WARRINGTON. February 27.-Thls has
been q very busy day with the Presi-
dent-elect. There was a constant
stream of visitors, Notwithstanding the
weather was extremely wet, slushy and
disaereeable, until o'clock, when the
general shut himself up with his family
for luncheon. The callers included
members of Congress AMI other officials
and Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine.
After luncheon the stream of visitors
flowed on as broad and deep as ever.
Cabinet gossip was the absorbing theme
everywhere, Blaine and Window were
with General Harrison longer than any
of his other callers, and the fact served
to fasten still more deeply in popular
mind that places were accorded them.
During the afternoon Russell Harri-
son visited the capitol and held con-
sultation with Senators Sherman,
Gray, Haddock and others. His pres
ence there set speculation on foot at a
great pace. TINS general impression
Tonight is that beyond two or three
places nothing is settled.
THE COAST PROSPECT.
A Pacific Coast Senator said he was
satisfied ten days ago that General
Harrison had determined not to give
the western slope representation in
the Cabinet, and now he is just as well
satisfied that a Pacific Coast man Is
under consideration. 1t might be either
Estee or Swift of California or Governor
Moody OF Oregon.
West wants the interior department.
Nebraska men are interested in secuF-
ing a place in the Cabinet for john r
Thurston, and are compelled to confess
it looks like John W. Noble, of Mis-
souri,, for the place.
A new possibility developed in the
person of Congressman Coggswen of
Massachusetts, who represents the
Salem district where Secretary Endic0tt
resides. He is an old associate OF
General Harrison, having commanded
the brigade with him in General Ward
division.
THE VERMoNTERs.
The Vermont representatives are
urging ex Governor Redield Proctor
lOE S6CISGdIE Vi w al oAO I"O VI OAAoC
authorities agree in asserting that Gov
ernor Rusk of Wisconsin, is no longer
possibility.
In this connection two Congressman
who called upon General Harrison and
talked cabinet to him say tnat Blaine
and Window are the only certainties.
Wannamaker and Noble are probable
tiles, although considerable opposition
to the former has been developed. All
else is chaos.
INTEREST IN NEW YORK.
Naturally the chief interest about the
New York rival delegations is the
working for Platt and Miller, one for
the Treasury and the other for the
Agricultural Department, and it is said
the matter is greatly harrassing General
Harrison.
MYSTERY.
mysterious letter was received by
the President elect yesterday afternoon
from the White House, which proved
to be an invitation to General
Harrison and wife to dine this
and Mrs. Cleveland. The idvitatiou
was accepted and the hour named. and
the guests left the hotel for the White
House. During the day and evening
the ladies received many calls, among
them the members of the Corean dele
cation, Minister Preston of Haytl and
others.
While the President and Mrs. Clevs-
land were entertaining General and
Mrs. Harrison, Private Secretary La
mont was initiating Hslford into the
mysteries of the official side of the Ex
acufiva Mansion
