THE ICE CROP.
Kennebeckers Expect a Fair Amount
Operations Elsewhere.

AUGUSTA, Feb. 9-Kennebec operators are
looking for fair crop Of ice. The Ice is
making slowly. In its present condition the
ice fields of the river run from eight to ten
inches in thickness. Cold weather will
probably thicken it to IL or II inches. There
is so much sap ice" that it requires a good
deal Of planning. The ice is generally of fair
quality. The weather is moderate. and the
thermometer shows considerable fuctuation,
not often getting below 10 above, and fire.
quently registering above the freezing point.
The kennebec operators will need good
many men, between 5000 and 5000, and some
1900 horses. The wages paid men run from
$1.50 to $3.50 per day.
Boston, Feb. 9.-The Boston Ice Comma
ny has sent large number of their men to
Alton Bay to cut ice for Bost0n's daily use.
The ice on the lake there is about IA inches,
and OF excellent quality. They expect to
harvest about 10000 tons there, which will
be shipped direct TO Boston. The Ice on the
lake at Wakefield, on Friday, was about
eight inches, and the company will not begin
cutting II unless 1t attains II inches in thick
ness, when they will endeavor to harvest
There are still two large stretches OF open
water In Wenham Lake, one around the
pumping cOnduits of the Salem and Beverly
water works, and the other across the centre
OF the lake. The coves are frozen, aud con-
tain some good ice Of five to six inches thick
The Ice varies from that to an inch In thick
ness, near the centre of the pond. On the
Mill Pond, In Danvers, the ice Is nine inches
thick; 1t Is expected that preparations will
soon be made to groove 1t for cutting. Mr..
y. L Putnam Is holding off for 10 inches be-
fore he begins to harvest.

THE CABINET MAKERS LATEST EFFORTS
Opposition to the Selection OF az
Secretary Window.
Miller stock a FayorIte In the home
OF the President.
Gen. AIger Says Ne Is Not to Nave
Foreign Position.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 9.-There Is a lull In
Cabinet speculation, and the situation re-
garding Its probable makeup remains un-
changed. There Is no longer doubt about
Mr.. Blaine's acceptance OF the State porto
Ito. His acceptance, however, Is said 70 be
OF quite recent date. Opposition to ex-Seere-
tary Windows possible or probable selec-
tion for the Treasury portfolio Is developing
here to some extent. Col John @. New Is
regarded by a number Of local politicians as
having fair prospect OF being offered the
treasury portfolio. On the other hand, some
assert that Col. News name Is not under
consideration for the Treasury, and that he
Is booked for the Austrian mission.
III Is stated here today, on information
from Washington, that John Wanamaker
has not bought house there after an. and
Manamaker was not going IN, regard this
men, however, count Wanamaker as a eer-
tainty along with Blaine. Indications here
are still In favor OF Miller, and against Platt
as New HOrk's representative, with the
Evarts for Attorney General compromise
still In the air, pending the receipt Of def
mite Information now being gathered By Rus
sell Harrison and John Q. New, as 10 what
the New York leaders think about it. The
story that Miller has been offered his choice
between the Department Of Agriculture and
the Navy Department Is believed here IL Is
considered nearly certain that either Penn
sylvania or New York Is to get the navy.
The West Virginia situation Is being
closely watched, as there Is an idea that up
on its issue depends the decision whether
Nathan Goff or Gen. j. II. Wilson shall be
Secretary Of War and cabinet representa-
tive OF the Border State.
The Interior Department Is being general
ly assigned To the Pacific cOast and n swift
although Estee's friends are making the
most noise. There Is no prospect that the
Cabinet will be completed until within a
few days Of March 4th.
This afternoon over 100 members Of the
Gen. Harrison and gave him costly and ele-
CANT Bible, purchased by the club some time
ago.

Only a Technical Shortage.

BosToN, Feb. 9.-The report published in
the evening papers that Postmaster E. l..
Garcelon Of Winchester. Mass, was short in
his accounts and that his bondsmen would
be called on to make good the deficiency, is
not borne out by the facts. One of the post
Office inspectors visited the Office in his off,
cial capacity last Monday, and found every
thing correct until the cash balance was re-
quested, which was found to consist partially
Of local checks, received as accommodation
from sc me of the townspeople, but which
are not accepted by the department. As soon
as the banks were opened ON Tuesday morn
ing. the checks were cashed and forwarded,
but In the meantime, the inspectors report
had been made that he found the Office short
the amount Of the checks. As soon as Post
master Garcelon found that this report had
been forwarded, and knowing that change
Of administration was soon 10 take place, he
sent In his resignation, which he now, under
the present circumstances, regrets. The
Office is still In charge of Mr.. Garcelon, and
his accounts are correct.

MORTON AT LAW.
A German Steamship Company Re-
sIsts His Decision.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Under an arrange
ment entered into between the Attorney
General and the North German Lloyd Steam
ship Company, an amicable suit is to lbe en-
tered in the United States Court very short
ly to test the extent of the powers Of the
Commissioner of Navigation under the act
creating the Office. The present commits
sioner, Mr.. Morton of Maine, holds that the
ships of the line referred to are not entitled
to free entry under the Presidents procla-
nation granting freedom from tonnage dues

tnat the TACT that they stop at Southampton
for passengers should not bar them from
benefits under the Dingley act, and they pro-

Attorney General Garland and his repre-
sentative in the treasury department, Judge
Morton does not like this, and at recent
meeting at the office Of the solicitor of the
treasury undertook to assert that the depart
ment had no power over his decisions, and
that no officer of the government had any
right to advise suit to test the rights which
ne claims are inherent in the office, because
OF the wording of the creative act.
There vas very lively scene for some
time, and Judge Carry read the riot act to
the commissioner. he declined to recede
from his position one iota, and insisted that
the department of justice was doing only its
duty In attempting to get a competent con-
struction of the meaning Of the act, which
has created trouble for the customs and ju-
dicial officers of the government ever since it
was enacted. The solicitors office seems to
have won in the discussion, for the suit was
agreed upon. and the case is expected to be
carried to the United States Supreme Court
eventually, in order that the exact powers of
the Commissioner of Navigation may be de-
