Auison's Deciination Upsets the Cabinet
Arrangement-Gen. Harrison Greatly Put
Out-The Latest Gossip.
WASHINGTON Feb. 2.-Senator Allison viii
not be a member of Gen Harrisons cabinet
His final and unalterable decision was reached
after a careful consideration of the whole
field and was forwarded to the president-elect
at indianapolis There is no doubt about this.
The position taken by the Iowa senator was
in accordance with his own private and polt-
ical wishes. In a measure he was compelled
to take the stand he did, because, had he not
zone 50, he would have caused some Of his
warnest supporters IN the senate and in his
own state to grow cold toward him
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb lit looks as though
Gen Harrison's cabinet had been smashed
even before il was completed. Allison has
refused to go into il, and Allison was TO that
cabinet like a stone 10 an arch The whole
combination had been built 10 fit the senator
from Iowa, and his declination changes all
the circumstances that have controlled the
choice Of the other men, 50 far as they have
been chosen, and there is every reason to sup
pose that practically the whole cabinet had
been selected, and Gen. Harrison really
thought that his worry over it was ended.
In this connection very prominent gentle
man who was here last week left behind him
piece of confidential information that may
now prove an important indication. He said.
Il am reliably told that Vice Presdent-elect
Morton some days after his return from In
dianapolis told his intimate friends that II
Allison declined the treasury il would be
offered TO ex-senator Tom Plattn Another
dilemma, predicted that the treasury would
be offered to Mckinley, of Ohio
1t has been pretty well authenticated here
that when Mr. Morton left indianapolis lie
carried with him an offer of the naval port
folio for Mr.. Platt, and that gentleman de
clined it, being unwilling to accept anything
short Of the treasury. II is thought that Mr.
| Platt's appointment to the treasury would
freeze Mr. Wanamaker out Of the cabinet
and send the postmaster generalship TO Clark
son, of Iowa.
DETROIT, Feb. 2-The News, whose editol
