| department.. He has accepted. Noble has

tween the Navy and the Attorney Generalship.

| New York is left out, Miller, of Indiana, is
/ booked for Attorney General and Noble for the
! Navy. If Clarkson has not already been selected

THE LATEST SLATE.
So the cabinet now stands:
State, Blaine.
Treasury, Window.
War, Proctor
Navy, Noble.
Post-Oflice, Wanamaker.
Agriculture, Palmer.
Interior, GARRISON.
Noble is subject to a shift for New York, and
GARRISON Is not known as vet to be absolutely
certain. The rest are settled.
NEW YORK STRUGGLES TO AGREE
The New York men will make their final
effort tonight. Most of them are now ready
to give il up, after talking over c. N. Bliss,
Judge Daniels, General Butterfeld, Elihu
Root and others. Some of the leaders think
they have q scheme. They hope to agree upon
William Ii. Seward, son of the late secretary:
or if not upon him, upon some darker horse,'
for AttorneyGeneral Tonight will show
whether or not they are to agree Harrison
will not yield to them if they do not.
THE GARRISON CASE
is interesting. He and Plat were the men Mr..
Quay most wanted in the cabinet Wanamaker's
selection was not so much personal to him. The
other two are his personal friends. Plat is now
out Of the question, and Quay is insisting upon
GARRISON with an earnestneSs of purpose that
promises success. He had long talk with Gen.
Harrison last evening, insisting upon this selec-
ton. He makes IL personal matter.
Charles Beardsley, chairman of the republi-
can state committee of Iowa, called on Gen.
Harrison and had talk with him this morn
ing.
The California folks are still pressing Swift,
and they understand that Clarkson is alone in
their way.
DAY OF GREAT PERPLEXITY.
The past twenty-four hours has been proba-
bly, the most perplexing period of General
Harrison's life. He has stood firmly against the
siege of the swarm of New Workers who still
buzz and grumble about the hotel lobby. He
told them what he would and what he would
not do. That ended it with him, and he has
had to listen TO arguments-and grumbing. At
midnight he was walking the streets to shake
of the recollectons of the day; but then he was
probably not free from cabinet talk, for Editor
Murat Halstead was with him. 1t is well under
stood now that Ohio is not to get cabinet
place, but Mr.. Halstead is expected to go
abroad.
After the struggle last NIGHT the New York
men hung about the lobby this morning in a
languid. disheartened sort of way, trying to get
their breath for the last trial tonight. Some
OF them did not get down to breakfast until
nearly l o'clock. Belden, Raines, and Fassett
had conference, but they did not find the
path to lead them out of the Wilderness
GOV. FORAKER
appeared on the scene to-day, and called on
n
Their visit was not long one, and there was
no evidence of a clearing up of the cabinet
difficulties consequent upon the governors
arrival. After seeing Gen. Harrison he went
off to have talk with Col. Fassett.
NOT so MANY CALLERS.
There wer, not as many callers to-day as YES
terday, as further importantly as to the cabinet
is discouraged by the fact that there is so little
left to be filed. The Michigan delegation
called and we're introduced by MIR.
ODonneli. Their only business was TO
pay respects and probably to whisper
some word of approval of the selection
Of Senator Palmer for the Agricultural depart
meut. Governor Pound, of Wisconsin. Sena-
tors Blair, Chandler and George, Representa-
tive Bayne, and Judge Emory Speer, OF Georgia,
were among the morning callers.
WALKER BLAINE ON CLUTCHES,
because of his injured leg, was in the Arlington
lobby this morning in earnest conversation
with group of politicians, some of whom pre-
sented Inducements and petitions for his con-
sderation. GARRISON, Noble and Warner
Miller are expected here to-day. Miller will
stop at the Arlington.
Senator Stockbridge is reported to have
Joined hands with the friends of Gov. Rusk to
secure the latter's appointment. Friends of
Gov. Rusk are still sanguine that he will be
given place in the cabinet although not quite
so positive they were last night.
X. w. Furnas, of Nebraska, is the latest man
mentioned i'll connection with the secretaryship
of the Agricultural department.
Stephen B. Eikins and Col. Fassett were at
work this afternoon trying to get the knots out
of the New York tangle.
MR.. THOMAS C. PLATr
has Cancelled his engagement of rooms at the
Arlington, and will not be here
at all during the Inauguration. These
rooms were engaged two months ago, and he
was expected to arrive here to-day. After mat
tiers took the turn they did yesterday, he de-
cided not to come.
GEN. HARRIsoy's CONSTITUTIONAL.
After a short walk with Mrs. Lord before l
o'clock. General Harrison returned for lunch,
and then went out again immediately He
! lighted his cigar and walked off alone and at
ESQ had not yet returned.
vIcE-PREsIDENT-ELEoT AND MRS. MORTON

yesterday. In the morning Mr.. Morton called,
with the children. on Gen. Harrison's family.
During the day Mr.. and Mrs. Morton took a

ton at Mrs. Jos. Hobson's.
