Rescue Steamer Has Hard Time
Herself.

ST. Johns, N. F., Feb. S.-The steamer
Nimrod, which went out in search of the
missing steamer State of Georgia, IS
frozen in an ice foe five miles south of
Cape Race Two of her crew came
ashore over the ice today to report that
TIE Nimrod had found no trace of the
missing steamer The Nimrod steamed
10 miles off the coast and searched the
ice foes north, but without avail. The
general opinion is that the State of Geor-
cta has gone down with all on board,
and this opinion is strengthened by the
report of the Nimrod.
The State of Georgia sailed from Dant-
&c September 10 with a cargo of raw
sugar She was bound for Halifax and
ST. John. N. 5. She passed Dunnet
Head on the north coast of Scotland De-
cember %. and has not been heard from
since She was IN old steamer and be-
lonced TO the Allan line.
\ dispatch from FerrylaDd reports an

LONG HAS ACCEPTED.
Massachusetts, Man Will Manage the
NAVY

Canton, O.. Feb. S.-Ferdinand w.
Peck and Franklin Head, of Chicago,
spent an hour with Major Mckinley
this evening, talking over the aims of
the National Business Mems League.
The league advocates strongly the or
ganization of a new governmental de-
partment, that of commerce and in
dustry and the idea has the cordial
approval of the president-elect, who
also believes that a permanent tariff
bureau should be attached to the new
department to deal with the question
of tariff revision and so ultimately take
the question out of politics.
The formal acceptance of Governor
John D. Long of Massachusetts, of the
portfolio of the navy was received here
tonight. 1t has been known for two
weeks that he was to be in the CABS
met, but the exact place he was to re-
ceive has been in doubt and was not
finally settled till near the end of last
week. when a letter to that effect was
sent him.

CALLERS IN PLENTY.
OVER ONE HUNDRED TO SEE
M'KINLEY YESTERDAY.
Thinks He Will Have to Limit the
Crowd of Place unters-Cali-
fornia Delegate Felicitates Some
While He Is Resting-Hanna
Strikes Another Senatorial Snag.

Canton, O., Feb. S.-Major Mckinley
had over 100 callers today and it be.
gins to look as if he would have tC
take measures to limit them. He is
feeling the demand upon his time, and
if he does not draw the line soon his
health and strength will be pretty sure
to suffer.
Among the callers this evening was
Joseph S. Speare of California, who
was an active and influential factor in
the ante-convention campaign and who
had G. good deal to do with Republican
success on the Pacific slope. Mr.. Speare
said: 1.-THE people of California and
the whole Pacific slope are greatly
gratified to know that they are to have
a representative in Major Mckinley s
cabinet, and by so good a man as
Judge McKenna. 1t was not possible
for the president-elect to make a mis-
take with three such men as Judges
McKenna. De Haven and Waymire
to choose from
will the Republicans continue to
make gains on the Pacific slope and
hold what they have now?" was asked.
Il am sure they WILL" was the an
swer. Fusion is disappearing there as
elsewhere, and will never be as strong
again as it was il November last
What recognition in the way of fed
eral appointments will California eX-
pect?'
California has already received more
liberal and distinguished recognition
than was ever given her before. Judge
McKenna is our first cabinet officer. L
have not heard of many applications
for important places. Frank Coombs,
speaker of the California house, is a
candidate for the Japanese mission,
and 1 have been told Colonel M. H. De
Young of San Francisco wants to be
ambassador to Berlin. but I do not
know that this is So"
A. S. Perkins, assistant secretary of
the Republican national committee,
left for Washington this afternoon.
Among the callers today were Adel-
bert H. Steele Of New York, formerly
deputy commissioner of public works.
Mr.. Steele said he came to talk over
the New York situation with Major
Mckinley and not in the interest of
any particular candidate. He said that
unless the party could unite on some
one very soon he would venture to
say that the empire state would not
be represented in the cabinet. Mr..
Steele had some warm words of praise
for Chairman Hanna and declared that
the business men of the country want
him in the senate.

Damaged.

Canton, o., Feb. -President-elect
Mckinley will go from Canton to

old-fashioned log fire place and two
Dalatial bedroom apartments with
brass bedsteads in each. and a. bath
opening from each chamber. There is
a magnificent silver service and large

good story of Mr.. William III. TRAY

scribed Mr.. Travers' going down
town to dog fancier's place in Wa
ter street, New York, in search of a
rat terrier. The dog fancier scented
the value OF his possible customer at
once and cheerfu1ly dlated upon the
merits of the different CANNES In
stock. Finally he selected ratter,
assuring Mr.. Travers that the dog
would go for rat quicker than
lightning. Mr.. Travers was rather
skeptical as he observed the SILVER
ing pup, and the dog fancier no.
ticing this said:
Here, I'll show you how he'll go
for a rat" and he put the dog in a
box with Dig rat. The rat made a
dive and laid out that unfortunate
terrier in second. Mr.. Travers
turned around to the fancier and
said:

take for the rat9"-Harper's Round
