WANTS NO CABINET PLACE.

Mr. Goff Declines Maj. McKinley’s Offer —Wilson at Canton. Canton, Ohio, Special: The usual Sunday quiet prevailed at the McKinley home. Congressman Wilson had a half-hour's talk with the major before leaving for the east in the afternoon. He had little to say except that his mission was not of national importance. The best information is that Mr. Goff will not be in the cabinet; that he has arrived at this conclusion for personal reasons after two weeks’ consideration, Judge Goff has written a letter to this effect to Maj. McKinley. His withdrawal brings up for reconsideration by the president-elect the whole question of who shall represent the south in the cabinet. It is B&fe to say hiß mind is not made up on this subject, and that he would be greatly relieved if Judge Goff, even at this late day, could be induced to alter his decision, which, it may be stated, is not expressed in absolutely final terms. J. J. McCook of New York is now considered probable for attorney-general.
