doris, Soon to He Named! s

Washington, March 10. All Of the
officers Of the new cabinet have indi-
Gated q purpose to 90 very slowly In
the change Of the personnel in their
departments. This not very cheerful
news to Office seekers has been COM
municated directly to many Of the as,
pirants who have been unable to re-,
press their ambitions, and to add to-
their discomfort It Is intimated &n'
some quarters that there are to be
very few changes in Office save where
the incumbent insists upon immediate
retirement, for some time to come.
This may be an over-eetimate Of the
conservatism displayed by the admin,
istration, but 1t is recalled that Mr.
Mckinley before his Inauguration held
to the view that the change of office
with all Its accompanying confusion.
and disarrangement Of business, should,
not be undertaken until the tariff bill!
Is enacted. This view is Brought
freshly to mind by the statement made
that prominent assistant secretary in
one of the executive departments has
been asked to remain in his place for
five months.
1t is expected that Mr.. John Hay,
will be named ambassador to Great
Britain and Horace Porter of New.
York, ambassador to Paris, and then.
there may be few other nominations,
including Mr.. Powell Clayton of Ar
Kansas as minister to Mexico. One Of
the most important missions the presi-
dent will have to fill will be that Of
minister to Spain. In view of the
Cuban instruction this post is one de-
mandirg the exercise Of great tact and
skill, and the indications are that Mr.,
Mckinley will go very slowly and de-
liberate in changing our minister
there. Few of the thousands Of APP
pltcations for Office mention the posi-
which seems not to be in great de-
mand. and it ie certain that up to SHn-
day Mr.. Mckinley had no one in mind
for 1t. !:
President Mckinley has definitely
settled upon j. III. Brigham of Ohio for
assistant secretary of agriculture, and
the nomination doubtless will be sent
to the senate within few days. Mr..
Brigham is master of the national
grange.
