Washington Politicians Now Have
Harrison's Advisers All Selected
With But One Exception.
New York Not Yet In the Deal. but
May Have the Navy Under Ger
tain Conditions.


The impression prevails In some circles
tonight that the cabinet Of the incoming
administration Is complete with the excep
tion Of one name, and that no further
change will be made In the slate as at pros
ent arranged. This is the makeup that
receives the most credence:
Secretary OF State-James G. Blaine.
Secretary OF the Treasury-Wm. Win
dom.
Secretary Of war-Redfeld Proctor.
Secretary Of the Nayy-To be filled.
Secretary OF the Interior-John Y. Swift
Attorney -Generel-John w. Noble.
Postmaster r-General-John Wannamaker.
Secretary of Agriculture = jeremiah
Rusk.
II is said TO. night that PlAtt and Miller
are distinctly out Of the race and the Plat
men are much annoyed. New York may
get cabinet place, but II depends entirely
upon the temper of her politicians Gen.
Harrison, after hearing great deal about
the situation In the Empire state, told Nor
ton II the republicans there without regard
10 factions or personal difficulties could
unite In recommending some man for q
cabinet place, he would have generous
consideration. IL such harmony can be
brought about, the man named would be
given the navy portfolio. Senator
Palmer Is not believed 10 be pos
sibility any longer. General Harrison
is also reported TO have said 70 Nebraska
man that where state had presented a
man for cabinet honors, and IL had been
found inexpedient TO put his name on the
list, II was hardly 70 be expected that
man not presented and supported should
be chosen. This was taken 70 dispose Of
the chances Of Robert w. Furnas, OF Ne
braska, for secretary OF agriculture, who
had been suggested when John M. Thurs
toms name was rubbed on, and would
equally apply to Gen. Alger and Senator
Palmer.
The Wisconsin delegates are still conf.
dent that Gov. Rusk will have place, but
II 10 not 10 be secretary of war. That APP
pears to be conceded 10 ex-Gov. Proctor, OF
Vermont, and the only other place open 10
him Is that of agriculture. This morning
the delegates OF Wisconsin and Illinois
called In q body upon Gen. Harrison.
Their visit occasi0ned some gossip, as
having been made with view 10 effect
cabinet combination, but this was denied
by the members.
w. II. Miller, the ex-law partner OF
Presidentelect Harrison, who accompanied
him TO this city, and whose name has been
often mentioned ~ the coming attorney
general, is now talked of for solicitor gen
eral. He said there was no foundation for
the story printed this morning from Toledo,
that he has written 10 friend there saying
be had accepted the position Of attorney
general.
Asa result OF Congressman Belden's din
ner to the New York delegation last night,
IL Is stated to-day they will support Gen.
Geo. Sharp for collector OF the port OF New
York.
