NUMBER 50.
TOM REED THE MAN
Most Likely to Be Secretary
of State.
AX EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE
Kentucky Still In Doubt and an Official
Vote Will Only Decide South
Dakota.
Washington. Nov. 6. Slatemakers
are at work here already framing a cab
inet for President-elect McKmley, and
the names mentioned range from Speak
er Heed for eecretary of state, down to
John C. Cowan, of Nebraska, for attorney-general.
It has been suggested tbat
Mr. McKinley might follow precedent,
and tender the portfolio of the state de
partment to Reed, inasmuch as the latter
was the nearest competitor for the nom
ination at St. Louis. On the other hand
it is believed a re-election to the speaker
ship of the 55th congress would be more
acceptable to Reed.
Next in line, according to the cabinet-
fixers, stands Ilenrv Cabot Lodge, who
would make nu ideal secretary of state
Such an appointment would be popular
in the East, and New England in par
ticuiar, owing to the vigorous American'
ism of the present associate of Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts. Three other
names are also mentioned in connection
. 'With the department of state Senator
Allison of Iowa, Davis of Minnesota, and
Sherman of Ohio, having supporters for
this position at the head of the diplo
matic branch of the government. Sen
ator Sherman is also named in connec
tion with the treasury.
senator f roctor, ot Vermont, s men
tioned for a return to the . war depart
ment, where he was secretary under
President Harrison, but in the same
connection the name of General Alger,
of Michigan, is also suggested. '
Representative--Hendereeavof Iewa,,
and ex-Senator Manderson, of Nebraska,
have also come to the front as among the
possibilities for secretary of war.
Representative Bontelle is being urged
as the secretary of the navy, and bis
friends say Mr. McKinley could not find
a man for the place better posted than
the Maine congressman.
In makiDg up the cabinet the West is
not being disregarded, and a very popu
lar name for postmaster-general is tbat
of Representative Babcock, of Wiscon
sin, chairman of the Republican con
gressional campaign committee. There
is some talk of Hanna for this portfolio,
as well us H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee,
who was defeated in his vice-presidential
aspirations by Mr. Hobart.
Ex-Governor W. R. Merriam, of Min
nesota, and ex-Congressman La Follette,
of Wisconsin, are well thought of for the
interior department.
It is frequently nrged that a graceful
act of courtesy would be to tender the
post of secretary of state to ex-President
Harrison, but it is considered doubtfn!
whether he would accept.
C. W. Fairbanks, ti Indiana who
would like to succeed Senator "Voorhees,
is also named as a cabinet minister em
bryo. For attorney-genera' the names of
Judges McKenna and McComas, of Cali
fornia and Maryland, respectively, are
i most frequently heard, and Captain J.
C. Cowan, of Omaha, is considered
among those entitled to be heard on this
subject. .
iNew xork would like to nave tbe sec
retaryship of the treasury, and Cornelius
N. Bliss and T. C. Piatt are favored for
that position.
senator yuay, oi Pennsylvania, is
mentioned in connection with the navy
department.
It is believed that Secretary Morton
will be succeeded by it western man,
and , Governor - Morrill, of Kansas, is
mentioned for the place in the agricul
tural department.
An Bxtra Session of Congress.
Washington, Nov. 6. An extra ses
sion following immediately the inaugu
ration of Mr. McKinley is, in the pre
vailing opinion, certain. No one pro
fesses to have . word from Mr. McKinley
direct on the subject, but there is good
. authority for .saying that Mark Hanna,
during a recent visit in New York, said
enough to give the impression that an
extra session is on the Republican prog-
j gram.
Senator Quay believes an extra session
is certain. That was what he had in
mind last Saturday when he said : "We
shall have a new tariff bill within eight
' months after McKinley's inauguration."
Senator Quay has the habit of speak
ing by the card, and to get a new tariff
bill passed by that time would require
the calling of congress together as soon
after March 4th next as possible.
The Effect at Muscle.
Muscie, Ind., Nov. 6. Ball Brothers1
glass factory company say they will
build another mill at once employing
500 more bands.
