Special TO the Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 23.-There
will not be any formal demonstration
on the departure of the president-elect
from here Oh Monday. This is in &C
cordance with Gen. Harrison's wishes.
The general will leave his home about Q
O'Clock, accompanied by Gov. Hovey
and Mayor Denny. Upon reaching the
Dennison hotel he will be joined by the
George II. Thomas post. G. A. r., which
will informally escort their diStin-
guished comrade to the union station.
Just prior to the departure of the spe-
cial train the general may briefly bid
his friends good-by. No attempt will
be made at hand shaking. The train
will draw out Of the union station few
minutes after o'clock. No extended
stops will be made en- route, except per-
haps at Harrisburg. Richmond. Ind,
will be reached in the neighborhood of
40 d. m, and Columbus about 8
o'clock. President Roberts car, which
has been specially prepared and retitted
for the comfort and convenience of the
president and the immediate members
of his family, reached here this after
noon. TO the number of persons here
tofore mentioned as likely to be of the
presidential party should be added the
names of Mrs. Eaton, of Ohio, sister OF
Gen. Harrison, and Miss Sanger, the
generals stenOgrapher. it is probable
that Chairman Huston, OF the Repub-
lican state committee, and wife, will
of the United States secret service, says
he will not accompany the train to
Washington. Hon. N. B. Scott, Of
Wheeling. w. Va, member of the
national Republican committee, called
upon Gen. Harrison to-day, and tits said
that he urged Gen. Coff's name for the
cabinet as means of settling the West
Virginia unpleaSantneSS without fur
ther friction. 1t is not thought prob
able, however. that any such scheme
will work. The cabinet slate is badly
broken, and in its fragmentary cOndi-
ton it will be transferred to the capitol,
and even there it is believed the full list
of names will not be publicly known
until the 5th, when it goes to the senate.
There has been but little cabinet gossip
here to-day, and literally no news. A
diligent inquiry has furnished no
grounds for changing the situation as
given out last night. The only four
places that are considered definitely
liked are those of Blaine, Window,
Noble and Wanamaker. As to the
others,
EVERYTHING is AT SEA.
There is considerable talk, however,
be given another representative besides
Noble. 1t is alleged that Noble will go
in as the personal representative and
choice of Gen. Harrison, and that the
Southern representative will be Ole
who has had more direct connection
with Southern affairs, and who will be
able to give some help in the practical
solution of the Southern question.
Since it was announced that Alger was
was no longer being considered. it was
thought that Rusk was sure of the war
department. but within the past day
or two that has been regarded as eX-
ceedingly doubtful, owing to the geo.
graphical situation. 1t is regarded that
the new secretary Of agriculture will
certainly go West, ana that tends to
throw doubt as to some OF those who
have been considered as certain for
other positions. The Central Western
states will have three departments-the
That is regarded as her full share. and
that the pOstoffice and navy at least
Will go the East, leaving the South and
the Pacific slope the war and justice.
Many of the Southern Republicans who
have been here have urged that the
South be given the department OF JUS
tice, as it is to that department they
look to more than any other for the re-
covery of their rights. This would
make the appointment of Judge Speer
not improbable. By others it is thought
the navy, instead of the war, will be
assigned to either the South or the Pa
cific slope, as San Francisco and the
whole coast are, or will be, deeply in
terested in the navy in view of the
present condition of affairs at Samoa.
One of the best posted Republicans
said to-day that the cabinet, as a whole,
would not be absolutely determined
upon until after the arrival of the gem
eral at Washington.
