ONLY ONE PLACE IN DOUBT

The Cabinet Slate, with Ono Exception, Remains as Announced Yesterday. ToTcrful Influences Have Been at Work in Be half of Ex-Gov. Rusk, of Wisconsin, and He May Be Made Secretary of Agriculture. Probability that Mr. James N. Huston Will Be Given an Important Position. President Cleveland Returns the Direct-Tax Bill to the House with a Statement of Reasons for Declining to Sign It. HARRISON'S CARIM2T. The Slat Is Unchanged, Except that Rusk May Be Given Palmer's Place. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington', March 2. Interest in the composition of President Harrison's Cabinet became intense to-day. Although it was very generally known that the slate sent in these dispatches last night was ab solutely correct, there was an inclination on the part of many prominent Kepubb'cans to break down ono Diece of it if possible, and there was some pretty Hvely work put in about General Harrison's iicadquarters from 10 o'clock this morning till 4 o'clock this afternoon, when, by almost unanimous consent, operations were suspended. The, onslaught was made on tho Secretaryship of Agriculture. Senator Palmer's name was very acceptable, in general terms, to tho public, but there were two or three States not satisfied with being passed over. Among these wero California, Nebraska and Wisconsin. A gentleman who has taken a very prominent part in the formation of this Cabinet, and who. to all outward appearances, has done very little, is ex-Senator Saunders, of Ne braska, the father of liussell B. Harrison's wife. The stately form and white head of this old statesman have been seen llitting through tho corridors and into and out of tho rooms at the Arlington very actively duripg the past forty-eight hours. It was known to all who have kept run of the work being done that Mr. Saunders was advocating tho selection of ex-Governor I? urniss, of Nebraska, for Secretary of Agriculture, It was not till this afternoon. however, that it becamo known to any considerable extent that the work of tho Nebraska delegation in Congress was having effect. At 3 o'clock the friends of rurmss announced that that gentleman had as good chances for beincr Secretary of Agriculture as Senator Palmer. At that hour Senator Spooner again put in his appearance at tho Arlington, and was admitted to General Harrison's room. The Senator announced privately to some of his friends, just before this call, that he in tended to make one more appeal in behalf of Governor Rusk. No man, unless, possibly, it be ex-Senator Saunders, has worked with as much energy and de termination for a Cabinet officer as Senator Spooner. Ho began his labors two months ago, and has kept them up diligently, and has succeed in removing every obstacle placed in his way except the one of geogra phy. If Michigan was to come into the Cabinet, it has been well known here for some time that, on account of the close proximity to that State of Wisconsin, Rusk would be left out. During tho past three or four days it has been a struggle. geographically sneakmtr. between Michigan and Wisconsin. Senator Palmer was not a real candidate for any place in the Cabinet till night before last, when, becoming somewhat vexed over the indorsement of Rusk by Sonator Stockbridge, Palmer announced openly that bo was a candidate, and wanted to win if he could. His 6ecretarv sent a number of telegrams to prominent Republicans in Michigan, which havo had the effect of pouring into General Harrison an avalancho of indorsements. The only obstacle that has remained in the way of the Michigan Senator, after he took precedence over Rusk, of Wisconsin, was iu tho argument that tho position could, politically, bo placed to better advantage. It was held that Michi gan am not cot the place for political purposes, and besides. Palmer had not been as heavily indorsed by his own constituents as some other men. When Senator Spooner emerged from General Harrison's roomsheboroa smilo of contentment. It was then announced that the name of Rusk had been placed ou the slate instead of Palmer. California lo6t all hope, vesterdav. and till noon to-day, when there was a conference held at tho Uapitol, which was attended by most of the Republicans iu Congress from me racinc siope. n was reported that Swift, of California, was again being considered by General Harrison, and with tho prospect of receiving favorable action. A delegation was again dispatchcdjto the Arbeen an exceedingly busy period at tho Ar lington tor three uays, but the climax was to-day. It was reported that General Harrison desired to completo his Cabinet finally and forever before Sunday; that whatever doubt might exist as to any individual whom he had selected would bo disposed of before darkness came on to-night. Ihis made tho workers extremely active. During the dav it was reported that Mr. W. II. II. Millernad refused to accept tho AttorneyA V 1 A A . gcnerais uip on xne gxounu mat it was oesr, politically, to pass over the State, bnt afi I 1 A. J 1 A. 1 ' A 1 terwaru tue report was urmiy conirauicieu. Chairman Huston, who is now in the city, has been tendered a position, which it is nrobablo he will accent, althoucrh he states mat ne is not a canuiuaio ior any iavorana docs not want the place named. It is very safe to predict that Mr. Huston will bo . 1 A JP . . . 1 Assistant Secretary of tho Treasury, treasurer or First Assistant Postmaster-general. At 4 o'clock public opinion settled down to the belief that General Harrison had finally and for nil time selected his Cabi net, it was considered absolutely certain that Mr. Ulalne will be becrctary of state: Mr. winaom. becretarv ot mo Treasury: Mr. Noble. Secretary of the In tenon Mr. wanamaker, rostmaster-general; Mr. Proctor, becrctary of war: Mr. Miller. Attornev-eeneral: Mr. Tracy. Secretary of tho Navy, and Governor Husk. Secretary of Agriculture the same slate mentioned in tneso oispaicnes last mgnt, wiin mo ex coption of Rusk substituted for Palmer. The friends of Swift. Palmer and r urn isshadnot. however, given up all hope. Tho indorsers of the latter were, indeed. somewhat conudent that at last their man would be substituted. Ex-Go"ernor Albert G. Porter, of In diana. who has been frequently mentioned abroad, said to your correspondent to rn Kht: "It was Ueneral Harrison's purpose to announce his Cabinet before he left Indianapolis. He was only prevented from doinir so bv the New York complication. I presume if ho had mado his announcement in Indianapolis he would have passed over ftcw lork entirely, ana included Mr. Swift, of California, and that he would havo had Rusk for Secretary of Agriculture. I thouiiht that it would be wise for him to announce his Cabinet befor coming here, as it would relieve him of immense trouble, and I am sure it would bo a wise thing for him to make public his selections the very moment they aro nnai. Tho New York trouble has been as aniicabl v settled in tho selection of General Tracy an it could havo boen if anv one was to be chosen. It strikes me, however, that there

