LAKEWOOD, N. J., Feb. 14-President-
,lect Cleveland officially announced the
names Of four members of his cabinet
through the Associated Press this evening.
Walter Q. Gresham of Illinois, Secretary of
State; John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, Sec
retary Of the Treasury; Daniel 8. Lamont
Of New York, Secretary of War; Wilson s.
Bisssu Of Buffalo, Postmaster General.
On making the announcement Mr.. Cleve-
land said: There is no need of any
mystery in regard to the cabinet and it is
useless to speculate and indulge in guess
work. shall make no secret of the matter,
but shall announce the names Of the gentle
men selected to fill the position as fast as
receive their acceptances and per-
mission to make the matter
public" MIR. Cleveland would say
nothing in regard to the other positions or
nection with them. 1t is evident that Hoke
Smith, Hilary A. Herbert and others, who
have been mentioned, are still under con-
sideration. A conference, which will prob
ably settle Hoke Smiths chances one way
or the other, will be held at Mr.. Cleveland's
office in New York some day this week.
Senator Gordon and other southerners will
be present. q 8s 4F
ATLANTA sTILE. AERIN aog aAITH.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb 14.-Fresh vigor
was infused into local cabinet speculation
to-day when it leaked out that Hon. Hoke
Smith, who has been slated as Secretary of
the interior in the Cleveland official house
hold, had quietly left the city yesterday
afternoon for Washington. Mr.. Smith
left word with the employees Of his
paper 90 say nothing of his de-
psrture, but it came out to-day
that he had gone east IN response TO tele-
grams from Mr.. Cleveland's advisers and
that an appointment was made for the Geor-
rian TO meet the President-elect in New
York tomorrow. There has been all sorts
Of speculation in regard to the trip. some
advancing the belief that it means a change
Of appointment for Mr.. Smith, but whether
the change Is of his own asking or OF the
President-elect's will, is Of course on the next
page. 1t is known that Mr.. Smith prefers
the attorney generaIship, and his closest
friends have never lost hope that he would
get his desires. There are others, however,
who predict that his hasty summons to the
presence Of the chief means simply formal
tender Of the interior department and dis
cussion as to further cabinet work.
GOSSIP AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Hoke Smith was
here to-day, but as he came from Atlanta
and not from New York he had no cabinet
nsws.
The cabinet gossips who think that Con-
necticut man is to be in the cabinet, and as
they think, probably Secretary of the
Navy, brought out to-day the name of ex-
Representative Carlos French, who, as
national committeeman for Connecticut is
believed to have had 80 much to do with
carrying that state for Mr.. Cleveland. Mr..
French is able to maintain the social tradi-
tions Of the place, and the only objection
which occurs to any one is that he is no
longer young.
