SECRETARY OF THE NAVY.

and had accepted Tue SecTeudfySnlp OF tne
navy, and that although lie bad not been
suggested by the New Workers here he was
acceptable to them. He was suggested by
Mr.. Blaine at his midnight conference with
Gen. Harrison last night. The report that
Mr.. Wanamaker is 10 be left out is denied
by Senator Quay and is believed by no.
body The following was telegraphed to-
night to Gen. Harrison's homo paper as the
makeup of the cabinet:
BLAINE. SECRETARY OF STATE
WINDOW. M......... SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
PROCTOR. SECRETARY OF WAR
TRACY see, .......... SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
MILLER Observation-Disclosures. ATTORNEY GENERAL
wANAMAKER. ........., POSTMASTER GENERAL
NOBLE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
PALMER. ......... SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
Nearly a Thousand telegrams, it is stated,
were received to-day from Michigan in
favor of Senator Palmer's appointment.
HIsCocK's CLAIM.
Senator Hiscock said this afternoon that
the fighting New Workers had decided to
quit that pastlme, and in accordance with
an understanding With Gen. Harrison the
Empire state would get the portfolio of
war. This, however, does not agree with
the general report that Judge Tracy is to be
Secretary of the Navy. If the war depart
ment should go to New York, it will neces-
state rearrangement of names already
regarded as fixtures, as that department
has been generally conceded to ex-Gov.
Redf1eld Proctor.
PROCTOR FEELS SAFE.
The latter gentleman evide Itly regards
his calling and election sure, for it is said
he has abandoned a contract he held for
baa fOt qDl1 IN,
the national cemeteries. Since Senator
ShermanS visit to Gen. Harrison last even
ing, rumor has been busy with
the names of Ohio men in connection
with cabinet position, that of Secretary
of Agriculture. There " ere two named
Bingham, not ex-Congressman John A.,
said to be a wealthy farmer, and Mr..
Ritchie. Diligent inquiry among Onio
men, however, failed to identify either of
them, and they soon dropped out of sight.
RUsK's FRIENDS GIVE UP.
The Wisconsin men have about given up
hope of seeing Gov. Rusk in the cabineG.
1t transpires that some Kansas people pre-
sented the name of Representative John L.
Anderson yesterday to Gen. Harrison for
Secretary of Agriculture. The general is
reported to have said to them that if posi-
practical farmer. OF course that
settled Mr.. Anderson, but his spon-
sors, thinking over the matter, con.
cluded that x-Representative Wilson of
Iowa, was the man Gen. Harrison desired
to find, and calling to their aid the Iowa
delegation, good sized boom was started
for MIR Wilson. The fitness of that gentle
man was conceded by all who knew him,
but that any impression was made in his
favor cannot be stated. He was very pop
ular among his associates in congress, aud
was known as "Tamar Jim Wilson"
PALMER STOCKS ADVANCE.
Palmer stock has advanced considerably
to-day. As a result of the suggestions for
home support sent out to Michigan papers
last night by their correspondents, the
President-elect received large number of
teLe rams to-day, urging the appointment
or Senator Palmer Among them was one
from the republican members Of the legs-
Iature. To an ex-senator, interested in the
matter, Gen. Harrison is reported to have
said: vi don't want any further evidence
as to the desire Of Michigan for Senator
Palmer's appointment. But l want a
farmer for the place"
well, Senator Palmer is just your man."
was tn response. He is president of the
Michigan state board of agriculture, presi-
dent OF the Percheron Horse-breeders' Asso-
cation and president Of the Short-horn Cat
tle-breeders' Association of the state. He's
farmer enough" Aud the ex-senator de-
parted satisfied in his own mind that his
friend was all right.
