Is THE SLATE COMPLETED?
Several Full Cabinets Sent Out from
lndianapOlis-O GOssips.

The visit of ex-Secretary Window to Gen.
Harrison has. as was expected. given cabinet
speculations new start, and last night every
special at Indianapolis sent out a more or less
completed slate. The New York Times and
sun give the following:
Secretary of State, James G.. Blaine, of
Name Secretary of the Treasury, William
Window, of Minnesota; Secretary of War, Jerry
Rusk, of Wisconsin; Postmaster General. John
Wanamaker, of Pennsylvania; Attorney-Gen-
eranl, W. II. H. Miller, of Indiana; Secretary
of the Navy, John Il. Thomas, of Illinois; Sec
rotary of the Interior. Gen. John w. Noble. of
Missouri; Secretary of Agriculture, Warner
Miller of New York.
The Herald places Estee and CLAYTON and
leaves out Rusk and Warner Miller; the World
makes Baxter. of Tennessee. Attorney General:
Plat. Secretary of the Navy; Foster, of Ohio.
Secretary of the Interior, and Senator Palmer,
OF Michigan, Commissioner of Agriculture,
leaving Blaine, Window, Rusk. and Wanamaker
slated as above. The Tribune also gives this
last list.
Mr.. Window will not confirm or deny the
rumor connecting him with the Secretaryship
of the Treasury. He admits that he was sent
for by Gen. Harrison. and that he had long
conversation with the President-elect upon the
subject of the cabinet, but declines to state
whether cabinet Office was rendered himself
The Tribune correspondent says: The secret
visit here yesterday of Gen. John ". Noble, of
st. Louis, gives some plausibiity to the state
ment that he will be Missouri's representative
in the cabinet Gen. Noble is the head of the
st. Louis law firm of Noble d circuit. He was
graduated at Gen. Harrisons alma mater.
Miami university, and served in the war of the
rebellion, going into the field with an Iowa
regiment. This fact is urged as a strong point
-. - Ea.. - o. y
well-known Partially for old soldiers. Gen.
Mobiles name has been mentioned several times
by the President-elect in conversation with Wis
itors from Missouri. Only last week he made
some searching inquiries of party of Missou-
rians about Gen. Mobiles record as a represent
alive republican. The st. Louis candidate has
the backing, too, of ex-senator John B. Hem
derson, who has practically declined in his fa-
yor. Mr.. Henderson wrote long letter last
week. Withdrawing from the field as a cabinrt
candidate and commencing Gen. Noble to the
President-elect as probably the best selection
that could be made from Missouri. The fact
that Gen. Noble came here secretly by invita-
ton and had long talk with the President
elect makes him strong favorite this evening
for Attorney General or Secretary of the Inte-
| rior.
LAw-pARrSER MILLER.
The same dispatch in referring to the prob
ability Of W. II. II. Miller, Gen. Harrison's law
partner. going into the cabinet, says: About the
middle of last week il was announced that Mr..
Miller would take the solicitorship of the
Treasury. but on Wednesday or Thursday Gen.
Harrisons's plans seem to have changed su d.
denly, for the first news about Mr. WINDOWS
| visit was followed by revival of the rumors
heard here frequently early in the winter that
MIR. Miller would go into the cabinet. The
place assigned TO him by his friends here is the
attorney-generalship, a department that might
| do equally well for Mr.. Noble or Mr.. Estee, of
| California. Any Of these three candidates
again, might accept the Interior department.
But, as the three of them cannot be squeezed
into two departments. one. apparently, must be
dropped, unless the Department of Agriculture
is also filed from the west. The friends of j.
n. Huston are convinced. however, that
Indiana viii not have a cabinet place. :
| COMING TO WASHINGTON.
The Herald correspondent says: Private Sec
Rotary Halford made farewell address to the
members Of the Central Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church, to which he belongs, TODAY.
/ In the course of his remarks he said that ne
| would not be here next Sunday. The presi-
DENTAL party win probably leave here about
the 2lst or 22d, and, il possible, without the
knowledge Of the public.
