General and Mrs. Harrison had a moderately early breakfast this morning, and they were scarcely through when the callers began to send up their cards, Very little ceremony was enforced, and callers were not kept waiting an audience. The calle were not those of poli- ticians or office-seekers bent on business only, but merely the preliminary paying of re- spects, What pleased everybody was the sim- ple and unaffected manners of the President- elect and his wife. Most of their visitors were people with whom they were well acquainted here, and there was nothing formal in their C= With this simple cordiality they we started out well ON THE ROAD TO POPULARITY. whose visit might bear some significance. These were Representative Thomas and Sena- tor Palmer, both of whom are Le of for the Secretaryship of the Navy. Their call at this time, however, was apparently merely to pay respects, Mr. Blaine with Mrs. Blaine Pailled later, remaining but about five minutes. Among the other caliers were H. Clay Evans, Representative Lodge, Repre- sentative Kean, Clark E. Carr, Senator Hawley, Gen. Drum, F, Woodrupp, R. R. Shield, Sena- tor Mitchell, Senator Hiscock and Governor Saunders, The men who were there for a pi put off the call until a more opportune moment, A deal of political lanning was going on in the lobby of the Arlington. Some big men had their heads together, and considerable cabinet- making was in progress without the noise of the hammer, SENATOR WINDOM, who is slated for the Treasury, was in close conversation with Elliott F. Shepherd in the lobby. The Senator was calm and contented in manner, and appeared in no undignified haste to present himself to Gen, Harrison. He was watched with that curiosity and interest that attaches to one of the chosen. He is look- ing well and in condition to take a hand in the management of a new administration. Mr. Shepherd seemed deeply interested in what the “ex” and-to-be Secret had to say, and after they separated Mr. Windom paced slowly down the lobby,as if awaiting the arrival of the hour of an appointment. He then went to Gen. Har- rison’s room, remaining with him about twenty minutes. FRIENDS OF MR. PLATT, A more interesting and eager group was in another part of the room. Jobn I. Davenport, ex-Representative McDugall, former United States marshal, and J. N. Knapp, three working friends of Mr. Platt, formed a small triangle with their chairs, and with their faces together conferred about the New York situation and Mr. Platt. They were all deeply interested in the matter under discussion and there was a quiet vehemence of expression at certain points of their conversation. Mr. Davenport had a paper which the three together conferred about. These are not the only Platt men on hand to-day, Fassett and others less known are hard at work in Platt’s interest, and they are determined that New York shall be repre- sented in the cabinet and that Platt shall be the man, No effort will be neglected to bring this about. The contingent is on hand early and they expect to remain, Platt has been tele- greptied for and is expected as soon as he can conveniently get here, THE VICE-PRESIDENT-ELECT is on his way, bulletined to arrive here about 4 o'clock this afternoon.’ He will go at once to the Arlington, where his rooms are, and the Platt men expect him to at once champion their cause. This seems to be the most inter- esting feature of cabinet discussion to-day. It is what is regarded by politicians as & pretty fight. Senator Hiscock is, of course, Platt’s warm friend. He called on General Harrison to-day and, it is supposed, spoke about the New York situation. It appears to be generally ac- cepted that two or three of the cabinet places are still open, none of which, however, will be accepted by Mr. Miller unless he changes what he has declared as his solemn determination, but either of which Piatt would take, HARD TO GET TRUSTWORTHY INFORMATION ABOUT THE CABINET. It is only after it has filtered through several hands, so that the source may not be too read- ily traced, that any information of a reliable character can be had concerning the cabinet. The statement that three places in the cabinet are still held open relies on rumor, supported only by the fact that some very active work is being done in the interest of two or three persons, The friends of Mr. Platt declare their belief that their man will yet be recognized. With the Treasury depart- ment out of the question, the Miller folks ap- pear to take but little interest in the matter. THE STATUS OF MR, THOMAS, as regards the Navy, is in doubs by the fact that Platt is being urged for that place and that Palmer is still spoken of as a possibility. Some of Mr. Thomas’ friends hold, however, that there is no doubt of his selection. The California folks say Swift is apt to go into the cabinet. THE CHOSEN FOUR. The only thing that 1s questioned by no one is that four—Blaine, Windom, Noble and Wa- namaker—are settled comfortably and securely in their places. Miller, of Indiana, is re- garded as selected subject to contingencies that may arise, Gen. Harrison does not appear to have changed much in his habits by a night spent in Washington and not all who see him come away with any notion as to what he is going to do. It willtake a day or two for the cabinet sharps to find just where they stand, ‘THE LATEST REPORT THIS AFTERNOON is that the New York folks, who are at the Ar- lington in force and have taken care to sur- round Gen. Harrison as well as possible, are making a determined effort to oust Windom from the ‘Treasury depart- ment. Some of them claim that they have succeeded so far as to have the ma ter opened for consideration. Their motion is not toinjure Windom, butto get the Treasury left department for New York. It has been conceded for some time tat New York state could not expect that department, and it is not improbable that the present move is not so much in hope of hav- ing the Treasury portfolio laid at their feet as with the idea that by fighting for it they may get something else. It is understood to be a Platt move, and for some time it has been given out that Platt would accept any cabinet place. WHEN HE WILL SEE THEM. While Mr. Harrison's party remains at the Arlington hotel, Private Secretary Halford will see aoueee men only, between 12 and 12:30 noon and 7:30 and 8 p.m. He says that under the present circumstances some such rule is absolutely necessary. EEN Death of an Old Citizen. Another old citizen died last night—Mr. Moses T. Parker, the well-known painter. His death oceurred at his residence, 441 N street northwest. Mr. Parker was a native of Wash- ington, having been born in the west end over seventy-six years ago, When a young man he learned the painting business, which he fol- lowed all his life. He resid years in South Washington, and since y years married a sister of the late Col. Jas. Y. Davis, who, with four chil , survives him. He has been a consistent ber of the Methodist church for over half a century, and for a num- ber of years attached to the Metropolitan. He waa, in the '40’s, an active whig. He was a temperance man, and a member of Pioneer ber of the Oldest Inhabitants’ association, His funeral will ie _ at the Me litan church on Friday rnoon at 8 o'clock, THE INAUGURATION. Chairman Britton Will Meet Mr. Morton To-day. WHY HE HAD THE TRAIN STOP ON MARYLAND AVENUE YESTERDAY—COMMISSIONS YOR THE STAFF OFFICERS—BUNTING, SCAFFOLDING, AXD DBZ. The streets of the city already begin to blos- som in bunting. The scaffolding for private viewing stands are going up everywhere in front of Buildings on Pennsylvania avenue, and make that thoroughfare look as,if it was being newly built, The sleet to-day made much of the bunting hung out by persons who believe in taking time by the forslock hare a led appear ance, but a few sunlight bring back its freshness, TO MEET MR. MORTON, Mr. Britton will meet Mr. Morton, the Vice- President-elect, when ho arrives in the limited express this afternoon. ‘He will come this afternoon,” said Mr Britton to-day, “‘and,” he added with o smile, “he will cometo the de- pot.” Mr. Britton, ‘king to a Star reporter of the occurrence yesterday at the Baltimore and Potomac depot, or rather of what did not occur at that depot, said he Mas willing to take all the responsil re le Bai ie not e: the nrg Tantil 2:30 o'clock, ond was ri ae on receivin; a at o'clock that the train would beta ina few minutes, He just had time, he said, to notify Ms. Lord and others interested and drive to the point where the train was to stop. If he had had time, he said, he would have notified, at least the newspaper men. He was uncertain himself, he said, as to where the train would stop, so uncertain that he and Mr. Myron Parker,’ went to the 6th street station and remained there, so that they might be sure that some one would be there in case the train ran into the depot. Mr. Britton said that the reason for stopping on Maryland avenue was that it was the most convenient leaps where carriages could be driven up to e cars, THE PARTY. The presidential party, he said, consisted of twenty people, of whom only five were gentle- men. The long walk from the car shed of the 6th-street depot to the street outside, when it was considered that there was a wagon load of bundles besides some babies to carry, was quite out of the question, For the convenience of getting them quickly into their carriages after their tiresome jour- ney, it was decided to take them off the trai: on Maryland avenue. g Mr. Britton thought the conditions quite dif- ferent here from other cities, as the citizens here would have Mr. Harrison with them as a resident and could see him at any time, COMMISSIONS AS STAFF OFFICERS. Handsomely engraved certificates of com- missions, with Gen. Beaver’s signature, were sent to all members of his staff. They read as follows: United States of America. This is to certify that has been duly chosen and a pointed to serve as in the parade i the city of Washington at the inauguration o Benjamin Harrison as President of the geht States of America, and o Levi P.

