VOL. X. CABINET WHISPERINGS WHO WILL BE THE NEW INCUMBENTS AN ANXIOUS QUESTION. Civil Service Law—The Retiring President and Cabinet and Their Future —Con gressional Doings—Penchant Political Pointers. Warrington, Feb. 19. —Nothing ha.* given the democrats greater dissatisfaction than the indication that the cabinet will not be made up by and for the national committee. Soon */ter the election these gentlemen began to ajwuine airs of proprietorship and a desire for direction in affairs. The first conference with the pi esideut-elect demolished this super ficial political structure. Men who had been assuming to be very intimately acquainted with Mr. Cleveland s plans were suddenly revealed as political pretender*. Some denv icrats are wondering how it is possible for Mr. Cleve land, a man sUn Wlt hout edge about prominent men in the party, to know whom to take into hi* confidence. They have discovered that he has unexpected abil ity to diftCTtnunate. No one regards the slate reported from Al bany a* at ah the sort of alate that Barnum. Gorman and Joua* would have sent to the •mate They would pndmbiy haw allowed turn to ake Mt. Bayard, but they xould net er bn re recommended Mr Manning for the tnasurr. Mr Bayard, who is now in Delaware, has tutormed his friends here that ho will not lie back in Washington until after a visit to his home At the jirvsent juncture it is generally utmlbtsV -od to be prompted by a desire to telnet his burctNSor to the senate. All the cabinet makers still agree in retain ing Mr Garland's name on their slates. Mr. Ixtmar’i name continues to be men tioued in connection with both the depart ment of the interior and the postoffice, although by miw well informed people it Is considered doubtful whether he will be asked to fill either position. He acknowledges with frankness that he is naturally of an indolent tempera ment. Whether Mr. Cleveland and his ad visers want a man of that character in the poetoffice department seems doubtful, it beems settled that it is to go for a southern man, but whether Lamar will prove active and en ■rgotic enough to satisfy the demands of tlw ‘‘hungry" democracy is another question. The objection will lie raise* 1 in the ca.se jC the interior department that, like the |>»Jr office department, it is a political lever of r.o mean projM>rtioua. The general impression is that it will l)e confined only to a man of en argy, discretion and undoubted fidelity to the Interests of Mr. Cleveland. Daniel Manning still leads the list of aspir ints for the treasury, while Thunran, Mc- Donald and V'ilas come in for anything that » left after Bay ard, laumr and Garland are provided for. Senator Pendleton denies that he lias writ ten a letter te Mr. Cleveland in favor of Judge Thurman for a pla*?e in the cabinet. Affair* at Albany. Albany, N. Y., Feb. 19 —Mr. Cleveland’s wlr visitors wen* ex-Lieut. Gov. I.'nderwood, >f Kentucky, and three Maine gentlemen, Col. W. A Cromwell, chairman of the state committee; Gen. H. D. Leavitt and J. F. Lynch. The gentleman from Kentucky came to town on busineMi connected with one of the gate departments and lie would not have dared to return to h*s own state without see ing the presidentelect The editor of the German newspaper of Chicago, the Staate Seitung, Mr A C. Hating, will visit Mr. Cleveland soon. An adjournment of the legislature during the week of the inauguration is much derind by a number of the democrats. They* art talking up the subject with the republicans. Au arrangement will probably be made to al low the democrats to get away by pairing or pt,l tieal questions. The Great Men Going Out. Washington, Feb. 19.