 INDIANAPOLIS Feb S.-An impression pre- walls that between Gen. Harrison and Col. New an understanding has been arrived at within the past few Gays Since the election Ce New has been steadfast in his reserve. He has made no ovcrtureS to Harrison, and has forbidden a host of friends, such as Matt Quay, to sprak to the president in his behalf. But within the week an unprecedented in tilnacy has been struck up between the rresi- dent and the man who nominated him, and it is common talk that Gen. Harrison has visited New as often as three and even four times ill a day.
 What took New to New York yesterday afternoon, aside from tine private business he proclailns, nobody knows He intended to go four days ago, but has deferred his departure from day to day, presumably at Harrison's say so One thing grows more and more cer- tain-that Indiana must have place in the cabinet. A Republican of high rank told the story in ten wtit,s at supper.
 Indiana mast have a cabinet member" he said ''as a breakwater for office hunters, and Gen Harrison himself knows that unless he names one the wave will wash him away"
 The speculation over Judge Woods name has begun to assume some weight and there is following who believe that he is surely slated fer the attorney Seneralship.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-fha latest gossip around the Capitol about the cabinet is that Pennsyvanians are making hot fight against assigning Mir. Wanan,aker to the naval de- partnenC, and that two sets of Pennsylvania influences are resisting his appointment to any | cabinet office One these represents that all | the contracts for steel for the navy are | awarded to Pennsylvania concerns, and most l of the contracts for building ships are held by the Cramps and the Delaware River Ship building company, and the appointment of a l PennsylvaEian to be secretary of the navy would arouse criticism and suspicion; that Gen. Harrison will promote his peace of mind and the good repute of his administration by | appointing n secretary of the navy from some | other state than Pennsylvania.
 | The other opposing force is composed of the
 friends of Wharton Barker He is reported
 to have said that the appointment of Wana-
 maker would be personal aifront to him. It is asserted with great positiveness by | some of the Republican politicians that John sherman mas WTlllcn Il lO 0eu.

 coming administration a success, but warn
 ing him that Algers conduct in Chicago was
 such that he could not with self respect sub
 init to Algers appointment to a place ill the
 cabinet without making fight on it from the
 start. One of the western Republican senators was asked what he thought , of this story, and he replied that ht did not believe Senator Sherman hac
 written such a letter, because it would b'
 carrying things little too far, and Mr. Sher
 man was very discreet man, but that he hat
 denounced Alger with entire frankness to hi colleagues in the senate and given them tn
 impression that if Alger were nominatet Sherman would defeat him if possible. On the other hand, one of Senator Sherman closest Ohio friends says that he has talked
 number of times with the senator about tn
 cabinet and has always assumed ill his re marks that Alger would be member of ii and the senator has never expressed resent Q ment toward Alger, and has never intimate l that he would resent his confirmation.
