Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-01-29
IT HAS ALL BEEN FIXED.
So They Say, But No One
 Knows How.
HARRISON AND ALLISON DID IT.

A Conference Which Lasted Tw.nty-four
 Hours, of Which No Man Save the Two
 Participants Has Any InllinY-Aliison
 Knows How to Keep Silence, Too.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29-Senator Allison .Ns gone back to Washington, after twenty tour hours spent in Gen. Harrisons house, from which he did not stir except to take short walk around the block.
 There is not n soul in Indianapolis who knows what has been the outcome of the long conclave There is not a soul either, who is not thoroughly at sea in speculation upon the to take up the reins of the treasury depart ment it has not been for lack of urging.
 Before his departure Gen. Harrison Laid upon him a double injunction, to utter no word regarding the matter, one way or the other, and to be guarded against saying any thing that could be construed in one way or another concerning it.
 Senator Allison went to the depot only . few minutes previous to the departure of his train. He was panopGed in silence and to all efforts to extract information from him touching the outcome of his visit was mute. His journey here, he said, was at Gen. Har- rison's request, and he did not feel at liberty to say anything about what had taken place during his stay.
 The rumor was mentioned to him that he had, during his incarceration at the. Harrison home, been slated in some quarters for secre- tary of state. He broke into . hearty laugh and said: "Well, that is good, very good"
 When asked if it might be stated upon his |, | AL treasury the senator answered quickly: "No sir; all have to say about my visit to Gen. Harrison is that it has been n very pleasant one"
 When he had gone through the gate and boarded his car a gentleman followed him and secured, upon the strength of introduc- tory recommendations, some more specific statements i'll relation to tho cabinet matterk In answer to the question how soon the com position of tine cabinet would be made known Senator Allison said he did not know, of course, but that, ill his belief, some very mo- mentous responses would come to Indianapolis within a weeks time.
 The very plain intimation that the cabinet protfers have been made tends to confirm all statements regarding the vast confidence Gen. Harrison puts in Senator Allison and the be- lief that the latter's long visit here was for tho purpose of counsel, not merely to give him an opportunity to say yes or no to another offer of the treasury portfolio. Taken alto gether, his speedy denial of the question re- garding the treasury, his amusement at the suggestion that he was to he secretary of state, bis admission that state questions like that of the Samoan trouble had been dis cussed, furnished material for the gossips out of which to frame q prophecy that Allison is to be secretary of state and not of the treasury.
 Ex-Governor Albert G. Porter says that he has received Information from a source in which he places implicit faith that Warner Miller is to be in the cabinet He refuses to give his authority, but says that it is unim. peachable. He believes that Mir. Miller will be secretary of the treasury.
