New York, March 1, 11 a. m—The, business doing in the stock market at the opening this morning very small, but first prices as com- pared with the closing figures of last nigbt were firta, most stocks showing advances extending | to ofr cent.

HARRISON'S ULTIMATUM TO THE WARRING FAC- TIONS—SUIFTING ABOUT—PALMER YOR AGRI- CULTURE AND CLARESON FoR INTER‘OR—W. H. M, MILLER MAY BE LEFT OUT, The cabinet would now be made up but for the New York muddle, Everything else is about eettled. As it appears now, Gen, Harri- son himself is as much in doubt as anybody as to how that difficulty is to be overcome. The | New York men are still confusing things with their local biekerings, but still holding on. The chances are that if they get anything Mil- | ler, of Indiana, will be sacrificed to them, It | is a matter of the gravest doubt, however, whether they will ever come to an agreement, Platt and Miller are both out. Neither can get a place in the cabinet. The friends of both are working with all their might, but there is no sign of harmony between the two camps, Late last night and early this morning they conferred and struggled with the difficulty, The Platt men were the first on the field in force, but the Miller men now have the strongest sortof re- inforcements from the Union League club, but the most either faction hopes for is to get a representative in the cabinet—the principals are out of the qnestion, THE PLACES THAT ARE OPEN for them to choose between are the Navy de- partment and the Attorney-Generalship. But | the conditions are positive and will not be mod- | ified, They must agree upon a man who will | not be distasteful to either faction. If they find such a man Mr. Miller, of Indiana, will not get into the cabinet, but will be solicitor gen- eral, If they fail—and the look towards failure is promising—Law Partner Miller will be Attor- ney-General, ‘That is the present arrangemen and when that question is settled the whole thing will be settled. WHAT SENATOR QUAY WANTS. | There has been some shifting about, and but | for this one feature the whole cabinet matter looks clearer. Quay comes into the fight not | on account of Wanamaker, or even so much to | settle the New York matter, though his ser- | vices were sought for that, but to put Clark- | son, of Iowa, in the Interior department. If | Clarkson does not get the place nothing else | will. please Mr. Quay, and then “something may happen.” "The readjustment of assign- ments that has been made throws the Interior | department open to Clarkson, and it is qui possible that the matter has gone further than | is generally known. PALMER FOR THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Palmer is now a certainty for the agricultural department. He has accepted. Noble has been transferred from the Interior Department, | according to the Quay plan, and is floating be- | tween the Navy and the Attorney-Generalship. If New York can agree wpon a man, Noble 1s | | booked for the place they do not select. If | New York is left out, Miller, of Indiana, is | beaket for Attorney-General and Noble for the The | report, and this motion was carried by a vote | berger and Webb; and there is every reason THE WEBB NOMINATION. An Executive Session of the Senate : District Committee. The Senate District committee was in execu- tive session this morning from 10:10 until 11:35. The committee lacked but one, Mr. Chace, of being complete. It was not the intention of the committe to give any time to legislative business. 80 as soon asa quorum developed, the nomination of Mr. Webb, which was lifted from the table a week ago, was taken up and discussed. It was at once evident that the opponents of Mr. Webb were in a minority, but it was a vigorous minority. It met the argu- ments of the majority with a promptness that was rather obstructive to the smooth course which Mr. Riddleberger and Mr. Farwell had laid out for the nomination. At times the debate become warm but those — were exceptional, It was finally moved Mr, Riddleberger that the committee report ¢ nomination to the Senate with a favorable of 6 to 2. Those who voted in the aftirmative were Riddleberger, Vance, Daniel, Faulkner, Harris, and Farwell, The negative votes were cast by Messrs. Spooner and Ingalls, There will probably be an executive session this afternoon, and if there is, air. Riddleber- ger will endeaver to report the nomination. AN IDIPRESSION THAT TRE NOMINATION WILL NOT Go THROUGH. The general impression is the Senate seems tobe adverse to the confirmation, and this | opinion comes from democrats and republicans alike. The session is so near its close that ob- structive tactics of the simplest kind would effectually shut off the joint hopes of Riddle- for supposing that the necessary obstruction will make its appearance at the proper time. A RENEWED DEAL. Every endeavor is being made to fix up alast- ing combination between the friends of Com- missioner Webb and the devoted followers of Mr, Stevenson, and if such a deal can be con- summated, the