WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-.An impression
prevails in some circles tonight that tho
Cabinet of the incoming Administration Is
complete, with the exception OF being
named, and no further change will DO
made in the slate os ut present arranged.
This is the makeup that receives most
credence:
Secretary OF State, James G, Blaine.
Secretary Of the Treasury, William VIM
dom.
Secretary Of War, Redheld Proctor.
Secretary OF the Navy, to be filled.
Secretary OF the Interior, John L. Swift.
Attornoy-General, John w. Noble.
Postmaster General, John Wanamaker.
Secretary Of Agriculture, jeremiah Rusk.
II is said tonight that Platt and Miller
are distinctly out OF the racc, and platt
men arc much annoyed.
New York may get Cabinet place, but
IL depends entirely upon the temper Of her
politicians. Gen. Harrison, after hearing
great deal about tho situation in the Em-
pire State, told Mr. Morton that II the Re-
publcans there, without regard 10 factions
or personal difficulties, could unite in rec
ommending some man for Cabinet place
lac would have generous consideration. II
such harmony can be brought about tho
man named will bo given the Navy port
folio.
Senator Palmer Ia not believed 10 be n
possibility any longer. In the iirst place
thero was no request for his appoint'lent
10y the Republicans OF Michigan, anu With
out such request Il 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 ~ Gen. Harrison is reported 10 have
said 10 the Nebraska mon that who're a
State had presented n candidate for Cabi-
net honors and It had been found inexpo-
dent TO put his name on the list, u was
hardly 10 be expected that man not so
presented and supported should be chosen.
This was taken 10 dispose Of the chances
OF Robert w. furnas, OF Nebraska, tor
| Secretary OF Agriculture, who had bcon
suggested when John NJ. Thurston's name
was rubbed off, and would equally well ap-
| ply to Gen. Algcr aud senator Palmer
The Wisconsin delegation aro sui con-
! iidont that Gov. Rusk will have q place.
hut II Is not 10 bo Secretary OF War; that
appears 20 be conceded 10 ox.GOy. Proctor.
aud the only other placo open 10 him IL
that Oi Secretary OF Agriculture.
This morning the delegations of Wiscon-
sin aud Illinois called In body upon Gen.
Harrison. Their vst Occasioned s0mo
gossip. ~ having been made with a view
10 Affect the Cabinet combination, but this
h denied by mombcfs. They say they
called only to pay their respects, and oven
II their purpose had been 10 talk Cabinet,
owing 10 the presence Of q number ol cut
sidcn they had no opportunity 10 do 90.
ln the course OF the conversation one of
the Illinois delegation, with view 10 ro-
ioving any apprehension the Prsidont-
elect may have been under, aud 10 demons
siralc the iniormaliiy OF the visit, re-
marked: General, | have nothing TO ask
ior." Then, with u glance into iutunty,
hc hastily added: THAT h, just now"
Gen. Harrison smilingly remarked: II
am thinking OF opening book In which
members and other interested members
may secure a release la advance"
"Wcll, General. said MIR. Cannon, ''all
! have got to say Is that very little book
will last clear through your administra-
ton. -

nicd him 10 this city, and whose namo
has been often mentioned ~ the coming
Attorney. General, is now talked OF for so-
citor.Gcncril. llo said thcrc was no
foundation for the story printed this
morning from Toledo that be had written
10 a friend there saying ho had accepted
the position oi Attorney General. AZ a
result of Congressman Bcldcn's dinner TO
the New Rork delegation last night, II ~
stated that they will support Gen. George
