M'KINLEy HAS MADE UP HIS MIND.
List of Names Said to Have Been Sc
lected for the Cabinet.

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says: 1t is
now possible to give some important news
concerning the progress which President
elect Mckinley has made in making up his
cabinet slate. 1t is incorrect that Major
Mckinley has fully and finally determined
whom he will ask to be his ministers. So
far only two direct offers of places in the
cabinet have been made, one OF these to Mr..
Hanna who is not likely to be in the cabi-
net at all, and the other to Governor Ding
ley. But the president-eect has practically
determined the composition of his cabinet,
except as to one or perhaps two places.
Unless he changes his mind the following
will be the Mckinley cabinet when it is
finally announced:
Secretary of state, John Sherman of Ohio.
Secretary of the treasury Nelson Dingley
of Maine
Secretary Of war, Ex-Governor William r.
Merriam of Minnesota.
Secretary of the navy, Cornelius N. Bliss
of New York.
Attorney general Nathan Goff of West
Virginia.
Postmaster general. Henry C. Payne Of
Wisconsin.
Secretary OF agriculture, Judge Waymire

ANOTHER MEEKs MURDERER FOUND
Talks About the Crime When Drunk
-His Children QuestiOneI.

FULTON, Mo-, Dec. 25.-John Hall, under
arrest here for being drunk, is believed to
have been connected with the Taylor
brothers in the murder of the Meeks family
at Carrolton in 1895. Hall came in from the
country yesterday and went on spree and
during the night talked OF his connection
with the crime Today his two children
Mary, aged years, and boy, aged 4, were
found locked in a barn out of town, nearly
frozen to death, where they had been left
by their father. The little girl said she
used to live near the Meeks and play with
Nellie, the only survivor Of the crime. Her
grandmother, Mrs. Mary Clayton, lives at
Browning, according to the story of the
child, who says her father left that place in
May, 1895, and has been wandering around
over the country ever since. This was
just after the crime was committed She
was backward about anawerlng questions
saying that her papa did not allow her TO
talk much" II is evident that she knows
more about the crime. This morning Hall
refused to talk.

strong Plea for Stricter Economy In
Expenditures.

LINCOLN, Dec. 25.-(Special 1.-THE bien-
NAL report of the auditor of public accounts
was laid before Governor Holcomb today.
Auditor Moore prefaces his report with
strong plea for stricter economy in the ex-
renditure of state money, calling attention
to the fact that present appropriations
largely exceed possible revenues. He says:
1.-TWO years ago l called attention to our
financial condition and urged that better
revenue laws be enacted. Now, more than
then, IL possible, Is the necessity for a bet
ter financial system for the state apparent.
1t is an absolute physical and financial i'm
possibility for the state to have any salts
factory relief under our present imperfect
revenue system. The appropriations largely
and necessarily must exceed the possible
revenues of the state with our constantly
increasing expenditures and as certainly
a decreasing revenue. The state board of
equalization is powerless to remedy the con-
dition that confronts us until 1t Is given
more extended authority than now. Assess
ors throughout the state have been con-
stantly reducing values until the assessed
valuation of Nebraska for 1896 is $l67 07S,-
27O.37 as against a valuation OF $l94, 1888 124,73
in 1898, or total reduction OF $27 655 O5436,
while the rate of tax levy has increased
from $40 mills In 1893 to III mills in 1896,
and still we fall far behind tha revenues OF
1898. Our laws should authorize the board
to increase or decrease valuations, or
greater latitude should be given In the rate
OF levy, or, what might be better. the sew
eral counties should be charged with a spe-
cihc sum to be raised and paid into the
treasury in cash, based upon the actual
values of the counties, as nearly as can be
determined and then distributed after 1t
reaches the state treasury. There Is a rap
idly increasing delinquent list of taxes due
the state, amounting now to $3.50 69276,
belonging to the general fund.
IN THE GENERAL FUND.
nut Of panpraI
warrants in the amount OF $l936273H and
in the state treasury belonging to the gem

now held by suspended banks on state de-
posltory bonds will be promptly applied to
the payment of the floating debt so far as 1t
viii go. The appropriations OF the last ses-
sion OF the legislature were S278i 6Si6O.
while the entire possible revenue OF the
state for the same period is but $23S3 ,G957S,
or $4OO,9SS,s2 less. The entire appro-
priatlOns for state expenses for the ten years
ending November 30 1896, amount to $12.-
$50 6S5.27, and the entire tax levies, for all
purposes, are $G3l .665.19 less than the ap-
pTopriations for that decade, or $l2,358,-

QUIET CHRISTMAS AT HAVANA.
People Too Poor to Indulge I'm Any
Particular DispIny.

