 the Chiefs Alleged Work.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19-If Republican sen
 tinent here has any influence, Gen. liar
 rison's cabinet will be broken up once agair
 before he gets a chance to send it to the sen
 ate The publication of the list caused a sen
 sation here. The names in the list had all
 been discussed freely during the past few
 days, but this was the first time that they
 had been put together in cabinet form, and
 their relative and aggregated proportions
 contemplated. The result is that the Hoosie1
 Republicans are divided between indignation and disbelief
 One well known Republican said: ''There's nobody except Blaine ill the whole lot tha, stands for anything, or that is representative of anybody, except Windom, who represents Blaine, or of any principle except Wana. maker, who represents poodle Noble, W. H. H. Miller, Thomas and Rusk are politically good for nothing, and Warner Miller prob ably won't go in and won't represent anything but one side of a New York quarrel, if he does The cabinet rewards nobody except Blaine and 1t utterly ignores the states to whict both gratitude for favors received and a lively sense of favors to come should have dictated the giving of some representation Delaware, West Virginia and Virginia, in each of which the Republicans had made hard light against great odds and had done nobly, and each of which presented gooa man for the cabinet, are passed over and tht representative of the border states is an un- known man, taken from the hopelessly Demo cratic state of Missouri. The hopes oi southern Republicans are distinctly rebuffed The Pacific coast, after its gallant work for the party, is left out Iowa, Ohio, Kansa, and Nebraska, great Republican strongholds, are ignored Minnesota gets man whom she repudlated years ago, and who hasn't cast a vote within her borders since he had one sworn in four years ago
 New York is practically left out, because making Warner Miller secretary of agricui- ture amounts to nothing as a recognition of the work of the party in the state This cabi net satisfies nobody and represents nothing, and that's all there is about it. Pm no states man, but I'm politician enough to know that this Is the most damphoolish cabinet that man ever put together, and that if Gen. Har rlson don't listen to reason and brace it UT while there is time he will realize the fact him. self before he has been in office two weeks.n
 There Is ivelier prospect of the breaking up of the cabinet, however, from New York than from Indiana. The best information obtainable here is that Warner Miller has de clined the department of agriculture In tha, case it is supposed that Senator Palmer. of Michigan, will be the man chosen; but this choice will entail other changes in the cabi. net, for it would never do to take six out of the eight members of the cabinet from states that touch shoulders so closely as Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana Illinois and Missouri. That would be western cabinet with vengeance The most probable solu. tion of that trouble would be to drop Thomas and give New York the secretary of the navy.
 The choice of Rusk for secretary of wal pleases the soldier element in Indiana. With in few days one of the leading Republican in the state has been to Gen. liar. rlson especially to insist upon recognition being given to this elemant in the selection of the cabinet The talk was a very plain one, ana Is understood to have made some impres sion upon Gen. Harrison, and it is highly probable, therefore, that Uncle Jerry will not be knocked out ill any of the revisions the cabinet may undergo.
 PITTSBURG, Feb. 19.-Col James F. An lrews said that ex-Senator Wmdom had in l formed him while visiting here on Sunday that Gen. Harrison would not make known | his cabinet, even by intimation, until after he ] las taken the oath of office 1
 "Mr. Windom," said the colonel, ''gave me to understand that the rumors about his be ng offered the secretaryship of the treasury were pretty near the truth"
 "Then he has accepted?' asked the re porter.
 ''Yes, sir; the newspapers guessed right | his time, and no mistake,