—The uniform prac fire under the civil service law’ has been t> routine the operation of it to clerks lietween the lowest and highest grades up to 11,800 jm»x •nnuni. Above that grade examinations have not hitherto been required, though j»er ansrible under the law. AU the departments ire now regrading the clerk* so as to bring in hese outriders, and plainly with the intention embarastring Mr. Cleveland at the very ■tart But it may be found they are over- Somg this business of protecting i>ortisan-< in □db-e, who are unworthy of any confidence ■r h-snity. The jirwiderrt and cabinet are preparing to give up the places which they would fondly Jing to. Gen. Arthur is to open u law office •n New York. Mr Frriinghuysen looks forward to a prov identia! turn of the wheel of political fortune by which h<* may get ba ‘k tn the senate. Mr. McCulloch will settle down on his farm in Mary land, bring ind<*jiendent in fortune. Mr. Teller has had the good luck to lie elected to the senate, despite Mr. Hill’s vio lent opposition. Mr. Lincoln will resume his law partnership with Mr. Isham, of Chit ago, which he reilm fuished against his own judgment. Mr. Chandler wiU return to the lobby, as the agent of John Roach, he was a tonspicuou* figure for many years. Mr. Brewster will seek to revive his law prmtice in Philadelphia, and has rented a very modest bouse in that city to pursue it. Mr. Hatton has a newsr»aper to fall back gyon, and the affectionate support of the Bur t Agton and Quincy railroad. The break in the personal relations between ftp president and Mr. Conkling has not been healed, though friends have intervened with the hope of bringing about a reconciliation. The f .nxter tenns are not likely to be re gored. It may be said here that the president never urg«l or recommended the late Judge Folger Io be a candidate for governor. His judg ment was adverse to that step on account of the divisions in the republican party. The judge had l***n pei’suadeii by other friends hhat sucxnms might be attained without diffi culty; and his ambition accorded with their pen-nasion against more candid advice, and rven remonstrance. Senate. Washington, Feb. 19.—The satiate ra the consideration bill to “quit title” for the Des Moines river lands. Mr Lapham continueii his opposition to the bill, and th* time was until the foreign cc-utract labor bill came up before the senate. In the course of the debate Mr. McPherson made a statement which was received with exclamatioo* of surprise by Senator George and othera He said on representation being made that laborers in glass factorise were not sufficiently protected, congress increased the duty on gter®ware, whereupon manufacturers taimediatriy demanded ioborers should submit to a reduction of ten per cent, of their wages. When the men refused, the mauufactureni firrf Belgians to take the of those shut out; when that did not work, they imported goods and paid duty on them in or der to kee|* their own men out of employ ment. From this, he deduced were other rrite than those named in the hill, a<am*J Irw i 1 which it was necef®ary T to protect the wo**k ingmen. They’ should be protected from com binations afid manufacturers which pre vented their receiving a fair share of the I»en efits of tariff. The amendments offered by Mr. Laphani, striking out from the bill the provirisions that one-lialf of the penalties recovered should go to the person bringing suits for violations of law, practically limiting the power of the prosecution under an act to United States district attorney's, were adopted, and, on mo tion of Mr Blair, it was made the duty of United States district attorneys to pn»secute these eases at the expense of rhe Tinted States. Mr. Hawley moved to refer the whole bill to the judiciary committee, with instruction* to report not later than the 20th inst., a bill which should more effectually reach the ends aimed at. It was lost The bill was then jxissed. House. Washington, Feb. 19.—0 n reassembling there was a continuance of Tuesday's sea son. which immediately went into a commit tee of the whole, on the river and haibor bill.

