A Reaffirmation of the Report that He VIII
Not BE a Minister Of the New Cabinet.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Senator Allison is
somewhat annoyed at publications in GER
tain papers which represent aim as having
been coquetting with General Harrison, as
having been hot and cold at times in regard
to the Cabinet, and with having refused to
accept the Treasury portfolio because he
could not secure certain pledges from the
President-elect and from the Governor OF
Iowa concerning the successorship in the
Senate. All such reports do him great in
justice. All persons to whom Senator Alli-
son has given his confidence are aware that
from the first he has resisted the attempts
to make Cabinet minister out of him, and
he has been sincere. 1 am now at
liberty to relate little incident that oc-
CURED about the 1st of December. In my
gathering discovered an attempt on
the part of certain persons to disparage Sen
ator Allison in the opinion of the President
elect, a sort of conspiracy to create mis-
understanding between him and General
Harrison, and told the Senator about it.
He thanked me for the information, and
then said if these people knew how earnest
he was in his desires not to go into the Cab

Senator Allison says he did not at any
time give General Harrison reason to
believe that he had accepted a
place in the Cabinet. or would
do so, but, on the contrary,
told him repeatedly that he could not, and
he went to Indianapolis at the request of
General Harrison, who asked him to delay
his final answer until they could talk over
the matter face to face. Their interview
did not change the situation in any par
tlcular but General Harrison still asked
Mr. Allison to take little more time for
reflection, and he did so, but could not
change his mind. General Harrison under

A Grave Crisis at Hand.

WHEELING. w. Va, Feb. A late spe-
cial from Cb barleston, from editor Hart, of
the InteDigencer, who Is there, says TO-
days proceedings in the Legisla-
ture were Of the most revolu-
tionary character and have settled the
governor ship contest. 1t now remains for
General Golf to say whether he will submit
to the high-handed proceedings or insist
upcn his rights and precipitate turmoil.
The scheme now is to throw out Kanawaha
county on a techicality, give Flem-
ing a majority on the face of the re-
tuJns. and throw out three Republican
members of the Legislature from that
County. Great indignation and excitement
exists among Republicans and decent
Democrats at Charleston at these sensa-
tional disclosures.
Mr.. Hart sends to his paper a dispatch
which viii doubtless create sensation
throughout the State. General Goff left for
Washington tonight, and will within the
next few days decide on his future course.
The situation is very grave, and serious
crisis seems at hand.

regard to the appointments, has reached the
positive legislative phase. For a time the
Legislature was content to pass measures

time, and to-day joint resolution was in
