COL NEW rs raoUaHr TO BE SELECTED FOR
THE PLAcR-sEsAroR EvARrs NAY BE CHOSEN
A. ArToRxKY-aENERAI-
While there was good deal Of speculative
matter about the cabinet sent out from Indian
apolis last night there was not single item of
news. The rumor in regard to the selection of
Mr.. Window as Secretary of the Treasury is
not believed to have any foundation there. and
the politicians incline to the opinion that Col
New win be appointed to that Office il he will
accept 1t. Mr.. Window, 1t is said, would be
acceptable to Mr.. Blaine. who recommended
him for the same position to Gen. Garfield, but
it Ii alleged that the ex-senator could not be
taken from Minnesota, as he has not lived there
for several years, and that it would::not be Just
to the state Of New York. in which he
now resides, to appoint him from that
state. The Window boom appears to be
stronger in this city than at the home of the
President-elect, and, as stated in The STAR yes
terday, there are those who are supposed to
hold confidential relations with Gen. Harrison
who think that the financial adviser of Gen
Garfield will again be at the head of the Treas
ury department. The Herald correspondent
mentions a rumor current in INDIANAPOLIS last
night that a tender Of the Treasury portfolio
to Mr.. Window was on its way to New York,
but he added that it was not generally be-
lieved
THE THURsroN BOOM.
Edmund Morton Smith, of Denver, Col,
assistant sergeant-at-arms Of the national re-
publican committee, yesterday presented to
Gen. Harrison memorial requesting that John
NJ. Thurston, Of Nebraska, be chosen Secretary
OF the Interior. The petition is signed by the
governor Mt off NJ
RADIO and all OF the members Of the legislature,
excepting those who were absent. including
the democrats. Mr.. Smith said, after his call.
that Gen. Harrison smiled graciously and was
glad to receive the petition, but he gave no
indication OF what action he would take.
IN BEHALF OF SENATOR PLUMB
A Topeka, Kan, dispatch says that delega-
ton consisting of ex-Gov. Anthony, Lieut.. Gov.
Felt Speaker Booth State Treasurer Hamilton.
Col. Hallowell and Col. Walker left Yesterday
for Indianapolis to present to President-elect
Harrison the resolutions adopted by the legis-
lature endorsing Senator Plumb for the cabl-
net. They also take letter from Gov.
Humphrey, in which he states that the resolu-
tons express the wishes of the people of the
state. The delegation have arranged for
hearing with the President-elect tomorrow,
and ex-Gov. Anthony will on behalf of the
delegation, present the name of Senator Plumb
for cabinet position.
EvARTs FOR ATToRNEY-aENERAL.
In regard to the rumor that Gen. Harrison
would recognize New York in the selection of
Senator Evarts as the cabinet representative in
that state, the Herald correspondent saws: SIT
Is now generally believed here that Senator
Evarts has been offered the Attorney General
ship, and it is also thought that he will accept.
1t Is argued that his term in the Senate will be
at an end in two more years, and that he sees
2 hard fight before him to be reelected. 1t is
known that he Is fond of Washington life and
by going into the cabinet he would be
sure OF four years more, and possibly eight.
The statement recently made by Gen. Harrison
to Judge Moore, Of Plattsburg, to the effect
that ne would like to take the Attorney-General
from New York, is significant"
MINERS AND MILLERs.
large number Of coal operators and miners
who are holding convention in Indianapolis
called on Gen. Harrison and offered to relieve
him of the vexation of selecting cabinet by
presenting him O slate made up entirely of
coal barons and operators. Gen. Harrison en-
Joyed the joke, but will 60 on making his own
selections in the same old way. The winter
wheat millers, who are forming trust in that
city. also called and were presented by Mr.
George Balm, prominent Missouri miller and
ex-president of the Merchants exchange of st.
Louis.

candidates for minor offices at the disposal of
the next administration are coming to the front
every day or two. Ex-senator Geo. NJ. Chill
colt. OF Colorado. for instance, has expressed
desire TO Gen. Harrison to be made the next
commissioner of the general land alice. He

A Toledo special to the New York Erenino
Post says: Ex-Gov. Foster was asked to-day if
he had been offered cabinet portfolio. He
said: II know nothing about it, absolutely