The Indiana Iron Company, which
has worked about one-tenth capacity for
a vear. is flooded with orders and will
resume with 800 hands next Monday.
The Midland Steel Company reports
an immense influx of orders.
The Muncie Iron Company put their
men at work on double time yesterday
Five other factories report more orders
than in any one week for five months
past. ':
The window glass factories are idle be
cause of a Btrike.
A Tie in South Dakota.
Yankton, S. D., Nov. 6. South Da
kota's vote on presidential electors is
tied, and an official count will be re
quired to determine the result. Repub
lican managers have closed their office,
with the above declaration. Any claim
of Populists that the state is for Bryan
is not justified by the returns. Correc
tions and changes in three precincts not
yet heard from may give the electors to
either Bryan or McKinley. The Repub
lican congressmen ran ahead of the
electors by several hundred votes, so far
as heard from, and they may have safe
majorities.
Little Change tn California.
San Francisco. Nov. 6. The Ban
Francisco Chronicle will say :
The majority for McKinley and Ho
bart is reduced by the new returns, but
the Republican state committee, with its
private returns from almost every conn
ty, insists upon holding tbe figures
above 4000. There are, still 111 pre
cincts missing in the tabled vote. These
are outlying ones, where the "vote was
small four years ago. They cannot great'
ly change the present figures, which
show the Republican ticket in the Jead
by 4513. - ' -
A Place for Farmer Allerton. .
Lincoln, Neb.', Nov. 8. Livestock
men of. Oman a, Kansas uity. ana tne
West generally have inaugurated a cam
paign to seen re for "Farmer" Samuel
Allerton the position of secretary of
agriculture in McKinley's cabinet. Har
vey Ingersoll yesterday received a com
munication from Secretary Baker, of the
National Livestock Exchange, asking
him to confer with members of tbe ex
ecutive committee of tbe local exchange
on that subject.
For Commissioner of Pensions.
Rockfobd, HI., Nov. 6. Friends of
Colonel Thomas G. Lawler, ex-com
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army of
tbe Republic, will urge his name to
President-elect McKinley for the ap
pointment of commissioner of pensions
when the proper time arrives. He is
one oi tne most popular men in tne
Grand Army organization, and while at
its head visited every statein the Union.
Rolling Mills Open.
Toledo, O., Nov. 8. The Mammoth
Roiling Mill Company will increase its
force by 200 men tomorrow. The sheet
iron mills have been closed for eeveral
months, and would not have opened in
the event of Bryan's election. The men
are all high-priced skilled workmen.
The Times-Star's Figures.
Cincinnati, C. Nov. 6. The Times-
Star has received returns from Leslie
county, Ky., which gives a Republican
plurality of 841, and, with complete re
turns from all counties in Kentucky, an
j nonnces tbat McKinley has a plurality
ol two.

RUNNING NIGHTS NOW
Canton Has an Immense and
Brilliant Parade.
FARMER ALLERTON FOR SECRETARY
McKinley's Election Believed In Europe
to Be a Threat to Spain,
Over Cuba.
Lyons, N. Y., Nov. 8. The Manhat
tan silver-plate factory, which has been
running irregularly since January last,
has commenced running nights on ac
count of large orders conditioned on tbe
election results.
The New Haven silver-plate factory
and A. H. Towar & Company's silver-
plate factory have both started up on
full time. There is even a scarcity of
employes at present.
The Fisher pottery, established in
1825, is now running full blast for the
first time in many months.
The result of all this is that tbe prod
uce-handlers are now able to secure
money with which to move the big ap
ple crop, which is estimated at 720,000
barrels. There has been an increase in
farm produce prices also and collections
are said to be improving.
Canton's Last Great Parade.
Canton, O., Nov.. 7. Much bb Presi
dent-elect McKinlev has desired to get
his wife away from the excitement
about his Canton home, it was decided
this evening that it was best for Mrs.
