UNTIL HIS INAUGURATION
Mckinley VIII Keep the Rest of Ills
Cabinet Nominations Secret.

| Canton. Ohio. February 10 Besides the
announcement OF the gentlemen who have
been rendered a cabinet portfolio Senator
! Sherman for secretary OF state, Nj. Gage
for secretary OF tho treasury. General Al
ger for secretary of war. Mr.. Wilson for
secretary OF agriculture ard Judge Mcken-

pccted that any authoritative statements
will be made soon. II, indeed. before Presi-

Speculative reports which have been sent
out from Canton about Mr.. Hanna for post
master general and other cabinet places
are entirely unwarranted and especially
from the fact that with them Is coupled the
final announcement that the cabinet Is be-

his part is on account Of the senatorial
situation in Ohio and that the final make
up Of the cabinet will depend. in some way,
upon The results Of the appointment OF Mr.
Sherman's successor This Is an unfair az
and an injustice to Mr.. Hanna.
There can be no doubt that the National
chairman at the outset positively and hrm-
ly said he would not accept any cabinet
position whatever, and at that time his
name as TO the cabinet, Immediately ceased