would have been less complaint and ruoro general satisfaction if tho Stato had been passed over entirely, and liberally treated with minor oilices. 'There could have been no jealousies, no strifes and no splits which might arise if any one was selected."

it cannot be learned, to-night, lust wno urged tho selection of General Tracy, in fact, it is not believed that ho was tho choice of any faction, or that ho has re ceived the indorsement of anv considerable number of men who constitute the factions in that State. Tho only criticism over his selection which is ppokeu of freely is on account of his not being as activo in politics as many other men who havo been presented for a Cabinet portfolio. His ability and integrity and Lis admirable political record, are pointed at by friends as ample testimony that any political recognition of him could not bo amiss. He was one of tho famous COG at Chicago, in INrO. It is stated late to-night that the ouestion of who shall be Secretary of Agriculture has been postpor.sd till to-morrow. In the 6amo connection it is stated that exGovernor Rusk, of Wisconsin, will in all probability be chosen. An Kxchange of Courtesies. Washington, March 2. Central Harrisons formal call on the President this morning was made at 11:30 o'clock, in company with Secre tary Ilalford and Colonel Brltton. President Cleveland received his visitors In the Blue Par lor. The call did not last nioro than live min utes. At 4:30 this afternoon Presi dent Cleveland, accompanied by Col. Jolm M. Wilson, made a return call on General Ilarrison. This time tho President and tho President-elect had a ten-minutes conversation. In the late afternoon General Harrison took a short drive, and retnrned to dino at 6:30 p. M. I le was closeted with Mr. I Ialf ord for two hours, and retired before 11 o'clock. Mrs. Harrison Informed a representative of the press to-night, that Sunday would be aevoted to rest. General Harrison was present eu to-uay wnn a cane which was snven to the President-elect s prandfathcr on tho 4th of March, 1S41. It was handed to General IIarri!on to-day by Mr. E. C Kuipht. of Philadelphia, who received it Ironi the llolzl)eck family, the original donors. The Vice-president-elect and Mrs. Morton spent most of the day at the home of Mrs. John McLean. They toolc luncheon ana dinner wiin her. Tho demand for 6eata In the Senate f hambcr and on the platform durintr tho inauirural cere monies, Monday, has been so great tnat colonel cauaaay, tne sen-can trawirms of the Senate, has been driven almost to distraction by the incessant iraportuniugs of thnKPi desiring nafite.lionraa. There nro l.f07 issued tickets, including tho press. It Is said that some members of the House, inclined to thrift, are disposing of their tickets at the rate of sr-JD each. Ono gentleman bougm six ticKcu at this rate from a member of the House to-day. In the office of eerpeant-at-arms Canady, todav. stood an old-fashioned leather-cushioned revolving arm-chair, which attracted no atten tion until the visitor was told that it was the chair In which George Waphington was inaugurated in 17sj, una that it would be used by General Harrison during tho ceremonies. B. F. Southwick, of New 1 ork, is its owner. In 1875 this chair was used at the in augural ceremonies of General Grant, ana m 18S1 at the inauimral ceremonies of General Garlleld. THE HARRISONS ARK ALL RIGHT. They Are Good Americans, and the Wash ington Publio Likes Them. Special to St. Ixrais Globe-Democrat. The presidential party have more than atoned for the reception committee's mistake of shipping them iutotho city in an irregular way upon their arrival Wednesday. They are now going about tho city, mingling with people nnd conducting themselves in a most sensible way li truo Americans. Between 11 and 12 last night General Harrisou strolled down the avenue with Mr. Murat Halstcad, taking a breathing before ho retired. When ho met anybody he knew ho stopped and 6hook hands. This morning tho youngsters and their nurse were out on Rhode I slaud avenue bright and early, looking at tho sparrows, making friends w itli tho big dos, and smil ing at other little ones. Bon Harrison McKee and Marthena Harrison, tho grandchildren of the President-elect, are nearly of an ago and ablo to run about and amnso themselves. Mary Harrison McKcc, .born during the campaign, is as jrood at mixing as tho rest of tho family. She wants to go to every 6trange gentleman who puts his arms to her, and whimpers when the nurse takes her away. In the afternoon Mr. ana stopping to look into the shop windows and to laugh at the laKirs, oi wnom mere aro a hundred or two, offering everything conceivable in tho form of a souvenir of the inauguration. General Harrison's Eicture is sold on gilded oyster shells, on ig'chips of the old block," and on Hags and badges of innumerable 6izes and pat terns. Uno of the lavonie aeviccs is a cane which conceals, instead of a sword, a littln liner on a pole. The cane and tho polo join together, and the flag is carried over the shoulder. 