of Maine.
Secretary of the treasury-Cornelius
n. Bliss of New York
Secretary of war-Russell A. Alger of

Chairman Mark Hanna has decided
TO have the permanent headquarters
of the national Republican committee
in Washington. where he can be in
closer touch with the administration
and the leaders from various parts Of
the country
The next fight for the Republican
party viii be the congressional cam
paign of 1898 and bv having the head
quarters in Washington Mr.. Hanna ex-
poets to draft all the cOngr5 5ssmen more
directly into service. and make them
effective parts Of his new national ma
chine. Ehe congressional campaign
Will be conducted under more direct su-
pervision than ever before of the party
organization. and Mr. Hanna's new
machine VIII get into working order
Tor the nghr OF 1900.
There mas been much talk about the
possibility of local trouble like the Car
held-Conkling fight over the question
of appointments, and il is pointed out
that the situation this year is similar
in many RESPECTS 10 the political 07fN-lID
in 1881.
The advisability Of having a sound
money Democrat in McKinley's cabi-
net as reward for that factions i'm
pOrtant services in the campaign is be-
ing discussed by every Repu bHcan
leader, and most of them have not made
up their minds whether or not it ought
to be done.
They have all paid tribute to the 10y
atty and patriotism of the Democrats
in eulogisuc terms, and freely said that
some recognition should be given in re
turn, but the cabinet proposition is
causing doubt.
Republican leaders like MI Hanna,
AIr Platt General Tracy,A Mr. Bliss
and members of the national commit
tee declined yesterday to express any
opinion on the subject, generally reply
ing to the question that they had con
fdence in AIr Mckinley's Judgment,
and would not presume to advise him.
II think that cabinet position might
well go to OUT faithful allies, said Ed
ward Lauterbach chairman of the Re
publican county committee. They Ger
tainly have earned a reward of honor.
But at the same time, lit is question
for grave consideration lit is not so
much a matter Of the place being due,
as It'd is the political adVisa bility of put
ting Democrat in the cabinet couacil
of a Republican president. The ques-
tiOn is one that must be decided only
after all the ground has been carefully
gone over"

South Dakota is Apparently Without
Any Regulation of the Traffic

Chicago, ILL.,. Nov. 1O.-A dispatch to
the Times Herald from Aberdeen. S. D.,
says
AS the prohibition law of the state
was enacted to prescribe regulations
for the enforcement Of the provisions Of
article "A of the constitution Of the state
Of South Dakota, entitled 'PrOhibition,
it is maintained by several local attor-
neys and ex-legislatOrs that the law, 50
dependent upon the constitution was. to
all intents. repealed by the vote on Tues
day which repealed the prohibitive ar
ticle; jim other words that South Dakota
has no law calculated to regulate the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquor
These authorities are inclined to hold
that the state viii be in their possession
from the time the official canvass of the
vote is announced until the legislature
meets in January and enacts a license
law or makes some provision.

ST. LOUIS BALLOT MIXUP.
It is Claimed That All the Return s
are Incomplete

st. Louis. Nov. 10-The point is raised
by Judge Dillon that all the St. Louis
returns, which are now being canvassed
are incomplete, inasmuch as they do
and the cause therefor These rejected
ballots are in envelopes properly mark
ed and sealed and can only be got at by
breaking the seals. The law says this
must not be done except by order of the
court in case of contest inside of II
months from the date of the election
City Counsellor Marshall has advised
the election board to break open the en-
velopes of the. various precincts and
thus complete the returns.
The raising OF the point promises all
kinds of entanglements and several con
tests are likely to result.

Votes Changed in Last Three Days.
Hone. Ark. Nov. 1O--A public recep-
ton was rendered Senator James K
Jones at the opera house in this place
yesterday afternoon.
The meeting was arranged for the
purpose of allowing the senator's
friends and neighbors to show their ap-

paign and the obstacles that had to be
met He said that the result was vic
tory for the DemOcra tic party. He said
that while they had lost the election.
they had not lost the fight. The cause Of
silver was stronger today than it was
when the campaign opened, and victory
was assured in 1900. He paid a high
tribute to w. J. Bryan and said he had
made one of the most wonderful fights
that had ever been made by any leader
He said that the large number of
commercial orders placed previous to
election day and contingent upon Nc
kinleys election had been made use Of
in influencing the votes of Workingmen
and had caused thousands of BRYAN
men to vote for Mckinley and that
Bryan lost the election by the changes
made during the last three days of the
campaign.
The senator did not make any effort
at a set speech, but talked to his friends
in a conversational tone. His remarks
nevertheless, elected generous applause
His farmer friends were out in force
and many POpulsts and Republicans
were in the audience and joined in to
make the welcome a hearty one Sena-
tor Jones will remain in Hope several
days before leaving for Washington

TRAMP SAVES A TRAIN.
Prevented a Wreck by Waving c
Switch Lamp-Shot at by the
Wrec<ers.

Cincinnati, Nov. 10.-A special from
Washington, Ind, says a tramp saved
an express train from being wrecked by
dynamite q short distance east Of
Mitchell, Ind. The story is that the
tramp about 1 p. IN. found enough dyn-
amite and nitro-glycerine placed ON the
track to blow the engine TO pieces as
soon as it struck it. Having no other
mode of signalling. he ran to the near
est switch, tore off The lamp and rec

train. As he was doing so, he was shot
at by the wreckers and was found un-
conscious by the trainmen.
The officers of the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern are inclined to doubt the
tramp's story as they have no infOrma-
ton of his being wounded, nor Of his
having shown any dynamite. However,
they have ordered bloodhounds to- the
scene and viii Investigate the matter.

PUT PRICES UP.
Lumber Men Advance the Price Of
Lumber Considerably

Aum Der GO4SlQaIaDAy-
Chicago. Nov 1O-The Tribune says.
The Lumbermen's association Of this
city met with a full attendance last
night. and advanced prices from so
cents to 81 a thousand feet. and say
they may go still higher. Lumber has
been on a steady decline since 1898 The
dealers who boosted prices say they
have only taken a step toward the pIi-
ces they Will ask before next spring If
the tide of prosperity continues. Some
dealers believe that lumber viii sustain
an additional advance of from 81, to 81.
a thousand feet, the increasing amount
of building serving as the warrant for
the subsequent advances
Another thing that contributed to the
advance was the small quantity of lum-
Der in the city. at present, being but 60
per cent of that on hand last year
Then at this season of the year the
lake traffic companies increased freight
rates. This makes the expense of bring
ing lumber to Chicago greater.
The dealers say the advance is not in
the nature of boom, but is the logical
result of the conditions following upon
the election of Mckinley.
