 LAKEWOOD, N. J.. Feb. 23.-Mr Cleve- land announced last evening that he had completed his Cabinet by the selection of Richard Olney of Boston for Attorney General and Hilary A. Herbert of Ala bama for Secretary of the Navy.
 The complete Cabinet is as follows:
 Walter Q. Gresham, of Indiana, Secre- tary of State.
 John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, Secre- tary of the Treasury.
 Daniel S. Lamont, of New York, Secre' tary of War.
 Hilary A Herbert, of Alabama, Secre- tary of the Navy.
 Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Secretary of the Interior.
 J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, Secre- tary of Agriculture.
 Wilson H. Bissell, of New York, Post master General.
 Richard Olney, of Massachusetts, At torney General.
 The selection of Hilary \. Herbert for the Navy has been expected for several days, but MT. Olney's name has not been mentioned in connection with the Cabi- net and his selection is surprise to everybody, particular to the friends of George A. Jenks, of Philadelphia, who, it was stated on Tuesday, had been offered the position.
 hoc 1NaaT1 in Con for many years and has acted us Chair man of the Naval Committee of the House. He is thoroughly familiar with the work that has been done toward placing the United States Navy on a proper footing, and his knowledge of the present condition of the vessels under construction, and which have been planned, makes him n most desirable man for the head of the Department.
 His selection is also practically 8 pro motion.
 Mr. Richard Olney is one of the leading practitioners of the Massachusetts bar. He has not held any political position or been prominent in political matters, but is known as one of the leading lawyers and substantial citizens of Boston. MT. Olney has at least twice refused a place on the bench of the Massachusetts Supreme Court, and when the last vacancy occurred Ill the OIlCe or Snlel Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States he was very prominently mentioned in connection with that place. These offers he has refused and has de- voted himself diligently to the practice of his profession.
 At present he is general counsel for the Boston & Maine railroad, the Atchison, Topeka SS Santa Fe and the Chicago, Burlington X Quincy roads, succeeding in the latter position the late Sidney Bartlett.
 MT. Olney has always, so far as is known, affiliated with the Democratic party, except when the party ill Massa' chusetts took Gen. Butler for its guber- material candidate. He then refused tc support the nominee of the party. Mr. Olney was born in Oxford, Mass, in 1885, graduated at Brown University, class of 1856, and at Harvard Law School in 1858.
 His selection gives New England rep resentative in the Cabinet, and that of Herbert gives the South three positions. Mr. Clcveland's callers yesterday were l Daniel S. Lamont and Mrs. Lamont | who arrived from New York at 3:3O nc | left at D. m., and Father Larkin and Capt. F. J. Cunningham, of Washington Father Larkin is an eX-chaplain in the army, and Capt. Cunningham has posi- tion in the War Department.
 Their call was, they said, purely 1 patriotic visit to the PresideEt-elect or | Washington's Birthday. MT. Cleveland remained at home all day.
