Cleveland's Cabinet to Be In Harness Ter j Short! j After the Inauguration The Tension Bureau. Bands and Music for tho Inaugural Dakota Wanted Lieutenant KislingbuTy'8 Diary. THE NEW (MIUNET Expected to Ainm u ltelns at Once. Epscial to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 10. "You niiy looc for the norninatisn of PreiidenljClevelaud Cabinet on the day fcl lowing the inauguraticn," observsd & Southern Senator to-day. "So early aa that?" was asked. "Yea, sir, 1 think so. I expect to see the Senate called to meet In executive session on Thursday, the 5th, for the purpose of receiving the names of the Cabinet nominees." "Will they be confirmed at once?" "Most likely, unless there is some objection to one or more of the nominations. You know one objection will throw a nomination OTer a year. Then there will probably be a reference to a committee. It is customary to conürm the nomination ot ex-Senators without reference. It is safe to say that President Cleveland's Cabinet will be authorized to do business before the sun poes down on Eaturday, the 7th, and I should say Thursday, the. 5th." "Then when will there be a meeting of the Cabinet?" "o regular meeting before the regular day the Tuesday following inauguration day. The Senate will be in executive session a short time each for probably ten days after the inauguration. The nomination will be sent in mostly during the week following Inauguration." "Many ? "Not many, I would be inclined tj think in this Instance. Taere will be several vacancies to fill, no doubt. Many officers will resign sooner or later, and a few will tender their resignation as eoon as the new President gets into his office. For instance, Commissioner of Patents Batterworth, who is elected to Congresp, and whose congressional term begins on March 4, will go out and leave an office to be rilled. There will be a number of similar incidents. Then the assistants to the Cabinet officers like Asshtsnt Postmaster General, Attorney General, Secretary of State, etc. will be nominated daring th? extra session of the Sanate, becanse their positions are more or less confidential and are filled by the friends of the Cabinet officers abave them. The first session of the Cabinet will develop some of the3p nominations." "How about tue foreign missions, etc.?" "Oh, that clats of positions will be flllel later daring the sammer -and when there is plenty cf time. 1 don't tilnk thero via be immediate or radical changes in tho3e places, any Tray, and the Cabinet will have much to do with those." "Will there be any communications sent the Senate in March by Mr. Cleveland?" "None, except in the form of nominations. It is not customary to receive any message or proclamations darin? the extra session." Haut! la th Inauguration 1'arade. Special to tile sentinel. Washington, Feb. 10. A gentleman connected with the arrangements for the ioauguration to'd me to day that amon the greatest attraction? in the parade on the 4th cf March would be bands. "PiDd!" exclaimed be, "why there will be more than -00 of them if all onie taat talk of it." "But how many do you really expect?" "More than 100," he replied. "Many famous ones?" Yes, all of them. The Mexican band now playing at the New Orleans Exposition will be one of them. It is the finest one in Mexico about seventy-five pieces, and all wielded by the most thorough muiicians ia Mexico. It is really a great band." "How can the Krposltion managars spire it?" "They want it to cone. It will bi abi r. card for them, and they have asked for prominent placs for it in the line of marc1) But there will be other binds until yo ; can't rest the villBg9 band, the country band, the sheep skin, and every othsr kin 1 of band." "Will there be any rag-tag business in th parade?" "Not a bit of iL This parade is a high toned, dignified one. There will be no transparencies, mottoes cr burlesque. Ii will be the most orderly and thoroughly a gentleman's parade the country has ewr seen. This is always a gentleman's parale." SIghlag Over the ailht-aave-Beeu. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 10. "I think the Republicans begin to see what fools they made ef themselves when they had the Fjriyseventh Congress in not admitting DAkoU as a State," observed a distinguished Republican Senator from the Northwest in conversation to-day. "Nowldaubt if the Territory will be admitted under ten years, even though th Republican! should elect the next Frts'.dent," he continued, "for it will take a good many years tD get both branches cf Congress and the President, too." "It would have been cf no political bauest to bve had Dakota into Statehood this last campaign, would it?" I asked. 'No,' hi replied; ' bat you can't tell

about that; it may be that close in 1SS3, Colorado was admitted just in time to save Hajes' election in 1S7G, and it was admitted by a Democratc House at that. If the Republicans had had good political sense In the last Congress they would have divided Dakota and admitted her as two States." "Do you think the admission of a Territory to Statehood a matter of politics "' "Very largely, the way politics goes now. When any proposition is made nowadiys to change the government of a se:tion ot country in any form, tha first question U, How docs it affect the Federal offices? And that controls action. The admission of Territories to Statehood has always been politics, and alwaya will be. I think we realize it in Dakota at this time."

