Augusta, (la., Jan 9. Beyond the reiteration of the announcement that F'hllander C. Knox will be Secretary of .state, and Frank H Hitchcock Postmaster General In his Cabinet, I'resldent-elect Taft has determined that no other Cabinet appointments shall be made known until March 4th. To make this determination effective he will deny all Cabinet ru mors, predictions or announcements from any source or quarter whatso ever. In the statement of this policy at tention was directed to the announce ment of the Knox appointment, made on the day Mr. Taft arrived In Au gusta and to the authoritative an nouncement of the Associated Press fi 'iu Hot Hprlngs, Va . of the selection of Mr Hitchcock as Postmaster (ieii eral, both of which are pronounced orrect by Mr. Taft It Is predicted that Mr Hitchcock will retire as chairman of the He publlcan nstlonal committee ut some onvenlent time" to be determined up on after he has assumed the duties of his official position.

WIM, Sib KKTA HY WILSON p.E- TI hi:? Then ui hi tion of James Wilson. Sec retary ol Agriculture, to serve loiig- i as a i 'a bluet minister than has any occupant of a like position in this country, has developed an Interest lug dlsi iission as to w hether Mr Wilson does not ut the present time hold the record of the longest Cabinet serv ice. His tenure of office on the 4th of March next will be 12 years and three months, according to Informa tion here. Ills competitors in tins line lire said to be William Wirt, who was Attorney General for 1 1 years and six or elghdt months, and Postmaster lieneral liranger, who was at the head of i lie posty! service for 13 years, but during none of that time was he a member of the Cabinet. The position of postmaster Deneral then was not a Cabinet place. Should it develop -.uthorltatlfcly 'hat Mr. Wilson will have achieved Ids ambition on the 4th of March. It Is regarded as high ly probable here that he will wish to relinipil .h his otllclal duties. In w h'ch case Mr. Taft will have th" additional task before him of selecting a Secre tary of Agriculture for his Cabinet. Otherwise. Mr. Wilson will doubt le -s be a member of the Talt official family, at least for a few months. Aside from this pl.K e, it is regard ed as a lair conclusion that Mr. iTaft has fixed in his mind and nas had approved by Messrs Knox and Hitch cock the men whom he Is to invite to seats around his council board. This Is believed to be the extent of his progress at the present time, as It Is uiule.iiitood that no offers of places besides tho two determined upon, have 1 een made to unv' one That the proffer of places Is the next step In order, Is a matter of course ATTKXDH LiAtiBFCCrc. Dike a trip into the "good old days of the past" was the novel experience of the President-elect to-day in blng the guest of the lleech Island Farm ers Club, of South Carolina, at a repetition of a barbecue the club has held once a month, without missing a month, for nearly 70 years.
