 BALTIMORE, Feb. 13.-The American pub fishes an interview with Col Julian Allen, of Statesville, N. C., in which he reflects Mir James G. Blaine's feelings towards the south. Col Allen was here in the interest of south ern exposition which will be held next fall in some northern city He is one of Il commit tee appointed at a convention held at Mont gomery, Ala, Dec. l. to select city in which the exposition is to be held Col. Allen says he called upon Mr Blaine in Washington the other day. He explained to MT. Blaine the exposition project, and MT. Blaine imnedi- ately expressed in the most cordial way his interest in it and his willingness to do any thing in his power to help it. He expressed his deep interest i'll the development of the south, and his earnest hope of the settlement of the race problem in way that will mure to the best interest of the whole people. The south, he said, would have to work out tho ~oAuIioh oI tiie THUG piopHIl TOT ilSei
 In the selection of Federal officials for tl,a southern states Mir. Blaine led Col. Allen te think that he favored the appointment of conservative Republicans men who had laid aside the hatred and bitternass of war times and who were aiming at the development of the country and the happiness and welfare of the people.
 Mir. Blaine also spoke with freedom about his acceptauce of fhe poStion of Secreta ry of state in Harrisons cabinet, and said that President Harrison rendered him the position few days after the election, and did it in such cordial way that he at once accepted 1t in the same spirit
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 13.-A Cincinnati party of no particular significance called here to see the president-elect on behalf of a gentleman who wants one of the offices in that city. During the conversation with him, however, it is said that Gen. Harrison let fall a remark that points to forthcoming influence The general told his visitors, it is reported, that Senator Sherman would have something to say in regard to appointments to be made in Ohio. If this is true it removes Foraker from any cabinet place, suggests the strengthening of the Foster and Sherman influence in that state with the incoming administration.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Gen. Alger will not be a member of the cabinet of President Harrison. That is one of the two things set tied in the minds of those who are intimate with Gen. Harrison and his advisers The other thing which they believe to be settiel Is that MT. Blaine will be secretary of state Now that it is practically settled that Gen. Alger will not be secretary of War, the friends of Governor Rusk of Wisconsin are making a decided effort to promote his chances. Senator Spooner expects to go to Indianapolis this week to urge the appoint ment of Governor Rusk. He saw Gen. Har rison not long after the election, and put the matter before him then in as strong a light possible. He will renew his efforts now, and he thinks he has reason to believe that they will be more effective than they were two months ago.
 A Republican senator, who is close to every one of the men who have been consulted in regard to the next cabinet, said: Gen Alger is entirely out What he did and what was said of him at the Chicago convention would be enough to spoil his chances of going into the cabinet. Sherman's remarks could be quoted against him and the criticism of a dozen Republican leaders, so that his appoint ment would prove unsatisfactory. l do not believe either Mir. Platt or Mir Miller ex- pected to go into the cabinet I think MT Miller will not accept the office of secretary of agriculture"
 NEW YORK, Feb 13.-John c. New left this city for Indianapolis to-day. It will be his own fault if he does not go back to Gen. Harrison with a very broad and comprehen. sive knowledge of the political situation in New York. During his stay here he has talked with most of the Republican leaders both big and little. Yesterday he lunched with Chauncey Nj. Depew.
 There Is some anxiety manifested by the politicians as to what Col. New will report to the president-elect, for, notwithstanding his repeated declarations that he was here only on private business alto gether foreign to politics, it is gener. ally believed that this is not strictly true It Is known that Gen. Harrison has not fully made up his mind as to the man or place New York shall have in the cabinet Col. New is a thorough politician, and it would be practi- cally impossible for him to spend any time here without interesting himself in the battle that is raging in this state and forming some opinion as to the merits of the respective con- testants For this reason the friends of Platt and Miller both agree that even if Col News visit to the Empire state at this time was really on private business, it will have some political significance. His close relations to Gen. Harrison will naturally lead him to inn part any information he may have gleaned as to the best way to solve the New York puzzle.
 Col. New is an old personal friend of MT. Platt, and the latter's friends assume that any coloring he may give to his report to Gen. Harrison will be in favor of the Tioga county statesman.
 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 13.-Negroes in this part of Alabama are signing memorial to Gen Harrison urging him to give recogni. ton to the colored voters by appointing to the cabinet Joe w. Braxdale. Braxdale is one of the most prominent colored politicians in the state. He lives at Talladega, is a bar Der by profession, and was slave during the first fifteen years of his life. The white peo- pie of the state are urging ex-Governor Smith as the cabinet man from the south
