SIX PORTFOLIOS PROVIDED FOR.

son, for the Department of Agri.
culture, and the Cbieagoan.

CANTON, o.. January 2S.-Iyman J.
Gage, who will be the next Secretary OF
the Treasury, arrived at Major Mckin-
ley's house few minutes before o'clock
this afternoon. He was warmly welcomed
by the President-elect, who straightway
withdrew with him for private con-
ference. which lasted until O'clock. Tho
President-elect and his Secretary OF tina
Treasury had full and very satisfactory
talk, in which they discussed at length
the financial and tariff policies OF the
next administration, and considered the
problems that would call for immediate
solution by means Of legislation.
The President-elect and Mr. Gage ara
in thorough accord upon all political ana
economic policies.
The demand for Mr.. Cages appoint-
ment came from nearly every commercial
centre in the country, and from men OF
both parties. The Chicagoan is endorsed,
not only by the business world, but by
many labor organizations as well. The
direct claim is made in nearly all OF tne
mass Of letters and kilograms watch have
reached Major Mckinley respecting MIR.
Gage that the direct effect of his appoint.
ment will be to hasten and render certain
the restoration OF confidence. Major Nc
Kinley has been thinking about Mr.. Gage
for several weeks In connection with the
Treasury portfolio, but had been led 10
believe that he could not accept II. IL
has also been Major McKinley's inten-
tion from the day he was elected to choose
a western man for Secretary of the Irea-
sury If he could find an available man.
CHARLES EMORY SMITH.
Mr.. Gage meets all of the requirements,
but his appointment does not remove
from the list OF Cabinet possibilities the
name Of Charles Emory smith. who would
in all probability have been made Secre-
tary OF State II the office had been filled
by the appointment OF an Eastern man.
IL may be safely assumed that Major
Mckinley has decided at present upon six
men for his Cabinet. though he has not
formally rendered all of them portfolios
The men who are regarded as certain OF
appointment are: John Sherman, Lyman
j. Gage, Nathan Goff. Joseph McKenna.
John ID. Long and James Wilson. OF
Iowa. for Secretary of Agriculture. Gene
raj X. A. Ayers appointment az Secrs-
tary Of War is probable. but by no means
certain. The one remaining portfolio
which is not likely to be rendered before
the middle or last of February will doubt
less go TO a New Yorker or a Pennsylva-
nian.
MIR. Gage said this evening, and au-
thorized the Southern Associated Press to
say:
Il have been rendered the appointment
OF Secretary of the Treasury by Major
Mckinley, and have accepted H."
Among Major McKinley's callers to-day
were four colored bishops-B. w. Arnett.

effects were Immediately seen. not only
IN the transformation Of the iron trade.
but IN an enormous extension westward
OF the area OF profitable agricultural pro-
auction and In fearful prostration OF
the older grain-growlng regions OF the
coast and of Europe. The cost OF rails
was rapidly reduced by 70 per cent. and
the centre OF steel production moved
westward towards the great Bessemer
ore deposits Of Lake Superior. though 1t

Mr.. Gage's Circular Letter Against
Eastern Banlsiag.
NEW YORK. January 2s.--within tho
past two or three days there has de-
veloped in New York banking circles quite
an opposition to the movement to mako
Lyman j. Gage the next Secretary of the
Treasury. During the 1888 panic MIR. Gage.
as president Of the First National Bank or
Chicago. sent a circular letter TO banks
generally throughout the West. I'm which
he criticised the operations OF the New
York bankers. The latter were very much
displeased with the utterances OF Mr.
Gage as set forth I'm his letter. and several
of the leading bankers here expressed
their opinion of Mr. Gage In no uncer-
tain words. Although three years have
passed, the New Workers have not for
gotten nor forgiven the Chicago banker
for his scoring Of them. and now they pro-
pose to even up accounts. and are taking
quiet but effective steps TO oppose his APP
pointment
Mr.. Cages circular letter was written
on August 22 1898. In IL he reviews the
action OF the New York banks In issuing
clearinghouse certificates which he de-
clared operated against western banks,
as money I'm New York commanded n pre-
MUM over bank checks of ! 10 to per
cent He therefore advised correspondents
that Chicago banks could not take drafts
on New York and eastern points and
credit them at par The letter concluded
as follows.
'If Chicago and the West are TO ba
kept on a cash basis. eastern exchange
must as has been above shown. be SUBJ
iected 10 a discount approximating the
premium on currency in New York, I'm
order 10 prevent the movement OF cur
rency thither to command the premium
there offered for II.
Bankers should take these facts INTO
account when dealing with their customs
ers and their Chicago correspondents, end

change at its actual money value"

THE sTEEL-BILLET POOL.
IL Is Almost Certain to BE Dissolved
To-Day.

PITTSBURG, PA, January 1.-The
great pool Of steel-billet manufacturers.
or the American Bessemer Association,
regarded for time as an invincible
trust. will, almost beyond doubt, be
formally dissolved at a meeting to be
held in Pittsburg tomorrow The trade
has been canvassed on the proposition
to prevent external competition. and 10
throw the business into the hands OF the
larger concerns by purchasing the allot-
ment of all the small firms which became
dissatisfied with the pooling arrangement
This canvas has been I'm charge or
special committee. which will report
against the plan being continued. At to-
morrows meeting checks will be likely
drawn and returned to the members for
the amounts deposited by them as evil
dences of good faith when the combina-
ton was first formed.
However, while there is no probability
II continuing the organization, there Will
likely ne some plan devised to shut out
the brokers. Nearly all the firms except
the Belaire Steel Company. have sold
their OUTPUT for six months ahead, so
that as far as they are concerned. the
brokers cut but small figure. These
sales were made at figures ranging from
Sl5 to $3.50.

there were compensations growing out
of the revolution itself. Vast supplies

terial. great movement H. railway con-
s'Iuction began. ana the rapid cheapen-
ing of railway transportation following
on the Introduction OF Bessemer rails
opened the great markets of the West
to our products. And cheap rates to
the West did not prove a mere tempo
rary advantage to Richmond.
They have. and must have. the per-
manence Of a natural law. as In the
nature of things the current Of the
bulky products Of the farm. the forest,
and the mine flows towards the East.
and there must be a return current Of
empty cars soliciting west-bound
freights on the lowest possible terms.
Moreover. Richmond can never lose the
advantage it derives from its position
as an Atlantic terminal protested by
steamer and sailing-vessel competition.
Thus. our Richmond iron manufacture.
after surviving the catastrophe of the
great war. passed safely through the
sudden and violent revolution following
on the introduction of Bessemer steel.
The sovereignty Of the trade is IN other
districts but we may claim for our
local industry that it still shows vigo-
rous life and promises a long career OF
activity and usefulness.

of certain general advantages which
Richmond possesses. In this case, the
industry originally founded on several
marked special advantages has survived

largely due to the general advantages OF
