CHICAGO AND THE CABINET.
Several Men Available But Illinois VIII
Urge No Special Candidate.

Canton. Ohio, November 20. Major
Mckinley had several callers this morn
ing. Ferdinand Peck Of Chicago.
stopped on his way from New York. Mr..
Peck said to reporter that he did not
know that Illinois would press man for
the cabinet, though several men from
Chicago had been mentioned.
Discussing the rumor which referred to
Lyman j. Gage as cabinet posi- bility,
MIR. Peck said: 1.-THE election Of Mr..
Gage for the position now held by Score
tary Carlisle would seem happy one.
Mr.. Gage is an expert fnancier and a
broad minded man Of high reputation
and standing. How the appointment
would be regarded from political point
of view, I don't presume to say"
Eli Perkins was another caller at the
Mckinley residence ! He told Major Nc
Kinley that he had been in Idaho since
election. The people there are sorry they
voted for free silver and free trade for
their wool interests are six times as great
as their silver mine interests.

INCREASE OF ARTILLERY FORCE.
That the Greatest Need Of the Army at
Present.

Washington, Novem ber 2.-Tha annual
reports of the commanding officers of the
several military departments Of the army
we've made public today.
General Thomas Il. Roger commanding
the department of the East states that
the association of troops with the state
forces for the purposes Of instruction has
been productive of good results. He
deems it especially desirable that the
state armory organizations should be
drilled for seaooast 6cfensive purposes.
Few states for evident reasons have or
Renizations of heAN artillery. 1t would
be we'll, he says, that action be had to
induce in each state in which there are
seaooast defensive works, the designation
OF regiment or certain companies of
the state troops as heavy artillery, with
out abandonment necessarily of their In
struction In general as infantry.
Gen. Roger adds: 'sPractice CO has been
had by some and Is in progress by other
garrlsons OF heavy artillery with the new
high power guns and mortars at stations
where they are in position. Such practice
~ generally satisfactory in result. 1t
has been demonstrated that facility in
operating appliances for the use of snoh
guns is readily acquired by the men of
TIE batteries when intelligently directed.
1t seems almost superf1uous to allude
IN this report to the necessity for an in
crease of the artillery forcu so fully has
the case been presented in reports hereto
fore submitted by the war department.
The present force is inadequate as re-
liable basis for event of war with a
maritime power. The most pressing
need, in respect to the personel of the
army is an increase of the artillery
force"
He adds: "The present state is in
gratifying contrast to that Of few years
past"

cleveland, NOvm Der s0.-Cha1rman
Hanna of the Republican National com
mittee, had conference here today with
Ferdinand W. Peck Of Chicago. in which
the Hanna gave an inkling Of expression
by President-elect Mckinley in his forth
coming message which outlines the
future policy of the Republican organiza-
tion. According to Peck, Hanna, said
"The Republican party will not have
such close call again as it had in the
last Campaign. The work of education
is to be conducted strongly from the
present until the next presidential
election. The policy OF the administra-
tion will be in the exploitation of ideas
that will further advance the strength o.
the Republican party. The one great
power for Bryan was the workingmen.
The fight at the polls was not SO much
between the standards as she working
men against the man they thought was
the exponent of trusts and monopolies.
s'Tney were led to believe that Nc
KinIey was the candidate Of trusts and
was my candidate, and that was the
head centre of trusts. The Pnpocrats
adroitly made me the whole thing and
called me- the oppressor of labor. can
stand this sort of thing, but with Nc
Kinley it is different. The labor leaders
here who are friendly to me, tel me that
oounteraot this impression, and that is
what we propose to do.
We cannot do anything with the
farmers. They have left us. We can get
the labor vote and We shall begin now to
divert 1t away from Bryan and his party.
National legislation will be so handled
that 1t will be the best educator Of the
people. The fgLt of silver against gold
was practically abandoned by the Demo-
crats two weeks ago before the campaign
closed. 1t will never again be the main
issue. The one idea must be to instill
into the heads OF the men of the cities
that Republicanism is as good and better
than Popooraoy.
Mckinley will assume dignified
attitude of antAgonism to all trusts and
monopolies His inaugural speech will
breathe spirit of abhorrenoe for the
Capitalization Of such power as is today
possessed by the trusts. Then we will
expect the understanding of people to do
the rest for the following years. When
the public mind Is attuned to the idea
that Mckinley is the enemy of trusts we
shall have tariff measure introduced,
This measure will be closely identified
with Mckinley.
= Son that measure we shall make the
Presidential oampaignof 190O On tue
tariff agitation to win the battle. The
gold Democrats will be with MS in 1900.
Bourke Cochran said to me that they
could not fight us successfully on the
tariff, and there were no other points of
difference. That GLASS of Democracy
which Is not Of the laboring element and
not of the farm is with ua now and will
be with US four years from now. The
most difficult problom is the formation OF
a cabinet. Mckinley, abova all things
dislikes to injuIo the feelings Of any one.
There are SO many men eligible who are
friends Of Mckinley, that he fears to ap-
Point one man for fear others will fe.l

more acceptable or ap-
