Rumors Of Cabinet Changes-The
Democratic Convention.
WASHINGTON, June SIT is stated by
a Vermont Republican. who was for
merly clerk of prominent committee
of the house, that Secretary Proctor
would retire after the fall elections and
then Mr.. Harrison's cabinet would
be reconstructed. Mr.. Blaine,
Mr.. Tracy and Mr.. Foster
would retain their present positions.
MI. Miller would go on the bench and
Mr. Noble would be provided with a
foreign mission. The reconstruction of
the cabinet would be made, he said, and
between Secretaries Blaine, Foster and
Tracy and the president himself, with
the object of promoting Mr.. Harrison's
election. All stories, he said, as to who
would be selected for cabinet vacancies
were merely conjectural, as no person
had yet been selected or even discussed.
ST. LOUIS, June S.-An afternoon pa
per is out to-day with story to the
effect that when Gen. John W. Noble
returns here from Hot Springs, where
he is SojOurniGg for his health, will
send his resignation to the president as
secretary of the interior. The paper
also intimates that the general will be
sent to st. Petersburg as United States
minister.
NEW YORK, June S.-Where the next
Democratic national convention will be
held will be determined by the national
committee next February. But the visit
of Don NJ. Dickinson, Cleveland's post
master general, last week and his
advocacy Of Detroit have aroused
interest in the subject. San Fran
cisco was already in the field.
For "a number of years the Golden
Gate city has bid for the privilege of
greeting the Democratic national CON-
teemen, and the crowds that come in
their wake. MIR. Dickinson had con-
versations with a number of lead
ing Democrats here. He told them
that Detroit was the coolest city
on the earth in June. He also
thought that it was centrally situated.
He was emphatically opposed TO Chi
cago- He had not the remotest idea
why Chicago should be discussed for a
moment. His argument against the
fact that the Republican fair would
be in full blast by this time
next year. Mr.. Dickinson was told
that Detroit had not the hotel accom- :
modations. I'VE will build wigwam
then," replied Mr.. Dickinson. 'We'n
guarantee to receive, Hospitality, every
Democrat in the country" He said
that the national encampment of the
G. A. R., to be held in Detroit this
year. would demonstrate that there
was hotel room enough. Senator Calvin
S. Brice, chairman of the national
committee, said yesterday that he did
not feel like expressing an opinion on
the subject, because he would have to
vote on it. He admitted that San Fran
cisco wants the convention, and he said,
with a smile, that if the Democratic
citiZeas of that city wanted to
do as the citizens of Portland,
Or, had just done, possibly the
convention would be held there. While
thePresbyterian general assembIywas in
session last week committee OF Port
land people appeared and guaranteed
the expenses of all the delegates, rail-
road fares and hotel bills, if the next
general assembly would come to
Portland. The offer was accepted.
Il believe" resumed Cal. Brice, 'sthat
the bigger the city where the next Dem
ocratic convention is held the bigger
the convention will be. | favor at the
moment either New York or Chicago.
If it is held in New York, Madison
Square garden would be the place for it,
in my opinion"
