REASONS WEY IT I8 THOUGHT HE WIL, BE AP POINTED—M'KINLEY FOR SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY—WANNAMAKER TO BE IN THE CAB- INET. Some very interesting cabinet talk is being indulged in by a select circle of well-informed Politicians here. By them three things are re- garded as practically assured. These are: that Mr. Blaine will be Secretary of State after the 4th of March, that McKinley will be Secretary of the Treasury, and that Wannamaker will be in the cabinet, THE BLAINE PROBLEM > has been one that has embarrassed Mr. Harri- son, not, probably, because he does not desire to appoint Mr. Blaine so muchas that he knows there is astrong opposition to the it ment. For some time report was ding steadily to the impression that the Maine statesman would not enter the cabinet. Since more pilgrims have gone and returned from Indianapolis this impression has been weaken- ing. Mr. Harrison may not have told any one what his intentions are, but in an indefina- ble way a notion is formed that he has practi- Sted decided to offer Mr. Blaine the State port- folio. THE REASONS GIVEN BY MR. BLAINE’S FRIENDS why he should be given this recognition are believed to be too strong to be ignored. It has | been represented to Mr. Harrison that to re- fuse to recognize him is to discredit the candi- date of the party of four years ago, which is to discredit the party. While some would cer- tainly be offended at the appointment, more would be displeased at a failure to make it, The facts that the Plumed Knight was the can- didate in '84; that he could have got the nom- ination in ’88; that he is regarded as the fore- most man of ‘the party, and that he not onl; is might to elect Str. Harri. PETE ttt PWECVBWAHAWWAWAAANVAGHHAOSAVWCWWWWNVHWVIARIWANOCLENIAS PIANOS AND ORGANS .. PERSONAL.. WOOD AND COAL HCHO LECT etc i worked with all son, but that he got his friends—many of whom were disposed to sulk—to take an active hand and work with a will, are urged as reasons not to be overlooked. To counteract all this has been held up the bitter antagonism that Mr. Blaine has ores Blaine’s friends reply that if this antagonism is not well founded he will vindicate himself in a short time, overcoming it all. If he cannot overcome it and make a noble record for him- self in the State Department, then, it cae ton Mr. Harrison has four years within which to correct the error of the appointment; that Mr. Blaine will readily and gracefully give way to @ successor at any time Mr. Harrison deems such a step advisable. He might, in fact, re- sign at the end of aycar anyhow. ‘Beyond this another consideration is pointed out as affect- ing the interests of the party, MR. BLAINE IS GOING TO LIVE IN WASHINGTON, whether or not he goes into the cabinet, and whether or not he is inthe cabinet his clan will gather around him, and he will be the center of a magic circle, social and political. He is bound to be a central figure under any circumstances, but he will probably be stronger asa private citizen than he would be in the cabinet. There are bound tobe many disay pointments at the opening of anew eiminie- tration. Necessarily more people will be dis- Pi eer than will have their ambitions satis- fied. All who fail to get what they want will rush to “Citizen” Blaine, whether he likes it or not, and form about him a sort of oppesition to the administration. To conceal their per- sonal chagrin they will charge their failures to the administration's antagomism, not to them, but to Mr. Blaine. They will make him their champion, against his will, and say that he was left out and that they were badly treated be- cause they were friends of his, This would give them a cover for their disappointmentand an object about which to organize. This is one of the very nt omy, reasons presented why Mr. Blaine should be put into he cabinet, With him in the State depart- ment there would be no commanding center — which to organize a sentimental oppo- sition.

Clerks Dismissed at Noon—The War De- partment Holiday Next Week. There was the usual holiday calm in the de- partments to-day. That is there was bustle and movement about the corridors until noon, but there was but little work done. Promptly at 12 o'clock pens were dropped, and outside wrappings donned, and the clerks streamed forth to augment the already large throngs the street. An order fvas issued in the War department this morning notifying chiefs of bureaus that the department would be closed at noon to- day and next Monday}and entirely on Christ- mas and New Year's day. On the four days in- tervening—Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday—the department will, if possible, be run with half force, in view of the general lull in department business, owing to the recess of Congress. That is, one half of the clerks will be excused on the first two of the four days and the other half on the last two. That Army Problem. r WHY THE PRESIDENT CANNOT REVOKE THE AC- CEPTANCE OF A RESIGNATION. ‘The outcome of the case of the a¥tillery cap- tain whose resignation is under consideration in the War department, as heretofore published in Tae Sta, is being watched with interest by army officers generally, A legal point has been discovered in the Secretary's researches that may afford a way out of the difficulty that | befgre seemed without solution, The Court in 1878 decided that after the President had once accepted the resignation of an officer he could not withdraw his acceptance, and only way to restore the officer to his rank in the army was by a nomination to the Sena‘ d a confirmation.

Chicago Business Men Arrested in Con- sequence of Lawyer Cutting’s Disclos- ures. Catcaco, Dec. 24.—As a result of the disclos- ures made by Lawyer Cutting Saturday before the grand jury in the stolen bond case, four men are now under arrest, W. F. Shaw, Henry Plessner, C. D.

Shaw was arrested Saturday night on the train near Indianapolis, and “a brought to Chicago yesterday. He told Inspeetor Bonfield his story last night. He said he received the Kellogg and some other bonds early in September from Taylor, who left them as collateral for a loan.

THE LOSS OF LIFE is not yet definitely known and the prospects are that the exact number who were drowned never will be accurately stated. Thirty-five is the most conservative estimate. Out of a of fifteen white laborers which ‘ded the steamer below Friar’s Point only two are said to have been saved.

Cutcaao, Dec. 24.—A — from Somerset, Ky., says: A trivial quarrel between two women near here Saturday resulted in the fatal stab- bing of one of them and the serious cutting of her two children. Mrs. Frank Stephens, wife of a well-to-do farmer, rented a patch of ‘ound to Mrs. Burchfield. The latter fell be- ‘ind in her rent, and a quarrel was the result. Saturday Mrs. Burchfield was in her field with her two children. Mrs. Stephens ap proached and, after a few words, pulled from a fold of her dress a bowie knife and savagely attacked Mrs. Burchfield, stabbing her in the breast and under the left shoulder blade. Mrs, Burch- field’s little children rushed to their mother's assistance, when the maddened amazon turned on them, cutting both severely, but not danger- onsly. The wounded woman and children were taken to their home. Mrs. Burchfield’s wounds will prove fatal. Mrs. Stephens was arrested, —— eee Mr. O'Kelly Released from Prison. Dusurx, Dec. 24.—Mr. James J.
