ALLISON AND CLARkSON.
An Agreement Probably Reached Between
Them and Harrison.


INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-The sudden de-
parture of Hor. j. S. Clarkson, of Iowa,
tor Washington yesterday attracted some
notice here. A gentleman we'll acquainted
with CIarkson and with the political
situation gives the following as an ex-
pianatiou of Clarkson's trip east: He
says: 1T has been settled tor
several weeks that either CIarkson
or Senator Allison should go in
TO the cabinet. Senator Allison was
offered the treasury portfolio wheu
he was here five weeks ago, but he pro-
tested he preferred remaining in the
thesenate. The, he,,president-elect, however,
urged that Allison should take the
matter under consideration and hold
himself in readiness to take the treasury
in case he president elect) finally in
sisted upon it. Allison taoitly agreed
to this, the understanding being
that if the president should
finslly see his way to permit
Allison TO remain in the senate, then ne
would oheerfully invite Clsrkson to a
seat.
Now" continued the informant, Il
believe matters have reached that point
where decision has been reached be
tween Allison and the president elect,
and Clarkson goes on to consult with
Allison. The gentleman closed by pre-
dieting that within short time it would
appear that Allison was preparing to as
sumo the treasury. 1t is learned
today that numerous petitions and rec
concentrations have been forwarded from
the Pacific coast to the presesi6 ent elect
urging the appointment of Judge Estee
to cabinet position.
