Who He is.

Chicago, Jan. 2T.-Lyman ]. Gage,
the foremost financier in the western
metropolis, was born at De Ruyter.
Madison county, n. Y, June %, 1886.
His parents, Eli A and Mary Judson
Gage, were descended from English
stock and were born in New York
state. Lyman was taken to Rome. N.
Y, when 10 years old, and placed in
the Rome academy, where he remained
four years. His term in that institu-
ton practically constituted his entire
scholastic education. His first posi-
ton in business life was as clerk in the
Rome DOstoffice, and later he became
route agent on the Rome & WATERFOWL
railroad. In 1854 Mr.. Gage obtained
his first bank position, being employed
in the Oneida Central bank at Rome
at q salary of 800 a year He re-
manned there a year and a half, and in
the fall of 1855 he arrived in Chi
cago. He took the first job he could
get, with a lumber yard and planning
mill firm. He was engaged as book
keeper, but he did other general util-
ity work, such as loading and unload
ing lumber and teaming. The extreme
business depression of 1858 compelled
the firm to dispense with his services
as bookkeeper but rather than have
no job at all, Mr.. Gage worked for six
Weeks DIS HlSulWdlCUIIldH OIL the Nr1Q 5
property. While engaged in that hum
bic but breadwinning capacity, the
opportunity of Mr.. Cages life came to
him by the offer of the position Of
bOokkeeper for the Merchants Saw
ingS, Loan & Trust company. From
that position, nearly two score years
ago, Mr.. Cages career has been up
ward by long and steady strides. until
today he occupies the highest position

institution in Chicago-the office of
president of the First National bank.
In the spring of 1860 he had become as
sistant cashier of the Merchants bank
and later cashier. which office he held
until 1868, when he accepted the same
position in the service of the First Ma
tional bank. with when he has re-
manned continuously. His promotion
was rapid. Tie old charter of the bank
expired in 1882. and upon the reorgan-
iZation of the bank Mr.. Gage was
elected vice-president and general man
ager About the same time a special
compliment was paid to his ability as
banker by his election to the presi-
dency of the American Bankers aSSo-
citation. Six years ago this week Mr.
Gage was elected to the presidency Of
the First National bank on the retire
ment of Mr.. NickerSon, although Mr..
Gage had been the real acting-preS
dent of the bank for several years pre-
vious. At the inception of the worlds
fair ENTERPRISE Mr.. Gage showed his
faith in the financial outcome as well
as his confidence in Chicago by prac-
tically guaranteeing, with three other
wealthy citizens, that Chicago would
carry out it's pledge of raising $f00OO,-
900 for the exposition. This guarantee
had potent influence with the United
States senate committee, and was
largely instrumental in securing the
fair for Chicago. Mr.. Gage was unani-
mously chosen first president of the
worlds fair board of directors, but
upon his elevation to the presidency IT

