In the homo toduy Major McKlulejr of Ohiopresented n bill extending the tlmo from tento thirty days during winch a vacancy In acabinet ofllco may bo Illlod by the transfer of-

na assistant. It was adopted without delay.Tomorrow the senate committee on financewill meet to consider the message of Presi-dent

¬

Harrison on the subject , and Senators_ A.VWch and Hisrockof tbo committee said

today that it was probable the bouse bill willbo promptly reported to the senate nnd passed.The president can for tlio present dismissfrom his mind the question of Secre-tary

¬

Windom's succossorahlp. IIo will notbo required to make a nomination till afterthe close of this congress , Mured 4 , unless howishes to aet sooner. It Is believed that hewill send to the senate the nomination of a-

focrulary of the treasury during the last weekof the session. Senator Spooncr of Wiscon-

sin¬

has taken himself out of the mouth of thecabinet slate makers by announcing that hwould not accept the position If It were ten-

dered¬

to him-as, lie Is not fitted for routineor departmental work , Hcsidcs It is verywell known now that President Harrisondoes not want to take two olllcers from thesame state. This fact will put a quietusto the talk of Hon. John C. Now nnd JamesN. Huston of Indiana. Both of these menhuvobeeu favorably mentioned. Ills proba-

ble that Senator Atdrleh of Khodo Islandwould bo asked to take tlio treasury portfolioif it were not for the fact that his successor ,

whether appointed by the governor or electedhy the legislature , would bo n democrat.Senator Aldrleh Is thoroughly lilted for tlio-pluco by natural latent and his training andstudy , us n member of the senate committeeon finance , nt the head of which ho has reallybeen for years. A number of well known NewYorkers who attended the funeral of thedond secretary toilr-v did some StromInlkitigfor Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss of their state.They also Bald the transfer of SecretaryTracv would be popular. It is no secret thatPresident Harrison has always contendedthat the treasury portfolio should never go-

to New York , It for no other reason , becausettiu state Is so much Interested in treasuryaffairs and it is universally charged that"Wall strcot lias hold of the throat of the gov-

mnenl's-

treasury. Sethis should put nilid to the talk of Now York supplying the

vacancy. All the circumstances consideredHuprescntatlvoMcKlulcy of Ohio stands moremarked In the Hues of probabilities than anyother man. ills Illness , by reason of hisstudy of the tariff , which is Just now the all-Important part of the dutiesof the secretaryof the treasury , und tbo general reputationof the man , together with his close relationswith the president , and the further fnot thatOhio is not represented In tlio cabinet , makesit very Jikely that the positionwill , bo ten-dered

¬

tcfhlm , especially in view of the exten-Dion

-

of the time when the nomination mustbe made. Ohio republicans and personalfriendsof, Major MoKlnloydoubt whetherho would accept the place if ten-dered to him , as ho has been ,

by acclamation of his party and , fnr in ad-vance of the opening of Iho campaign , se-lected for the gubernatorial r.ico In Ohio thisfall , Of course , If It should appear to thepresident that Mnjor Mclvinloy was essentialto republican success in Ohio this fall , howould not insist upon his services In ttietreasury department. Should Mnjor McKin-ley

-

not get the place , for any reason , it wouldcrcato no surprise if Secretary Proctor o (

Vermont should bo transferred to the treas-ury. . Secretary Proctor Is splendidlyequipped for the ofllcu. Ho is a iiiinii-cier

-

and has shown good executive aDllityIn the war department. Ho is popular und'omes from astute with no financial ontanclcl-ieut.

-

. Proctor is n likely man. To tlio coun-try at large It is not n matter of importancewho is called to 1111 the place vacated by thedeath of Secretary Wlndom. The policiesof the treasury department ore well detlned ,

They will bo continued under the now headof the department as heretofore. A goodand safe limn will bo selected. Speaking I-na business way , the president's hand will al-

ways appear In important movements of thetreasury department , and affairs will not bechanged from what they have been for nearlytwo years.

"Palmer has just ns much show of beingelected as that spittoon. "

"How about Oglcsbyl"-"His chance isn't' n - bit better. Neither

is Strcetor's , "Why , neither 1'nliner norOgles by can bo elected unless the farmersvote for one of them , Mid they have time andagain declared to mo that they would neverdo such a thin ?. I have nothing personallyagainst Palmer , neither have I against theothers , but this isn't a question of personal'celmg. It's a stern light, the present condl-.ionof

which Is a deadlock. And any imnio-d late end I can't see. There arc some wholoclaro thut u senator will bo elected on-

Mr , Jones continued :

"This talk about the democrats stayingvlth Palmer Is nil very line , but the demo-

crats¬

want to elect n senator, nnd seeing , asthey must certainly by tbls tlmo see, thatthere is no hope of electing Palmer , unlessthe republicans blunder and I can see veryeasily how they might blunder , although I-

A Hard Itonil Cor t'io Xatlonal Ijoiijini )

to Travel.CHICAGO , Feb. 2. The Herald this morning

says : The national baseball league is threat-ened

¬

with serious trouble. When it subduedthe Insurrection of the players , and when , atenormous expense , It liad arrangeu n settle-ment with its stubborn opponents , the pathKi victory and the restoration of interest in

the sport looked safe and Mire. The grandmarch to triumuh has now reached a fork Inthe road. Uig rocks obstruct tno way , and.inless great care Is taken the National base-ball

¬

league will stub its toe , If It does , noboard of control will bo powerful enough toprevent disaster. A speck ot war is visiblein the distance nnd unless strong measuresnrc taken to prevent an outbreakan openconflict resulting in the slaughter of the pop-ular pastime will ensue.

President llobinson of the Cleveland club ,

who has been surpassed hy none in.his fealty*to the cause of the league , has bean-hero inconsultation with Spaldlug. IIo cyimu tosecure several of the surplus Chicago players ,

but was disappointed. Kobinson has foughthard for the abolition of the sales system ,

and Spaldlug was among the magnates whongieeui to do away with the pernicious cus-tom.

¬

. 'Now , when Kobinson wants players forwhom Chicago bus no use , the local manage-ment

¬

, it Is salJ , wants money for them , llob-inson

¬

is therefore disgusted. Unless pacillcd-ho threatens trouhlo , nnd should n. break Inthe league's circuit occur demoralization Iscertain to result.
