would hamper the miners more than they
would help them. 1t may also be true
that laws to be passed by Congress, which
would be carried out by the constituted
authorities, would give relief where it is
needed. These are only suggestions. If
the appointment of a Secretary OF Mines
would help the miners there is no ques-
tion that it would be good thing. The
mining interest is of great and growing

would certainly be great benefit to the
mining industries all over the United
States. The Secretary of such depart
ment would be able to give great deal OF
very. useful statistical information upon
this, one of the largest and most impor-
tant OF industries. The coal mines of the
East the copper mines of the lakes and
elsewhere, and the gold, silver, lead and
Tin mines of the western half of the conti-
nent would all receive q zeal of benefit
from the establishment of such a Federal
institution. The farmers have their De-
partment OF Agriculture and a Cabinet
officer to preside over the same and look
after their interests; why should not the
miners be equally protected, provided for
and enlightened? Mining is of as much

I is known that Major Mckinley has a very
kindly feeling for Mr.. Depew, and the lat
ter's friends here assert that he would find
life at the court of st. James extremely
agreeable. He would have a great field
for speechmaking. and all of his work
would be OF congenial sort.
lit may be set down as certain that un-
less the unexpected happens Benjamin
Harrison will not be urged to take the
portfolio of State IN Major Mckinley s
Cabinet. General Harrison is not thought
to desire this appointment, and the belief
here is that the President-elect has about
decided to offer it to some one else.
A friend of Major Mckinley said to-
night that Senator Sherman undoubtedly
expressed the desire of most of McKin-
leys closest advisers when he said that
Congress should pass the Dingley bill this
winter. The new administration will not
care to be saddled with an extra session
Congress, and Major Mckinley will have
quite enough to occupy him in organizing
his administration.
Major McKinIey's advices from Texas
are OF most satisfactory character. They
indicate an increase in the Republican
vote OF the State of over 100 per cent In
Navarro County, the home of Roger @.
Mills, the great tariff reformer, Major
Mckinley secured plurality of 122 votes.
The county has heretofore been over

May Become an En- bassedor.

CANTON, OHIO, Nov. 14-President-
elect Mckinley passed another very. quiet
Sunday. Mr.. Webb Hayes, son of the
late President Hayes, came down from
Cleveland on a morning train, and spent
the day at the Mckinley residence.
Major Mckinley declared that his health
was never better, and that he had com
.pIeteIy recovered from the fatigue of his
campaign labor. Mrs. McKinley's health
has been so far restored that she was able
to go driving for half an hour this after
noon. Major Mckinley, accompanied by
Mr.. Hayes and Captain ID. 0. Heistand,
attended morning services at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Although various newspapers have pub
lished complete Cabinet outfits for the in
coming administration, it is safe to assert
that not one of them has been built upon
anything resembling authoritative an
nouncement from Major Mckinley or
those who are closest to the President
elect.
Ibis evident that the President-elect
has not made up his m ind as to the lorna
tion of his Cabinet, not even decided upon
the geographical allotment OF places
therein. 1t is further apparent that Ma
ior Mckinley will not consider Cabinet
candidates until after his return from his
visit to Cleveland. According to present
arrangements the President-elect and
Mrs. Mckinley will leave for Cleveland
on Wednesday morning.

CHICAGO, ILL, Nov. 15.-The TWENTY
fifth Ward Republican Club came 10
blows with itself last night and twenty
five policemen were required to restore
peace. The row occurred in Lincoln Tur-
ner Hall and over dispute between the
county faction and the city faction. The
trouble began when Congressman Foss,
for the city faction, moved that COM
mittee take the books of the society in
order to prepare for the annual meeting.
The county members, led by Sheriff Pease,
began an uproar. and center-rush was
made for the books. during which the
records were thrown out of window into
an alley and general mixup followed.
In the meantime riot call was turned in
and platoon of police soon put a quletus

Ex-United States Senator Charles N.
FELTON, said: 1 would not like 10 give an
opinion, off-hand, concerning the expedi-
ency of stablishipg the Cabinet position
of Secretary of Mining. The Interior De-
partment has administered the laws rela-
tive TO mines as they have been adopted
by Congress. There have been some
rulings by the Interior Department that
occasioned considerable discussions but
the laws generally reflect the experience
and wishes of mining men. Thus far the
mining interest has seemed to get along
very well under the Interior Department.
The question concerning the appointment
of Secretary OF Mines which may be
considered uppermost is whether such an
appointment will benefit the mining in
terest. l do not care to give an opinion
on that point. 1t may be possible that
new regulations could be adopted which
