JUDGE M'KENNA OF CALIFORNIA
Now Prominently nenti0ned as a
Cabinet Possibility.

CANTON, Dec. 1O.-A new name has
swung into prominence here to-day as
a Cabinet possibility from California,
and for the moment is more eagerly
discussed than We're the names of
Judges Waymire and De Haven in their
turn. The man of the peoples choice,
according to the unofficial makers of
the Cabinet, is Judge Joseph McKenna.
who was appointed to the United
States Circuit Court bench by President
Harrison. Judge McKenna was an in
dustrious and able member of Congress
and served during a portion of Major
McKinley's term in the National Leg
islature. He is well known by the Pres
ident-elect.
Mrs. Mckinley left tonight for a
visit in Chicago with her cousins, Mr..

that city, who have been guests at the
Mckinley residence for a few days
past The party was composed of Mrs.
Mckinley and maid, Mr.. and Mrs. Mac
Williams and Mr.. and Mrs. Morse of
San Francisco, who have been guests of
the McKinleys. Mrs. Mckinley will
probably be away for a week, and
while she goes to rest and get change

BEHRING Sea CLAIMS.
CASE OF THE CAROLINA BEFORE
THE COrl1ISSION.
Evidence on the British Side Nearly
Completed-The Citizenship of
A. F. BechteI.

VICTORIA (B. c., Dec 1O.-The
British case in behalf of the schooner
Carolina claims having been practic-
ally completed before the Behring Sea
Claims Commission this morning, Don
NJ. Dickinson obtained a postponement
of the hearing of evidence until to-mor-
row, so that he and his colleagues
might have time to look over the British
evidence. He. however, put in some
preliminary evidence so as to save as
much time as possible.
Upon Mr.. Dickinson starting to read
extracts from the United States case
presented at Paris Mr. Peters took OBJ
lection that while it was quite compe-
tent for the United States to use any
of the British case at Paris against the
British side now, it was not permissible
that the statements made by the United
States at Paris be used. unless simply
qualifying the extracts from the United
States case used by the British before
the present commission.
Dickinson replied that the extracts
were simply qualifying extracts read
by the British side. Peters had read
extracts from the United States case
to show that seals had been numerous
in Behring Sea in 1856. and the extracts
from the United States case he now
wanted to read were to show that even
If they were that was no proof that
sehooners could have caught them.
Peters held that the extracts were
not qualifying but distinctly different.
The Commissioners, however, decided
that Dickinson could read his extracts,
and that gentleman proceeded to do so.
They We're from the affidavits of wit
nesses for the United States. stating
that o-thirds or even more of the
seals were lost to hunters
Dickinson next wanted to put in the
naturalization papers of A F. Bechtel.
for the purpose of showing that Bechtel
had been United States citizen before
he became British subject. Bechtel.
it will be remembered, had a mortgage
on the Carolina when seized, and only
became a British subject some years
later.
Peters objected to the naturalization
papers going in as quite Irrelevant He
objected to the citizenship of Bechtel
coming up at all. However, that was a
question which will no doubt come up
on final argument.
Dickinson withdrew the papers, and
after the United States had put in
letter from the Department Of Fisheries
OF Canada, dated July 2S. 1887, to show
that Mr.. Munsie had been informed
from Ottawa of the decision of the
United States Government in April of
that year TO give back the schooner
Carolina, the commission adjourned.

Not q Single Person on Board the
Vessel Saved.
The IIl.Fated Ship Carried a Passenger
List of Two Hundred and Ten
People, Consisting of 113 Russians,
IS Galicians, 81 Spaniards and One
German, Besides Crew of
Seventy-Eight Persons.

CORINNA (Spain), Dec. 10.-The Ital-
ian steamship Salier, formerly the prop
erty of the North German Lloyd Com
pany, fOundered off the Spanish coast in
the recent heavy gale. All on board per-
ished.
The Salier was bound from Bremen to
Buenos Ayres via Corunna and Villaga-
rica.
The passengers were mostly in the
steerage.
NEARLY THREE HUNDRED LOST.
LONDON, Dec. 1O.-Lloyds' agent at
Vigo telegraphs that the Salier has been
shoals. Not single person on board the
steamship was saved. 1t lie believed in
London that the disaster occurred on
Tuesday, when terrible gale along the
European Atlantic coast did extensive
damage to shipping.
Llyods' agents here discredit the re-
port that a large number of emigrants
We're on board the Salier, but they do not
deny it.
A dispatch from Bremen asserts that
there were 210 passengers on the steam
ship, including one German. 113 Rus
slams, 30 Galicians and 61 Spaniards,
and adds that it is feared that all of
them We're lost. The crew numbered
seventy-eight persons.
The loss of the Salier is another of the
series of disasters that have attended
the fortunes of the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company. 1t calls to mind
the frightful loss of life that occurred
early in the morning of January 80,
1895, when the steamship Elbe, belong
ing to that company, was run into in
the North Sea and sank by the British
steamship Cratonie, when nearly 300
people lost their lives.
