Vice Presidentelect Morton spent this nftcrnoon on the floor of the two houses of congres8.tHo \vas escorted about and Intro duced by Uopicscntiitlvo William Walter Phelps , of New Jersey. Mr. Morton looked well nnd seemed very happy ' " his work of meeting the legislators , und frankly told the Btatcsmen us they uero introduced thnt ho \vns "getting the hnmrof the barn , " so that ho might bo competent to take the chair of the president of the senate on the Ith of March. Ho occupied a lounge on the ropub llcan side of the seimto for an hour or more , during which time Mr. Phelps brought to him und presented the various republican nnd dcmociiitlc senators who were not en grossed In the tariff debate. The last man Mr. Moiton talked to in the scnuto was Mr Quay. The clinlrtntu of the icpubllcan national committee was writing ut his desk when Mr Morton called to him famillmly , mid ho went over mid at down beside the distinguished New Yorltor. For llftoen minutes the ftiluio innking officer of the senate and the head of the republican nn tionnl committee had their heads together. Mr. Quay explained the formation of the committees and the leorgamration of the senate generally , .mil added a little political infoi million. In the houau Mr. Morton also lingered on the republican side , and held quite n levee At ono time there was a largo crowd of republican and democratic mcm- born clustcjed about him , and they were giceteil ns warmly as if they were old friends Mi.s.

Morton are stopping at the same hotel at which aie Mr and Mis lllame. Tomorrow night Senator Hlscock will give a dinner in honor of Mr. Moi ton , and among his guests will bo Mr. Hlaino and Mr. Phelps. CAIIIN'irr hlTCL'l. VTIO.VS. Since the meeting of the electors on last Monday Piosiilcnt-elcct Ilainson has accom plished something In the way of formulating ideas us to the make up of his cabinet. Ho has como to the conclusion that it would bo unwise to take any man fiom the senate , and points to the fact that President Cleveland in callini ; three senators to cabinet positions weakened his party icprcsontation in the uuper house of congress to such an extent that ho labored under great disadvantages from the very outset to the present timo. Picsidcnt Harri son docs not want to give the treasury port folio to New York , nnd if ho woio inclined to tender a position in his cabinet to his own state , it would bo lo Colonel John C. Now , who has gien him to understand that ho neither expects nor desires a caDinct place. If the New York demands and complica tions were settled , the cabinet could be filled within twenty four hours at any time now , although no man has been selected or given the slightest Intimation that he will be of fered a place in the cabinet. There are lo bo no positions In the cabinet tendered under four or llvo weeks , mm then they will all DO extended to the men dcsiicd , at one time. Mr. Hlaino will bo one of the chosen few. There can bo no doubt now of thai , hairing accidents , incidents and un natural changes of mind. Mr. Wannmnulcer is another who will have a position tendered to him. Juhtnt this time neither Platl nor Miller is on the slate , nnd unless there is a consolidation on ono or the other , neither will bo chobc'ii. If the bill creating a depart ment out of the bureau of agilcultiiie be comes n law , ox-Governor Kusk , of Wiscon sin , AS ill likely be asked to tnke thai place. A Ct'HlOl'S COINCIDKVOI ! . The practical election of Mr. D W. Wnsh- hurn to succeed Senator Salmi recalls the famous contested election case of Ignatius Donnelly nguh.st Mr. Wnshburn in the Forty sixth congicss , Donnelly having con tested for the election of United States sen ator In the caucuses of the Minnesota legis lature yestciday. Mr. Washbiirn was elected to the Forty-sixth congress , nnd Mr. Donnelly Uuimcd that ho had been deprived of election by several thousand votes seemed by the llbeiul use of Mr. Washburn's money. Mr , Donnelly's attoincy In Washington was the famous "Hlg" Fmley , the confidential agent of Samuel J. Tilden during that gentleman's lifo time. Mr. Springer was chairman of the commit- tea on elections , One night when Mr , Springer was hastily summoned to New York , a messenger called ut his house und dcllvcicd n mysterious package , which , on hoinir opened , proved to bo u letter intimutmg that if Mr. Springer would throw his influ ence , as chuliman of thu committee , In favor of Donnelly , It would provo gioiitly to his llnnnctul benefit. When Mr. Springer learned of this attempt to bribe him ho turned ngnlnst Donnelly und supported Wushbuin. The mutter wus promptly brought before the house , but as Mrs. Springer wns unnblo to Identify tlio messen ger who brought the paekugo , nnd ns noth ing could bo pioved against Mr. Donnelly or Mr. Finloy , thu Investigation had to end. H IB a striking coincidence that Donnelly should again , after the lapse of moro than a decade , turn up ns Mr. Wushburn's contest ant to u Beat in congress. A 0001) H\AJIPI.K. The republicans of Nebraska and Wiscon sin have set u good example lo their neigh bors in Now ork stnto by concluding the contiovcrsy over the cabinet appointments nnd reaching n satisfactory agreement. In Wisconsin It Is understood that the names of Governor Itusk mid Henry C. Payne shall bo presented to the president elect , who will ho Informed that Kusk will not accept any position but that of secretary of war or secre tary ot agriculture , nnd that Payne wilt not accept any ixjsitlon but that of post master general. If General Ilairlson doslies n postnmstor general , or secretary of war , or secretary of agriculture from Wisconsin , ho will not have to look any further. In Nebraska the situation is similar. Governor Furnusili'sires to bo sccietury of ugrlcultuio , but wants nothing else , nnd John M. Thurs- ton would like to bo secretary of the inte rior. Their friends have simply said to Gen eral Harrison that If ho is willing lo give thu Interior department to Nobraskn , Thurston wants it , nnd if ho wants to give Nebraska the agricultural department , Furnus Is the man , Jusl who these solicitous friends mo is not stated , .

Mrs. Foster talked nt great length of the efficiency of the prohibition law hi Iowa and Kansas , und quoted Governors Larraboc und Martin , of those stall's , respectively , as to the success of prohibition there. This evening's Critic says : "Owing to tno Illness of Kepresontutivo Lulril , the Laird liui'o food bill , which wus icportcd favorably to the house last session , it is understood , will not bo taken up for consideration this ncssion.
