sons heretofore mentioned as likely to be Of

n. B. Scott, of West Virginia, came here
to urge the selection of Gen. Golf by Cen
Harrison as one of his cabinet Mr.. Scott
says that Golf has given up the goyernorship
of the state. On his return from Gen. Harri-
sons Mr.. Scott said that he was under the
impression that Thomas would not be in the
On nipa4 and that Tofae.fe. of Na4.Ya,aut xuo.,l1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Chaillnan Britain,
of the Inauguration committee, will met the
president-elect upon his arrival here, and ac-
company him to his hotel. There win be no
demonstration or general reception upon Mr.
HarrsOn's arrival
New Workers in Washington are vet CON
fident that their state will have a place in
President Harrison's cabinet They contend
that two positions, and possibly three, viii be
held open until President Harrison arrives
here, and that a New York man will be put
into one of them if an agreement can be
made as to who shall be selected The friends
of Mr.. Platt contend that he viii be chosen
They say that they have made oveltures in-
directly to Senator Eyarts to take a mission
abroad or place in the cabinet, so as to
create a vacancy in the senate to be filed by
Mr.. Platt, but that an arrangement of that
kind cannot be perfected They believe the
naval, agricultural and judicial portfolios
will be open for at least a week, and that
ample opportunity viii be given New York
to select man for the cabinet.
Public opinion in Washington regards the
cabinet as made up to be thus:
Blaine, state.
Window, treasury.
Noble, interior.
Wanamaker, postofFice.
Rusk, war.
They believe the other three cabinet places
attorney general, navy and agriculture
will be determined upon after Pres dent Har-
rison arrives here
There are added to the names already given
in these dispatches for these positions those of
Messrs. Miller and Plat of New York. The
friends of both these gentlemen believe that
both viii be provided for somewhere, 1t is
understood here that Mr.. Platt has stated
that he does not want the colIectorship of
customs for the port of New York
The California men are yet unable to de-
eide in their own minds whether their section
viii be recognized, but thcy cling with great
deal of hope to the theory that their services
in the Chicago convention impose material
obligation upon the new chief executive, and
that either Swift or Estee viii be recognized.
