With Portfolios.

with PORTFOLIOS.
WHEELING, w. VA, Nov. THE fol-
lowing concerning McKinley's Cabinet
will be printed in the News Und.) to-
morrow: In this State the South is given
recognition by the award OF two places,
while the sound-money Democrats are
given one.
1t is stated that Cornelius n. Bliss OF
New York will not be the Secretary of the
Treasury as has been announced, because
the position involves duties too onerous,
which he would not be willing TO under
take. Mr.. Bliss, on the other hand, can
be Secretary of the Navy, if he is willing
TO take it. John Sherman, it is stated,
will be Secretary of State, if he will take
the job.
While Sherman's chief fame lies in his
ability as inancier, yet his work on the
Foreign Relations Committee of the
lomat quite as valuable as that of finan-
cier.
As to the Treasury, Henry c. Payne of
Wisconsin, one of Hanna's confidential
advisers, has tia call Payne is ABSOLUTELY
par excellence, ana it is said would make
a splendid man for the place.
The Attorney -Generalship will be the
place offered to the sound-money Demo
Gratis. Almost every utterance coming
from Major Mckinley since his election
has contained some kind words for the
sound-money Democrats who aided in bis
election, and has further emphasized the
idea that his victory was not partisan
one.
1t is now said that ex-Congressman Will
liam d. Bynum of Indiana will be offered
the portfolio now held by Harmon.
General Russell A. Alger of Michigan,
who headed'the. campaigning generals on
their triumphant tour of the South for
Mckinley, is set down for the portfolio OF
War.
Alger has bee n a leader for years, and
recognition OF his services would be appre-
ciated. Governor William O'Conneli
Bradley of Kentucky is said to have the
call for the interior, although according to
some people bere another man has been
selected. but it is stated that Bradley will
be the appointee.
Colonel Nathan N. Scott of this town
is set down as PostmasterGenera Will
liam L. Wilson, a West Virginian, now
holds the place and it is considered that in
view OF the State going Republican and
also in consideration of Colonel Scott's
services that he will be rendered the port
folio.
Colonel Scott said to-day that he did
not aspire to any position, but he did not
say that he would not accept one if
offered to him. The Secreteryship OF
Agriculture has not been placed. 1t will
likely go to some good Western man like
Thurston, who has been most active in
McKinley's campaign.

TINANs ARREsT IN FRANcE.
A Put Up job BetWee,t the English and
French Huthorities

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. IA London
dispatch says: According to police Off
cial high in the councils of Scotland Yard
end who has been talking to some of his
friends without the slightest idea that his
condolences would get into print, the ar.
rest of lyman in France was simply put
up job between the English and French
authorities for the purpose of making the
Gear feel assured when on French soil
that all possible sources of danger TO mis-
person were under surveillance.
According to the officer in question, if
the English authorities had really wanted
mo. ]" they could have captured him in
England, instead of in France, inasmuch
as he had bought his tickets for London
on the day before his arrest, fact known
10 the English detectives who were watch
ing his movements.
But the English Government did not
want lyman IN London, and, says the
officer in question: There was tacit
understanding all along that the French
authorities should arrest him for the
Phoenix Park murders and the police
should keep him snug and quiet while the
Gar was about, and then spare every
nody's feelings by refusing him extra
dltlon and sending him back to the happy
oumplng-ground of patriots who run the
murder and dynamite business as a spec-
ulation for profit.
The whole business has been managed
with good deal Of tact and make believe.
but IT the full story could come out il
wouiu cause as much of sensation as
some Of the alleged ouErages themselves. :"

Then 1t VIII Be Time Enough to
Summon Congress.
DETROIT, MICH, Nov. 7.-Senator Nc.
MILAN in an interview to-day in regard to
Mckinley calling an extra session OF Con-
gress after his Inauguration as President
said: 1.-THE less Congress is in session the
better. IL is impossible at this time to
judge as to the probabilities of special
session. We want to show how the Will
son bill will operate under the new order
of things. 1t depends upon importations.
If the receipts of revenues should be suffi-
cient to meet the expenses of the Govern
ment 1 doubt whether a special session
would be called. If, however, they should
prove insufficient prompt measures would
1 suppose be demanded. Republican &C
ton on tariff revision is in the future a
subject for consultation with the sound
money Democrats-a subject for consulta-
tion and compromise"

Should Messrs. Carter of Montana and
Shoup of Idaho, who supported Major
Mckinley in the campaign, ally them
selves with the dominant faction of the
party, the gold vote in the Senate after
March next would be AZ and the silver
vote 43.

sentatiyes in the Fifty-fifth Congress re-
mains substantially the same as at first

