 WASHINGTON, Feb. l3. - Senator Stock bridge received n letter from Gen Alger. Mir. McMilan, who Is electeI to the United Stait~ senate to succeed Mir. Palmer, had returned tu Detroit from Indianapolis before this letter WAS written Gen. Al,er states to Senator Stockbridge that he does not expect to go into President Harrison's cabinet; that he has not solicited tue position. and does not know that Gen Harrison has seriously con- sidered his name at any time.
 This information has created great surprise among the Michigan Republicans in Wash ingtou, as they fully expected to see their Iecent candidate for the presidential nolnina- tion at the head of the war department under the incoming administration. They have now given up all expectations in that direction.
 Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin. expects to mako his third trip to Indianapolis this week ill tho interest of ex-Governor Rusk, of Wis. consin for place in the cabinet
 A correspondent asked Representative Mo Kinley, of Ohio, who he thought would be the uext secretary of tine treasury, and he re- piled: "Ex-Gavernor Foster. of Ohio. really believe that the position will settle down upon him after all He is eminently fitted for the place, and his appointment would please the country ar large well inc state in which he lives"
 While ex-Senator Platt was ip the city he told a friend that he thought New York would be passed over II. the makeup of the cabinet
 It is understood, however, that while herr. PIatt acted the part of mediator and paved the way for New to sit comfortably in the cabinet with Blaine by conveying to the Maine statesman the friendest expressions or good will from New.
 The readiness with which Mir Blaine re- ceived these overtures of friendship made Platt's mind easy, and he returned bearing messages of amity and concord.
 Jhe hurried departure of Miller for New York to meet John C. New, and the fact that New has also had interviews with Platt, FL kins and other influential Republicans, seems to indicate that he was commissioned by tho president-elect to convey to them definite propositions for the settlement of the differ ence between the rival factions. That is the way it looks to the politicians here, and they venture the opinion that News mission will be successful