McKinley not to attempt the trip before
Wednesday or Thursday of next week,
instead of Monday, as expected. The
scenes of congratulation and jollification
have continued without cessation and
today thousands of people marched
through tbe streets and gathered about
hours before tonight's big jollification
begaji. At the breakfast table Major
McKinley was signalled by farmers who
have travelled miles to come to Canton
and who tapped at the window and
beckoned him to their greetings. He
responded to their manifestations of
good will by securing a jardinoire of
chrysanthemums and going to the side
door made them happy by giving them
such floral beauties as are seldom seen
anywhere. All day long tbe joyous
throngs marched through the streets and
filled the sidewalks. They came in spe
cial trains and special cars, on regular
trains and by carriage, on horseback,
bicycle and afoot.
Chief Marshal Harry Frease started
tbe final great campaign parade tonight
before 8 o'clock and Canton bad a pyro-
technical blaze of glory such as she had
never enjoyed before in tbe eventful
days which have passed. Repub
lican committees, Republican and Demo
cratic sound money committees, citizens
and reception escort committees and the
citizens of Canton and Stark county,
combined with the people from Eastern
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, made
one last grand paraede and demonstra
tion. They marched and cheered over
the lines of march that have been trod
by nearly a million of people and are
now historic in the annals of American
politics. The echoes of the roar of can
non and the din of cheering reverbrated
over the city and for miles into the
country. Major McKinley and a ecore
of friends reviewed tbe parade as it
passed his house. Owing to Mrs. Me
Kinley's ill health it is expected that
will end the jollification parades and the
McKinlev yell, which for months has
reigned supreme, will now take a rest in
hope of gaining strength for tbe day of
inaugural ceremony.
A Near Colorado Kallroad.
Victok, Col., Nov. 8. The Colorado
Springs, Victor & Cripple Creek railroad,
incorporated several weeks ago, has suc
ceeded in placing its bonds, and work on
the line will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. The funds were awaiting the re
sult of the election, and after the election
was over, they were promptly taken np.
The new road will be an electric line, 31
miles in length, and will cost $300,000.
The bonds are 6 per cent semi-annual
gold bonds, and they were floated in
Boston. ' The directors expect to have
trains running by the first of Julv, 1897.
Tomorrow Mackey & Roes will begin
the actual construction of the Victor fc
Cripple Creek electric line.
Coal Miners Going- Ont.
Jadkson, O., Nov. 8. All the coal
mines here are idle, tbe men going out
today. President , Ratchford, of the
Ohio miners, is here holding confer
ences, and there was a mass meeting to
day, bat no settlement has been reached.
The miners are resisting the 45-cent
rate, saying they can barely live in that
region at the 61-cent rate. The men
have been having less than half time for
months and are suffering . now. The
trouble is over the differentials of differ
ent districts in the state, and it is feared
that the controversy will cause a een
eral strike ot many thousands ot miners
in Ohio.
McKinley's Election a Threat to Spain
In Cuban Matters.
Pa bis, Nov. 7. The Gaolois contains
interviews with a nnmber of members
of the chamber of deputies, and among
others', M, Paul de Chanel, npon the re
sults of Mr. McKinley's election as pres
ident, in which he says :
"It will benefit the English capital
ists who have lent their gold to the
United States and the French agricul
turists, but French industries have to
fear tbe protective - tariff. The great
black spot in the new presidency is the
Cuban question."
M. de Lambre, the president of the
budget committee of the chamber, ex
pressed the view that be did not think
it would prove that the McKinley tariff
would greatly affect French trade.
M. Francis echoed the opinion of M
de Lambre. It is to be hoped that Spain
will suppress the rebellion in Cuba be
fore McKinley is installed.

Safford, Ariz., writes: "Dr. King's New
Discovery is all that is claimed for it; it
never fails, and is a sure cure for Con
sumption, Coughs, and Colds. I cannot
say enough for its merits." Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption,

AMERICANS ATTACKED
Weyler's Butchers Slash an
American Planter. .
NINETEEN CUBAN WOMEN KILLED
Banks Resnme Specie Payment Wheat
Still Goes Up on Account of
Deficiencies.
