The Union Pacific's Probable Fate.

Regarding the rumored intention of the
Union Pacific management to turn over
that road to the government next year
when the first of its government aid bonds
falls due, General Agent Nsdeau of the
Northern Pacific yesterday said that in
his opinion the effect Of such action upon
trans-continental rates would not be de-
moralizing. The government would not
desire to keep the road and would shortly
after acquiring ownership sell it to some
other corporation. The only likely bidders
for the road would be the Ames syndicate.
which owns the Oregon Short Line and
other branches of the Union Pacific, and
the roads extending eastward from
Omaha, which are the Northwestern,
Burlington. Rock Island and Milwaukee.

DENVER, Feb. 4.-Dr. Thatcher Graves,
convicted of poisoning Mrs. Josephine
Barnaby, of Providence. r. l., and sem
fenced to be hanged, but subsequently
granted new trial. was released from the
penitentiary today and arrived in Denver
late this evening. He came here for the
purpose of furnishing bail pending
rehearing of his case Immediately
upon his arrival the formality of furnish
ing bonds was gone through with and the
doctor allowed his freedom. The amount
of bail is IS. 600. There is no probability
of his ever being tried a second time. be-
cause Of the great expense attached to .
trial and the absence of witnesses.

SNoHoNIsH, Feb. 4.-TSpecial. Since
last Tuesdays destructive fire discus
sion of the proposition for an organized
fire department and for city hall has
begun in earnest. The citizens generally
seem to favor the plan very much and
talk about the matter with vim. From the
color of their words it is certain now that
the people see how utterly unprotected
this city is against a serious blaze.
Although it is true the city owns some
few equipments in the items of a fire en-
CINE. hook and ladder truck and limited
supply Of hose, the utter lack of organiza-
ton is generally conceded as well as the
desperate want Of a properly furnished en-
CINE house. Because Snohomish is prac-
tically destitute of the latter no particular
blame can be attached to the frozen condi-
ton of the engine and hose at the time Of
last Tuesdays fire. One of the citizens
has suggested that city hall and engine
house combined could have been built
from the amount lost in last weeks fire
Since the city owns its own property. it is
likely that the city council will give this
subject some attention at its regular meet
ing next Tuesday night.

NEW CABINET SLATE.
Carter, the Great New York
Lawyer, Secretary of State.
GRESHAM HAS REFUSED OFFICE
Henry Willard May Be Secretary OF the
Intsrisr-A Foreign Mission for
Mr.. Whitney.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA local paper will
say: The belief is growing that James
Z. Carter. of this city, is now the choice Of
Cleveland for secretary of state, and in the
event of his appointment it is said that
Judge W. Q. Gresham is likely to have his
place as attorney in the Boring sea con-
troversy. There is good deal of dis
cussion over Judge Gresham, whose ap-
pointment to q cabinet office would be
received with disfavor by many Demo-
Gratis. 1t Is limited that Cleveland had
already offered Judge Gresham the office,
and whatever he was offered he dec.ined.
Henry Willard may be in the cab
met as secretary of the interior.
but his appointment would create con-
siderable talk because of his railroad
connections. Ex-Secretary of the Navy
William G. Whitney is no longer spoken
OF for cabinet portfolio. If Mr.. Whitney
accepts anything it will probably be mis-
sion to England or France. Gen. Patrick
Collins, of Boston, will likely be the New
England representative in the cabinet.
BosroN, Feb. l-Charles s. Hamlin was
asked today if he had heard anything off,
cial regarding the dispatch stating that he
had been appointed assistant secretary of
the treasury. He said Cleveland had not
offered him position in the treasury de-
partment.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4. - President-elect
Cleveland was closeted the greater part of
the afternoon with ex-Secretary Fairchild.
About o'clock Don NJ. Dickinson arrived
and Joined them. Others who dropped in
during the afternoon were Col. Joseph
Keller and Coils. Pepper and Brown, r. w.
Marsland and James Keefe, of Virginia.
Ex-Mayor Grace and Oswald Ottendorfer
were with the president-elect and ex-Secre-
tary Fairchild about three-quarters of an
hour. Col. Daniel Lamont and Senator
Mcclellan were also among Cleveland's
afternoon callers.
WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 4.-Senator
Gray of Delaware has declined the offer
OF the secretaryship of state, which was
rendered him by Cleveland through Don
NJ. Dickinson on Thursday. preterring to
remain in the senate. He had already de-
clined the attorney generalship. 1t is
said that Dickinson and Judge Gresham
have both declined partnerships.
MASON. Ia., Feb. 4.-Col. Mozambique
has received letter from the chairman of
the Democratic national committee, w. +.
Harrity. saying:
will not hold any position under the incom-
ing administration. My official duties at Har-
risburg, Pa, and my professional aud business
engagements here are OF such q character that
1t will be q great mistake for me to think of &C.
cepting any Federal position.

FAIRHAvEN, Feb. 4-ISpecial. IAN old
Indian of the Lummi tribe says that Sc
we're cod is experienced in this portion of
the state, with quite heavy snow. once in
seven years. He processes to belive that
the present "spell of weather" will be
much like that of 1872. when, he says. the
cold and snow lasted for six weeks about
as it is now. The memory of the oldest
inhabitant" here does not reach back far
enough to find parallel in severity to the
present weather.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Two families living in
the fiat building at 1911 Evans avenue
were asphyxiated by gas this morning.
The non-appearance of the people in the

had received orders yesterday
to repair a gas leak, suspicion became a
certainty. The doors of the fiat were
forced and William Drangel and his l.
year-old daughter, Alice. were found dead
Four Others were in a dangerous condi-
ton, but were resuscitated by the efforts
of the doctors. They are: Mrs. William

the president for the appointment of

Clarkson calls it the betrayal of
party trust and faith. and an act of per-
tidy, little short Of q moral crime. The
presidents action is called inexcusable
and indefensible and should not only be
condemned by Republicans, but opposed
by Republicans in the senate. A large
number of prominent Republicans here
telegraphed to the senators from Iowa to
vote against the confirmation of Jackson.
