1t indicates that the government is
getting in readiness to move in the

been held by the government for so

however, these animals never became
common, but on the contrary required
the greatest of care to preserve them
from the vampires. Domestic animals,
like man, sleep at night, and here the
bats have the advantage of them, while
the wild quadrupeds of the forest range

that peccaries roam securely and are

CABINET HOROSCOPES.
Among the Guesses Are Carlisle, Phelps.
Herbert, Lamont.

Herbert, Lamont.
WAsHINGTON, Dec. 3l-Most the
people in Washington interested in the
gossip relating to Mr.. Cleyeland's cabi-
net selections have settled down into the
belief that Senator Carlisle is TO be sec-
retary of the treasury in the next admin
! istration. They are the more inclined to
this from the fact that the choice Of Sen
ator Carlisle would prove satisfactory to
everyone.
Among the guesses Of the other de-
partments is that of ex Minister Phelps
for secretary of state, who divides with
Don NJ Dickinson in the Washington
mind the best chance for that portfolio.
Representative Herbert, OF Alabama,
and ex Private Secretary Lamont are
both talked of for the navy department.
General Patrick Collins, of Boston, is
talked Of for secretary of war. For the
department of justice the names most
generally mentioned are those of Repre-
sentative Culberson, Of Texas Martin F.
Morrill,, of this city; Representative Will
son, of West Virginia, and Hon, J. Ran
dolph Tucker, of Virginia.
Representative Blount, of Georgia, who
has served for many years on the com
mittee on pO5totfices and post roads in
the house Of representatives, is talked Of
for the head Of the pOstOttiCe department,
and may get the place if Mr.. Herbert,
from the adjoining state, does not get
the navy department. He might be ap,
pointed anyhow. though it is thought TO
be more probable that in the event of the
selection Of Mr.. Herbert a western man
like ex Governor Campbell, of Ohio,
(who, however, says positively he is not
a cabinet possibility, will be appointed.
Of the interior department of Mr.. Nor
rison, Of Illinois, Mr.. Gray, of Indiana,
and other men from the western and far
western states are talked Of, and the agri
cultural department, it is said, will go to
Mr.. Hatch, of Missouri, or TO some demo
crat from the northwestern states.

KsNNA DANGEROUSLY Ill.
West Virginia senator Has Relapse and
the GraveSt Apprehension Is Felt.

WAsHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Kenna,
of West Virginia, who has been seriously
Ill for several weeks from complication
OF diseases, but who has recently been
considered out of danger, bad a relapse
yesterday and his family believe that he
would not survive the night This morn.
ing lie was slightly better, but not sut1i
ciently to allay fears and the gravcst ap-
prehension is felt.
DR.. Powers, Senator Kenna's phvsi-
clan, said this evening that when he vis-
itcd the senator at p. m, lie was very
i'll. The doctor did not, however, ap:
prehend that he would die to night. SEN

8LAlNE'S BAD DAY.
Mr.. Blaine suffers a Relapse but His
Condition Is Not Alarming.

Condition Is Not Alarming.
WAsHINGToN, Jan. 2.-"Mr. Blaine is
not as well as he was yesterday" said
Dr. Johnston about 3:3O this evening"
"Mr, Blaine is about the same" This
was what attendant at Blaine's residence
said. The hour was 8 o'clock p m.
Mr.. Blaine" DR.. Johnston said, cha.
not, however, suffered relapse such as
that which occurred fifteen days ago.
He is simply not as we'll as he was Sun,
day. Yesterday ne was feeling very
good. He has his good and his bad
days like most other invalids. There is
nothing in his present condition to ex-
cite alarm and do not expect to see him
again to night
There was rumor on the street this
evening that Mr. Bl4ine had suffered a
relapse, but later intelligence had a re
assuring effect and it is not thought that
anything serious will threaten him to-
night.

The Storm.

The storm along the New York and
New Jersey coast on Wednesday night
was one OF the most destructive in re-
cent years. Great damage was done to
the seaside resorts, particularly at
Coney Island, where many pavilions
and lighthouses were DESTROYED. The
Manhattan Beach Hotel was slightly
undermined, causing it to settle d
places. 1t is estimated that 400 vessels
were blown ashore in New York bay and
Long Island sound. AT Asbury Park
N. j., the board walk was badly damag-
ed. The Casino in Atlanta CITY was
unroofed, but change in the wind
saved the city further damage. AT
Cape May the lower deck of the iron
pier was washed away. The fishing
schooners Mary F. Kelly, Empire State
and Ella NJ. johnson were wrecked on
the New Jersey coast and twenty-five
lives were lost.

cheers, roundly given, for 1.-THE next

was in waiting with handsome four in
hand team and escorted him to his resi-
dence, on South Main street. Colonel
O'FerraH was rendered serenade at
highland a number of his friends of both
political parties assembled to tender
their congratulations There were many
ladies in the party, and the Colonel's
handsome residence presented a gay ap-
pearance for several hours.

Is the Situation Improving?

The last few days seem to have devel-
oped number of interesting features
in the general business situation. The
most encouraging of these are the heavy
receipts of gold from abroad, and the in
creased inquiry for merchandise. Lit is
evident that there is an enlarged de-
mand throughout the country for raw
AMI steel lines 1t cannot be said that
there has been any marked increase in
the volume of business during the past
week, but the feeling is undoubtedly
held by some that the prospect of legis-
lation is having an effect on the general
situation. The financial situation re-
mains almost the same as the banks still
draw the lines very closely and the ac
com nodations they give are limited to
the most urgent needs. Business re-
ports from most quarters are rather IA
vorable and occasion the hope that bet
ter conditions may develop in the near
future. Industrial establishments are
resuming operations slowly, and it is ev-
inent that for some time to come, bus
mess will be run on the most conserva-
tive lines. 1t is hoped that the worst
that will come to the industries of the
country through the present depression
will be restricted production and tenn
porarily diminished profts.-American
