THE RRTInlNG CABINET,
What E1.prs.ldent Arthur'l Adyilors wln


WAsHISeroS, March IA majority OF
the members Of President Arthur's Cabi-
net are preparing to take their departure
from Washington. Attorney General
Brewster has given up his fine house on
the corner OF Connecticut avenue and L
stree, and his furniture has been packed
and shipped to Philadelphia, for which
city he will leave in day or two. He
will there resume the practice OF his pro-
fession.
Secretary Teller will not move from his
residence on NJ street, as he has just taken
his seat again in the Senate, and will re.
main the greater part OF the year in WASH
ington. Secretary Frelinghuysen has I'D:
yertised his big, old d.fashioned house on I
street for sale, and he will make bis per
manent residence at Raritan. N. j. He
will remain in Washington, however, for
about month, during which time ex-
President Arthur and his children will be
his guests. Ex-Secretary cCultoch, be-
fore he entered President Arthur's Cabinet,
had q summer residence near Washing.
ton, in Maryland, and winter residence
in'this city. Retirement to private life
win not change his customary mode Of
living.
Et.secretary Lincoln will resume the
practice Of Law in Chicago. Heintendst to
be idle for a month or two before settling
again in the West and will retain his resi-.
dence on Massachusetts ayenne for few
weeks. Secretary Chandler, who hopes
TO be elected TO the Senate from New
Hampshire, will occupy his winter resi-
dence in this city until summer, when he
will remove TO the Granite State. Post
master General Hatton will get back into
the Burlington Hatrkeye office as soon as
possible. Next to being Postmaster Gem
eral he prefers editing q newspaper.

GALVESTON, TEXAS, March s.-The

The railroad men admit that the strike
has reached the most critical iuncture.
A report is current that Governor Ire

break the deadlock along the Texas Pa

reasons given for not calling the militia
into action to suppress tence-cutting.
The railroad men claim the State is
as responsible for loss arising out

ton Of property during the riots. The

A special from Longyiew says: All

Destroyed by Fire.
ST. Louis, March Five passenger
coaches ard baggage car were burned
in the Wabash yards this morning,
resulting in loss Of $4,000 to
the company. It is supposed to
have been caused by an incendiary
striker, though no arrests have been made.
Eighty men strhCk in the hridgeyards Of
the Wabash at Moberly, No., to-day.
There is a general feeling here that the
Missouri Pacific men will follow the lead
OF the Wabash.
The few men who left the Wabash re-
pair shop few days ago still remain
out, but their places are generally
filled, and the affair is considered
trifing one by the officers OF the
road. No action has yet been taken
by the Missouri. Pacific employees here

cept that perishable freight is not being Ia

WASHINGTON, D. G., March promptly
at 12 o'clock four OF President Cleveland'i
Cabinet, Bayard, Whitney, Endioott and
Garland, entered the office Of the secre-
tary Of State. Mrs. Endicott, wife Of the
new Secretary Of War, accompanied the
party, as did also Justice Field. Secretary
Frelinghuysen and ex-Assistant Secretary
Davis were present, also Senator Payne, oi
Ohio, and ex-Attorney General Pferepont.
The party then went to the room occupied
by Secretary Chandler, where Mr.. Whit.
ney took the oath OF Office as Secretary oi
tho Navy. 1nSecretary Ltncoln's Office,
where Lieutenant General Sheridan and
staff and other officers OF the War Depart.
ment had assembled, the oath was ad.
ministered to Mr.. Endicott. Mrs. .Endieott
entered the room on the arm Of Mr.. Bayafd.
Assoon as Justice Field had administered
the oath the various army officers were in
turn introduced to the new Secretary by
4If. Lincoln. Attorney General Garland
was sworn into office OF the Department Of
Justice. The oath was administered by
Justice Field, in tho presence Of Attorney
General Brewster, Secretarys Bayard,
Manning, Whitney, Endicott and Lamar
and a few others. Mr.. Brewster will con.
tinue to act as Attorney General until
Monday, when he will formally present
bis successor to the United States Supreme
Court. The party proceeded from the De.
partment OF Justice to the Treasury,

those already named, there were present
ex.secretafy cCulloch, Assistant Secre-

The formal transfer of the Treastry De.
partment from ex.secretary McCu1loch to
Secretary Manning, took place this morn.
ing. The new Secretary was escorted to
the department by the retiring Secretary,
who called at his house for him. Soon
after his arrival, Mr.. McCulloch presented
Assistant Secretaries French and Coon to
the Secretary. Mr.. Manning, who had
not vet taken the oath, said he would
probably qualify during the day, but as he
did not propose to enter actively into the
business OF the office until Monday, he
requested Assistant Secretary Coon tosign
the mail for him today as Acting Secre-
tary. Mr.. Manning and Mr.. McCulloch
then retired to The Secretary's private
office and remained closeted together for
several hours, talking over business and
the personnel OF the department. A large
number OF persons called 10 pay their re-
spects to the new Secretary, but were de-

yesterday in speaking Of tho change in
the administration, that he took It for
granted that Mr.. Manning shared the
views Of President Cleveland on the ques.
ton OF finance, and as the Presidents
views on that subject are in accord with
his own, lie did not anticipate any change
in the present financial policy Of the Gov
eminent. 3.tE.f

