SUNDAYS CABINET GOSSIP.
The Treasury Portfolio Now Stumbling
Block.

The Treasury Portfolio Now a Stumbling
Block.
Canton, January 17.-This was a quiet
Sunday at the Mckinley home. The
Presdent-elect rested and went to church.
Now that Senator Sherman has accepted
the portfolio of state, the rest Of the
Cabinet seems to centre on secretary Of
tbs treasury. Charles Emory Smith has
besn mentioned frequently, and Will re-
ceive due consideration at the hands of
the President-elect. The latest treasury
possibility is Congressman j. McCleary
of Minnesota. de attracted the attention
of the President-elect by his forci hle
speeches in Congress on the silver
question. Representative McCleary is q
Canadian by birth and was an educator
before he went into politics. The Presi-
dent-eleCt would be glad to find a suit
able man for secretary of the treasury
outside of New York, in order that no
suspicion of complications with Wall
street may attach to him.
? If the bsst man for the place is clearly
shown to be in New York, the appoint
ment will be made from that state. The
friends of General Alger who come here
from time to time are feeling very hope
full. 1t is likely that the present week
will see the President-elect reach def
mite conclusion as to the appointment of
a Cabinet officer from the Pacific slope.
Judge McKenna is thought by those
much given to Cabinet speculation to be
In the lead.
An effort of great persistency and vigor
is being made to secure the appointment
of man from this state to the position
of secretary of agriculture. The other
name most frequently heard in cnnnec-
tion with this place ia ex-Congressman
James Wilson of Iowa. Mr.. Wilson was
strongly endorsed by Senator Allison.
The President-elect is in no haste about
making tlis appointment, and it may be
one OF the last agreed upon.

THE CUBAN QUESTION.
Work Outlined for Congress This Week
For Monday in Senate-Appropriatio
Bill VIII Occupy Greater Part of the
Week.

For Monday in Senate-Appropriation
Bill VIII Occupy Greater Part of the
Week.
Washington, January 17.-The appro-
priation bills will demand the attention
of the Senate this week. The army bill
has bsen reported and the military aca-
demy, and legislative bills will be re-
ported from the committee tomorrow.
Senator Morgan will probably address
tha Senate tomorrow on his bill for the
appointment of board Of government
trustees to operate the Pacific roads until
the governments claim is liquidated.
The Nicaraguan canal bill, in accord
aRce with the decision of the Republican
steering committee will be made un-
finished business Monday. TIE PROPOSE
tion to guarantee the canal bonds will be
antagonized by Messrs. Turpie, Vest,
Keller and others.
There is no Indication of any intention
to call up the Cameron Cuban resolution.
The utteranoes of Mr.. Sherman on this
subject since the formal announcement
of his acceptance of the State Depart
ment portfolio are looked upon by his
associates as request for the incoming
administration that nothing be done
pending its accession to power. Several
influential Senators. previously charged
with being "jingoes'' have since their
visit to Canton become very oonserva-
tive. No one of the Republican side Of
the chamber is now urging action of any
kind with respect to the war in Cuba.
The extradition treaty between the
United States and ths Orange Free State
and the Argentine Republic will probably
be disposed of this week. The remainder
of the time will be devoted to clearing up
the unobjeoted matters on the calendar
In the House no programme OF business
is arranged except the Virginia contested
election case. 1t is expected that in the
course of the week, agricultural and
Indian appropriation bills will be con-
sidered.

launched the port life boat in charge of
the chief officer and seven seamen. With
much difficulty, the life boat succeeded
IL s,osSing alongside the vessel which

The steamer then stood off from the bark
until p. M, when the latter swung

her course about east by north. making
