The President Elect Has Authorized No
 Statement Concerning Allison Moves
 on the Cabinet Chess Board-Gen. Har-
 rison's Address to the Ministers.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5.-The impression is gaining ground here that Senator Allison has actually declined Gen. Harrison's invitation to go into the cabinet as secretary of the treasury. The reasons for the Iowa states. mans refusal to take the treasury have al ready been thoroughly canvassed, and his de sire to stay in the senate has been satisfactorily accounted for. The fact of his declination has not been announced, and will not be an nomced by the prcsdent-elect.
 ''None of the statements about Senator Allison sent out from here," said Gen. Harri- son, "has been in any way authorized. ] have not said anything to any correspondent about the matter. and cannot be made re- sponsible for anything that the newspapers have printed about a letter mailed last week from Senator Allison to myself"
 Distinguished Indianians are again being shifted about in cabinet speculation, includ- trg Judge Woods, Col. John C.. New, Gen Lew Wallace and ex-Governor Porter, but little importance is attached to either of these possibilities, although the talk regarding Col New meets with the most favor. As to Gen. Wallace, he is on record as having stated that he would not accept cabinet position, and ex-Governor Porter, if he is booked for any thing at all, will go abroad.
 It is now understood here that while the choice for the treasury may, after all, fall upon Congressman Mckinley, that gentleman prefers to remain where he is.
 The evangelical ministers of the city, through their association, took to Gen. Harri- son their congratulations and good wishes Gen. Harrison, in response to the written ad- dress and to the one already delivered by the chairman of the committee on presentation, replied:
 II very greatly appreciate this kind and friendly expression. Coming, as it does, from all the pulpits of the city, it is all the more grateful to me. Entering upon the discharge of the duties which shall soon assume shall be glad for all the sympathy of the good peo- pie of the nation. If I am conscious of the possession of a single qualification for the duties to which I am called, it is the serious and settled purpose to do right as I may be guided. thank you for your visit and your friendly expression of interest"
 The best opinion here is that Blaine will be secretary of state, William Windom of the treasury, Rusk of War, and Wanamaker of the navy, with Evarts as attorney general There is no doubt that Allison has positively declined to go into the cabinet and as Gen. Harrison desired the treasury department to go to the west, it is reported on good authority that he has selected Mir. Windom for that place. Here the selection is looked upon as a good one. There is less talk of Evarts than formerly, yet no one has name to suggest for the attorney generalship.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Senator Allison is somewhat annoyed at publications in certain papers which represent him as having been coqueting with Gen. Harrison, as having been hot and cold at times in regard to the cabinet, and with having refused to accept the treasury portfolio because he could not secure certain pledges from the president-elect and from the governor of Iowa concerning the successorship in the senate, and all such reports do him great in justice. All persons to whom Senator Allison has given his confi- dence are aware that from the first he has resisted the attempt to make cabinet minis ter of him, and he has been sincere
