Special Dt.patch to The Chicago Tribune-
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 15.-The strong eff
forts Of the Illinois delegation to agree On some
person for Cabinet place have not been sue
cessfuL Opinions are varied and candidates are
numerous. There are those in the delegation
who are not disposed to make tdp to Mentor,
rs the Representatives Of other States have
done, and who will oppose giving their opinionns
to Garfield unless thoy arc asked for them.
Several men are named as suitable persons
to represent Illinois in tho Cabinet in case a
place shall be secured. Among them are Emery
Storrs, Representative Fort who tsinoI mem-
Der of tho next House; Mr.. Burchard, Director
Of the Mint; Gen. -.Raum, Commissioner Of Inter
nal Revenue, Gov. Oslcsby, Representative Far
well. and Robert Lincoln.
MR. BCRCuARD,
it is understood will be well pleased to
remain where he is, as his position suits his
taste, and his tenure Of the office Is not subject
to political conditions, as that Of Cabinet ppai-
tion. Fort would probably be pleased with: an
appointment and has strong friends. 1aaum
also hus friends. Ogtcsby has strength. but
would not secure the united delegation. Storrs
1s popular. particularly among the northern
Representatives Robert Lincoln is kindly
spoken Of by all, but his name.
has not been much mentioned in . the
delegation, and 1t cannot be said that there is u
detlnit movement for him within the delegation:
His name, however. has been suggested by per-
sons not connected with tho delegation as
possible Cabinet officer from Illinois. ..

THE LITTLE OLD MAN
WAY Ep IN THE DOME.

Special Dispateh to 7n< Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. l5.-Thcre died in
this city Tonight one of the curious charac1 ezs
Of Washington history. For many years visitors
to the National Capitol have noticed. far up in
the dome, little old man with thin, carrworn
face and long, thin, white mutton-chop whis-
kers. who kept Photographic views Of the Capi-
tot for sale This man, Samuel Douglas Wyeth,
had trugical history, the details Of which are
not fully known. For nearly quarter Of a cen
:ury he has lived alone here. but q
>ife and seven children are living in
a distant State. His mania has been to
lag'lp a stock Of valuable paintings, pictures,
bust vases. and delicnte pottery of many rare
aud tecious kinds, and all sorts Of beautiful
and cosy bric-a-brac-
5. HIS GARREr,
winch ne anted for 50 month, Is slitterally filled
WIZ tn1s election, which he has made at great
sacrlnce, noing, as he has sAiu that, one day, 1t
would descell to his children. One of his pict-
ures IS pantsg Of one Of the Popes, and is said
to be i've centuics old. Large dealers hero say
1t Is the most valable painting in this country.
Mr.. Wyeth was u authority in tho historic
ploces ABOUT The city, particularly about the,

said to be une9ualed by a1y other publication Of
the Kind for accuracy of Information. His de-
seription and history Of tie Congressional L.
orary Is said to DO tho best ,xtant Besides his
collection OF br1c-a-brac, he lett no resources.
To-day, when Mr.. Wyeth fou1d himself dying,
he sent several teleg1ams to his Family, begging
them to come to his relief before he died, but
they refused They have sent word, however,
that they will come after he Is dead,

"AA1HeGox, D, C., Jnn. l5--The California
delegaon n Congress is divided in opinion rs
10 the merits OF tho proposed new Chinese

c9ac Coas9 htreyer, are united In their opposf-
uon TO It. tn latter were disposed to oppose

are very apt "A carry aaeir, opposition

that whatever credit w,uid attaca " tho pas
saee of it vii! belong ttthe Rcpubl.an Senate
which is to come, and uot to the L1nocratic
Senate: But 1t appears hat tho K@ublican
Congrvssnlcn from the Pacitc Coast nre
NOT WHOLLY IN FAVOR OF THE MEAI7nE.
They punt to what thcy consider the defe.s in
it,. F.rst. the possible construction Of the wrd
:" laborers second, the fact that the treaty,sn
effect, permits tho naturalization of the Chimes
The word ';laboress,'' as used in the treaty,
some Of tho Republican members from the
Coast sayl is NOT sufficiently specific, and It
might be so construed ns to give rise either to
misunderstanding or to defeat the real object
OF the treaty. Tho clause in the treaty which
proposes TO place tho Chinese On the basis Of
the most favored nations would, Of necessity,
give to the Chinese the right to become natural
lied In our courts, unless there was some in
Mbiiun against such right
THERE Is NOTHING TO PREVENT THIS
IL ths treaty. The fayored-nadons clause was
also contained in the Bur1ingamo treaty, but on
motion Of the Commissioners, that was amended
80 That naturalization wns not allowed, and the
amended treaty WAS ratified. The Californtans,
1owecer, arc scarcely fair in their criticism, as
their treaty Is supplemental to the Burlngama
treaty, and does not supersede. except where it
Is Inconsistent.

The tonnage would at lenst be 3,500,0oo. Assum-
Ing that 100000 tons would pass through the
canal annually, that traffic would produce with