Mr. Brit- ton says the baby is a splendid fellow and be- haved admirably, never making the least fuss. Governor Foraker will arrive here Friday. Capt. Wm. E. Roosevelt, of the staff of Gen. Louis Fitzgerald, of New York, who will com- mand a brigade in the military division, was in the city to-day for the purpose of securing quarters for Gen. Fitzgerald and his staff. Jno. F.

THE DISAGREEMENT ON THE DISTRICT APPRO- 5 PRIATION BILL. The disagreement between the conferees on the District appropriation bill has not changed to-day. The principal points of difference are the streets, the street railroad amendments, the Zoological park and the post-office site, Four Hundred Callers. ‘THE PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION TO-DAY, The best evidence of the steadily-increasing crowds of strangers coming into the city is to be obtained, perhaps, at the White House. where the visitors are daily growing more numerous. It would seem as though those who come to the city for the purpose of getting a glimpse of the President-elect are equally desirious of alee the President and his receptions, which he continues this week, gives them that aif The re- ception to-day was attended by fully 400 peo- ple.

The Secretary of the Treasury has written a letter to United States District Attorney Walker «at New York, concerning the complaints of frauds committed at New York by the improper collection of duties on leaf tobacco, The Sec- retary reviews the proceedings incident to the investigation of these alleged frauds, in which it was clearly proven, as he believes, that frauds actually were committed, The Secretary's letter concludes as follows: “I submit the foregoing facts that you may de- termine whether therein there be evidence to | convict the guilty parties of a violation of the | statutes, This I leave to your better judgment, but I consider that Assistant Appraiser Sturgis , and Examiner Hammill knowingly aided in ad- | mitting this tobacco to entry upon false clasusi- fication and upon payment of less than the amount of duties legully due thercon, and I have therefore caused their dismissal from the ser- vice. Appraiser MeMullin’s attitude toward the | whole matter was one of such indifference and | inefiiciency, a:d this was so in accord with much | of his conduct heretofore, that I procured his | dismissal, but I am not disposed to believe that | he willfully aided in this attempted fraud, and therefore I do not ask you to prosecute him, Upon consultation with the collector you may determine that you can also make a case some of the owners of the tobacco.” -2oo The Eastern Dispensary.
