GRESHAM AND CARLISLE.
Practically Settled That They Have
Accented Cabinet Portfolios,

LAKEWOOD, Feb. 12-Josiah Quincy,
who has been In Washington looking after
the silver legislation. came out from New
York to-day on a special train and had a
long talk with Cleveland and Don NJ Dick
inson. Quincy left for New York this
evening and will probably return to Wash
iDgtOn in time TO make final effort for the
repeal Of the Sherman silver purchase act
at this session of Congress.
As yet no official announcement has been
made regarding any one of the portfolios
either by Cleveland or by the gentlemen
who have been asked to enter tie Cabinet.
1t is practically settled, however, that Wal
ter Q. Gresham has been offered the port
folio Of State and has accepted, and that
John G. Carlisle will be Secretary of the
Treasury. These men have admitted
enough TO remove all doubt so far as they
are concerned. AS to the rumors concern
ing Wilson S. Bissell of Buffalo, Hoke
Smith of Georgia. Daniel s. Lamont and
n. A. Herbert Of Alabama, nothing posi-
tive can be learned.
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-The Press special
from Lakewood SAYS: President elect
Cleveland was in an unusually good frame
of mind to-day. Last nights mail from
New York brought him three most impor-
tant letters. The first was from Judge
Gresham, accepting the offer Of the State
portfolio; the second was from Wilson S.
Bssel of Buffalo. accepting the Postmaster
Generalship. and the third was from Hoke
Smith Of the Atlanta (Ga.) journal. accept
ing the portfolio of Secretary of the In
terror. This statement is authoritative.
and comes from one who has seen the let
ters and has had a long talk with CleYe-

FiNANCIER SHERMAN.
He Explains the Proposed Issue
of Bonds.
Only to Be Floated by the Secretary
of the Treasury in Case of
Emergency.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-SenatOr Sherman
was asked this afternoon if the resolution
he introduced yesterday to authorize ths
Government to sell per cent 6ye-year
bonds to maintain specie resumption had
any especial significance.
The legislation sought to be accomp-
lished," said Sherman, "has no object ex-
cept The saving of money to the General
Government The resumption &C. took
place at time when we could not borrow
money at less than per cent and 1t was
thought to be very successful operation
when l was Secretary Of the Treasury to be
able to float bonds at those figures. But
when the funding act was passed no one
thought we could issue our bonds at per
cent and the object of this amendment is to
authorize The Secretary 10 issue bonds al 5
per cent if he finds it necessary to do SO. 1t
simply saves the Government l per cent
interest and limits the bonds TO five years.
Mr.. Sherman, in general conversation. in
dieated that it would be exceedingly bad
policy for the United States to issue long
term bonds a such rates of interest as that
provided in the resumption act simply to
tide over what he and everybody else felt
TO be only a temporary exigency. Sherman
uSC4luSO W cay MHttjitI ne tuVuHHb II
would become necessary to issue any bonds,
though he did not conceal the fact that hs
believed il desirable to arm the Treasury
Department with the power provided by
the amendment offered by Mr.. Sherman.
The act was referred to the Committee on
Finance, Of which he is chairman, and
will probably be reported back to the SEN
ate at an early day. Mr.. Sherman could
not say what action the COMMITTEES
would lake nor when it would report the
amendment.
In view of the fact that the leading Demo-
cratic Senators and Carlisle, the incoming
Secretary of the Treasury, have been in
conference with Foster and that Fosters
have been concUrred in by Carlisle, there
is reason to believe that the proposed
amendment will be favorabIy acted upon,
although the issue of bonds. if Issued at all,
will be postponed as long as possible.

From Minnesota.

Los ANGELES, Feb. 12.-Plans have been
matured for one of the greatest irrigation
schemes ever undertaken in the United
