night at his desk.
1t is defnitively settled that the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland will, after
leaving Washington, reside at the Vic
toria Hotel, New York, until some
more permanent arrangement can be
effected
| SENATOR KENNA's RE ELECTION.
| The Senate democrats are much re.
lieved by the unexpected re election
of Senator Kenna, of West Virginia
Every one of Mr.. Kenna's colleagues
on the democratic side held that il
was perfectly proper for him TO abide
the result as the nominee of the party
caucus, even if it should result in the
election of a republican, for they
realized that it is not possible to main
tain party organizations if regular
party forms and methods are moi
adhered to. But it would have beer
a most serious blow to the democrat.
ginia Senator, and they are doubly
rejoiced at the favorable outcome
Mr.. Kenna is one of the best debaters
on the democratic side. His election
settles the political complexion o
the Senate for the next two years. Th'
republican majority will be two, as a
} present. Mr.. Salisbury, of Delaware
will go out on the fourth of Marcel
J leaving no regrets behind him. Attel
; being honored by seat in the Senat'
} for eighteen years he was not satisfied
but preferred to let republican rath
er than democrat succeed him. Blu
for this the Senate would, after Marcel
4, be tie, and in order for the repub
licans to have bare majority it woule
have beeen necessary for Vice Presi
dent Morton to remain in his seq
/ without intermission. A majority s.
, precarious as that would have beel
, no practical value.
