CABINET GOSSIP.

If he will accept it, Senator John Sher-
man is likely to be Mr. MckmleyS Secre-
tary of State
1t NAV be stated with positiveness that
the secretaryShip of the treasury Will not
20 to New York, nor to any eastern state.
The Secretary of the Navy is expected to
come frcm Pennsylvania. A strong pull
is being made for Depew fol Secretary OF
State. and he might get it if Sherman de-
cined The friends of c. n. Bliss are put
ting IN a rival claim for Il cabinet position.
1t is almost certain that gold democrat
will be put in the cabinet W. Bourke
Cochran will probably be given 4 place.
The chances are against New Eng gland get
ting cabinet place, though there are CON
tingencies that might possibly decide IN
their favor one place.
The selections are now expected to be
made from among the following states:
New York, California. Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Illinois and Mis-
souri, In PENNSYLVANIA the choice lies be-
tween Hammer and Quay If Quay is Sc
lected, it will be expected that Harmer
will succeed him in the Senate, or, failing
in that, he will be given tirst-class for
eign appointment.
If Wisconsin gets place. it will prnba
bly, go to Henry c. Payne. In fact, it is
on account of him that Wisconsin is put
in the list. The Department of Agricul-

name of Chairman Gowdy is mentioned in
this connection, but it is said that there is
another man who may get it.
Charles T. Davis of the national eNecu-
tive committee is expected to 80 into the
cabinet from Illinois.
Mr.. Hanna could have any place in the
cabinet he would accept, but it is regarded

in connection with the cabinet, where the
mention is merely complimentary or on ac-
count of the conspicuous character OF the
men suggested.
Among these are Thomas b. Reed, OF

Gary, of Baltimore, for Postmaster Gener-
al: Whitelaw Reid, Secretary of State;
John S. Wise, Virginia, Attorney General;

BIG ADVANCE IN WHEAT.

The upward movement in wheat values
in New York was continued Monday from
the start and by noon scored new price
records, December SGs, or &c. over the pre-
vious highest price, and about two cents

Continued drought III India, less favor
able prospects in Russia and apprehen-
sons of damage in Argentina from locusts
were reported. The comparative scarcity
and advanced prices asked for spot wheat
in all primary markets was the chief home
factor.
Wheat futures opened fairly active at
tc advance, December at S5k. In the first
half hour it advanced to So, and by noon
to s65 From this price and under less
ened activity there was a sagging move
ment up to the close to So after sales at

The trading was not of large volume
and included limited buying early and sell
ing later for foreign account. Corn and
oats futures were dull and unrespOnsive
to the action of wheat all day.

Short Crops Abroad.

The Mark Lane Express, in the course
of Il long article on the crops, says: The
deficiency in India is now known to be
very serious, but it is not likely that any
large wheat imports will occur Although
prices only range from Pos, to Sos, per
quarter, the extreme poverty of the IN
dian populace renders ANYTHING over :}as
almost prohibitory, and lbs, to POS, is the
usual range.
Owing to the failure in India ana Aus
tralia a deficiency of ,n:53.Joo quarters has
been created in Great Britain's usual sup
ply, which must be made up from other
sources, and in a change in the situation
which itself is sufficient to uphold the re
cent rise. The quantities Of wheat on
passage to the United Kingdom on
November were 2,O41, 900 quarters. of
which Russian wheat amounts to 40o, 900
quarters, North American 100000, South
American 100000, California 222O. 600
and from elsewhere >, 900 quarters

In his annual report to the Secretary
Of War Maior-Gencral Miles, command
ing the army, says that fortunately
during the year the army has been
called upon only to a limited extent to
act either against hostile Indians or
against bodies Of men engaged i'll VIC
lating the laws of the United States or
international treaty obligations. The
personnel OF the army was never i'll bet
ter condition; the percentage Of viola
tions of discipline has been exceedingly
small. and the standard ofcnlistcd men
is constantly improving. The care ex-
ercised in obtaining suitable material is
shown by the fact that out Of 49, 40ap-
plicants for enlistment during the last
year only 400 were accepted.
General Miles recommends II liberal
appropriation for replacing the present
decaying and antiquatcd post buildings
occupied by the army. and especially
those on what was formerly the Indian
frontier, with new and sanitary strur-
lures.

Favor Currency Reform.

The resolutions presented Monday
at a meeting of the directors of the
Baltimore Chamber of Commerce IA
voring reform OF our currency are.
saws the Baltimore Sun, in a line with
general movement among the bust
ness men of the country toward taking
the government out of the banking
business. According to the resOlu-
tions. .the banking business of the M
ton should not be a function of the
government-notab the issue OF pa
per money, whether it be based on the
credit of the government. redeemable
in coin, or whether it be issued on the
strength of bullion deposits in its Gus
tody. The volume of money in circu-
lation should adapt itself to the ever
tluctuating needs ofcommercea and daily
life and the private means OF indepen-
dent agents, such as banks. should be
devoted to the special business of pro-
viding adequate resources for the vary
ing wants of the community by a fair
and unrestricted resort to the markets
of the world, drawing capital from the
cheapest market and dispensing an
oversupply when necessary. This Is
the philosophy of the whole matter and
the cure of the craze for imitation.
indianapolis business men are favor
ing an organized movement, without
regard to party lines. to bring about Il
reform of our currency system. There
is no longer any decided disagreement
as to the location of the weak spot i'll
our national finances.

The annual meeting of the Farmers
National Congress, being the first Pan
American agricultural parliament, con-
Vened i'll indianapolis in Tuesday. The
Farmers National Congress is composed
of delegates appointed by the governors
of the various states and territories, each
state being entitled to Us many delegates
as 1t has congressman and United States
senators. At the last annual meeting
thlrty-SlX states were represented by dele
gates. and the attendance ranged from
1,50o to 1000. An unusually large atten-
dance is looked for on account of the
liberal terms offered by the railroad. The
Pennsylvania system specially extends
reductions in rates that will bring
great numbers of farmers from theimmcnSe
section served by that railroad.
Among the toI les discussed are the
following: Conservatism of the Farmer
Element ''Sunshine and Shadow of Farm
Life, Farmers Wives, Their Needs and
Recreation" Paving Farms and Happy
Homes, secretary OF Agricultural
and Currency Questions agriculture

VENEZUELA QUESTION
SETTLED,

At the Guildhall banquet, with which
the festivities of Lord Mayors Day are
closed, it is the custom for prime minis
tiers to allude to important changes in af
fairs, foreign and domestic. Monday Lord
Salisbury seized the opportunity of the
banquet to announce that, in his belief, the
controversy with the United States i'll res
pect to the boundary of Venezuela is ''at
an end" arrangements o. an "obviouS'
and simple character having brought the
opposing parties into agreement. The
quo stion between the United States and
England has not been whether there
should be an arbitration of differences,
but what limit should be observed. The
English contention has been that it was
impossible to arbitrate British Guianas
title to districts long settled by her peo
pie. They have wished to exclude the
settled districts from arbitration \ d, =
tiniti0n of settled districts has been the
difficulty in recent negotiations. 1t has
been supplied, it appears, by Secretary
Olney, who proposes that the same lapse
of time which protects individuals from
having their title to land questioned
should also protect a government, and
when there is not "A sufficient lapse of time
to give title, equity should be considered
in the examination of disputed titles. The
81, otion appears to be simple enough. It
seems to amount to this, that the Nenczut-
Ian territorial dispute will be arbitrated
with an understand dim that districts shown
to have been settled by the English colon
lists should be conceded to England,
while England's equities in other terrific
~ not settled by either party will be con
sidcred.
