ments to Be Made.

Canton, o., Nov. 19-There were no
callers of political Importance at the
Mckinley residence today, though the
report that General Horace Porter, of
New York, was i'm Cleveland, and eX-
pected to spend the night here, set
tongues wagging. General Porter did
not come, however, but will visit Can
ton few days later on his return from
st. Louis. He Is talked of in connec-
tion with the position of secretary of
war. Colonel Fred Grant and General
X. f. Alger. of Michigan, are the other
names still most prominently mentioned
In that connection.
The cabinet makers are suggesting
John Russell Young, of Philadelphia.
for secretary of the navy. and rumors
come from Chicago that Lyman Gage,
president of the First National bank
of that city, may be urged for secre-
tary of the treasury.
The statement that Joseph =. Smith
Is to be appointed marshal of the Dis
trict of Columbia has not been verified.
Mr.. Smith is one of Major McKinley's 8
efficient and loyal adherents and his
selection for this or an equally good
place would be no surprise. The office
of marshal of the District of Columbia
Is worth about $4,000 year and has
held by such men as Ward Lamon,
Fred Douglass. Captain Henry Clay
ton. McMichael and Alfred Wilson. the
present incumbent. The marshal Is the
executive officer of the district courts
and Is often asked to make the presen-
tatiOns at presidential receptions.
Mrs. Mckinley is improving in health
and was well enough to take a drive
with her husband and Captain and
Mrs. II. o. Heisland today.

SETTLED ONE QUESTION.
Proceedings of the Knights of Labor
Convention.

Rochester. N. Y. Nov 19.-The dele
gates to the general assembly of the
Knights of Labor settled one important
question this morning. The question
was that of dual membership, and was
discussed all the morning. While it
does not affect all trades. il affects that
of the brewery workingmen. the menu
bers of which generally belong to both
the Knights of Labor and the American
Federation of Labor.
A year ago the American Federation
decided that their members could not
belong to other labor organization
and today the Knights followed sulI,
so far as the brewers Were concerned.
and decided that they must withdraw
from either one or the other. The
question whether the general assem-
bly, shall simply endorse free silver. or
insert free silver plank. in the pre-
amble of the order, was discussed again
this afternoon.
At the conclusion of the debate the
Knights voted not to put the free coin
age of silver plank into their preamble,
but adopted the plank as a principle.
The idea of putting the plank into the
preamble originated with General Mas
ter Workman ]. II. Sovereign, but the
knights thought that by its being put
into the preamble it would debar from
the organization all who were not free
silverites. The discussion occupied a
greater part OF two days.
