TALK OF CABINET HONORS.
How Major Mckinley Will Distribute
 Portfolios.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-lt is stated ldhat Cornelius N. Bliss of New York will not be the secretary of the treasury under Mckinley, as has been announced, because the position in wolves duties too onerous, which he would not be willing to undertake. Mir. 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.
 As to the treasury, Henry c, Payne of Wisconsin, one of Hanna's confden- tial advisers, has the call. Payne is absolutely par excellence, and it is said would make splendid man for the place.
 The attorney -generalShip will be the place offered to the sound money Dem ocrats It is now said that ex-Con- gressman William D. Bynum of h. diana will be offered the portfolio now held by Harmon.
 General Russell A. Alger of Mich igan, who headed the campaigning generals on their triumphant tour of the south for Mckinley, is set down for the portfolio of war. Governor Will liam O'Connell Bradley of Ken yucky is said to be slated for the interior, al- though, according to some people here, another man has been selected, but j. is stated that Bradley will be the ap- pointee.
 Col. Nathan N. Scott of Wheeling is set down as postmaster general. Will liam l.. Wilson, a West Virginian, now holds the place and it is considered that i In view of the state going Republican and also in consideration of Col. Scott services he will be rendered the portfolio.
 The secretaryship of agriculture has not been placed. It will likely go tx some good western man like Thurstm
 who has been most active in McKin ley's campaign

CARTER IS PESSIMISTIC.
He Is Not Looking for Important Work
 by Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.-Senator Carter of Montana said today he saw no prospect of any important legislation at this session of congress. He did not believe the Dingley bill could pass and thought the session would be devoted to appropriation bills and sparring among political parties for position.
 As to tariff legislation in the next congress Senator Carter said he did not believe the Democrats would obstruct no matter what the silver Republicans might do. In his opinion those who were claiming and believed hard times could be secured by silver must allow Republican tariff legislation to be en- acted or they would meet tariff fight in the next campaign.

EXECUTION OF JESUS GARCIA.
Hanged at Las Cruces for Killing a
 Woman.

LAS CRUCES, N. .M., Nov. 1O.-Jesus Garcia has paid the penalty for mur- der committed at Uomaparda, small settlement in the northern portion of Dona Ana county, on the 18th of last July. The condemned man was escort ed from the jail to the scaffold in the count mouse yard by two deputy sher- ifs, and three minutes latter the black cap had been adjusted and the drop fell. There was not even a tremor of a muscle and fourteen minutes later the pulse had ceased to beat and life was pronounced extinct. Five minutes later the body was cut down.
 The crime for which the deceased suffered the death penalty was the murder of a woman named Isabel Mon toya de Chavez by shooting with a pistol, by which means three wounds were inflicted upon her, resulting in death sixteen days later. The mur- derer swore upon the witness stand that they had previously been lovers and claimed that upon the day of the tragedy he and the woman met by ap- | pointment in a secluded spot at which the shooting occurred, where they were then surprised by the woman's :hus- band, who first fired two shots at him and then killed his wife This state ment, however, was contradidted be- yond doubt by the testimony of other witnesses Garcia was found half an hour later concealed in the brush with a sixshooter in his hand with all the chambers empty except oEe.. Later the wounded woman made a dying state ment in the presence of Garcia, in which she sWore that he had shot her This statement was read to Garcia
 and upon being asked if it was true
 he admitted that it was. Later, wheI
 arraigned in court, he pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree. Int
 presiding judge appointed a member
 of the bar to consult with the defend
 ant, who then stated Ehat he could
 prove that he had not killed the wo
 man. His attorney then asked leay,
 to withdraw the plea of gull and en
 ter a plea of not guilty, which permfs
 sion was granted and the case wen to trial upon its merits, resulting Il the utter failure of the defendant tt establish his contention and the over whelmingly convincing proof of hi } guilt. His trial took place on Octobe 6 and the jury very promptly returne

A TRAMP'S STORY.
He Tells of Diabolical Attempt to
 Blow Up a Train.

CINCINNATI, O., Nov. IDA special from Washington, Indiana, says a tramp about i o'clock today found enough dynamite and nitro-glyeerine placed on the track near Mitchell, Indi- ana, to blow an engine to pieces as soon as it struck it. He ran to the nearest switch, tore off the lamp and returning, signalled an approaching express train. He was shot at by the wreckers and was found unconscious by the trainmen. Officers of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern are inclined to doubt the tramp's story, as they have no information of his being wounded, or having shown any dynamite. How ever, they will investigate.
