MORE AsPIRANTs,
FELTON, and Dolph Mentioned in Connec-
ton With the Cabinet.


ton With the Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, December th.-There have
been two names suggested, since the meet
ing OF Congl ess, as men eminently ouali-
tled to I'LL Cabinet offices in case General
Harrison should determine to give the Pa
cltlc coast representation in his official
family after March 4th. They are Charles
n. FELTON,, of San Francisco, Represent
ative from the Fifth District of that State.
and Joseph N. Dolph, Senator from Ore
gon. The last representative that the Pa
citic coast had in the Cabinet-and the first,
for that matter-was George H. Williams,
OF Oregon, who was appointed Attorney
General by President Grant, in 1872. One
year later Will:sms was nominated to be
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but
his nomination was withdrawn because it
could not be confirmed by the Senate
FELTON, is not candidate for any Federal
office. He has refused to allow his name
to be used as an applicant for the position
OF Collector of the Port of San Francisco,
and he declined to be candidate for Con-
gress again from the Fifth District because
his private business interests demanded
his entire attention; ard it is not known
whether he would accept Cabinet office if
1t were rendered him. Should President
elect Harrison ask Californian to go into
his Cabinet it is doubtful if the invitation
could be refused.
Senator Dolph would make an admirable
Secretary of the Interior, but his chances
for continuing in his present position are so
good that he would doubtless be reluctant
to resign the Senatorship TO go into the
Cabinet.
As heretofore announced in your special
dispatches there will be no black sheep in
the Cabinet and if any recognition is given
the Pacific coast, it will be offered to some
man of excellent private character, whose
nomination win be guarantee of his
faithful performance of the public duties
In the mean time the srrival of Senator
Stanford in Washington is anxiOusy
awaited by those who believe that be will
be instrumental in naming one member of
the next Cabinet.

Vandeyer's Bill to Divide California Into
Two States.
WASHINGTON, December 5th.-The dues.
ton of the division of Dakota Territory
into two States is likely to be followed at
no distant day by an agitation on the part
of the people of Southern California for the
division of that commonwealth into two
States. To-day Representative Vandever,
of the Sixth District Of the State, intro.
duced bill into the House giving the con
sent of Congress to division of the State
into two States, to be known as North Cali.
fornia and South California.
The proposed line of division begins at
the northeastern line of Alpine county, ad-
jacent to Nevada, few miles below Lake
Tahoe, aud runs III an irregular southwest
ern direction across the State on the line of
the northern boundary of Alpine, Tuol-
umne, Merced, San Benito and Mon terev
counties. The full text of the bill is as
follows:
Section 1. The consent of Congress is openly
giTen TO division of the State of California

with the counties of Merced, Mariposa and Tu-
olomne.
Section g. North California shall include in its
boundaries all the remaining parts of the State
OF California not included in the boundaries Of
South California.
Section 4. The division of the State of Cali
fornia as above indicated shall not take place
until after the question of State division has
been submitted to the people of the State at a
regular election. as the Legislature of the State
may determine and direct; and if a majority Of
the legal votes east ct such election shall be
found 10 be in favor of such division that fact

New York, December 5th.-On January
l, 1889, the Law requiring electrical execu-
uons goes into effect, but until to dav the
amount and character of the current re-
quired to make death certain and instan-
taneous mad not been determined
The experiments upon dogs last summer,

were criticised because the weight Of the
animals killed wss less ,han that Of man.
1t was supposed that a greater current
would be required 10 kill human being
on that account. This afternoon Brown
was given an Opportenity to make DEM
onstration before Eibridge T. Gerry. the
author of The electrical execution law. and
a committee appointed by the Medical So
ciety to report en- the best means Of putting
the law into effect.
The experiments were made at Edison's
laboratory, and the first victim was calf
weighing l244 pounds. The hair was cut
from the forehead and the spine, behind
the fore legs, and sponge covered plates
moisiened in q solution of sulphate
zinc were fastened in the place. The
resistance OF the aDimal was $500
pounds. An alternating current was
applied for thirty FIVE seconds and the
animal was dead. Ii was at once dissected
by the doctors ard the brain, heart end
lungs were found to be in a normal condi-
ton, and the meat was pronounced fit FIR
food.
The second calf weighed 145 pounds and
had resistance of 800 ohns A deadly
alternating current at 700 volts pressure
was applied for five seconds, and produced
death.
To settle permanently the weight ques-
ton, a horse weighing 1,230 pounds was
next killed by passing an alternating cur-
rent at 7O0 volts from one fore leg to the
other. The resistance of this animal was
| II COO ohms.
The experiments proved the alternating
current to be the most deadly force Enogn
to science, and that less than half the pres
sure used in this city for electric lighting
by this system is sufficient to cause instant
death.

on His Quail Hunt.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 5th.- General
Harrison and party left at 7;30 O'Clock this
morning over the Indianapolis, Decatur
and Springfield road, in special car. Their
exact destination was unknown to anyone
outside of the party, except the railroad
officials. 1t is believed however, that the
first stopping place was at Dana, in Yer
million county, rs miles due west from In
dianapols, and only about five miles from
the Illinois State line, where the party
alighted and spent the day beating the
bushes for quail, prairie hens and rabbits.
1t was the express desire of General Har-
rison that no reporters or correspondents
should accompany the party, but three
special correspondents followed them, tax
ing the regular express train westward.
The General will sleep tonight at a farm
house near Dana The party will return to
The city some time tomorrow night.
II is expec.td that Levi p Morton. Vice
President elect, will be in Indianapolis
early next week to call upon General Har-
rison. He will probably be accompanied
by his wife and two or three prominent
New York Republicans.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 5th.-A delega-

here about Wednesday of next week, con-
sisting of James G. Blaine, Senator His
cock, Warner Miller, and Chauncey De-
pew. They will remain several days and,
it is said, the New York member of

at that time.
Quite one-third of Harrison's mail con-
tains letters relating to Mr.. Blaine. The
Mugwumps advise Harrison not to have
anything to do with him; that his recogni-
ton, except in the most remote manner,
will prove heavy burden to the Admins
tration and may lead TO its defeat four
years hence.
On the other hand, the Stalwarts are in