probabilities would seem to be in favor of the confirmation of both. To the proposed trade there is. however, a very pow- erfal opposition, ‘a minority in fact, but it is one of those minorities which is more powerful than the average majority, IF MR, WEBL'S NOMINATION IS REPORTED TO-DAY, as it undoubtedly will be, if there isan execu- tive session, then the commissioner's opponents will object to its consideration, That action will throw the matter over for one day, and it is extremely dubious as to whether there will be any executive business transacted to-morrow, for the clams of neglected legislation are pressing the Senate heavily just now and will continue to do so until the end is reached. If, however, there should be an_ executive session on Saturday then the opposition will be more vigorous th ‘ver and no ‘‘deal” nor compro- | mise will receive any consideration whatever, THREE OF THE MOST PROMINENT DEMOCRATIC SENATORS this morning expressed their feelings on the | NEARING THE DAY. Rushing Preparations for the Inaugura- tion Ceremonies. BEAUTIFUL DECORATIONS OF THE STATE, WAR AND NAVY DEPARTMENT BUILDING — NOTES FROM HEADQUARTEES—CROWDS POURING INTO THE crt, ‘The decorations on the State, War and Navy building will undoubtedly be very handsome. ‘The north and east fronts will be draped with flags and banting, and the whole will present a beautiful effect, Superintendent Williamson has devised a scheme of arrenging the fiags that will be interesting to all. On the Navy front the flag staff is to be surmounted by one of the largest American flags obtainable, while from the shoulder from which the time-ball bread each day, will be fastened four sets hbalyards, each running to a corner of the balcony. The one on the southeast eorner will contain four flags, reading in the language of bunting: ‘The President will Arrive.” The unfinished sentence wil! be found in the three flags on the northeast halyard, which will read: “At 12 meridian,” thus giving information of value to such of the enormous crowd in sight as may be versed in this tongue. The four flags on the southwest signify: ite the President,” and four on the northwest: “Cheer!” On the north or War department front the great American banner on the central staff will be flanked on each corner of the parapet by a smaller flag representing the four arms of the service—cavalry, infantry, artillery, and signal corps. THE PRESIDENT AND GEN. HARRISON have agreed upon their program for inaugura- tion day. Mr, and Mrs, Cleveland will remain at the Monday morning. capitol Mr. Cleveland and President Harrison will return to the executive mansion, and will there partake of a light lunch, to which no guests are invited. This will but afew minutes andthen the ex-President will take leave of his successor and drive to Secretary Firchild’s residence. President Harrison will, then proceed to — the | reviewing stand, north = of __—the mansion and there review the parade. Mr. and Mrs, Cleveland have decided not to attend the inaugural ball, and will go to New York on ‘Tuesday or Wednesday. THE TREASURY STANDS. Chief Clerk Youmans bas prepared a set of regulations governing the admission to the ‘Treasury building and adjacent stands on inau- uration day. The stands are located as fol- lows: “*A,” at the southeast corner of the build- ing; “B,” the lower tier of seats on loth st by south of the main door; " lower tier on 1oth street, north of the main entrance; “D,” upper tier on 15th street; “E.” at the nortir-east cor- ner; “F,” center of the north front; G” north- west corner of the building.

The past twenty-four hours has been proba- bly the most perplexing period of General Harrison's life. He has stood firmly against the siege of the swarm of New Yorkers who still buzz and grumble about the hotel lobby. He told them what he would and what he ‘would not do. ‘That ended it with him, and he has had to listen to arguments—and grumbling. At midnight he was walking the streets to shake off the recollections of the day; but then he was srobebly not free from cabinet talk, for Editor Murat Halstead was with him, It is well under- stood now that Ohio is not to get a cabinet place, but Mr. Halstead is expected to go abroad, Atter the strnggle last night the New York men hung about the lobby this morning in a | languid, dishoartened sort of way, trying to get their breath for the last trial to-night.’ Some of them didnot get down to breakfast until nearly 1 o'clock.

The fact has just developed this morning that when Senators Cameron and Quay at- tempted to combine with the democrats last night, in executive session, they found that the sword they proposed to use wasa double-edged weapon. ‘he question sefore the Senate was ‘Shall we discharge the District from further consideration of the W nation?” and on this the Penneyly signified their willingness to vote “aye. or four republicans at once gathered around them and tried to get them to reverse the decision, but the outlook did not seem to be atall hopeful.
