oLEvELAND's CABINET.
Robert NJ. McLane of Maryland May
Be Secretary of State.


Be Secretary of State.
WARRINGTON, Jan. 14.-There Is, of
course, no truth in the published state
ment that Senator Carlisle. coupled with
his acceptance of the offer by Mr.. CIeve-
land of the secretaryship of the treasury,
proviso that MIR. Cleveland should support
him for the democratic nomination for the
presidency in 1895. Mr.. Carlisle 1t ought
20 be needless to say, 10 not the man to
make such proposition any more than
Mr.. Cleveland is the man to receive it.
Whatever provisos Mr.. Carlisle may have
made in accepting the treasury portfolio
related either to his own work in that de-
partment or to the selection of other mem
bers of the cabinet. Whatever tIey were,
they were not formal iunputations, but sug-
gestions as to Mr.. Carlisle's preferences in
the premises. AS yet, no one here has any
Information that Mr. Cleveland has
settled on any one for his cabinet besides
Mr. Carlisle and Col Lamont. Henry Viii
lard at last denied to-day the report current
for some time that he would be in the cabi
net. Now that it is understood that Col.
Lamont prefers to be Secretary OF War
rather than Secretary of the Navy, the
prospect that the navy portfolio will be
rendered 30 A. j. Cassett OF Philadelphia
h hregarded as probable.
M'LANE FOR SECRETARY OF STATE.
It is intimated that Mr.. Cleveland is con-
sdering the name of Robert NJ. McLane of
Maryland, who after having been governor
and representative in congress was ep-
pointed by Mr.. Cleveland minister to
rstaryship Of state. Mr.. Cleveland
was gratined by the knowledge that
when Mr.. McLane Aas minister to France
ne made most enviable reputation among
the diplomats on the continent, and he be-
heves him TO be regarded In Europe as thor
oughly equipped for the administration Of
the state department.. Mr, Cleveland be-
leves himself that Mr. McLane has just the
abilities and qualities necessary for the
place, and may come around to offering it
to him. He has already sounded Senator
German on the subject and found Senator
9orman heartily In favor of the idea. Mr..
hoLane himself is now In Paris and would
prefer 20 remain there an minister to
France, but if, as stated, Mr.. Whitney
wants the French mission, Mr.. Whitney
VIII, OF course, get It,
