ICE IN THE POTOMAC.
No Apparent Danger of a Freshet at Pres.

No Apparent Danger of Freshet at Pres
Officials at the signsl Office informed a STAR
reporter today that there are no indications at
present of freshet in the Potomac. Nothing
has been heard from the observer at Harpers
Ferry for several days. His last report was
that the river was frozen at that point, and the
same condition prevails at present, otherwise
the bureau would certainly have been notified
Lieut. Garriott, in charge Of the Washington
Office, said that In the absence Of information
from Harpers Ferry TO the contrary il must
be accepted as a fact that the recent thaw has
had no perceptible effect on the ice in the upper
river. He said the office realized fully the
great danger TO Washington from freshet
while the river is filed with ice, and that the
observer at Harper's Ferry knows it to be his
first duty to give prompt notice of any threat
ening movement of the river at that point.
He said however. that it would take good
deal more of a thaw than we had yesterday or
today to start general movement of the ice in
the river. Ii is thick that it will take several
days of the present weather TO make danger
Gus impression upon il. heavy fall of rain,
however, would have a most disastrous effect
and it is to be hoped that the river will be prac-
tically clear Of ice before anything of that kind
occurs.

THE CABINET SLATE.
1t is Said to BE Completed II Mr.. Dickinson
VIII Accept.

II is whispered about among the democrats
that Mr.. Cleveland has practically completed
his cabinet slate, and one by one men who have
their hopes. The only thing that holds the
matter open at all is said TO be some unccr-
taipty as to the course Of Mr.. Dickinson. The
slate is said to be made up contingent upon his
acceptance of the state portfolio, and If be ac-
cepts the slate will be turned face down and
allowed to remain SO until the 4th Of March.
The understanding ofthe Michigan people is that
Dickinson will accept, though he has not
formally done go as vet. He Is holding the
matter open as Carlisle did, with the prospect
of a similar result. Some time ago MIR.
Cleveland concluded that lie would not
appoint a southern man TO the position of
Attorney General. but there Is excellent author
ity today Tor the statement that he has recon
sidered this and has slated ex-senator Eustis
Of Louisiana for the place. Eustis an
anti-Cleveland man before the nomination,
aud he and Cleveland were at outs. but the
ex-senator took an active part in the campaign.
and the two men are now on very friendly
terms. III Eustis Is appointed the south will
probably get either the Post Office or the Agri-
cultural Department also. Eustis is out Of
politics in Louisiana and is one of the southern
colony" of New York. 1t is expected that Wall
of Wisconsin will be Secretary of War. GRAY OF
Indiana Secretary of Agriculture and Blount Of
Georgia Postmaster General. This pretty
nearly fills the list, with those who are already
known TO be slated.
1t is understood that Judge Walter Q. Ores
ham will be offered q place in Mr.. Cleveland's s
cabinet. This statement is made on very good
authority.

THE PROPOSED EXCISE BOARD.

The Assessor Thinks Some Other Onicial
Than Himself Should Be on 1t.
Regarding the feature of an excise board in
the liquor license bill now pending in Congress,
Assessor Trimble today presented the following
to the Commissioners:
II beg to suggest that the assessor be not
designated as a member Of said board. The
month Of November is an unusually busy one in
this Office in connection with the preparation Of
tax bills, current correspondence, &c, and there
being about 2s, 900 tax payers to be attended
to during that month, it compels the assessor
and bis entire force to work after regular Office
hours in order to keep the regular current
business up to date. do not believe it would
be possible for the assessor to gise
hat proper care aud scrutiny to the
liquor applications which the law contemplates
without materially interfering with the
other duties, and my suggestion is not
made for the purpose Of avoiding additional
labor. also think that would be inappropriate
for the party charged with the issuance ot
the license to be Q member of said board, and
for these reasons ] suggest that you recommend
an amendment to the bill substituting some
other than the assessor on the proposed board. :"

PENSION OFFICE METHODS,
They Are Severely Criticised by Dr. Ains
worth of the War Department

worth of the War Depart ment.
Dr. Ainsworth. who by a special bill OF Con.
gress has been placed in charge Of the record
and pension division of the War Department
with the rank of colonel, and who
has been intrusted with the en-
tire administration of pension matters as
far as they relate to army records. was exam
ined yesterday before a subcommittee of the
House on the question of transferring the
whole pension system to the War Department.
His evidence was racy.
Speaking of the suggested transfer. he said
$50 far as am personally concerned am op-
posed to it. l don't want it. 1t quadruples
the labor and responsibility. Bnt if Congress
should see fit to exercise its undonbted
righ. and make this transfer it certainly should
provide that the rank and pay Of the chief OF
the fecord and pension Office should
be increased correspondingly with bis
responsibility. He should have the rank
of brigadier general and / should
prefer my present place to the new place with
a major generals commission.
Whether you make this change or do
not make it, one of the first things
you ought to do is to straighten out the
affairs of the pension Office There is an
Office which Of all things ought to be con-
Quoted as nearly like private business concern
possible. 1t has most unbusinesslike
methods and there is one very good reason
for it
