ueved to be slated for the Place
Secretary aalford Explains the GEN
erals Absence From Church.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-President-elect
Harrison, worn out with cabinet making,
sIept until 10 o'clock this morning, conse-
ouentlv he did not go to church. Col. E. F.
Shepard, although he had presided over the
Spellbnders banquet until midnight without
turning down his wine glasses, called for
the President-elect to take him to the
church of the Covenant, (Presbyterian) but
the President-elect was not dressed yet, SO
Col. Shepard had to go on without him.
On the way out of the hotel Col. Shepard
nassed Vice President-elect and Mrs. Morton
on their way to st. Johns church, where
Bishop Deane, of Albany, was to otficiate.
A STAND OF CoLoRs.
The President-elect did not even go to the
New York Avenue Presbyterian church in
the afternoon when Rev. DIR. McCook,
chaplain of the Second Presbyterian church,
preached to his regiment on Christ the
Stanuaru-DeaTeri hid 1hI .. Ahoi OoA pre-
sented the regiment with its stand
of colors. In fact, the Presi-
dent-elect rested all day. Elijah W.
Halford. private secretary, who went to the
Foundry Methodist church himself, care
fully explained that Gen. Harrison was
scrupulously careful not to do any work at
all to-day HE was really tired out" said
Secretary Half4d. THE journey here,
the almost incessant conversation, and
all the varied labors of cabinet
making SO wearied him that he
was actually unable to go out to-day, but
he didn't do any work, however. He did
see some visitors, however, prominent
among whom were John Sherman, Benja-
min F. Tracy and John Scott Harrison,
brother of the Presidept-elect.
HOW HE SPENT THE NIGHT.
Gen. Harrison could not go to the Church
of the Covenant tonight to hear his old
pastor preach, because the Wisconsin SEN
ators had made up their minds during the
day to make a final effort to put Gov.
Rusk in the department of agriculture.
Tney put the argu nents for taking an
other extreme northwestern man as strongly
as they could. After them came ex-Gov
Furnas in person with Senator Paddock to
present him and the arguments in his favor.
So after all the President-elect had to work
almost as hard this Sunday night Presi-
dent Cleveland, who is closeted with Col
pile before HIM. Mr. Furnas' fitness for
the placs by training and experience is
conceded by everyone, but he has not been
held, since Thursday at least, to be a possi-
bility.
HARRISON LOOKS RELIEVED.
1t is assumed tonight on all hands that the
cabinet has been finally agreed upon. The
concensus of opinion is that Gov. Rusk is
stated for the agricultural portfolio. Gen.
HarrrSOuiS arDearauCA tonight taDdnd tO
confirm the impression that he has
freed his mind of worry over the cabinet
situation. He passed a comparatively quiet
day, and this evening his face and manner
both indicated feeling of relief. Barring
the accident of the unexpected, which, it is
said, always happens, the cabinet of the
Harrison administration will be as was
stated Thursday night.
Secretary of State-James g. Blaine of
Maine
Secretary of the Treasury-William Win
dom of Minnesota.
Secretary of War-Redfeld Proctor of
Vermont
Secretary Of the Navy-Benjamin F.
Tracy of New York.
Secretary of the Interior-John w. Noble
Of Missouri.
Postmaster General-John Wanamaker of
Pennsylvania.
Attorney General-W. H. II. Miller of
Indiana
Secretary of griculture-Jeremiah Rusk
of Wisconsin.
CLARKSON IN THE DRY GRINs.
John S. Clarkson is not so disappointed
but that he smiles humcrously. He proposes,
he says, TO start an association of disap-
pointed candidates for the cabinet, of
which Thomas C. Platt shall be presi-
dent and Mr.. Clarkson himself secretary
No man shall be eligible who did not elect
ten. Harrison by his own efforts. M.
Ciarkson thinks that Gen. Harrison's object
IN shutting out ex-senator Platt and him
sell Is to encourage pure partyism by dis
couraglng self-seeking on tie part of the
campaign managers. Senator Q iay was
quoted as having said that if Mr. Clarkson
dld not get place in the CABINET
ne would resign the chairmansnip
OF the republican national com
mlttee and put Mr.. Clarkson in it. So far
ne has not made the change There is
agreat de i OF growing among the friends
Oh tne party managers at the trea ment
they have received, but Senator Evarts
II VINO was for ex-senator Platt oddly enough
II goes around saying: "Remember, gentle
men, this is an administration to swear by,
RI not at"