Copyright, 1896. by Press Publishing Company)
HAVANA, Dec. 25-(New York World
Cablegram 49, Special Telegram.) christmas
eve, usually an occasion of hilarity here,
passed in comparative quiet. There was
music, as usual, on the plaza and few
people danced and sung in the streets until
morning but the general aspect OF the city
suggested the fact that IL was under mar
tial law, although no increase OF the mill
tary is apparent. The customary midnight
mass at the different churches was sus-
pended. The people as a rule remained at
home and ate roast pig and roaster chest
nuts, the conventional dishes. Everybody
is too poor for display.
Consul Brice at Matanzas has informed
the state department at Washington that a
hostile demonstration against the consulate
was contemplated three days ago The
people of that city are greatly incensed over
the speeches in the senate. The governor
of the city becoming aware of the intended
demonstration, sent word to the leaders
that he would lock them In the calaboose II
they started any disorder. Consequently
nothing occurred. Consul Brice stated that
he cautioned the American citizens to be
prudent and avoid discussion of politics.
The consul Is a timid man. Last winter
he became alarmed and sent an excited letter
to Consul General Williams stating that he
expected trouble Consul Williams ridi-
culed his fears and time proved that he was
right. Considering the excitable nature OF
the lower classes in HSvana, all of whom
are suffering from the business depression,
1t Is remarkable how quiet they are. Small
pox and yellow fever continue. Smallpox
has increased in the last few days.

CLEVELAND, Dec 25.-Concerning a
statement sent out from this city to the
effect that the health OF Hon.. NJ A. Hanna
is breaking down it may be stated that
while the national chairman has been
slightly indisposed for the past few days,
his general health is excellent For sew
eral days he has suffered from severe head
aches, causing insomnia to more or
less extent. The attack, however, is ex-
pected to be only temporary. Mr.. Hanna,
after a drive this morning, returned to his
home on Lake avenue, where he ate Christ
mas dinner W tn his family. 1t Is likely
that the chairman and Mrs. Hanna will go
south for a few weeks sometime next

M'KINLEY is HIS MOTHERS GUEST.
Christmas Day nt Canton Passed in
GOOD Old Enshionch MnN.

GOOD Ola Fashioned Wuy.
CANTON, o., Dec. 25.-Ideal Christmas
weather prevailed in Canton today. Pres
ldent-elect Mckinley and his household made
the most of the opportunities offered No
thought was given to work or business during
the day. Private Secretary Boyle Joined
his wife and daughter at Columbus, Hon.
Joseph =. Smith went to his home in Urbana
and others of the official household went
to their homes. The greater part Of the
morning Major and Mrs. Mckinley spent in
driving about in double-seated cutter,
having with them on their little jaunts the
various members of the family at the old
homestead where Mother Mckinley and her
daughter. Miss Helen, reside. At this modest
little home the president-elect ate his Christ
mas turkey. 1t is many a year since he
ate Christmas turkey any other place, no
matter what has been his official position.
Today's gathering was strictly a family
affair. The dinner was served at the old
fashioned hour of midday and digested while
the family sat around the open fire in the
sitting room ard discussed matters of inter-
est to the family. The evening was spent
at the majors home with the guests at the
dinner party and a few close friends who
dropped in informally. Several young peo-
pie with musical accomplishments we're in
the party and sang and played the favorite
selections of Mrs Mckinley. There were a
few social callers during the day, but they
were not numerous, ard there was none from
out of the city whose mission was of public
significance. The seasons greetings came by
letter and by wire to Major and Mrs. Nc
kinley from their friends in all parts of the
country, and there was also a number of
pretty mementoes sent with the well wishes
of friends and admirers.
