In the house todny Major MeKinlew of Obio presented a bill extending the time from ten to thirty days during which a vacancy in a cabinet offico may be filled by the transfer of It was adopted without delo; Tomorrow the senate committee on finance will meat to consider the message of Prosi dent Harrison on the subject, and Senators Wasmixoros Bureiu Tis Ourian Bee, } An assistant, today that it was probable the house bill will be promptly reported to the senate and passed. The president can for the present dismiss from his mind the of , Sccre- tary Windom’s successorship. He will not be required to make a nomination il after the close of this congress, March 4, unless he wishes to act sooner. It is belioved that he will send to the senate the nomination of & question seeretary of the treasury during the last week of the session. Senator Spooner of Wiscon- sin has taken himself out of the mouth of the cabinet slate makers by announcing that would not accept the position if it were ten- dered to him, as heis not fitted for routine or departmental work. Besides it is very well known now that President Harrison does not want to take two ofticers from the same state, This fact will put a quictus to the talk of Hon. Johin . New and James N. Huston of Inhiana. Both of these men havebeen favorably mentioned. It is proba ble that Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island would be asked to take the treasury portfolio if it were not for the fact that his suc whether appointed by the governor or elected by the legislature, would be a democrat. Senator Aldrich is thoroughly fitted for the place by natural talent and his training and study, as a member of the senate committee on fluance, at the head of which he has really been for years. A numberdf well known New Yorkers who attended the funeral of the dead secretary todey did some strong talking for Hon. Cornclius N. Bliss of their state They also said the transfer of Secretary Tracy would be popular. It isno sccret that President Harrison has always contended that the ury portfolio should never go to New York, if for no other reason, beeau the state s so much interested in treasur affars and it 15 universally charged that ‘Wall strect has hold of the throat of the gov- nment's treasury. So this should put an to the talk of New York supplying the vacancy. Allthe circumstances consider Representative McKinley of Ohlo stands more marked in the lines of probabilities than any other man. His fitness, by reason of his study of the tarif¥, which is just now the all- fmportant part of the duties of the sc of the treasury, and the general r of the man, together with his close relations with the president, and the further fact that Ohio is not represented In the cabinet, makes it vory likely that the position will ‘be ten- dered to him, especially In view of the exten- sion of the 'time when the nomination must ‘be made. Ohio republicans and personal friends of Major MeKinley doubt whether he would accopt the place if ten- dered to him, as he has been, by acclamation of his party and, farin ad- vance of the openmng of the campaign, s lected for thegubernatorial race in Ohio this fall. Of course, if it should appear to the president that Major McKinley was esseatial 10 republican success in Obio this fall, he would not insist upon his services in the treasury department, Shonld Major McKin- ley not get the place, for any reason, it would create no sarprise if Seeretary Proctor of Vermont should be transferred to the troas ury, Secretary Proctor is splendidly equipped for the off He is a finau- cier and has shown good executive ability in the war department. He is popular and comes from a state with no financial entangle- thent. Proctor is a likely man. o the coun- try at large itis not a matter of import who is called to fill the place vacated by death of Secretary Windom. The policies of the treasury department ave well defined, 7 will be continued under the new head of the department as heretofore, A good and safe man will be selected. Speaking in on a business way, the prosident’s hand wili al- ways appear in' important movements of the treasury department, and affairs will not be changed from what they have been for nearly two years. THE INDIAN VISITORS, The attention being paid to th Sioux war- riors now here from Pine lidee the sub- Ject of comment m ofticial circles, These are the Indians of the day. This evening the Star says “Ihe government's justification in ~taking ‘had’ Indians east woiild probably be found, however, in the tendency to peace which migzht be' expected to follow from the appreciation by them of the numbers and powers of the whites.” It is natural, too, that those who rebolled should be viewed as the best informed concerning the reasons for ro- belling, and that the authorities should wish to discuss the causes of the outbreak with its lenders, Possibly the most effective dis- position of tho ‘bad’ Indian leaders, f it were feasible would bo to hold them as hostages at Washiugton or Chicago all through next spring when there is danger of an uprising and to distribute the good food, black suits and high hats among the faithful working Indians who deserve reward. The Killing of the fatted calf for the prodigal sons among the Indians is seriously overdone, if {tis expected that any of them are to remain faithful and mdustrious. The zoodly raiment of whito hats and medals which the Indian viows as rewards of merit should, ot any rate, be lavishea upon the ‘good,’ more pro- fusely than upen the ‘bad’ Indians, even 1fit bo considered wise to make eastern tourists of the ltter," ALGER A8 A PEACEMAKER. General Alger will arrive here tomorrow and try and steaighten out the embarrassing snarl between Senator Wolcott aud the Mich- igan delegation. Some time ago the Mich- fgan club invited a number of prominent men 10 attend their annual banquet at Detroit on February Senator Wolcott was among those bidden. The club is the leading organ- fzation of Michigan, and its bauguets each year call togothor from six hundred to dight hundred guests. Mr Hurrison W ono of the star speakers while he was in’ the senate and General Logan, Sevators Frye, Manderson, Evaits and others of lesser light have attended from Aime to time. This year the speakers wore to be as conspicuous us ever and Senator Wolcott was down for arattling address, But these arrangements were made prior to Woleott's vote on the force bill. As he was one of the “Big Six” which retired that measure there are many republicins who feel very bitter toward him. Representative Brwwer of Michigan says that if Woleot speaks ot the banquet te will rosign from the club. Repre soutative Allen of Michigan is equally vigorous iu deelaring that it is 1o banguet or no Woleott with bim, The fecling among the Michigan representatives is aboutequally divided, but those who oppose Wolcott op- pore him with an inteasity which would make it very lively in case be attended ‘the banquet. il view of this family disturbance General Alger will come here and try and | _Aatch up a truce.