Key West, Fia., Nov.. 9. Advices re
ceived from Havana last night per
steamer Olivette give details of an out
rage on an American citizen and the
butchery of nineteen non-combatant
Cubans, including four women, by Span
ish soldiers. The massacre occured last
Thursday near the town of San Fran
cisco de las Layas, Havana province.
A detachment of Spanish soldiers sur
prised six insurgents, who, however,
made their escape, which angered the
Spanish and they began, to raid the
houses in the neighborhood, alleging
tbat the inbabitabts were in sympathy
with the rebels. They went to tbe sugar
estate of Frederick L. Craycroft, who
came here from Indiana about three
years ago. Some of the soldiers entered
the house, and two of them seized Mrs.
Cravcroft and assaulted her. The hus
band in desperation rushed to his wife's
aid, but was struck down by a sword in
the hands of an officer. Two terrible
gashes were made in his back and bis
right arm was nearly severed. The
Spaniards looted the house, took $860 in
cash and then raided other houses on
the estate. They burned eight buildings
and shot nineteen inmates, four of whom
were women.
Graycroft, when he had recovered suf
ficiently, wrote to Vice-Consnl Springer
at Havana. It is understood that the
vice-consul cabled an account of the oat
rage to Secretary 01 ney.
The Spanish authorities in Havana
are greatlv, disturbed , because, several
thousand insurgents from Gomez' army
have entered Matanzas province. So
seriouB does Weyler consider the titoa
tion that he has withdrawn 6,000 troops
from Pinar del Rio and despatched them
into Matanzas to stay tbe advance.
During the siege and subsequent cap
ture of Guayamara City by the insur
gents, the Spaniards lost 260 killed and
wounded. Three hundred and seventy
Spaniards surrendered to Garcia, com
manding the besieging force. Garcia
sent word to General Castellanos that
they would be exchanged for Cubans
held by the Spaniards.
Banks Feel
the Stt'cct
Couildence.
of
Restored
New York, Nov. 9. The banks are
contemplating tbe resumption of specie
payments which they suspended in Feb
ruary, 1892, by refusing to supply gold
for export and for payment of govern
ment dues. That action threw tbe bur
den of supplying gold upon the treasury,
and eventually forced the Issue of
bonds by the government, which aroused
bo much complaint. Since tbe election
the metal has been coming into tbe
blanks in such a flood that they see their
way clear to what can be termed a re
sumption of specie payments. By this
action of the banks gold will be put into
circulation, and no occasion whatever
will exist for hoarding it. Tbey will
also resume the task of supplying gold
for export and thus relieve the treasury
of a great Btrain.
Merchants Will Convene.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Large numbers of
merchants throughout the Western and
Southern states have signified their in
tention of attending the meetings of the
National Association of Merchants and
Travelers in Chicago this week, and the
event promises to be of national import
ance. The merchants are eager - at this
particular time to hear the views of Ly
man J. Gage, who has announced bis in
tention to speak on the banking situa
tion. Scarcely less in importance to the
subject to be handled by Mr. Gage is tbe
address to be delivered by J. V. Farwell,
jr., on the mercantile situation.
Aa the 50,000 retail and wholesale mer
chants comprising the association are
located in the states where the money
question was tbe paramount one in the
recent campaign, the merchants are de
sirous of hearing tbe financial views of
one who is able to discuss it intelligently.
The merchants who will comprise the
largest attendance at this, tbe second
meeting of the the association, are chief
ly from the dry goods, clothing, boot and
shoe, hardware and grocery branches.
More than the usual amount of late
season buying will be done by this
week's visitors, if their letters to Secre
tary Tomlinson are any indication. J
Nearly all of them add the facts that
tbey have been loaning on light stocks,
and must therefore do same baying, to
the olber reasons for their coming to the
city at this time.
The present officers of the association
are: General chairman, A. C. Bartlett;
vice-general chairman, J. V. Farwell;
general treasurer, Adolph Nathan; gen
eral secretary, C. S. Tomlinson.
The Wheat Crop Deficiency.
