Mr., and Mrs, S. B, Elkins and Repre-.

Hon. Daniel Medham, OF Massachusetts |;
Representative Van Voorhees,, Repre-

There was n slight lull in the calling at
l o'clock, and the President.eleCt i'm
proved the opportunity by going out for
walk in the northern section OF the
city. He went alone and did not leave
word where he had gone. He returned,
however, In time 10 eat his lunch and
meet some engagements he had made to
receive certain callers at 2:30 o'clock. It
was announced this morning TINT Mrs.
Harrison would receive all who desired
TO pay their respects this afternoon be-
tween 2;SO and 4 o'clock.
CABINET TALK.
An impression prevails In some cir.
cIes tonight that the cabinet of tho In
coming administration is complete, with
the exception to be named, and that no
further change will be made in the slate
as at present arranged. This is the
makeup that receives the most cre-
dence:
Secretary OF statC-James G. Blaine.
Secretary OF Treasury-William Win
dom.
Secretary of War-Redfleld Proctor.
Secretary OF Navy-To be filled.
Secretary OF Interior-John T. Swift.
Attorney General-John w. Noble.
Postmaster General-John Wana.
maker.
Secretary of Agriculture-Jeremiah
Rusk.
1t is said tonight that Platt and Miller
are distinctly out Of the race, and the
Platt men are much annoyed. New
York may get Cabinet place, but 1t de-
pends entirely upon the temper Of her
politicians.
General Harrison, after hearing great
deal about the situation in the Empire
State, told Mr.. Morton that II the Repub.
licans there without regard to factions
or personal difficulties could unite In
recommending some man for q Cabinet
place he would have generous consider.
alton. II such harmony can be brought
about the man named will be given the
Navy portfolio.
Senator Palmer is not believed 10 be a
possibility any longer, In the first place
there was no request for his appoint
ment by the Republicans Of Michigan,
and without such request, 1t Is hardly
probable that with the great pressure for
place, man without his State backing
would be chosen, except on personal
grounds. In the next place, as General
Harrison Is reported TO have said TO the
Nebraska men that where n State had
presented candidate for Cabinet hon.
ors, and It had been found inexpedient
10 put his name on the list, II was hardly
TO be expected that man not so pre-.
sented and supported should be chosen.
This was taken to dispose OF the chances
OF Robert W. Furnas, OF Nebraska, for
Secretary OF Agriculture, who had been
suggested when John W. Thurstons
name was rubbed of, and would equally
well apply to General Alger and Senator
Palmer.
RUsK's CHANCES.
The Wisconsin delegation are still
confident that Governor Rusk will have
a place; but 1t is not be Secretary Of
War,whiCh appears TO beConCeded TO ex.
Governor Proctor, and the only other
place open to him Is that Of Secretary Of
Agriculture. This morning the delega.
tiOns OF Wisconsin and Illinois called In
body upon General Harrison. Their
visit occasioned some gossip, as having
been made with view 10 affect the
cabinet combination but this Is doubted
by numbers.
W, II. II. Miller, law partner OF the
Presldent.eleCt, Is now talked OF for So
licitor General. He said there was no
foundation for the story printed this
morning from Toledo that he had writ.
ten to a friend there saying he had &C.
copied the position Of Attorney General,