Canton, O., Jan. 27.-The complex
political problem surrounding the Sc
lection of Major McKinleys cabinet is
now believed to be practically solved,
and Lyman ]. Gage of Chicago as sec
rotary of the treasury is regarded az
the key to the situation and the almost
certain choice of the president-elect.
II is a moral certainty and IS strength
ened by the fact that the president of
the First National bank of Chicago is
now on his way to Canton in response
to the telegraphed request of the major
to visit him. Chairman Hanna came
here and was engaged for several hours
today in secret conference with Mr..
Mckinley. 1t is the understanding
that Mr.. Hanna approved of Mr.. Gage
as chief of the treasury department.
1t is known that ever since the cleo
ton of Mckinley powerful personal
and political pressure has been eX-
erted on the next president, especially
from friends and Republican leaders in
Chicago and the middle western states,
to procure the appointment of Mr.. Gage
for the treasury portfolio. The work
has been done in such quiet and dig
nif1ed manner that public attention has
not been directed toward the influence
until recently. 1t is now believed that
Mr.. Cages appointment TO the treasury
will be determined this week
When the position is filled the other
portfolios can easily be disposed of
excepting that to be given to New
York. That problem remains as in
tricate as ever, but the impression pre-
walls here that General Woodford has
the best chance of the appointment
The president-elect does not seem to
have been influenced against Woodford
by the mild protest which was entered
against him yesterday from eastern
visitors. Colonel John Hay is here in
the interests of a friend and he now
does not expect a cabinet position for
himself. General William NJ. Os-
borne. who has been the guest of Cor
nelius n. G.. Bliss at JekylI Island on
the Georgia coast, will remain here
until Friday and then return east Mr.
Hanna's visit is not taken to have any
bearing upon the Ohio senatorial sit
uation. Cabinet and inaugura ton mat
tiers engrossed the time of his confer
ence with Major Mckinley.
Governor Bushnell has received a let
ter from Senator Sherman. stating that
he will not resign his seat in the senate
until he is confirmed as secretary Of
state.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The military
academy appropriation bill was passed
in the senate today after long and
somewhat amusing controversy over
an amendment providing for the at
tendance of the West Point cadets at
the Inauguration parade.
The proposition was made the text
by Mr.. Allen CPop. Neb.) of a disserta-
ton of the virtues of the old Jeffer-
sonian Democratic simplicity, of the
dry rot which is destroying the
American republic as it destroyed the
Roman empire, and of an attack on
Mr.. Gray (Dem. Del.) for inconSiSt-
ency in attending Democratic caucasus
and claiming TO be q Democrat While
Ito all iatents and purposes he has
been a Republican for the last three
Or four years." and there was another
distinguished senator, Mr.. Allen ad-
ded, pointing TO the seat of Senator
Hill (Dem. n. ", who said that ne too
was a Democrat. These remarks, made
with all the seriousness characteristic
of the Nebraska Populist senator, We're
received with smiles by the two SEN
ators alluded TO and by the whole
senate.
Mr.. Gray contented himself with the
remark that Mr.. Allen was a melancho-
" example OF the effect of POpuliSt no.
Mons, and that he would probably pre-
fer to have a contingent of CoXey' S
army attend the Inauguration parade:
and Mr. Allen admitted that that
would be a little more relevant.
Finally, the amendment was reject
ed yeas 20. nays 28, and the bill
was passed. It appr0priates $479,5I2,
or $1,000 more than the bill as it passed
the house. This $1,000 is for the pur-
chase OF one Maxim seTni-auJomatic
f1ve-pounder 4uick-firing gun.
The memorial of Henry A. Dupont
of Delaware. in which he asserts that
his claim TO a seat in the senate was
defeated last session through a mis-
count, or through a mistake about
pairs, was presented by Mr.. Chandler
(Rep. n. h and was referred to the
committee on privileges and elections.
The Nicaragua canal bin was taken
up. 1t gave rise to quite q spirited de-
bate, in the course of which MIR. Sher-
man suggested that although he would
vote for the bill in any form presented
that ii would be better to let it lie
over until next session, and intimated
that he would favor the negotiation
for a new treaty on the lines of the
Frelinghuysen-Z
A motion to recommit the bill was
made by Mr.. Villas Dem. Wis., and
was pending when the senate, at 4:45,
adjourned until tomorrow.

PROSPERITY FOR THE FARMER.

The statements Of the fiscal year just

of the country has enjoyed a greatly im-
proved condition during the past year,
wh1ie other statements received here are

the coming year. The expectations Of

against sl36, s46 $40 in the fiscal year
ending June 30. 1885, and $40, 967, 75s In
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1895. This
is an increase of s53 600, 900 in the pockets

TO DISCHARGE HUMAN FREIGHT

Both the railroad officials and the
thousands of patrons of railroads will re-
iojos at the invention of western man
by which IL is said to be possible to drop
passengers from trains without stopping
the latter.
We see In this the ultimate extinction
of the accommodation train.
Literally, a passenger on train
equipped with the new device may pur-
chase a ticket direct to his back yard and
be landed there without creating discom-
posure In the minds OF his fellow pas
senesrs who are won't to fret at the fire.
,uent stopping OF the train that they are
on to 90 through.
For some time invention has success
fully disjointed mail matter en- route
without slowing down. Why not male
matter, and for the.matter OF that, female
matterf
Evidently, II the western mans inven-
tion works, there is no "why not. +" We
shall have nothing but through trains
Stations as they exist today may TO
abolished except to ornament the land
scape and provide quarters for the tele-
graph operator and a stove on which the
psarby resident natives may gather to
est tho seles ef their feet in winter ana
spit In the fire box when they. chancei to
hit the same.
Not only tramps and others that are
neaiing rides, but the, at present, less
favored patrons of railroad may be put
of anywhere One may buy ticket for
the next block as well as for New York
and be safely landed there.
Not only is such device distinctly
utilitarian, but at the outset, at least.
while it is novelty, 1t is likely to prove
of more popular enjoyment than shoot
ing the chutes even.
For obvious reasons. OF course, 1t is
hardly to be expected that the railroads
will undertake thus to discharge pas
sengers when the flying train is just OPP
posite telegraph pole. 1t costs too much
money to set up telegraph poles to have
them thus ruthlessly Dowled over by n
flying passenger being dropped at the
nearest point to his destination.
