WASHINGTON, Feb 4-Cabinet slat e
makers are very busy. The passage of
the Presidents recommendation that the
time for making a temporary Treasury
appointment be extended from 10 to 80
days makes the impression general that
Mr. Harrison will not finally decide to
select Secretary WINDOWS successor for
several weeks.
A report, said tc emanate from the
White House, is in circulation here that
Secretary Proctor might be transferred
from the War Department to the Treas
ury Department, and that either ex-
Assistant Postmaster General James S.
Clarkson or Ex-Governor Foster would be
made Secretary of War.
Friends of Assistant Secretary Nettle-

example of Mr.. Cleveland, and promote
him, as did the Democratic President Mr..
Fairchild upon the resignation of Daniel
Manning. They claim to have assurances
that this will be done.

mamma.

before Chief of Police Newcome, who
went to Roach's, and found the man
who had left the child. He gave his
name as G. S. Roberts, but would not &C.
count for the child giving her name as

Not at all. Tie passengers remained

made jokes about that which was not
funny at all.

ADRIFT ON ICE FLOES
Over One Hundred Fishermen
in Great Peril.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE FEARED.
They Were spearing Fish on Saginaw
Bay When the Ice Cracked.

The Waves Are Running High and Only
Cakes of Ice Between Them and Death.
One Party Rescued Nearly Dead With
Cold and HunGer-No Boats to Send
After the Unfortunates.
SAGINAW, Mich, Feb. 4.-More than
100 fishermen are floating out on the
angry waters of Saginaw Bay, with only
cakes of ice between them and death.
The waves are running high, and there
are fears that the ice may break and all
the men be drowned.
The men formed a colony, who every
winter build shanties on the frozen sur
face of the bay and catch fish for the
eastern market. Since the middle of
December there have been located on the
ice in the bay 1875 shanties, $50 men and
a number of horses.
Early Monday evening heavy wind, ac-
companied by rain and sleet, set in from
the south. The wind steadily increased in
violence until about midnight, when it
assumed the proportions of a gale. 1t
was especially severe on Saginaw Bay and
the greatest apprehension was felt in the
cities by friends of the fishermen. Dur
the night the ice broke up near the en-
trance to the river and huge masses began
to float away toward the Charity Islands,
In Lake Huron. 10 MAKE the maCCer
more serious the thermometer began
falling and soon dropped to zero. No
sound except the crunching of the vast
cakes of ice, the breaking up of the fish
ers' shanties and the roar of the wind
were heard throughout the night, and
the frightend fishermen slowly drifting
away from safety and help into the inky
darkness expected every minute to be
their last.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that
they maintained their positions on the
slippery, rocky foes.
4 Night of Peril.
In this perilous position, half frozen
and by fear appalled,, the colonists re-
manned until daybreak, only to find that
between themselves and land there lay a
dreary waste of water and greedy waves.
threatening to enguif them outside the
river. There were no boats to sead af-
ter tine unfortunates, and Providence
alone stood between them and death.
ALL day they hoated, but late in the af-
ternoon one large foe, with 10 men and
horse, drifted into the mouth of Guam
acase Greek, and the men thereon reach
ed the shore.
The men were nearly dead with cold,
fatigue and hunger, but they were soon
made comfortable at farm houses and
sent to their homes. Over 100 men are
still out on the bay, but the party rescued
believed they will reach a point of safety
before morning unless the wind should
change.
