Washington. Jan. 13.-The opinion
Among those who claim to know Is that
Senator Sherman will be offered and
will accept the secretaryship of state
In Mr.. McKinley's cabinet, and thai Mr..
Hanna will not be one OF the cabinet ad-
visers of the next president.
1t is believed to be certain that Mr..
Hanna VIII be appointed as the success
or of Mr.. Sherman in the senate. a
place which he very much prefers to
any portfolio which the president-elect
could offer him. Inasmuch as the sena-
torial appointment would have to be
made bH Governor Bushnell, the ar
rangement herein suggested Is said to
Indicate the friendly feeling which Sem
ator-elect Foraker has for the presi-
1ent-elect and for the chairman Of the
national committee.
Regarding the selection of Cornelius
N. Bliss of New York for .c-,etsry Of
the navy, 1t Is said that MI. Bliss has
been offered the place, but that he de-
ferred his acceptance until he could as
certain whether he could SO arrange his
business affairs as to permit of his taxi
Ing the place.
General Alger of Michigan is counted
as certain to be secretary OF war.
The latest name to be considered in
connection with the treasury depart
ment is that of Senator Cullom Of ILL.,
nois. II there appears to be some
ground for this talk. The senator re-
Gently returned from Cleveland, where
he saw Mckinley, but he declines to
make any statement as to what was said
at the conference. 1t is understood.
however, that the president-elect dis
| pnSSaH with Nv rn11nn Sha TIA m -
tion Of some eighteen or twenty men he
has in mind. 1t is known thai no tender
OF the office was made to Mr.. Cullom,
but there was an intimation thai the
senator should consider whether he
could see his way clear to take the place
should he be called upon.
Mr.. Cullom has four ear more OF his
present term in the senate. His possi-
bic withdrawal from the senate is quiz
city discussed by his colleagues, a
member Of whom advised against leav-
ing. One of the senator's friends, quite
close to Mckinley, who recently visited
Canton, is authority for the statement
that It, would be well to keep Mr.. Gull
iom IN mind. He has long been identi-
fled with h committee on appropria-
lions and has madea study Of the finan-
cial question. He is thoroughly ground
ed in the republican fiscal policy and
would, his friends say, make an eff
Gent officer. in whom the east would
have implicit confidence.
John Dalzell of Pittsburg is the only
Pennsylvania now prominently iden-
tilted with revenue affairs. He has at
tanned an enviable position on the re-
publican side Of the committee on ways
and means and was spoken of for the
Craftsmanship of hat committee when
the present congress convened in De-
cember, 1895. His knowledge OF v
affairs would make him eligible for
the treasury portfolio. although the OPP
position Of Quay might prevent his Sc
lection. At any rate Dalzell is men.
toned as n likely to be selected fol
that portfolio. 1t seems that Mckinley
has rendered the treasury to fv men,
who have declined. The only living ex-
secretary of the treasury. Charles Fos-
ter OF Ohio. is a good man. and q
personal friend of Mckinley. but is not
available because Sherman. another
Ohio man. is expected to go into the
cabinet as secretary of state. There.
fore, looking over the entire field Of
capable e Dalzell seems to be in or.
der. It is no claimed that the position
has yet been rendered to him.
