CABINET GOSSIP. ‘The President Will Make His Selections so ‘as to Strengthen His Hold. It is not likely that any one will be able to discover for # certainty whom Mr. Harrison has selected fora cabinet position until after the November elections, but it is believed that he has already made up his mind on the subject. It is*assumed by politicians that the appointments which the now has at his disposal will be dis- tributed with an eye to strengthening his position with relation to « renomination. That Mr. Harrison appreciates the influence of ‘ppointments on politics is shown, it is claimed, by his decision to hold over those he might make at this time until after the No- vember lections. It is generally con- ceded Politicians that Mr. Bisine is the — onl m whom Mr. Harrison bas anythi fear from in the next republi- un national convention and that his in that quarter lies not in Mr. Blaine’s anxie@® for the nomiuation, but in the popular sentiment in favor of the selection of the Maine states- man regardless of his preferences in the matter. MR. BLAINE DOIXO NOTRENG. Mr. Blaine is doing nothing to strengthen or to sustain this sentiment, so his friends say, and it is understood that there will be no resistancé offered to any efforts that be made in behalf of Mr. Harrison to overcome it. It is believed by the politicians that from this time until the meet- ing of the convention Mr. Harrison will devote himself assiduously to strengthening himself in those localities where Blaine has the strongest hold upon the _ people, believing that’ if he can get eupport from one or more of the Blaine strongholds everything else will fall naturally his way. Ho had a little experience of this sort at the last national co: vention. When the California delegation voted for him the rest all came tumbling. THE RAST AND TEE WEST. It is believed that he now contemplates using the two cabinetappointmentsand probablysome of the other appointments to strengthen him- self in New England and on the Pacific coast. Circumstances may arive which will make the esident want Mr. Millor to remain in the cabinet, and of course if they should the — Attorn General would accom- modate himself to the President's interests, but the present expectation of both the President and Mr. Miller is thot the latter will retire from the cabinet to goon the bench. It ir believed then that a California man, probably Mr. Estee, and Gov. Cheney of New Hampshire will be appcinted to the cabinet vacancies. It urged by Senatcr Chandler that the appoint- ment of Mr. Cheney would greatly assist him in hie werk for the President in New England and that Secretary Proctor ie of the opinion. THE CASE OF THE OTTO. Considered a Fair Prey by the British Them: selves. It is stated at the Navy Department this morning that the announcement contained in the published dispatch from Ottawa, to the effect that the British sealer Otto had been seized by the U. 8. 8. Mohican on account of en irregularity in her papers, is without the slightest foundation. Reports have been received at the department from Commander Cotton of the Mohicaft, showing that the Otto was seized August $1 for a violation of the modus vivendi; that she taken in Bering sea, twenty miles northwest of Unimak pass, with full sealing outfit and forty-eight skins on board. It further appears that five days before the seizure Commander Cotton had received an official letter from Commander Turner, senior British naval officer at Ouna- laska, stating that he considered the Otto a just and jawful capture for any vessel of war of either nation. No question arose in reference to her pay The Otto was delivered two days after her capture to the commander of H. M. 8. Pheasant at Ounalaska. THE CHILIAN SITUATION. No Dispatches Received That Indicate Any Pronounced Change. There is nothing in the official dispatches re- ceived at the State-and Navy Departments from Chili to indicate any pronounced change in the situation there so far as the relations between Minister Egan and the junta are con- cerned. The story cabled from Paris that Bal- maceda is in hiding in the United States lega- tion at Santiago is absolutely discredited at the Department of State. Two cablegrams were received at the department from Minister Egan announcihg the suicide of the ex-president, and in addition the ministers from European countries sent the same information in the most positive form to their governments. Although the ways of diplomacy are sometimes a trifle devious, it cannot be presumed for a moment that all of the representatives of the powers in Santiago would unite in a false official statement of fact. Respecting the treatment of refugees alleged to be in asylum in the American legation, it is believed that, no serious opposition will be made by the junta to their safe conduct out of Chili, as this’ practice, although not founded upon absolute right, has heretofore been ob- served in simflar cases without effectual objec- The cruiser San Francisco, havi directly to Valparaiso after touching at is still at the latter port.

Conference of Committeemen—Mr. Ding- man Accepts the Secretaryship. Col. Geo. H. Inniss of Boston, who was a member of the executive commitice that bad charge of the arrangements in that city for the G. A. R. national encampment in 189 and chairman of the entertainment committee, was in Washington yesterday afternoon. He called on Chairman Edson of the citizens’ commiitee and gave Mr. Edson much valuable informa- tion about the way in which the business of en- tertaining the Grand Army was managed in Boston. Col. Inniss is the past senior vice commander-in-chief of the Grand Army and has been department commander of Massachu. setts. He says that already 8,000 Grand Army men in Massachusetts have signified their in- tention of coming to Washington next yearand that there is every indication that the encamy ment in 1892 will be the grandest ever held. Col. Inniss was entertained by local Grand Army men last evening and left the city ona late train for the west. Members of the executive committee had an informal conference at Willard’s Just evening. Chairman Edson and Messrs. Parke, Staples, Saks and Hege were present. The purpose was merely to talk over the work ahead of the committee, and no action was taken on any matter. The main thing to be settled now is the division of work among sub- committees and the constitution of com- mittees. Chairman Edson stated to a Star reporter that the citizens’ committee in Boston Was not organized antil December 6. Still, as it isexpected there will be much more to do here, as the crowds will be greater, it is be- Tieved there is no time to spare. The estimates made by Grand Army men and others as to the probable numbers that will come to the en- campment grow as time advances. Mr. Parke of tue executive committee, who bas been in communication with Grand Army men in New York and Pennsylvania, sw will be an immense number of visitors from those states. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company expects to bring {rot to fifty thousand people bere from Pennsylva- nis alone. The inducement of s one-fare rate Will attract thousands to the city who have no connection with the Grand Army. At the con- ference last night the estimates made of the probable number of Grand Army men and vis- itors varied from 300,000 to 400.000, but no one “sed the figure less than 300,000. The Union cterans’ Union, which will come to their en- campment heve at the same time, will turn out, it is suid, in iarge numbers. The order has a membership of from 35,000 to 40,000. Chair- man Eason has already given considerable thought to the general features of the enter- tainment. It is his view that Pennsylvania avenue should be illuminated at night as no street ever was illuminated before and that the Capitol building should be made as visible, by night as it is by day. ‘embers of the committee think there should be every night on Pennsylvania nue some special attractions or entertain- ments to afford pleasure tc tlte crowds of rest- Jess sightseers. Grand Army men are deeply interested in the coming encampment at seems to be the general impression that If will be the high-water mark of the Grand Army. There will never be another such encampment. It will be the climax. The veterans are getting old and every year more and more of them join the silent arm: MR. DINGMAN ACCEPTS. Mr. Harrison Dingman will attend the meet- ing of the citizens’ executive committee tonight and assume the duties of secretary, to which office he was elected last Thursday bt. Mr. Dingman called on Chairman Edson this morn- ing and notitied Mr. Edson informaily that he would accept.
