MAKING HIS CABINET.

Mr. Cleveland Officially Announce! the Men Selected to FIH Four Places—They Are Gresham, Carlisle, Lamont and Blase 11. Lakewood, N. J., Feb. 15. Mr. Cleveland officially announced the names of fonr members of his cabinet Tuesday evening. They are: Walter Q. Gresham, of Illinois, secretary of state; John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky, secretary of the treasury; Daniel S. Lamont, of New York, secretary of war; Wilson S. Bissell, of Buffalo, postmaster general. On making the announcements Mr. Cleveland said: “There is no need of any mystery in regard to the cabinet and it is useless to speculate and indulge in guesswork, -if shall make no secret of the matter but shall announce the names of gentlemen selected to fill the positions as fast as I receive their acceptances and permission to make the matter public.” Mr. Cleveland would say nothing in regard to the other positions of the men who have been mentioned in connection with them. It is evident that

Hoke Smith, Hilary A. Herbert and others who have been mentioned are still 'under consideration. A conference which will probably settle Mr. Smith’s chances one way or the other will be held at Mr. Cleveland’s office in New York some day this week. Mr. Cleveland had a social visit from Mr. Cadwallader, of Philadelphia, Tuesday. This is Mr. Cadwallader’s second visit inside of a week; he is supposed to have an interest in the selection of a Philadelphian whose name he carefully guards from the public. Senator John Martin, of Kansas, and Dr. J. S. Meely, of the same state, had a long talk with Mr. Cleveland Tuesday. They put in a strong claim for a representation in the cabinet from Kansas. Senator Martin is the first democratic senator ever sent to Washington from *his state. He

urged the selection of ex-Gov. J. W. Glick and left Lakewood in a happy frame of mind as to the chances of his candidate. He said that Mr. Cleveland informed him that Judge Gresham had not been selected to temporarily fill the place of secretary of state until Minister E. J. Phelps finishes with the Behring sea controversy, but has been selected for good.
