ELECTRIC LIGHTS Cleveland Announces The Names of Portion of His CaMnet. ' ; GRESHAM, SEOfiETABY OF STATE C'urliHls for tbn Treaanry, Dnu. Laninnvl fur Ilia War Ofllce, and Itlaaull for I'lialuiakter General. , ; AsaocSated Treca. Lokewood, -N. J., Feb. H. ClovelftBd has ofllolaily announeel the names p( fo-jr of thei members of Ills cattinrt through the Associated Press this even Iwr. They are- . WALTER Q. ORESHAM, of Illinois, secretary of state. JOHN O. CARLISLE, of Kentucky, sea retary of finance. - DANIEL S. LAMONT, of New York, secretary of war. WILSON S. BISSEL, of Buffalo, N. T., postmaster general. On making the announcement, Cleve land said: "There is no need of any mystery (ln regard to the cabinet and it is useless to speculate and indulge In guesswork, A O. CAItLISLE. shall make no secret of the matter, but shall announce tho names of the gentle men selected to fill the positions as fast as I receive their acceptances and per mission to make the matter public." , Cleveland would say nothing In regard to other positions or the men who were mentioned in connection with them. It Is considered an odd coincidence that Judge Qresham should succeed as secre tary of state one who has been his life long friend In the republican party and in the state of Indiana. John W. Foster and Judge Gresham have been on inti mate terms for many years, and during Judge Gresham's recent visit to Wash ington, Secretary Foster was one of lils callers and as chance would have it, they discussed in a friendly and informal way the Bering sea arbitration case and other matters of present diplomacy. Judge Oresliam wll be Indirectly tho success or of Mr. ltlulno, whose political course Judge Gresham was not always able to approve. Itw as tho Blaine following that defeated Gresham for the republican nom ination In 1888, and chose Instead, Gresh am's Indiana rival, Benjamin Harrison. By the turn of the political wheel dur ing the last three months, Harrison lias been relegated to private life while his old-time rival In Indiana, and bitter per sonal enemy now comes to the front as the man of next Importance to the presi dent himself, under a democratic admin istration. President Harrison, It is con ceded, made the greatest mistake of his life when he failed to nominate Gresham for a seat on the supreme bench, as he ntnli, ,l . . t .-1 . . 1 a . iiBut imiiigiy nave uune wq years bhv. Possibly Gresham would not have taken It, but If he had It would have removed him from the field of politics and taken him out of Harrison's way. There are ob servers in the capitol who already look to the future and say that Gresham will be the democratic candidate for presi dent In 1896, and that Harrison will be his competitor on the republican ticket. The belief Is generU here that Judge Gresh am will now become permanently at tached to the democratic party and that his part In' the politics in the near fu ture Is to be a prominent one. This sud den transition from one party to another and from the quiet of the bench to the center of action at Washington, excites comment here as an example of the queer surprises which our political system is capable of producing. . I As secretary of state under Vr. Cleve land, Judge Gresham wlil have a rare opportunity to make a record. It is con ceded that not since Lincoln's first ad ministration, has a president about to take his seat been confronted by so many serious diplomatic questions as will come before Mr. Cleveland for settle ment. The Hawaiian annexation question In all probability, will be left as a leg acy from the Harrison regime. It In volves delicate questions of International relations, as well as the broader subjeet of the Monroe doctrine, and the national policy of thlg country with reference to aggressiveness beyond the limits of our own territory. In determining this mat ter the new administration may make p?ace or war, and will be sure to leave the Impress of" Its decision upon the pol icy of our government for many years to come. IT WILL BE GRESHAM. Chicago, Feb. 14. Practically all doubt was removed today that the cabinet port folio has .been offered to Gresham by !l!t!:...'.. Cleveland, and that it will be accepted. It became known this afternoon through one, of his friends that Gresham hadj talked with District Attorney Gilchrist about the form of acceptance of the pos ition of secretary of state.

In the commons to day, Lord George Hamilton asked Glad stone when he proposed to Introduce the bill dealing with Irish land tenure. Gladstone declined to commit the gov ernment to any pledge to Introduce the land bill. Balfour, then, amid loud unionist cheers began to reply to Gladstone's speech, of last evening. He said: "The house first of all has the right to inquire Into any bill, good or bad re quired. The prime minister must soe thnt a bill of this magnitude Is hardly justi fied by any condition of affairs like that from which the necessity of the crimen act arose. It is criminal to attempt to set up In Ireland, a legislature practic ally Independent of the Imperial parlia ment. Ulster at least deserved exception al, treatment for which ho provision ap peared In tho bill." Balfour contended t'.iut the plan out lined for dealing with the constabulary, with the civil servants of the government would certainly lead to the Infliction of great hardships. A POWERFUL TRUST.