1 ne jucivees enjoy eu many u laugh over tho sights they witnessed. Mrs. Harrison got out for a dnvo about midday with Mrs. Senator Sherman. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison joined Mrs. H. C. Bowen, wife of the proprietor of tho New York Independent, at her reception this afternoon. As for the General the politicians took possession of hira, and he got no time during the day for his usual walk. The most inteitsw Americans in Washington are bocoming entirely satisfied that there is nothing exclusivo or stuck up about the Harrisons. THE LAST VETO. Tresident Cleveland's Reasons for Refusing to Sign the Direct-Tax Bill. Washington, March 2. The President, in his message vetoing the direct-tax bill, after describing tho bill in detail and giving a full history of tho matter, says: The conceded clfect of this bill la to take from the money now in the Treasury tho sum of more than $17,000,000, or, if tho percentage allowed is not included, more than $10,000,000, ana pay back to the respective States and Territories tho sums they or their citizens paid more than twen-ty-hve years aro, upon a direct tax levied by the government or tne unnea oiaics ior ua ucicmo and safety. It is mv belief that this appropriation of the public funds is not within the con st iana ueiegaiea auiaoruy cuiuciruu t.uo isir tutlon upon the general government, thefetatoment of tho nunoses for which money inav bo lawfully raised by taxation lu any form declares also the limit of the objects for which it may bo expended. AU must acree that tho direct tax was lawruiiy ana consntutionauy laia, ana iuum it was rightfully and correctly collected. It cannot be claimed, therefore, nor is it pretended, that any debt arose against tne government ana in favor of any Ktate or inaiviauai ny uo e.xacuuu of this tax. Surely, then, the appropriation directed bv this bm cannot bo iutlaed as n pay ment of the debt of tho United States. The dis bursement of this money, clearly, has no relation to tho common defence, Ou tho contrary, it is the repayment of money raised and Ions aero expended by tho government to provide for tho common defonse. The expenditure cauuot properlv be advocated on the ground that tho general welfare of the Unite! States is thereby pmviaeu for or promoted. This "general welfare of tho United States," as used in the Constitution, can only Justify appropriations for national objects and for purposes which havo to do with the prosperity, the growth, the honor or the peace and dignity of the Nation. A she r, bald gratuity, bestowed either upon States or individual , based upon no better reason than supports tho gift Croposed in this biU. has never been claimed to e a provision for the general welfare. JJut if tne consutuuonai quesuon nivoivcu in iuo consideration of this bill should bo determined in its favor, there are other objections remaining which prevent my assent to its provisions. The President here enumerates a number of defects in the bill, among them tho fol lowing: The fact that the entire tax was not paid fur nishes no reason that would not apply to Dearly every case where taxes are laid. There are al ways delinquent a, and while the more thorouu and complete collection of taxes is a trouMcsoruo pioblemof government, tho failure to olve the rrjoiem nas never ieea neiu 10 can ior iuu return of taxes actually codected. Tiie deiicleney ir the collection of this tax is found almost en tirely in the insurrectionary States, whilo tho quotas apportioned to the other btates were, as a general rule. fsJly paid; and three-fourths or four-fifths 01 tne money which It Is proposed in thin bill to return would be paid into the treasury of the loy nl States. Hut no valid reaison for Mich payment is found in tho fact that the government at itm could not. and afterward, for reasons probably perfectly valid, did not, enforce collection in other fctates. There were many federal taxes which were not paid by the people in the rebellious Btates; and if the non-payment by them of this direct tax entitles tho other states to a rto nation of tho sharo of said taxes paid by their clUrens. why should not tho Income taxe3 and many other internal taxes, paid entirely by tho Continued on Second Fage.

