 net Is Given.

Out-Harrison Packing Up.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 14-Col. John C. New started for Indianapolis apparently very well satisfied with the result of his mission. He had the manner of a man who had been sue cessful in his undertaking. When he left In dianapolis he received instructions from Gen. Harrison to find out all he could, but to i'm part as little information as possible. Above all, he was to be mysterious, Col. New, how ever, was not altogether successful in carry ing out Gen. Hafrison's injunction af secrecy. He did not betray himself, so far as could be learned, by any slip of the tongue, but he, ill an indiscreet moment, jotted down a few nctes on slip Of paper. When Col. New arrives in Indianapolis and searches his pockets for this paper he will not find it. It Was dropped in the corridor of the Gilsey house and subsequently, picked up by poli- tician.
 The slip of paper was shown to a number of Republicans, and they agreed Providence had had a hand ill placing this information in their hands. Here is the slate according to Col. News memoranda: Secretary of state, James G. Blaine; treasury, Charles Foster, of Ohio; postmaster general, John Wanamaker, of Pennsylvania; war, Jerry M Rusk, of Nisconsin; navy, w. H. II. Miller, of In diana; interior William 0. Bradley, of Ken lucky; attorney general, Judge Charles Dan- iels, of New York and agriculture Warner Miller
 It would appear from this that Senator Platt is not going to be recognized His friends have lost much of their confidence in the last two or three days. They practically admit that Mir Platt has very little chance of going into the cabinet. Some of them intimate that Mir Platt does not really care much about d place in the cabinet since he has received cer- tain hints as to Gen. Harrison's policy. They think it would be practically impossible for Mir. Platt to remain long in the cabinet in any event.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 14-Cabinet gossip here has been failing badly for the last two or three days A season of dullness and re- action seems to have set in. Little mforma- tion that is at once authentic and suggestive has leaked out since Sunday, and there is settled conviction amoug the political specu- lators that Gen. Harrison has practically suspended work on his cabinet. It is conject- ured that the New York problem is still the real obstacle in the president-elect's way, and no solution of that problem is looked for until about the time that General Harrison starts east.
 
 a brother of the president-elect, reached the city, and was with Gen. Harrison last night Active preparations have been begun by Gen. Harrison for the removal to Washington The family will leave at the close of next week or the first of the following week.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-According to a near friend of MT. Blaine the statement that the tender to him of the secretaryship of state was made by Gen. Harrison very soon after the election is very far from the truth On the contrary, Gen. Harrisons letter offer ing the place to MT. Blaine was received only within the past six weeks-perhaps only within the past month.
 While Mir. Blaine according to the same authority, never had any real doubt that the preSident-elect, either of his own motive or forced thereto by the demands of the party, would eventually tender him the premiership, the Maine statesman was becoming very un- easy as the weeks and months went by and Gen. Harrison made no sign.
 When the letter did come he promptly re- piled ill the affirmative. The friend herein quoted has seen both Gen. Harrisons letter offering and Mir. Blaine's accepting the nomination. Therefore that matter may be accepted as definitely settled.
 In the opinion of Washington politicians Gen. Malone Is no longer cabinet possibil- ity. It Is asserted that Gen. Harrison has decided not to call the Nirginan away from home but to sustain him there to the fullest extent in his power, giving him almost exclu- sive control of the local patronage. This ar engagement, it is also said, is entirely accepta- ble to the little general.
 BALTIMORE, Feb. H. - The Americans Washington special states positively that Hon. Warner Miller, of New York, has been offered and has accepted the position of secre- tary of agriculture in President Harrison's cabinet.
