PRIVATE SECRETARY TALK.
Many Candidates for tale Confidential
Position 10 Mckinley.

CANTON, O., Nov. Y, 1S96-Gen. Will
lam NJ. Osborne of Boston. Secretary of
the Republican National Committee, ar
rived from New York this morning. He
came West with Chairman Hanna, the
latter, however. went directly to Cleve-
land. Mr. Osborne said that there was a
great deal of Cabinet talk and conjecture
about the policy of the new Adrlinistra-
ton afioat, but that it was all guesswork.
Tt is the belief of the political prophets
here that General Osborne win be offered
either the appointment of Private Sec
rotary or that Of Consul General of Lon
don. He IS very close to Major Mckinley
and would no doubt be a very accepta-
BILE Private Secretary, but his own inclina-
tions may lead him into the foreign SER
vice.
There is good deal Of gossip about the
position of Private Secretary today Jo-
seph P. Smith. who has been mentioned
frequently in connection with the Office,
said this morning that he had not been
offered the appointment by Major Nc
Kinley, and that he could not accept it
II 1t We're offered him, for the reason that
he did not feel himself adapted to the Pc
'culiar kind Of work expected from pri-
vate secretary. Perry s. Heath is UNDER
stood to be an active applicant for the
post, and the name of Charles r. Dawes
Of Chicago Is mentioned in connec-
tion with it. No one has any rea-
son. however, for supposing that James
Boyle who is now Major McKinley's pri-
yate secretary, and who occupied that
position all the time Major Mckinley was
Governor of Ohio. may not be taken to
washington in a similar capacity.
Major MCKINLEY said this nocn that all
of the speculation about this appointment
was purely conjectural. There is album
dant reason for stating that no choice
has been made of a private secretary by
Major Mckinley.

OSCAR A POSSIBILITY.

Final Vote ON Venezuela.

WASHINGTON. Nov u, lSs6-The ad-
mission is made at the State Department
today that King Oscar, of Sweden, may
be called into the Venezuelan arbitration.
but only in case of a disagreement by
the four arbitrators appointed in the
first instance as to the selection of the
fifth member, when the King will be
asked to designate some person as presi-
dent of the tribunal
Ifiis is considered an exceedingly dis
tant contingency as no doubt is felt that
the four original appointees VIII have no
dIIhculty in reaching common ground in
the matter with the same facility that
they are expected to reach a conclusion
on the evidence in the boundary dis
pute. 1t is further said that it has never
been contemplated that the King himself
should be the final arbitrator or
that the tribunal should hold its
sessions in Norway or Swe-
den, although the locality is left
to their discretion. As all the evidence in
the controversy has now been collected
together in Washington there is sug-
gested a bare possibility that they might
deem 1t advantageous TO meet here. but
the documents and other data are rapidly
being arranged in such way by the Com
mission that they could be taken to any
desirable place without difficulty

HER BODY OUT IN TWO.
A YoungW oEsaan'a ssernaiRs Found in
a Field Murder Strongly Suggested.


ST. JOSEPH, Mo. Nov 70, 1s96-The
body Of an unknown young woman was
found buried yesterday in a field near the
city. It had been cut in two at the
waist and carried to the field in gunny
sacks, where two separate graves were
made, the head and trunk placed in one
and the lower part of the body placed in
another.
The burial place was near the insane
asylum and the employees there saw two
men ride into the field Tuesday night
on horseback. They dismounted and
opened the grave with a spade After
looking at the face Of the corpse they
rode away, leaving the grave uncovered.
The asylum employees went to the place
yesterday and found the body no one has
identified the body, and 1t is believed 10
have been brought from some other place.
That a murder has been committed
there is little doubt and an investigation
is being made by the coroner and the
police. The body has. been buried for
some time, probably for several weeks,
and was considerably decornposed There
was no clothing or marks of identiica-

BIZ Cable TO the United Press.

