wishes to go to Washington. His
mother, wife, brother and nieces will
of his mother Mr.. Mckinley has made
special request of the Pennsylvania
road that the train bearing the party

ule in order not to have too great a

Major Mckinley has requested that,
if possible, the special train leave Can
ton at p. m. on the afternoon Of
March l and the running time be ar
ranged so that the train shall arrive in
Washington about II a. M, March @.
Major McKinley's escort will leave
about four or five hours ahead Of the
presidential train, in order that the es-
cort may arrive in Washington in time
to get off the dust of travel and make
a presentable appearance when 1t ac-
companies Major Mckinley from the
depot to the Ebbitt, where his quar-
ters have been engaged.
Chairman Hanna will leave Cleveland

fore Major Mckinley and will be on
hand to ride with him to the latter's
hotel The infantry escort, the Eighth

ahead of Major Mckinley on special

Senator Sherman this afternoon au-
thorized the United Associated Presses
to positively announce that he had ac-
cepted the portfolio of state.
Major Mckinley and Senator Sher-
man in their conference to-day dis
cussed many men and measures. The
formation of the cabinet was the main
topic of conversation. Senator Sher-
man afterwards said that appointments
and the organization Of the work in his
department would not be considered
:, until after the inauguration. 1t is un-
dcrstood that the appointment of a
Sic+o ~ o,,yy yyo NOT 6iS.
cussedT to-day, but the gossips have it
that John Rusaell Young of Philadel-
phia is under consideration. Mr.. Sher-
man was in excellent spirits and SEEM
ed full of vigor.
The visit of Ex-Governor Long is con-
'strued to mean that he is not unwilling
to accept place in the cabinet. 1t
may be deemed reasonably certain that
Mr.. Long will be a New England mem
Der of the cabinet. Major Mckinley
and Ex-Governor Long had a long talk,
and the latter left for the east by way
of Cleveland at $40.
1t is not thought that the particular
place which is likely to be offered Gov
ernor Long has been determined. No
tender of portfolio was made to-day.
Governor Long said he simply came to
confer with Major Mckinley.
Senator Burrows came to see the
president-elect in the interests of Cen
eral Alger, whom he hopes will be ap-
pointed secretary of war. Senator Bur-
rows did not indicate that the portfolio
had been rendered General Alger, but
the belief is strong here that it will be.
The differences between Senator Sher-
man and General Alger have been ad-
justed.
John Milholland, who is said to be a
candidate for collector of the port of
New York, called on Major Mckinley
to-day.
