He Reaches indianapolis In Bad Hunor
But Leaves in Happy Mood.

INDIANAPoLIs, February 20th-The visit of
Congressman VIM. w. Morrow of California,
who had a long conference with General Har-
rison to-day, has given new impetus to Cabi-
net speculation and representation. The Cal
ifornia Congressman said he came to protest at
California and the Pacific slope being left with
out representation in the Cabinet, as was cur
rently reported He would not admit that the
President elect had sent for him. In fact, he
intimated that he had not been sent for. but
came as the representative of the California and
Oregon delegation in Congress, and had notified
General Harrison by telegraph OF hisexpected
arrival. 1t was apparent from his conversation,
prior to his meeting the General, that he was
inclined TO feel indignant at the suggestion
| that the slope had been left out in the Cabinet
slate, as at present arranged.
| There is no doubt but he brought with him a
pocketful Of letters presents ana petitions from
the Pacific slope congressman and Senators.
| He spent the morning with General Harrison,
and was his guest at luncheon. After lunch
| the General took him out for walk, calling at
| the Capitol and viewing the city generally.
1 Later in the afternoon, when Morrow re. .urned
TO his hotel, after passing some five hours in the
| company OF the PreSident-elect, he was in an
| exees dinghy pleasant frame OF mind, in marked
| contrast with the disposition he manifested on
l first landing; hut he had been Theoretically
| sealed by some one, and to all inquiries and
| opportunities he would make no statements
| touching upon the Cabinet,
| To an Associated Press correspondent he said
he was not at liberty to talk of Cabinet
matters, and if he were. he hardly knew what
| he should say. He could not, therefore author.
| ize any statement as to the prospects of the
| Pacific Coast securing place IN the Cabinet
/ IL was significant, however. that the Congress
| man would not admit that his trip was a failure
\ or that no encouragement had been given him
l on behalf of the Slope. He did not think that
Californians would regard a Cabinet officer from
Colorado as representing their section, and left
| 8 very decided impression that General Harri-
/ son had given him some encouragement.
As corroboratiYe of this conclusion. Morrow
just prior to his departure from Washington
/ this evening, told gentleman who is interested
4 in California s prospects that the slope win be
/ all right. More than this cannot say now
This admission, under the circumstances is
] held to mean good deal by the few who are
| cogniZant of it, ano Pacific coast Cabinet stock
| has suddenly jumped to par the only question
| being as to The man who will be selected.
| While Morrow was outs oxen in declaring him
I self cut OF the question, in his Endorsement OF
leading names mentioned he is known to lean
| strongly to Estee.
| MoRRow's VISIT BREAKS THE SLATE.
INDIANAPOLIS, February 20th.-There is a gem
eral remodeling of Cabinet states since Nor
rows visit, and the Interior Department is being
awarded TO the Slope, with lstee as the proba-
bic winner. As a consequence, Mr. Noble
name is not regarded with that certainty that
surrounded it last evening. No cne has vet been
abe TO satisfy himself as to Governor Rusk' 5
selection, and in ylew of his geographical prox-
unity TO Window and Thomas, 1t is considered
exceedingly probable that the War Office may
be rendered to some Eastern man. and General
James Fl. Wilson of Delaware, is mentioned in
this connection. AS to the situation in New York
nothing reliable is known, and doubts are being
cast upon Warner Miller acceptance of the De-
partment of Agriculture
