The President Apt to Announce the
New Secretary To-day.
WASHINGTON, Fob, 16.--The President is
quoted as saying to-day that he would send
in the nomination of the Secretary of the
Treasury this week, SO that the nominee
could be confirmed and arrange his affairs
in time TO take the office VIII N the thirty
day limit expires. This started the gos-
sipers to talking again very vigorously.
The fact that Gen. Clarkso1, who was to
have sailed for Europe before this, but who
is still lingering here after having sent his
family abroad, called on the President to-
day, revived the report shat the Presi-
dent would ask Secretary Proctor to take
Secretary Windom's place and would make
Gen. Clarkson Secretary Of War.

some prominence in to-day's gossip, mis-
friend, Senator Pierce of North Dakota,
having discharged some political ohliga-

dent and then communicating that fact to
the newspapers Representative Cannon of
Illinois was as good as appointed, according
to the capitol gossip, but Representative
Cannon. while he seemed willing, had to
admit that he had not yet been asked by
the President. This brought the gossip
back to ex>Gov. Foster Of Ohio. 1t is
thought not unlikely that the President will
make up bis mind tonight and announce
his decision at the cabinet meeting to-mor-