A dispali, earitf this morning, from Madrid, faid that thdl body of tho man who 6hot himself at tho Hotel des Ambassadcnra yesterday, when taken into custody by an officer, had not) been identified as that of Figgott, and thati tho authorities were awaiting a portrait ot tho latter beforo determining whether ho wad the man who killed himself. A dU patch received this afternoon, however, removes all doubt that tho guicido was Fijxnott. His identity Las been fully established by tho oftitl cials of tho British embassy. Oiv; Thursday an interpreter Bhowed Piprgota tho eights of Madrid. On that day Pijrgottl sent a telegram, addressed 'Tonsonby," to tho office in London of Mr. Soames, tho Times solicitor. This telegram announced hissafo arrival in Madrid, and pave Li j address. It is inferred that tho English' government learned fr.m this telegram1 that Pig?ott was in Ma irid. It is rcportcdi' that a note-book containing the addresses, of u number of pt-rsons in Ireland waf found on tho body. Picott's snicidor has caused n proior.nd sensation throuahout England. Witnesses Lava started from Pans for Madrid for t ho pur poso of formally identifying the body. Tho Madrid police authorities intend to hold tho effects of thobtiicid pending an ordefl from the court relative to their disposal. ; It was learned this afternoon that th$' telegram Pieeott sent from Madrid on Thursday to Mr. Sonmes's ofiico in this city, was addressed to Mr. Shannon, the Tiinos'tf. Dublin solicitor, not to "Ponsonby," aslirsti reported. On tho receipt of tho telccrauv Mr. Soaraes notilied tho polico of tho whereabouts of Piggott. Pigeott's telegram t Mx. Shannon read thus: Hotel des AMnAfJLDrrcs, MJiDErn.

Mrv Shannon, who was about to take his de parturo for Ireland, wrote to Pigpott denyW mc that ho had promised him money. Tno polico induced Mr. Soanies not to wnd Mr Shannon's letter, and a clerk in Mr. Soames'i ofhee, in order to detain Piggott In Madrid, wrote him a letter saving that Mr. Shannon was in Ireland, and tbst when ho return ett to London tho money ho asked lor wouUV bo sent to him by telegraph. Upon tho person of Pi irgott was found .1 letter addressed to Mr. Laboachre, inLonW don, sealed and ready to be posted. Tim letter said: 'Tho iirst batch of -liters sold to tho Times wero genuine; oftDrf 6econd batch several were forged, including two of PnrnelTs and ono each of Davitt's, O'Kelly's and Epan's.

Piggott tried to negotiato n" check on tho Madrid Bank, but payment! was refused because of tho absence of proofl of his identity.

Tho government has ifcV structcd tho prefects of tlio various depart?, mcnts to prevent, forcibly if ncccssaryv' meeting of committees of tho Patriotic League. . J Tho Chamber of Deputies to-day, at tha request of M. Tirard, the Primo Minister, allowed M. Laguerre to interpellate tho government in regard to tho prosecution off tho Patriotic League. Tho Chamber dcJ cided to commence the debate on tho interpcllation immediately. M. Laguorre asked tho government to rr. Elain its prosecution of tho Patriotic ,eague, and why he had not been included with those who wero prosecuted. M. Tirard justilied the measure. Thogovernment, ho said, would not falter lc lore tho intrigues nnd threat of tho. enemies of the republic. M. Tirard's re-, marks were greeted with applause. M. Thovenot, Minister of Justice, con tended that the arrest of the leaders of tho league was legal. He stigmatized the; league as a hypocritical association whoso : object it was toraiso ono man to power. ' When justice required tho prosecution vli M. LacrueiTC, he would be prosecuted. M. Laguerre, amid an n; roar, moved an, order of the day condrmmi: the prosecnV tiou of tho league.