London, Nov. 9, The Mark Lane Ex
press, in a long article on the crop, saya :
"The deficiency in India is now known
to be very serious, but it is not likely
that any large wheat imports will occur.
Although prices only range from 26s to
36s per quarter, tbe extreme poverty of
the Indian populace renders anything
over 30s almost prohibitive, and 15a
to 25s is the usual range. ' Owing to
tbe failure in India and Australia a defi
ciency of 2,033,500 quarters has created
in Great Britain, the usual supply of
which must be made up from other
sources, and is a change in the situation,
which itself is suffcient to uphold eccen
tricities. "The quanties of wheat on passage to
the United Kingdom November 7 were
2,045,000 quarters, of which Russian
wheat amounts to 400,000 quarters,
North American 300,000, South Ameri
can 100,000 Californian 1,220,000, and
eleewbere 25,000."
Wheat In London.
London, Nov. 9. Business at the Bal
tic in wheat opened steady and quieter.
On Mark Lane wheat was firmly held at
about Is 6d higher than on Friday.
Business at the Baltic closed very
quiet, but holders adhered to opening
prices. .
British Bark Zinta Goes Ashore Kear
Gray's Harbor.'
Aberdeen, Wssb., Nov. 9. The Brit
ish bark Zinita of Greenock, an iron
vessel of 1525 tons, went ashore on North
beach this afternoon, about five miles
north of the, entrance to Gray'e harbor,
and close to where the bark Abercoro
was wrecked a few years ago. The ves
sel was forty days out from Nagasaki, .
Japan, to Portland, dr., in ballast to
load wheat, and first sighted land on
Sunday morning about 9 o'clock, she
being then about five miles off the coast,
and - abreast of Quinault river. The
heavy current tbat sets in along the
coast, and a heavy, southwest gale,
made it impossible for her to stand out
to sea, and at 1 o'clock she was forced to
let go both anchors. They failed to
hold her, and she gradually drifted
ashore, being in a similar position to
the Glenmorag, wrecked north of the
Columbia.
The crew consisted of 27 men nnder
command of James Fraser, and all are
safe ashore. One sailor named McNamee
received a scalp wound from being struck
on the head by a stanchion, which broke
loose aa the vessel rolled in the heavy
breakers, he being the only one in the
crew that was inj-ued. The veesel
was first sighted by Mr. Damon, of Oye
hut, who, noticing the signal of ditsress,
dispatched his eldest boy to Hcquiam,
12 miles distant, for tugs, and telegrams
were at once sent to Wesport to the tug
Traveler, and to South Bend for tugs,
and for the life-Baving crew, but before
the tugs could arrive, the vessel was too
far in shore to receive any help, and the
crew was all ashore, having experienced
no trouble in launching a boat on the lee
side of the vessel and reaching tbe friend
ly assistance of the hospitable people
who dwell along that shore. McNamee,
tbe injured sailor, was brought to the
hospital at Iloqaim, Captain Fraser and
tbe balance of tbe crew remaining at
Oyehut to look after the vessel. Ihe
captain Bays that he is confident that he
cad save the veesel with but little if any
damage, and the condition of the ship at
this time would seem to warrant hia
statement, as Bhe stood tbe heavy pound
inus received In the breakers without
any perceptible damage, not even spring
ing a rivet, and she now stands at low
tide boldly out, as though in her usual
element, instead of in the golden Bands
ot a strange coast.. -
.
November Record Broken.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Wheat broke the
record for November this' morning y
selling at oOJc for December, 2 cents
advance over Saturday's close. The, ad
vance was not attended by great excite
ment. Few open orders to take profit
on long stuff at even figures brought
only a temporary setback. Outside
markets were particularly strong. Tbe
visible . increase was only 1,243,000
buBhels. .
The threatened crop damage in Argen
tina,' doleful rumors of unsatisfactory
fall seeding in Russia and France and
large seaboard clearances were tbe chief
factors which contributed to the success
of the bulls. Corn, oats and provisions
participated in the advance proportionately.
