WILL ELAINE BE THE PREMIER
 An Interesting Interview with the Presi dent-Elect, in Which Our Difficulty witr Germany is Discussed-The Incomins Cabinet Approaching Completion. INDIANAPOLIS Jan. 2S-Gen Harrison die
 not go to church as usual yesterday Sunday though it was, there was heap of busines on the president-elects mind In the frs, place he has had to consider the Samoan question in all its bearings, as they are likely to affect his administration, and to do his
 share in arranging as to the relations of Ger. many and this country arising out of the samoan difficulties, a policy which the senate can take up now with an assurance that if Will meet the approval of the incoming ad-
 mlnistration, and then he has had to continue
 his coy wooing of William R. Allison, whom
 he desires to have as member of his cabinet.
 This is 6 pretty fair average days work for any statesmen.
 Senator Allison, accompanied by Senator Cullom, of Illinois, arrived here soon after noon, coming direct from Washington. At the station they were met by Private Secre- tary Halford and John c. New. After greet ings from MT. New the two senators and Mir daEord took carriage direct to Gen. Ha1ri- sons house, and Mir. New and ex-Governor Rultt, of Colorado, walked up and down the
 station for half hour, in apparently impor- tant consultation
 Senators Cullom and Allison were loaded With business, and no time was lost after they reached the house. They had a light and
 nasty luncheon, and then went at once into executive session with the president-elect
 Even Elijah was barred out Gen. Harrison and the senators remained closeted until nearly 6 o'clock, when Senator Cullom re- turned to the hotel for supper.
 From him it was learned that a princi,,al subject of the conference had been the foreign relations of the government and especially the Samoan difficulty. Senator Cullom has al- ways been anxious for the government to keep stiff upper lip, and, though he refused to say what had taken place during the after noon, he evidently had no idea that there would be any backing down when Gen. liar rison became president.
 As to the cabinet, Senator Cullom simply declined to have anything to say, beyond the fact that he knew that Senator Allison could go into it if he wanted to-
 "But will he?' was asked.
 II can say nothing as to that" was all the reply that the Illinois senator would make
 He had not intended to leave the city until the Il o'clock train for Springfield, but at supper he met President Hammond, of the Indianapolis, Decatur and Western road, and was invited to accompany him in a trip the president was to make over that line in his special car. He accepted the invitation, and slipped away at ' o'clock.
 Senator Allison had remained at Gen. liar risons house, and in close conference with YNrsoc I,Iv Samoan matter had been fully discussed be- fore Senator Cullom left. It was said late last night that Senator Allison would remain here to-day. He stopped at the Harrison house all night
 There IS no longer any question that the treasury department has been offered to Senator Allison, and that up to yesterday he had declined to accept it. There is scarcely less doubt that he will accept either that or the state department before he leaves Gen, Harrison's house. The fact that the foreign relations of the government were the first things spoken of at the conference lends color to the story that Allison is to take the state department and that the treasury will 20 to New York after all. At any rate it is clear that if Allison goes into the cabinet at all he will be, except the president, the leading spirit of the administration
 Senator Cullom let drop to friend before he left town a remark indicating a belief that Blaine would be secretary of state. He said that up to the time he left the house he knew that Allison had not accepted the treasury portfolio, and it was uncertain whether he would consent to leave the senate. :.
 It is considered certain that before MT. Allison goes away the cabinet will be prac- tically completed
 NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-A special from h. dianapolis to The Tribune says:
 There is everysrea to believe short of an official announcement, that before Mir Allison goes back to Washington he will accept ab- solutely the president-elects offer of the treas ury department The Iowa senator came here undecided whether he would go into the cabinet or not He was will ing to look at the question squarely and to yield, if necessary, his personal preference for senatorial career to Gen Harrison's earnest desire to give the west the secretaryship of the treasury. His accept ance of the treasury portfolio is thought to complete the framework of the cabinet On the same confidential authority on which it is stated that MT. Allison will go back to Wash ington under promise to be the next secretary of the treasury it is said that the secretary ship of state has already gone to Mr. Blaine Thus, it is said, the cabinet is made a perfect balance.
 AUGUSTA, Me, Jan. 28-The news that the premiership in President Harrison's cabinet had been offered MT. Blaine was generally credited, especially when young James Blaine said his father had accepted the place and had gone to Indianapolis. Of late the general sen tinent had been that MT. Blaine would be called to the office which has been rendered him, although no one ever heard any intima- ton from his lips that he expected or desired place in the cabinet. If he had any knowl- edge that the place would be offered him he kept 1t secret
