1t is very well known that Mr.. Cleve-
land has not determined anything final
! ly, but he is hearing the views of demo-
Gratis and has got down to work on his
! cabinet in serious earnest Among his
visitors yesterday We're Senator Brice,
I, Senator Vest, and Senator Gray.
1t will be noticed that the name Of
! Mr.. Whitney, as secretary of state is
withdrawn. Mr. Cleveland is we'll
aware that Whitney has no desire to
enter the cabinet. The most important
| new thing on the list is the name of
| Col Lamont for secretary Of the navy.
A number of naval officers and others
! interested in the department have been
in town for several days and to Il man
! they desire the appointment Of Colonel
! Lamont to the portfolio. 1t is just as
| well to keep your eye on Col. Lamont
+: as the possible head Of the navy de-
: partment.
! Mr.. Cleveland was Informed yesteI-
! day that there was every possibility that
,, Senator Carlisle would accept the port
! folio Of secretary of the treasury. The
kentucky senator has been Informed
| that Nh Cleveland would like him to
take the place. He has had the matter
under consideration for some time, and
one of the senator's friends said yes
| ter(lay that he had about made up his
mind to take the place.
! The visit of Senator Villas to Mr.. Cleye
| land the other day is now understood.
| He and other northwestern democrats
would like to see Justice Pinney of
! Wisconsin made secretary of the in
terror But then. the friends Of Mr..
Morrison, of Illinois would also like to
see Mr. Morrison get it. The demo-
Gratis of that state did some valiant
service this time The name Of Gen.
| Collins for secretary of war is serious
ly regarded. Senator Gray for attor-
noy general and Representative Hatch
| for secretary of agriculture, are con-
Sidored nearer the mark than Jones
and Tucker for either of these places.
From this time on Vltil Mr. Cleveland
! starts for Lakewood in January, the
work of cabinet building is expected to
proceed more rapidly
Senator Brice. of the senate commit
J tee appointed to keep an eye on the
! efforts of the republicans to steal the
United States senate, said yesterday:
81 am certain that the republicans
will be in the minority in the next SEES
sion of the United States senate. [ am
pretty certain that the democrats will
| have a clear majority with the vote of
! Vive- president Stevenson. Nothing eS-
pecially valuable in the contests will
develop until after the legislatures of
Kansas, Wyoming, Montana, and Cali
fornia assemble next month. We will
then know better where we stand and
what steps to take"
| 1t is reported that Speaker Crisp will
run over from Washington next week
to confer with Mr.. Cleveland. Chair
| man William Frank Hal1ity is also
expected here at about the same time.
| Speaker Crisp. it is said, will also meet
! VIM. C. Whitney, and will confer with
! Mr.. Cleveland on the subject of legis-
lation during the present session and
the extra session problem.

DAYS he will be in Washington before
his Inauguration. On the same floor
apartments have also been secured by
