INDIANAPOLIS, January 3-The chief
interest here to-dav centered in the vi Il
of Senator Hiscock, who arrived fl, n
Washington at 12:30 P. NJ, and drove
direct to the residence of the President
elect, arriving about l o'clock, just in
time to partake of the MONDAY meal.
Luncheon over, the General and his
guest repaired to the library where they
remained closeted together in earnest
conversation until quarter past 8, when
the Senator took his leave. No third
party was present during the long con-
ference, therefore no one will be able to
state positively what passed between
them, unless one or the other chooses to
divulge.
General Harrison talked freely of the
visit to an Associated Press correspond
ent this evening, but said nothing not
already known. He inquired inadvert-
emily whether the correspondent had sue
ceeded ia interviewing the Senator
Their efforts in this direction were zeal
ous enough, but had almost barren re-
suits, as the Senator, whose carriage
never left the door during his long con-
ference, drove rapidly to the depot !;
arrived there, he had to pass Gordon of
reporters who lay in wait. To their
numerous inquiries he simply said !:
Gentlemen, my visit was an uneventful
one, both politically and personally" !"
These are the words three of the cores
pondents who were present attributed to

guished gentleman was apparently
IN A DIsGRUNTLED STATE OF MIND.
Either real or assumed, when he boarded
the train for Cleveland. His apparent

when considered in connection with the
genial, complacent frame of mind 10
which the writer discovered General
Harrison only an hour or 30 later, is more
significant than the words attributed to
the big Senator. After a long days con-
ference with several distinguished public
men, it would seem but natural that Gen.
eral Harrison shonld show signs OF fatigue
and the absence of bis usual urhanity. But
on the contrary, he was without sign of
worry or dissatisfaction. A good many
of General Harrison's friends believe his
Cabinet is about finished, and if these
incidents are of any interestor value they

ANOTHER SENATORIAL PILGRIM.
In the person OF Preston B. Plumb, of
Kansas, who arrived this morning from
the West. His conference with General
Harrison lasted less than an hour, and
he left at 2 o'clock for Washington.
When interviewed, Senator Plumb said
he merely stopped over to have general
talk with the President-elect. He was
not pressing any name for Cabinet DO.
sition; Kansas had no candidate. He
was in favor of an extra session OF Con-
gress, and believed party and public ne
sessity would induce President Harrison
to call Congress together. He was in
favor of the vigorous and early investi.
cation of the colored vote in the South.
He thought Blaine would sit at the head
Of the new Cabinet.

however, and said among other things
that be had no doubt whatever that Gen-
eral Alger would comprise one of Presi-
dent Harrison's Cabinet. He was equally
positive in his opinion that Blaine would
be Secretary Of State.

publican candidate for Governor of that
State. Mr.. Hawkins went into the
Southern situation at considerable length
in talking with the President-elect, and
he is strenuously in favor of an extra
session Of Congress and the speedy
investigation of what he terms the
"outrages" perpetrated upon Republican
voters in Tennessee and other States at
the late election. He says the fraudulent