BERLIN. Nov. u, fS96-The Emperor
performed the ceremony of swearing in
the troops in the Lustgarten at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon in the presence of
the Empress, Grand Duke vladimir, Of
Russia. who wore the uniform Of the
Hussar Regiment; the Siamese Field
Marshal and the Imperial Princes, who
occupied the balcony of the Palace, fac
ing the feld-altar before which the cere-
mony took place. The weather was fine
and the scene brilliant.
After the administration of the oath the
Emperor, who was on horseback, ad-
dressed the recruits, saying:-'You have
now sworn an allegiance, implying obe-
dienee and fidelity until death. This oath
applies to me. your chief and your war
lord, and is sacred. as 1t is sworn to God
upon the crucifix. My house is Chris
tfan house, and is nothing without Christ
our Lord. Thus a soldier is nothing with
out faith. With q firm belief in Christ

suits suits oS,s9 yo9r SnI6son Sni6SGm as as wen as
will energeticaily defend the King and
Crown, especially in these times when dis
obedience and discomfort are rampant and
disloyalty is rife. I rely upon you to al
ways remember your oath. It is easy
for you to do your duty while the eye of
your superior is upon you, but it may be
difficult when you are alone, unpbserved
and exposed to the temptation of se-
ducers. Yet, remember your VOWS, if
you do your duty fully you will have the
strongest claims upon your country's 5
gratitude.
Il hope next year you will be present
to celebrate the hundredth anniversary
of the birth of the Great Kaiser, William

gained we will protect with our last drop

behave SO as not to be found wanting

THE CASTLE BRUTALITY.
The Accused Lady's Lawyer on an
English Legal Nenstrosity.
BIZ Cable to the United Press


LONDON, Nov u, 1S96.-Mr. Bernard
Abrahams, of counsel for the defence in
the case of Mrs Walter NJ. Castle. of
San Francisco, who pleaded guilty last
week to charges of shoplifting, was SEN
fenced to three months imprisonment
and subsequently pardoned, has sent to
the offices of the UnitedsAssociated
Presses the following communication
1T would appear from summary of
the opinions of the American press, pub
lished in yesterday afternoons papers,
that surprise is felt that Mrs. Castle, in
view of the medical evidence should have
been instructed to plead guilty The
present State of the English law in
regard to insane prisoners has been
overlooked Sir Edward Clarke stated in
court that If the law of England stood
as it did in 1883 he would have advised
his client to plead not guilty and con-
tested the case SO as to show the jury
that she was not responsible for what
she did, in consequence of sher mental
state, and she would have been, there
fore. entitled to a verdict of not guilty
in view of the absence of feloniouS in
tent which the English law regards as
essential. An act was passed in 1888 re-
lating to the trial of lunatics, which
provides that the jury shall return a
special verdict that the accused was
guilty at the time of committing the act
of which he or she was accused, though
insane. Thereupon the Court must record
the verdict and order the accused to be
imprisoned during her Majesty's pleas
ure.
IN view of this extraordinary and in
human state of the law, Mrs. Castles
advisers decided to enter a plea of guilty.
English legal circles approve the course
taken as the best, and the Home Secre-
tary's decision in favor of Mrs. Castles
immediate release justified the sound
ness of the counsels advice"
Mr. and Mrs. Castle hope to sail from
Southampton for New York on Saturday,
but if they are pursued by curiosity
seekers they will sail from France under
assumed names.

ANOTHER CITY HALL BLUNDBR.
Someone's Mistake Makes a Deprep
sion In the Sidewalk.

Owing to an error in the establish
ment of the grade for the grounds in
front of the new City Hall, the main
sidewalk leading to the front stoop is
pitched peculiarly. From the curbstone
in about ten feet it has an easy rise.
If the same grade was kept for the re-
mainder of the walk it would reach the
top of the basement windows. To remedy
the defect, however. a fall is given the
walk about half way to the stoop Then
there is another easy rise with the re-
suit that the middle of the walk is two
inches lower than it really should have
been. Water will collect there, but with
view to draining the low spot drains
are to be sunk at either side of the de-
preston. The different grades of the walk
give it an nnsightly appearance.
