CLEVELAND OONFERS.

The President-Elect Confers with Dick
inson and villas on Matters Requiring
Administrative Action.
NEW YORK, Dec 19.-Mr. Cleveland
entertained two members of his old cabi-
net at his house Saturday afternoon and
evening. The visitors were Don. NJ.
Dickinson and Senator William +. Villas,
of Wisconsin. They said yesterday
that they had no hesitation in stating
that they had been in consultation with
Mr.. Cleveland on matters relating to the
interests of the Northwest. The con
ference lasted several hours. Among
the matters under discussion was the
question of cabinet appointments.
It was said that Mr.. Villas and Mr.
Dickinson had been asked for their
opinions as to the cabinet and other mat
ters because Mr. Cleveland had learned
from association with them to rely upon
their Judgment. No one had any of the
details of the conference to make public
yesterday and if any determination was
reached by Mr.. Cleveland as to any OF
the questions under discussion Mr.. Villas
and Mr. Dickinson did not disclose it,
Both left the city yesterday afternoon.

ACOUNTBSS' JEWELSTAKEN

burglars Get Away with s175, 900 Worth
of Jewels While the Baronet's Family
are at Dinner.
L9NDoE, Dec. 19-Burglars made a
rich haul of jewels Leigh Court, near
Bristol, the seat of Sir Cecil. Miles,
Baronet. Lady Miles had left jewels to
the value of $4,000 in a safe in
her bedroom, unlocked.
While the family were dining yester-
day robbers entered the mansion unob-
served, obtained access to the bedroom
and ransacked the safe. They took,only
the Jewels and did not burden themselves
with silver articles and valuable papers
of which there were quantity in the
apartment and some in the safe.
When Lady Miles went back to her
room after dinner, she saw the safe wide
open and articles scattered in confusion
about the room. The servants at once
gave notice to the police, who have not
succeeded, however, in getting on the
track of the marauders,
1t is believed that there must have
been some collusion in regard to the rob
berry, as it was not commonly knowI
that Lady Miles kept such quantity o.
valuables in her safe.
