of the ways and means committee. will
succeed Mr. Carlisle secretary of the
treasury under Mckinley. He has. hesi-

health could not endure the strain, but he
seems to have discovered that the expert
ment will not endanger his life. and it is
given out tonight, with every appearance
of authority, that he has concluded TO ac-
cept the portfolio.
The friends of Senator Allison are again
coming to the front with denials that he is
going into the Cabinet. alleging that, in the
first place, he has no desire to do so and
would not accept place, and, second,
that Major Mckinley regards his presence
in the Senate as Indispensable to the pass
age of a new tariff bill. Senator Allison
himself has not said anything one way or
the other. but his position would seem to
be understood by his friends