KING CAPITAL. Oliver Rro«. Will Remove Their Work* from South B« n<l t«» YndlanapollM. South Bend, Feb. 19—A delegation of < itizens waited upon Messrs. James and Jo n.*]>h Oliver, and prewinted them with the tes timonial recently circulated and signed by ieoiling citizens of South B-nd, irrespective of jiarty. The delegation met at the court house and marched to the rosideno? of Mr. I liver, two or three hundred strong, repre wuling the best elemen'aof the community. The delegation was headed by ex-Mayor Torg, who presented a lengthy address, set ting forth tlie ho;s» that the Olivers w ou'd not find it necessary to remove their works from Sou' < Bend. Mr. James Oliver r sponded. He *M evidently deeply moved, j u> said: “ uly friends I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this testimonial of your con fidence and g-xx! will. I wish I might find language to <-xpress more fully the gratitude 1 feel, but, get tiemen on do not understand, end I can not expla n to you our situation. My son and I have can vacsexl ibis subject from e'» ery star'l point, and I say to you that we can come to no other conclusion than that we must leaze this place.” Mr, Oliver cea-ed srieaking and rtood with bowed bead. The delegation was thunder struck, and for fully a minute no one moved or spo’.e. The ultimatum was so unexpected, and couched in such unmistakable terms, that those who heard it were completely dumb founded. Finally somebody relived the situa tion by bidding Mr. Oliver goxi-night and passing out. The delegation followed, and the imerview, so brief and so unsatisfactory, w as at an end. If the decision of the .Messrs. Oliver is car ried out the works will go to Indianapolis. The Illinni* Senat« r hip.

Houses Wantonly Set on Fire, and Jack sonville’s Unenviable Experience. Jacksonville, Feb. 19.—The city of Jack sonville has lieen sorely affiictei with all sorts of evil-doers during the present w inter. In the very beginning of the season the gamblers and bunko, or confidence men, sw armed the streets and relieved strangers of their money with remarkable facility and success. The city new’spai>ers united in a determined fight upon these swindlers, followud them to their dens and exposed their l<x*ation so thoroughly that the bunko men left the city for New Orleans. Immediately upon the heels of these malefactors came a series ol daring burglar ies in different portions of the town. In sev eral instances the occupants were fired at with deadly intent by the des|>erate midnight rob ber. With great diligence and energy the police went to work and ferreted out and In-ought to justice a majority of the gang of inqxirted villains engages 1 in these affairs. Now a new dangtT threatens the city. For several weeks there have occuiTed a series of conflagrations be'aring the plain mark of the incendiary. On Friday night the home of Mr. W. M. Dancy, mayor of the city, was burned to the ground. An empty keroeeno can under the front steps told how it was done. About 2 o’clock, the large threo-rtory block of Mr. J. G. Percival, on U nion street, w as m full blaze before any alarm was given. It wba a Florida pine building and burned rapidly, making a tremendous blaze. Before it had fallen the flames had communi cated themselves to two adjacent residences fronting on Hogan street, which were burned to the ground. Next the lieautiful cottage home of Mr.T.T. Stockton was consumed. The house of Mr. Clark, of the Florida Herald, caught fire from the blaze, but w’ere extinguish»xl by heroic efforts of the firemen. The fire raged for three hours, and before it wbs checked nearly the whole of one of the most popular blocks of the city wore destroyed, and eight families were homeless. The families in the tenement escaped in tbeir night clothes into the unusually cold night, and a gieat deal of serious suffering wa; experienced. 3'he fire originated ir apartments vacate! two days a . < by Mr Frank Pope, late independent cand date fm ! governor of Florida. They had no! been on cupied since. It is generally concedt >1 that the fire originate! from the same in-- nd.ary who fired the mayor's residence.

Feb 19.—The germs ol Asiatte cholera, according to the theory advanced by Hit celebrate i Dr. Koch, of Berlin, have lieen exhibited al the various meetings of the Chicago Medical Society by Dr. McArthur and other professors. Dr. K<x’h has devoted more time and study to the solution of the cholera problem than any other physician, and from the fact that he has so far established his theory over all opposing ones, and successfully met all argu ments, no little interest in the subject w felt by the people of this country, inasmuch •s cholera might cn*« the ocean during the coining summer. Kock’s “comma bachillus of Asiatic cholera” a.-* the shape of a comma, •nd are distinguishai io only when magnified about 1,000 times. 1 bey can be taken into the stomach with water, and although very few may be swallowed, their power of repro duction is so wonderful that in a day the vi©- ium will be suffering the agonies of . • fully developed case.

To prove his theory, he caused a dog to take the ; into his stoma, h. Death resulted in • three days.
