MORE STRAIGHT TIPS."
The New Cabinet as Arranged
in Washington.
NEW YORK STATE GETS 4 PLACE.

NAahiNufuNs ftb. lo.-Ahe pohilcM WISE
acres in Washington who claim to have "a
dead straight tip fix up President Hairi-
sons cabinet in about this order:
Blaine, of Maine, state
Window, Of Minnesota, treasury.
Rusk, Of Wisconsin, war.
Platt, OF New York, navy.
Foster, Of Ohio, interior
John Baxter, Of Tennessee, son Of Judge
Baxter Of the state supreme court, attorney
general
Palmer, Of Michigan, agriculture
Wanamaker, Of Pennsylvania, postofllce.
There are many men Of national reputation
in Washington, most Of them senators or
members Of the house, who do not put inn
plcit confidence in the statement from In
dianapolis that ex-senator Window win be
secretary Of the treasury A majority Of
men in congress who express an opinion con
tend that Col John c. New win be secretary
Of the treasury, and that he would not have
made his recent trip TO New York with inn
portant messages from Gen. Harrison had
not be been slated for place in the cabinet.
He would take no other place than the treas
ury.
II Mr.. Window should 60 into the cabinet
it viii be regarded here as Blaine appoint
ment, for it is well known that Messrs. Win
dom and Blaine are intimate personal friends,
and that the former would be the latter's
first choice for the treasury portfolio The
statement that Col New for Gen. Harrison
rendered to Mr. Platt the navy portfolio is
given credence by those who know the warm
personal relations existing between these men
Col. New has had very high personal re
gard for Mr. Platt for many years they hav-
ing been the most ardent friends Of Gen
Grant and Senator Conkling and It is no Sc
cret that Col. New has all along advocated the
giving Of a place to his friend, ex-senator
Platt.
II is taken as fact in Washington iiat
Mr. Platt would accept only one Of the three
positions, the treasury, the navy or the post
Office. II has been stated repeatedly that the
treasury would 60 to the west, and there can
be no noubt that Il will
1t is not believed 70 be wisdom to give the
navy portfolio TO MIR. Wanamaker on account
OF the ship building interests in Pennsylvania
and the embarrassnents which would come to
him II he We're secretary Of the navy The
natural logic turns the postolfice department
over to Mr.. Wanamaker, since that position
is to 60 to the east
This leaves only the navy for Mr.. Platt.
The Wisconsin delegation is authority for
the statement that Governor Rusk is 10 be
secretary Of war. A correspondent cannot
make public his authority for stating Senator
Palmer, Of Michigan, is believed to be slated
for secretary Of agriculture.
1t is doubtful whether the attnney gen
eralship will 60 10 Tennessee, as stated, unless
Gen, Harrison is determined to give ttse south
place in his cabinet
The Nebraska delegation is yet confident
that Judge John NJ. Thurston Is In Gen.
Harrisons mind for secretary Of the interior.
IL is not improbable that the attorney general
ship may 20 to New York, the secretarvship
of the interior TO Thurston, Of Nebraska, and
that the name Of Col. New may be substituted
for that Of Mr.. Window for the treasury.
Senator Manderson left the fcity Saturday
night for his home in Nebraska, and il II
stated that en- route he viii stop at Indiana
polls and urge the appointment Of Judge
Thurston for the interior
Senator Manderson is a very warm per
sonal friend Of Gen. Harrison, and he is ter
ribly in earnest about Judge Thurston's APP
pointment. The Indiana Republicans here
who know Col New best argue that he did
more 70 bring about Gen. Harrison's nomina-
ton and certainly as much as any man to
secure his election that he Is eminently fitted
for the treasury; that he is the first choice Of
Indiana that the state must have some man
in the cabinet who is capable and who win be
willing to take charge of the distribution of
the offices, and that although he has stated 10
Gen. Harrison that he is not an aspirant TO
political honors, he would accept the place If
he were requested to do so.
INDIANAPOLIS Feb. Is.-There is very little
satisfaction expressed here over what win
probably be the personnel Of the Harrison
cabinet. It is now accepted that Blaine,
Window, Wanamaker, Miller Of Indiana.
Noble Of Missouri, Thomas Of Illinois, Rusk
Of Wisconsin, and Miller Of New York, are
to be the new presidents advisers. Objec-
tions are strongly expressed in regard to
Window
Mobiles initials are J. W., but neither those
letters nor his surname appeared on any hotel
register when he slipped into the city, and
drove Immediately thereafter to Gen. Harri-
sons residence, which he did not leave until
he took the train for the west at noon. His
presence in the city was not discovered until
late at night He is booked, 1t is thought for
the interior.
Yesterday there were no visitors Of note
the general, aside from the calls OF intimate
friends, having the day 70 himself. He went
10 church as usual, and then spent the after
noon at the home of his law partner, Miller
who is his prospective attorney general
The New York Suns special correspondent
telegraphs as follows:
Barring possible declinations on the part Of
some of the men selected and scarcely posi-
BILE changes Of mind on the part Of Gen. Har-
rison, the next cabinet will be as follows:
Secretary Of state-James Gillespie Blaine.
of Maine.
Secretary Of the treasury-William Win
dom, Of Minnesota.
Secretary of war-Jere Rusk, Of Wisconsin.
Secretary Of the navy-John r. Thomas,
of Illinois
Secretary Of the interior-John Wilcox
Noble, Of Missouri.
Postmaster general-John Wanamaker, Of
Pennsylvania.
Attorney general-W William Henry Harrison
Miller, of Indiana.
Secretary of observation-disclosures Miller
of New York.
This make up of the cabinet has been set
tied since the acceptance by Mr.. Window Of
the treasury department made il possible to
proceed with the choice of men for the three
or four minor places that had been held open
pending the settlement of the question as 70
the disposition OF the treasury department.
