Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The Cabinet
makers are very busy. James c. Carter of
New York, a lawyer of very high standing,
and a close friend OF ex-President Cleve-
land. is the latest man mentioned for Secre-
tary of State. bon. Patrick Collins is still
being urged for the Attorney y-generalship.
Tho SO to receive honorable mention" for
Cabinet positions thus far are Carlisle.
Whitney, Flower. Bayard, Campbell, Don
Dickinson, Ex-Governor Gray of Indiana,
Villas, White Of California, Wilson of West
Virginia, German, Russell and Collins of
Massachusetts, Mcpherson of New Jersey,
Ransom Of North Carolina. Benedict of
New York, Herbert of Alabama, Mills Of
Texas.
Some of ex-Priyate Secretary Dan La
mOnt's friends are even suggesting that he
may be one of the Cabinet It is believed
that Mr.. Whitney could have anything he
wants, but he does not desire to re-enter the
Cabinet. Congressman Breckenridge of
Kentucky says Whitney would like TO come
10 the Senate, but the secretary of the Dem
ocratic State Committee, Edward Murphy
of Troy, has been selected as Hiscock' 5
successor by Tammany. Whitney would
be pleased if Hill could be induced to ac-
eept a place in Mr.. CleveIand's Cabinet
He might then wear Hill's Senatorial toga,
but the latter's friends say be has no de-
sire 10 be zone of Mr.. Cleveland's clerks"
Mr.. Hill is waiting patiently for 1885,
Congressman Hatch, chairman Of the
Committee on Agriculture, would like to
have Secretary Rusk's place. 1t seems to
be pretty we'll settled that Gray Of Indiana,
Campbell Of OHIO and Wilson OF West Vir-
ginia will be members of the new Cabinet
The CALLS correspondent learned to-day
from a very close friend Of Ex-Governor
Gray Of Indiana that the latter will be
POstmaster-General. There seems to be no
doubt entertained about this, and it can be
also stated with a reasonable degree of GER
talniy that William l.. Wilson OF West
Virginia will be Attorney General. Nothing
is said about what place Mr.. Campbell will
have. He may be Secretary Of State. Mr..
S. NJ. White of California is not seriously
considered as far as a Cabinet position is
concerned. The CALLS correspondent
has talked with good many politicians
concerning some idle newspaper reports
that Mr.. White asked some of them to in
tercede for him. Others who knew of Mr..
White said that Cleveland will never invite
railroad attorney into his Cabinet
The question Of an extra session is still
worrying the Democrats. Some pronounced
lOw-tariff members of the party have had
their enthusiasm dampened considerably
within the last few days by hearing that
President-elect Cleveland is not il accord
with their extra session ideas. He is
afraid OF this rampant element in the party,
aud does not want to rush into legislation
to which the party stands committed. Sem
ator Carlisle, who has been with Mr. Cleve-
land recently, was in the city this week,
ana inasmuch as he does not hesitate TO ex-
press himself on the subject, it is popularity
supposed he speaks with Mr.. Cleveiand's
approval, and reflects TO some degree the
latter's sentiments.
Representative Wilson of West Virginia
Is one of the most prominent advocates of
an extra session. He thinks it would be
very impolitic for the party to place a new
tariff law before the country just before the
Congressional election, which would be the
case if the consideration OF the subject is
postponed until the regular session of Con-
gress next December. He fears for his
party the reverses that met the Republicans
when the Mckinley bill frst went into eff
feet. and was subjected to all sorts of mis-
representations before its benefits could be
appreciated.
