ALL WILL BE NEW WORKERS.
Carlisle, Perhaps Fairchild
and Dan Lamont.

From the New York Sun, To-day.
OF the fifteen hundred Thousand New York
ers perhaps 10 per cent have seen Grover
Cleveland. Gen. Arthur as a New Yorker was
familiar figure, but after he became Presi-
dent there was just as much curiosity to see
him as if he had come out of the west. The
announcement that Mr.. Cleveland will on
March come to New York and associate him
self with the law firm of Bangs, Stetson, Tracy
4 MacVeagh, created good deal of interest
yesterday. Gen. Arthur, after his term, asso-
ciated himself with his old firm, Knevals d
Ransom, and was valued for his great knowl-
edge Of riparian rights. Roscoe Conkling
made a fortune as a jury pleader. and there
was considerable interest to learn Mr.. Cleve-
lands specially. Mr.. Francis Lynde Stetson
said that he didn't know of any except that Mr.
Cleveland was endowed with great chunks of
sense. Mr.. Cleveland will take ex-Attorney-
General MacVeaghs place in the firm. 1t has
been said that Mr.. Cleveland will not try
causes in court. Mr.. Stetson said that Mr..
Cleveland will do anything any other LAWYER
does, and will go to court if the business OF the
firm and his inclination take him there.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland will live temporarily
at the Victoria hotel. Mr.. Cleveland is a per-
sonal friend of the proprietor, and will remain
at the hotel until he has bought house. "A
singular feature of Mr.. Cleveland's new loca-
ton will be that he can look out of his Office
windows at As William street right into the
windows of the mugwump factory run by VIM
Nj. WINS and others in the last campaign
against Gov. HILL
Mr.. Cleveland will not be the only one directly
connected with his administration who will
take up permanent residence in New York.
Secretary Fairchild was in town yesterday put
ting the finishing touches to his business ar
rangements. He has bought house in WASH
ington square. and will become president of a
trust company, with &. c. Baldwin, formerly
president of the Louisville and Nashville Rail
road company, and others as directors The
name of the new trust company is not yet given
ont.
Col. Dan Lamont will become president of a
New York street railroad company if his pres
ent intentions are carried out. Negotiations
with Secretary William &. Whitney are also
under way in the interest of Col Lamont It
was stated that Mr.. Whitney will further the
interests of the Broadway and Seventh Avenue
Railroad company IN plan to extend the
tracks of the company on through the suburbs
and by rapid transit plan over the Harlem
into Westchester county and beyond.
In addition to all these it is said that Speaker
Carlisle will shortly practice law in New York
He will either open an Office or become asso-
ciated with firm somewhat after the fashion
OF MIR. Cleveland. Not that Mr. Carlisle is to
cut loose from politics. or at least until his
term expires, but he has become impressed
with the advantages OF New York, and will, it
is stated, make start here preparatory to the
time when he can become a permanent resi-
dent of the metropolis.
TALK WITH MR.. MAcvEAGH.
From the New York Times.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4. - Ex-Attorney- Gen.
eral MacVeagh, who has been acting since the
death of Francis N. Bangs as counsel for the
firm of Bangs, Stetson. Tracy & MacVeagh.
which President Cleveland joins on the 9TH of
March, was interviewed to-day on the subject.
He said that as soon as the election was over
the President had made known his purpose to
return to the bar and to settle in New York,
and he therefore very naturally turned to Mr..
Stetsons firm, in view of the friendship which
existed between MIR. Stetson and himself. Mr..
MacVeagh added that his own relation to the
firm, owing to his residence in Philadelphia,
was OF course only to continue until some more
satisfactory arrangement could be made. He
evidently thought the action of the President
was very wise and to be commended in every
respect.