"How mayit be accomplished 2"

HOW may IT be Accomplishment"
Easily. l am reliably informed that
the interior counties OF the State, the city
OF Charleston, and other cities and large
towns are in favor OF allowing the separa.
ton: provided Pennsylvania will purchase
the territory It would probably require
an outlay Of $4,000, 600 or s., ,o00, 900, but
that would be small outlay compared
with tho benefits that would inure to
Pennsylvania. Wheeling sis city Of
nearly 10000 inhabitants. Within the
Panhandle are half.dozcn OF the largest
nail mills in the world. Every one OF
them, I am told, has a larger capacity than
any nail mill in Pittsburgh. Two OF the
largest glass houses in the country are Ii
Wheeling, while several smaller concerns
are in the city and vicinity. The natural
gas belt OF Brooke county Is one OF the
most valuable in the United States. The
fire brick, sewer pipe and manufacturing
interests Of Hancock county are very large
and valuable. The returns 10 Pennsylva-
mia from the addition to her tax lists
would more than reimburse her for the
outlay. / think the project perfectly prac.
ticable and feasible.n

Senator Scott Talks TO a aPlttsburgh Reporter
About It.
Hon. n. B. Scott, Of Wheeling, a mem.
Der Of the West Virginia Senate, was al
the Union depot last night en- route tc
New York, says the Pittsburgh Commercial.
Gasette Of last Friday, and it continues;
Senator Scott was the leader of the Re.
publican minority during the recent ses,
sion Of the Legisletureand mainly through
his efforts was the Mason tax bill Of Wall
street origin defeated in the Senate. Re.
ferring to the project to annex the four
Panhandle counties to Pennsylvania Mr..
Scott said: Nineteen out OF twenty peo.
pie in the Panhandle favor the measure.
Taxation is very onerous and high in our
State and manufacturers are the. large
sufferers thereby. A pointin illustration
The Junction or the old Mingo Iron &
Nail Works, has nail mill and two blast
furnaces
- ALL IN ONO,

ty. The Top Mill, in Wheeling, has only
oue lufuhce anu luht ds tnaly null ula'
chimes as the Junction, but pays $1,000
more taxes than the property across the
river. Determinations OF this kind have
discouraged Wheeling capitalists and
driven them to the erection OF factories,
furnaces and glass houses in Ohio. There
is ample room, better railroad and ship
ping facilities in Wheeling and vicinity,
but the expenses Of operating under West
Virginia taxation are too great. Again,
thefour counties composing the Panhandle
are the most wealthy and populous in the
State, and upon them falls largely the bur-
den OF raising the taxes for State pur-
poses, as many Of the interior counties are
thinly populated, have little II any valua.
BILE improvements, no manufactures or in.
dustrial establishments, in short, nothing
to levy taxes upon. In Pennsylvania
schools are kept up at county expense. In
West Virginia many counties, II they de-
pended upon the taxes raised in their own
midst, would have no schools. The larger
or rather the Weather counties, pay foi
the schools OF the back counties. There
are fifty good reasons why the cession oi
the four counties should made!n

The bar at the entrance Of the bay, from
which have been recently removed the

FACTS.

Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do we'll to carefully con.
sult the time tables of the Baltimore and
Ohio road. Its celebrated fast trains,
its sure connections, and rates always as
low as the lowest, make it beyond all
controversy the best line west. Colo
nists are carried in first class cars on fast
trains, and every possible care is taken
to insure comfort and convenience.
Trains run through without change of
;ars to Chicago, where direct connection
is made with al leading lines to the
west, northwest and southwest, making
hut single change of cars to Iowa,
K,usss, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota.
s.c. No other line can offer such advan.
tages as the Baltimore and Ohio.-I!s
costs but very little time and trouble
to learn this, and in the end may lead
to tie saving Of much Of both as well as
money. Above all things do not pur-
chase tickets before having talk or re-
ceiving letter from one of the B. & o.
