ALLISON NOW A PILGRIM.
HIS TRIP SEEMS TO SETTLE THE
TREASURY BERTH.

| Harrison's Determination to Have the
Senator or No one from Iowa
Brought About the Latter's Change
of Mind-Blaine Men Claim That He
Is q Certainty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G-It seems to be
settled that Senator Allison will be the next
Secretary Of the Treasury. He left for
Indianapolis this morning still undeter-
mined whether he would accept or not, but
the very fact that he consented to 90 to
indianapolis after conseuting to consider
Gen. Harrson's reiterated invitation again
shows that he is moving towards an accept
ance of tho proffered place. Two reasons
are said to have aided him to
overcome his reluctance: First, Gen.
Harrison's great solicitude to have him, and
second, Gen. Harrison's determination not
to appoint any other Iowian. 1t is stated
that Gen. Harrison has said that he would
have Senator Allison or no one from Iowa
Learning this, all the prominent Iowians
have been urging Senator Allison TO accept
His nearest friends think that he will do so
after talking with Gen. Harrison.
CLAIMS OF THE BLAINE MEN.
The Blaine men continue to state posi-
lively that Mr.. Blaine will be Secretary Of
State. They even 90 so far now as to say
that he has practically received and ac-
copied an invitation from Gen. Harrison.
They add TO this thA the cabinet will be
made up of Blaine men throughout, and
that Mr.. Blaine really secured Mr.. Wanna
makers appointment. They say he is work
ing now to have Senator Allison at the
treasury department. and that Gen. Alger
will be appointed to the war department by
gt..st, at.ff he
Pacific coast would, Of course, be a Blaine
man. As one of Mr.. Blaine's most intimate
friends said tonight, Harrison will be no.

CROwDING OUT ESTEE.
Senator Stewart of Nevada has, it is
stated. consented to let his name be used
in connection with the cabinet, in order to
prevent the possibility of Chairman Estee's
appointment. The Pacific coast republicans
in congress, with possibly one exception,
prefer John f. Swift to Mr.. Estee, but
lest Mr. Estee may prove too strong for
Mr.. Swift. they have Senator Stewart in
reserve. Senator Stewart like the rest OF
them has said that he would not accept a
cabinet place. but that was before Mr..
Estee's strength became so formidable. One
Of the things the Blaine men are rejoicing
in is the probability that Congressman
Reed will be shut out of the speakership
State Mr. Blaine wants Mr.. Reed beaten
in some way. 1t would be a splendid coup
d etut to beat Mr.. Reed while making him
self Secretary Of State.
CALLERS FROM ALABAMA.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 90 Another south
ern delegation called on Gen. Harrison to-
day. 1t consisted of Mayor Austin and
City Attorney Austin of Decatur, Ala,
and Mayor Frey and Alderman Hummel, of
New Decatur. They came to talk over the
new south with the general, and present him
memorial from the officials Of the two
fast-growing cities. They had very free
and pleasant conversation with tho general,
he talking much more than is usual with
them. He impressed on them that the
greater part of the work of bringing a
better order Of things about in the south de-
pended upon the people there, aud that he
would try as far as possible to give them
sue an administration as would help build
up the material wealth of the country and
would endeavor to put only the best men to
be found into Office but they must do some
thing, and it was with them t. organize
among their younger class a party Of true
advancement on the basis of protection to
American industries. They did not say
anything on the cabinet question to the
general, but on the outside said that their
people were in favor of Gen. Malone as the
representative of the south.
