Doubtfnl of succcss--Gen. Harrison
Is the Only Man That Knows, and
IT Doesn't Bother Him Much.

WASHINGTON, March 2-There is the same
rush at Gen. Harrisoa's headquarters this
morning that there was yesterday. If the
presideat-e,ocs has made suggestions TO any
of the callers as to his cabinet, they are able
to keep their councils Rumors as to cabinet
decisions arc heard on every hand, but there
has been only one material change in the
various estimates in the last few hours, and
that is an impression that Wanamaker's
name will not be found ON the list.
Mr. Quay, after visit to the president
elect, told friend that there has never been
any intention of putting Wanamaker into
the navy department, and thaeif he is to go
into the cabinet he will probably be postnlas-
ter general.
Mr. George w. Childs has not yet aban-
doned Mr. Thomas, Of Illinois, whom he has
been supporting for the navy department.
But Mr.. Thomas himself appears to have
very little hope, and the members Of the
Illinois delegation have no expectation that
he will receive the place. Don Cameron is
also recommending Thomas Tor the navy de-
partment.
New York is still the uncertain element in
suggested. The two compromise candidates
who are receiving the nlcst consideration are
Whitelaw Reid and Cornelius n Bliss The
latter has arrived here and is believed to
have been the mysterious stranger who was
in conference 50 long with the president-elect
The friends of Senator Palmer, of Michigan,
now have no doubts that he is to be secretary
of agriculture He has told some of them
that he expects to remain. in Washington
after March 4, and members of his own fami-
" have intimatcd that he has accepted the
portfolio.
The supporters Of Gen. Rusk, of Wisconsin,
are very much discouraged. Their despon-
dency is in direct ratio to the confidence of
the friends of Senator Palmer For although
it was expected by Rusk's supporters that he
would receive the war department, recently
they have been endeavoring to content them
selves with the agricultural department
The president-elect has pretty plainly said
that he cannot consider Mr.. Golf, of West
Virginia, for the cabinet, as he regards the
situation in West Virginia of so much inn
portance that Mr.. Goff should remain there
Gen. Harrison might well be called the
coolest man in Washington He is much less
anxious about his cabinet than the candidates
for the places in it. He has found time even
to follow his usual custom of taking his daily
walk He has adopted the plan OF taking his
ssconstitutis ma, ? no matter what the weather
is, nor how great the pressure upon his time
BY adhering to this policy, he hopes to be
able to retain his good health. He is the first
of the presidents III recent years to do much
walking. Gen. Grant was the last president
who was much seen upon the streets, and the
last who was sufficiently fond of horse flesh
TO drive good horse single. Gen. Harrison
says to his friends that he does not intend to
permit anything to interfere with his habit
of walking. To which he ascribes in great de-
gree his uniform good health.