GUESTS OF Mr.. HANNA.
Newspaper Men Banqueted and
PreSe nted With Medals


NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. S-Mark A.
Hanna gave dinner tonight in the Ho-
tel Waldorf To newspaper men of New
York and Chicago who had been employed
at headquarters in both cities chronicling
events IN one of the most exciting polti-
cal struggles in the history of the country.
Not only did he give them a dinner, and
good one, but he also presented each re-
porter and correspondent with a medal OF
the size and value OF $40 gold piece. and
of absolute purity, in slight token, as he
expressed it, of the National Republican
Committees appreciation of the ability
and conscientiousness with which they
performed their duties.
There was no discrimination of party
in the presentation. Reporters for the
silver and for the gold papers were treated
alike, and the name of each recipient was
engraved on the face of the medal. The
medal was surmounted by a golden eagle
with outstretched wings, on which were
inscribed: mckinley and Hobart-Sound
Money and Protection"
Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of the Ma
tional Republican Committee, was also
present. He sat at one side of the festive
board, Mr.. Hanna sat at the other. Colonel
Perry Heath, chief of the campaign press
bureau of Chicago, presided, and Jules
Guthridge, who held the same position in
this city, was vice-chairman.
After the menu had been discussed and
the guests begun to seek solace in coffee
and cigars, Colonel Heath of Chicago pro-
posed the health of the host, Mark A.
Hanna. which was drunk amid cheers.
Mr.. Hanna, in briefly responding. said: :
Since the campaign enoed l have begun to
redeem my reputation. To say that I am en-
joying this evening would be but mildly ex-
pressing the pleasure of seeing these familiar
faces around me. When / began this cam
paign felt that 1 should be safe if 1 had the
friendship of the newspaper men. began to
diagnose the situation, and now that the cam
paign has been brought to a successful end I
don't mind telling you that l picked up
great m any pointers from you. 1 found that
every one of you was just as fully alive to the
situation as was. Nobody understands bet
ter than do in my position how important it
is to be solid with the newspaper men. They
gave me fresh inspiration every day during
the campaign. They came to me fresh from
the people whom they had seen, and mus (
say got as much information from them as
they did from me. l know they have done
their share toward writing the history OF the
campaign and l am glad that am in it with
them.
The chairman, Colonel Heath, then pro-
posed the health of Charles A. Dana, and
James Olmstead of the New York Sun
staff briefly responded.
There were calls for Colonel Heath.
Mr.. Hanna then arose and said that it
was Mr.. Heath who first suggested the
idea of "fiag day" and that he had simply
acted on Colonel Heath's suggestion in
adopting it.
Many witty speeches were made and the
conversation after dinner was brilliant.
No one enjoyed it more than Mr.. Hanna,
who swung around on his pivotal chair 10

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. THE
Pennsylvania shook off the lethargy to-
day that has paralyzed their football play
ing this season and took the scalp of the
Carlisle Indians by a score of 81 to O.
After having been unable to gain
throughout the entire game and having
been driven back upon their goal, the In
dians with ten minutes left to play secured
the ball on their forty-yard line.
BY desperate rushes the Indians sue
ceeded in getting the ball two yards from
Pennsylvania goal. 1t looked as if 10th
Ing could save a touchdown.
Straight into the mass of men Metoxen,
the Indian fullback, plunged, and a wild
shout rent the air when the players were
pulled off each other, and Metoxen was

has certainly got twelve of Kentucky's s
thirteen electoral votes. The official
count by the county canvassing boards
was com mpleted this afternoon, but the re-
turns are slow in coming in, and at this
hour-9 o'clock-it is impossible to give
the total vote with any degree of accu-
racy. The totals of the official count in
this -Jefferson-county have not been an
nounced, but Mckinley gained about $50
votes on his plurality of 1871. The last
edition of the Evening Times estimates
McKinley's plurality at CAB. The Posts
estimate is over 100.
The official count in most every county
heard from shows that Kast, the first Re-
publican, and Smith, the first Democrat o
elector, lead their tickets by from fifty to
100 votes, and this insures Bryan one

May Be Asked to Accept the Treas

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 7.-Republi-
can local leaders say that 1t seems to be
practically settled that Cornelius n. Bliss
will be President McKinley's Secretary Of
the Treasury. II is understood that the
President-elect has expressed desire that
Mr.. Bliss accept the treasury portfolio,
and is anxious that his selection shall
have the approval of the Republican Or
ganization in this State.
The selection of Mr. Bliss for this place,
1t was said esterday, will net be disap-
pointing or even unsatisfactory to local
Republican organic ations. In his capacity
as treasurer of the National Committee
Mr.. Bliss had to meet the local leaders
frequently, and friendly relations wera
established. So certain is one Republican
OF National prominence that Mr.. Bliss is
to be the next Secretary of the Treasury
that lie said at the Fifth-avenue Hotel
yesterday that he had positive informa-
ton that the appointment had been ten
dered and accepted.
Cornelius N. Bliss is in the wholesale
dry goods business and is interested as a
stockholder and director in several banks
and trust companies. For eight years he
has been the treasurer of the Republican
National Committee.
There is a provision in the United
States Revised Statutes which might
cause him to give up some of his present
business enterprises should he accept the
place OF Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..
Bliss dry goods business is said to be in
domestic fabrics entirely and he might
not through that come within the inhibi-
ton of the statutes. HIS relations with
financial institutions which deal in Coy
ernment securities, however, might need
to be severed.
