WASHINGTON. Feb. 2S. - Although
Senator Stockbridge. of Michigan, TO-
day recommended Rusk instead of
Palmer, Wisconsin has 10 show of a
cabinet appointment tonight. 1t is I'M
derstood that he is barred by political
geography. Senators Sawyer and
Spooner called twice on MI. Harrison
to-day, urging Rusk's name, but they
received no encouragement. The only
position open to Rusk this morning was
the secretaryship of agriculture, and the
string has been pulled on that: so that
Rusk is to be left out. His friends say
that Harrison feels kindly toward Rusk,
and will lose no time III granting proper
recognition to him and to his state,
either by diplomatic designation or
high executive bureau Office in Wash
lngtOn.
THE WINDOW BOOM
is inflated with buoyant strength and it
floats and tiaunts in the face of object
Ors. Minnesota congressman feel that
honor is done the state in selecting
Window. Notwithstanding his recent
business enterprises in the East, his
residence in Winona and connection
with the railroad to Council Bluffs, they
say, stamps him as Loyalty and thriftily
a Minnesotian. No matter, however,
what might be said for or against Mr..
Window, it is settled that Harrison in
tends to make him secretary of the
treasury. 1t is stated that Senator
Washburn, and not Blaine. first called
HarriSOn's attention to the eminent fit
ness of Window for the position, and
that his selection is In no wise war
rant for the assertion that Blaine will
manage Harrison administration. The
Minnesota men fully understand that
WASHBURN MADE THE SUGGESTION,
and Blaine had nothing to do with it
except to yesterday add his personal
testimony TO the fitness of the appoint
ment of Window. Senator Davis to-day
welcomed Senator Window on the floor
of the senate and held a long private
conversation with him there. An even
ing paper says: "Mr. Window is him.

has accepted the treasury portfolio and
will lease a house here for four years."
Hon. John J. Kleiner left for home this
evening. He said: 1.-The Sioux bill

Dawes assures me that it will pass the
senate tomorrow, and hence l am going
home happy. The reservation will now

OBSERVATIONS.
The bill granting right of way to the
Forest City Railroad company passed
the senate to-day and Mr.. Clifford says
it will pass the house tomorrow. Capt.
John J. Hassler, of West Virginia, is
interested in this road and says he has
assurance that the president will sign
the bill. The Red Lake Chippewa COM
misSiOners are definitely known to be
Whiting, of GAINESVILLE. Wis; Henry B.
Rice, of st. Paul, and Bishop Marty, of
Dakota. The name of Hon. Edmund
Rice was given to the GLOBE a few
days ago by mistake for his brother
Henry.
THE NAME OF GILBERT PIERCE
was withdrawn to-day as a candidate
for governor of Dakota, and Gen. Har-
Tison was assured that unless Harrison
Aliens name is urged by Quay there
will be no other candidate from North
Dakota. The gentleman who withdrew
Pierce's name by authority stated that
Pierce is a candidate for the senate and
does not want to reneT old antagonismS
by temporarily filling the office OF gov
eTnor. His withdrawal practically
leaves the field open for Mellette with
out opposition. Senator Sawyer. &C
cOmpanied by the Wisconsin Republi-
can congressman and visiting friends
called on Mr.. Blaine this afternoon by
appointment and they were received
with great cOrdiality by the premier of
HarrisOn'S administration.
THERE Is A ROW ON FOOT
in which all Wisconsin will be inter-
eSted. Hon. Richard Guenther has been
an Openly-annOunced candidate for
recorder Of deeds for the District of
Columbia ever since the election. The
office pays $4,000 per annum. 1t has
been conceded on all hands that the
eminent GeTman-American Republican
senator could have that or any other
office which he might name. To-day
there is lively racket over the can
didacy of Col. Perry Heath for the same
position. Col. Heath used to be private
secretary to Senator Harrison; was his
confidential secretary during the recent
campaign: is correspondent of the
indianapolis Journal and Harrison's
effective friend. 1t is well understood
that Col. Heath would not he candi-
date without full understanding of
the possibilities. Senators Sawyer and
SpOOner have been told during the past
winter that a district man ought to have
the office, for which they recommended
Guenther. Col. Heath has been resi-
dent of this district for seven years.
Guenther and the Wisconsin delega-
ton are all
RATIFIED AND EXCITED
over Heath's candidacy. 1t looks like
Heath for the position. The contract
for approaches to the public building
at La Crosse, Wis, has been awarded
TO Martin Hendricks. of this city, foI
S7,S13. Congressman Thomas, of Hi.
nois is himself authority for the state.
ment that he expects to be secretary OF
the navy. Secretary Allison said this
afternoon: II have never doubted that
Mr.. Clarkson will be member OF Gen
Harrison's cabinet. Mr.. Clarkson will
soon be in the city, It's evident from
Senator Allison's manner that he has
reason to believe that Clarkson will be
appointed secretary of the interior.
