In a QuandarY.

The London correspondent to the
New York World cables his paper
that there are oyer a million girls
in England who are not likely to
get married. lie suggests that the
girls be allowed to propose and
mentions other things which, II
done, he thinks would remedy this
sad state of affairs. AS however,
there are three millions more wo.
men in England than men we fail
to see how any remedy excepting
polygamy can provide husbands

Harrison Will Announce His Cabi'
net March 5.

The general opinion appears to
be that no definite selection of any
single member has yet been made.
1t is likely that the original list
has been narrowed down since
General Harrison's consultation
with prominent leaders Of the
Republican party. 1t is believed
that after General Harrion has de-
termined upon his cabinet he will
not make public the names until
they are sent to the Senate for con-
Grim alton. The indianapolis CORE
spond ent OF the New York Tribune
says:
"General Harrison, it is known,
is anxious to follow General
Grants example In keeping the
know ledge of his choice for Cabi.
nent off GERS from the public
until the Gnal Official announcement
is made. He has several times said
in conversation that he vas gong
to try aud keep all Cabinet negoti-
atioas perfectly confidential, and
has intmated that he would be
surprised if the newspapers anticl-
pated his selections. His refusal,
too, to confirm or deny newspaper
rumors about the Cabinet IS in line
with his policy OF silence, and bis
close friends here predict that If
there is any leaking Of Cabinet
selections il will be chargeable to
the recipients of invitations to
