WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 2s.-The
cabinet-makers are finding 1t very diff
cult to doyc-tail their planks together,
and many OF them are working on
shaky timber. There is very little else
to occupy their attention during the
holidays and there is great deal of
speculation as'to whom Mr.. Cleveland
will select as his advisers. Ono partial
cabinet list presented by some Of the
prophets for confederation on dun
day has ex-Minister Phelps for aecre-
tary OF state, Morrison or Carlisle for
secretary Of the treasury, tsPat' Collins,
Of Boston, for secretary Of war, Herbert
for secretary OF the navy, Dickinsonfor
attorney general. and Bl6unt, OF Georgia,
for postmaster general.
Tho solid delegation of Alabama are
infayor of Herbert being made score
tary of the navy and his appointment
would be generally approved in the
south, and by tho men from oil sections
who have served with him in Congress.
There is a strong belief however. that
Col Lamont has been selected for that
place and that Herbert may have some
thing else. Mr.. Herbert's friends say
that they do not think that there is any
otner place in the cebinet he would care
for. They say that he would not accept
aplace in the cabinet at all, il offered,
except for the reason that he takes a
great interest in the navy and believes
that there Is great deal that a secre-
tary can do to improve the service. He
has q great Opportunity for making
money in his profession, they say, and
il he does not become secretary OF the
navy he will enter as a partner in one
Of the best law firms OF the south.
COLLINS POPULARITY.
The selectionof Collins as secretary
OF war would meet with general ap-
proyal among Democrats, but it is
likely that he might not accept any
thing but the attorney generalship.
Concerning this place, however, there
is growing belief that it will 90 to
Dickinson. in spite Of the fact that he
has declared that he does not want to
go into the cabinet. 1t thought that
he would accept the attorney general
ship, and that Cleveland will be apt to
insist upon his taking It. IL is be-
lieved that no less than two cabinet
places, and in all probability three
will go to the south.
There are three southern men Of re.
putation spoken OF for the attorney
generalship. They are John Randolph
Tucker, OF Virginia: Representative
Culberson, Of Texas, who is regarded as
one Of the strongest men OF the south,
and ex.Representative Hammond, OF
Georgia. The three are regarded as ex-
cellent lawyers and men Of general
ability, besides having had experience
in public life. =,
It is not thought that Hammond will
90 into the cabinet, for II a cabinet
officer is to be selected from Georgia, 1t
is believed that Blount will be made
postmaster general
