Sumed tonight on all hands that the
cabinet has been finally agreed upon as
given above. The consensus of opinion
is that Gov. Rusk is slated for the agri-
cultural portfolio. Tonight, however, +,
the Nebraska delegation, headed by
Senator Paddock and John NJ. Thur
ston and accompanied by r. W. Fur
mas, who arrived during the day, called
upon Gen. Harrison at the Arlington to
introduce Mr.. Furnas and urge him for
the vacant position. Mr.. Furnas' fitness
for the place by training and ex-
perience is conceded by every enc, but
he has not been held, since Thursday,
at least, to be probability. Gen. Har-
rison's appearance tonight tended to
confirm the impression that he has
freed his mind of worry over the cab
met situation. He passed compare
lively quiet day, and this evening both
his face and his manner indicated a
feeling of relief. Yesterday afternoon
Gen. Harrison and his son Russell drove
down Pennsylvania avenue and viewed
the decorations and other preparations
for to-morrow's event. As they rode
along the general eSpied a banner bear

to himself, and on the reverse uncom-
plimentary to President Cleveland. AS
they are to ride together tomorrow,
Gen. Harrison deemed it but courteous
to nave conveyed to the owner of the
building his disapproval of the banner.
This was done in such manner as not
to give offcnse, and to-day the obnoxious
banner was removed. The work of
preparation for the great event to-mor-
rOw-the Inauguration of Gen. Harri-
son as president of the United States
is complete. Tho Inauguration bids
fair to be attended by popular gather
ing such as was never before seen at
Washington on the 4th of March, and the
aggregate demonstration will give the
national capital probably the most
brilliant and gayest week in its history.
The citizens have finished the decora-
ton OF their stores and residences, and
the numerous temporary stands on
either side of Pennsylvania avenue, all

procession from the capitol to the pres.

elaborate than ever before known on
similar occasions. The procession

back from the capitol to the White
house, after he takes the oath

in point of numbers any former one,
