INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1S-William Window
came here, went directly to Gen. Harrisons,
and staid there until ) o'clock, when he
started back for New York Il is supposed
that he viii be Gen. Harrison's secretary of
the treasury Mr. Window said that Gen.
Harrison telegraphed for him TO come To In
dianaapolis three days ago. II don't come
here of my own volition,n he said. Mr..
Window was expected for Secretary Halford
was at the station and received him, an honor
that has been accorded to very few Even
Senator Quay and John Wanamaker had no
one from Gen. Harrison's to welcome them.
They had to get Off the train and hail ham
som cab.
How Gen. Harrison came u telegraph for
Nlr. Window cannot b. ascertained His
doing 20 was kept secret from his closest
friends Even after Mr. Window had ar
rived here, Col. New could not believe it.
His conversations with Cen Harrison have
been of such nature that it seemed to be
impossible that Window had been sent for.
Col. New got home from New York ON
Thursday, and he spent some hours with
Gen. Harrison talking about the cabinet and
especially about New Yorlz's representation
therein. Not an intimation did Gen Har-
rison give thut he had ever thought of Win
dom in connection with the cabinet
While he was at the station waiting for the
train which was to take him back to New
York, Mr.. Window had snort conversation
with correspondent.
''Shall say, Mr. Window, that you will
be the next secretary of the treasury
II cannot answer that question. You may
say that came here by request of Gen Har-
risen. The secret is not my secret; it is Gen.
HarTison's. 1t is imposs ible for me 10 say
anything about my conversation with Gen.
Harrison. When | say that came here by
request of Gen Harrison you may form your
own conclusions. ! cannot say anything
more. You may put all the emphasis you
choose on 'Canie'n
Mr.. Window was in the best Of spirits.
His ruddy, good natured face rippled with
smiles. Even John Wanamaker, after his
return from Gen. Harrisons, did not exceed
Mr.. Window in geniality. He had on new
silk hat which shone with surprising splen-
dor, and in every way he gave fine impress
sion of man who was perfectly satisfied
with himself and well disposed toward the
rest of the world just as he was stepping
on the sleeping car he added this: my con-
versation with Gen. Harrison was perfectly
satisfactory. We had full and free discus
sion. and | go away pleased with my visit
"Will your appointment be credited to New
York or to Minnesota
ITO Minnesota, where | have lived for
thirty-five years. do not live in New York =
If Mr. Window be counted on for the
treasury, the cabinet slate viii undoubtedly
be finished before Gen. Harrison gets to
Washington. There seems to he no longer
any doubt that Ex-Governor RtlSs and john
Wanamaker are to have portfolios. Warner
Miller is put down with great confidence
for secretary of agriculture, and NJ.
NJ Estee for secretary of the in
terror. The other two places are assigned
to Missouri and Indiana or to Missouri and
New York. New York may have to be con-
tent with-one department, however. The In
diana man, it is whispered, is likely to be
Judge Woods or Gen. Harrisons law partner,
W. H. H. Miller
