: ably in New York.

Washington, Feb. 2S-The higher Off
Gals of the executive department of the
government holding positions to which
new appointments are made with the ad-
vent of the new administration are gen.
orally engaged in bringing up their odds
and ends preparatory to leaving Wash
ington as soon as their successors are
appointed.
A large proportion will return to the
homes which they left four years ago and
resume the professions which they in
terrupted.
Nearly all the members of the cabinet
have laid their plans for the future and
have put their affairs in such shape as
to enable them to return to the walks
of private life and pick up their business
connections without difficulty.
The premier of the cabinet, Secretary
Olney, will go back to Boston just as
soon as he can close up his household
here and resume the practice of law.
He has had under advisement for long
time an offer from Harvard University
of the chair of international law, but
has finally declined the place.
Secretary Lamont will take an actual
rest for a time after he turns over his
office to Gen. Alger. He has packed up
his household effects and will take his
family on six weeks tour of the south
stopping mostly in Florida. He will
return to New York from this trip and
take actual charge of the various bust
ness interests which he has never alto
gether relinquished during his occupancy
of the Office of secretary of war.
Secretary Carlisle has not yet fully de-
cided whether he will open law office
in New York or LoulsvlIIe, but his
friends think he will finally decide in
favor of New York,
Secretary Herbert has already an
nOunced his intention of opening up a
law office in Washington and taking up
the active business of the profession
which he surrendered four years ago.
Assistant Secretary Doe was also a
lawyer when he was induced to join in
administering the affairs of the war de-
paTtment. He will resume his practice
in Milwaukee.
There are three assistant secretaries

Postmaster General Wilson settled
his plans for the future several weeks
l,.,n
Washington and Lee University at Lex
ington, Va. 1t is an Office to which he
is especially adapted, and both his own
inclinations and those of his family have
always been strongly toward an educa-
tional career. The office pays $4,000 a
year and the presidential residence.
