THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-Col. John J.
McCook, of New York, will be secre-
tary of the interior. AS recently
planned, he was to be attorney-general.
and Judge McKenna, of California,
was to be secretary of the interior.
Judge McKenna being Catholic, and
as the secretary of the interior handles
the sectarian school questions, the
Judge concluded that he would en-
counter unusual embarrassments in
that position. For this reason a re-
casting of the cabinet to this extent
has resulted. Col. McCook is Il MEM
Der of the law firm of Alexander e
Green, New York city, and is a director
and the general counsel of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Co.
The great economic questions of the
day have received his closest attention.
In national politics he has ever taken a
great interest, and has been prominent
in discussions of national issues.