KevlatioEB by the i'eunlou Itnreau. SDCCial to tho Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 10. The House Committee on Pensions, Bounty and Back Pay has been conducting an examination into the 'workings of the Pension Bureau for some time. To-day it had before it the Assistant Chief ot the Western Division. The case of a widow in llolman's District was cited. He was asked by Caairman Warner to tell what he knew about it. The assistant chief said he had charge of the case and finished it some time befora the November election. He found it all right, and took the papers to the Chief of the Division and told him it should s?. The chief asked him who recommen cd th case, and he answered it was Holman To chief said: "Oh. this is a d d Democrat; we willhold it up till after the election. If it was passed now it would make Holman fifteen Republican vote3." So the case was held up till after the election, sioce which it has passed. A member of the committee said the committee would recommend this chiefs dismissal. Several other witness testified that just before the October election tbere were seven pension agents employed in Yarner's district, which embraces only five counties Chairman Warner says that at this proportion there were at least 150 pens'on cents employed in Ohio just prior to the election, and that in Ohio andlndiana aloie two-thirds of all the pension agents were employed during the canvass. Kx-Commiisioner Dadley will be called on, as says Chairman Warner, to expUln the wherefore ot this proceeding. The belief here now among the Ieadiog men is that McDonald will be assigned t theTreatary. All tbe talk is in this direction. Amthar deiegatlon, probably headed by Voorheeg, will visit Albany to ur3 McDonald. Yoorhees claims McDonald has the brightest prospeca cf any man mentioned for the Cabinet. Gariand, who It is conceded will be Attorney General, and friends are all workup for McDonald, and are confident he will be in the Cabinet. NATIONAL MATTERS.

The diary of Lieutenant Kislir.gbury, o' the Grtely parly, is made public. The fo. lowing are extracts: "Lieutenant G.'ion dect in lately threatening to shoot Cro. without the slightest reason, the othr day, and swearing to the men on other occasion without reason; h!a silly actions lately in controlling the launch, when there are better men who can do it; his carrying a pistol, a small self-cocking arrangement, i too iridiculous. Confound the mao! Why can't he be sensible and do things right." "Tbe arreat of Dr. Pavey was a 'put up job,' as will be proven when this farce is investigated." "Sleeping bags covered with snow and no tents. Lieutenant Greeley on the launch, alongside the boiler, covered by canvass and comfortible " Re ferring to Greely again, he writes: "In fact, he does notning right, and our reaching thi place is due only to good fortune and hard work and the good management of the men." After learning of the wreck of th? Proteus Kislingbury says: "God bless my friend Garlington for his Efforts, a? also our Government. I was struck favorably when reading Garlington'a last record, telling U3 of the wreck. In closing, be showed such indifference for their criti cal condition and misfortunes, and said he would do everything that man could do for us I was affected nearly to tears, and my voice nearly failed me when reading aloud." Tbe last entry is an account of how Greely asked Kislinebary's forgiv?n2s for hi treatment of him, and only a few days later flew ino a passion, and in a leud and insulting manner c.UIei tbe latter a liar. .Lieutenant Greely mts to-night that tbe pistol mentioned in Kislircbury's diary belonged to L'eutenant Leckwood. and he (Greely) carried it ai a f favof to that othcer. He aho declares ttat he is not a profane man, but did ue very emphatic languace when the Lieutenant grounded on the falling tide. It is the time he called Kislingbury a liar, but subsequent

ly apologized, and before the death cf the latter they became reconciled.

About 6 o'clock this morning the citizens of this town were startled by the explosion of a boiler in ths rolling mill in this place. Eighteen men were known to have been killed or wounded.
