MRS. M'KINLEY IMPROVED

CANTON, O.. Dec. 6, 1s97.-Mrs. Nc
Kinley last night had number of sinking
spells such as occurred during Sunday
but as morning approached she quieted
down. At an early hour the President
was advised that his mother was still
living, although considerably weaker than
she had been and slowly passing away
without any suffering.
The doctor called early and at eight
O'Clock he announced that while the pa
tient was much weaker than at any visit
she was resting SO quietly that she might
survive for some time.
Since the doctors early morning visit
a slight sinking spell and slight rally
have been experienced by Mrs Nc
Kinley. No material change resulted
however, and a slight rally left the
patient in the usual weak and failing but
restful condition characteristic of the i'll
ness.
After having visited the bedside of Mrs,
Mckinley the attending physician at 9:40
today said that she may survive the day.
AS a result of the examination made by
DR.. Phillips, it was announced at 1880
that Mrs. Mckinley was Slightly i'm
proved.
She took some nourishment today, the
first for four days.
The statement is authorized by the doc
tor that the case has taken such turn
that she may survive the day or even
until tomorrow.

Laymen Sign Liberaily at a Recenl
meetfng-Work Soon 10 Begin.

Special to The Jersey CITY News j
NEWARK, Dec. 6, 1S97.-No wealthy
men were at the meeting of Catholic lay
men in Institute Hall last week to raise
funds for the proposed new Cathedral,
but those present subscribed literally.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Wigger presided and
the Rev. T. A. Wallace, chancellor of the
diocese, recorded subscriptions.
A laboring man from Madison started
the subscriptions with pledge OF $40 a
year for ten years.
Arthur Divine said he believed great
many men would subscribe at parish
meetings, who would not pledge $40 or
S25 at a general diocesan meeting, where
rich men gave hundreds or thousands.
Bishop Wigger explained that the as
seSsments on the parishes will amount
to $4,000 year, Sic, 900 having been pledg-
ed by priests which left $35, 900 to be rails
ed to guarantee $1,000,000 at the end OF
ten years.
I'VE have over $4,000 now pledged, :
said Bishop Wigger. Il shall write to
well-to-do men asking each to pledge a
certain sum annually.
The names of those who were at the
first two meetings of laymen will be
placed on a list of honor to be deposited
in the cornerstone of the Cathedral, and
also of those who have pledged subscrip-
tions and of those who will give pledges
before New Years.

new Cathedral, said that the work could

HOW TIE SELECTION WAS MADE
Vice President Hobart Persuaded she
GnwevnorrO Accent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6, 1S97.-Attorney
General McKenna will succeed Justice
Field, for the Pacific coast protest will
not prevent his nomination or confrma-
ton and it is almost as certain that Gov
ernor Griggs will succeed Mr.. Ackenna
as Attorney General. The offer and the
acceptance of that place have not yet
been formally made, although the Presi-
dent wants Governor Griggs and Cover
nor Griggs is willing to come. President
Aickinley's western advisers are opposed
to his taking an eastern man into his
cabinet, and they hope that the announce
ment that the President contemplates
doing this viii stir up sufficient protest
in the West to prevent it.
Governor Griggs, like Nice-PreS1dent
Hobart, came here prepared to say that
he would accept, although he was at first
indisposed to do so, and when first ap-
preached about the matter some days ago
replied that he could not leave the Cover
norShip.
vice-President Hobart and Senator
SeWell who wanted very much to have
him made Attorney General, convinced
him, however, that he could leave the
governorship without detriment to himself
or his party, and that, indeed, it would
advance the fortunes of both for him to
take this new honor for New Jersey.
AT the cabinet meeting last Tuesday,
after the President haG said that he had
like suggestions. one of the cabinet officers
said What about Governor Griggs? He
is d good man. Yes said president
Mckinley, .'he is a splendid man; but, |

governorship' When it got to Vice
President Hobart after the cabinet meet
ing that the President was SO fayorably
disposed towards Governor Griggs, and
had as yet no one else for the place, he
communicated with Governor Griggs, and
the result was the Governors visit to

unil January. and after the New Jersey
legislature meets. This is ene of the con-
ditions under which Governor Griggs ac-
cepts the offer. The reason for this is
that under the constitution of New Jersey
the president OF the State Senate becomes
acting Governor; there being no lieutenant an
governor. The present president OF the
State Senate is Robert Williams, of Pater-
son, but his term of Office expires on the
1st of January, when the new legislature

GIRL NOT FOUND.
False Clue From FLORIDA AS TO the
whereab bouts OF Miss HEeI,ish.

KILLINGLY, Conn, Dec. 6, 1S97.-Rev.
J. H. Mellish, of Dayville, whose daugh-
ter. Miss Bertha Melish, who mysterious
sly disappeared from Mount Holyoke Col
lege the week before Thanksgiving and Of
whom no trace has since been found. was
interviewed by a representative of The
Associated Press today in connection with
the report to the effect than an import
ant clue had been obtained and was now
being followed up.
Mr. Mellish stated that on Wednesday
of last week a telegram reached the
family from Jacksonville, Fla. to the ef-
feet that three persons were detained in
that city and that one of the three
strongly bore out the description of the
missing college girl.
Accordingly on Thursday night, Miss
Florence N6ellish, sister of the missing
girl, accompanied by DR.. II. L. Hammond
of Dayville left on the boat train on 1heir
way to Jacksonville. Late Saturday
night the Rev. Mr.. Nfellish received from

GRIGGS WILL ACCEPT.

Presidents Cabinet.
NO COMPLICATIONS TO ARISE.
He Will Remain Governor Until
the Senate Elects President
Next Month.
NO COMPLICATIONS TO ARISE.

PATERSON, Dec. G, 1S97.-Gov. John w.
Grigggs was notified today by telegraph
of the official announcement at Washing
ton that the Office Of Attorney General
had been rendered him and accepted. A
reporter called on the Governor at his
home last night and received Mr.. Griggs'
first utterance for publication since the
Cabinet gossip started.
Gov Griggs said that the message re-
ceived by him from Washington yester-
day stated that President McKinley's sec
retary, Mr.. Porter, had been authorized
to make public the facts Of the tender and
it's acceptance; hence the Governor found
himself at liberty to discuss the matter.
He said that when the office was first
offered to him weeks ago he unhesitat-
ingly refused it. However,, such strong
pressure was brought to bear on him
from close friends of the President that
he thought it wise to take the question
under consideration, with the result that
he formally accepted the place while at
Washington on Thursday last. Mr. NC
KinleyS absence from the White House
prevented the due announcement OF the
Governors answer.
AS to his resignation of the Governor
ship, Mr. Griggs said that it would not be
rendered until the converting of the New
Jersey Legislature onJanuary IL next. This
action is made possible by the fact that
the ONCE OIL Attorney deneFai VIII proD-
ably be vacant before that time, as in
due course of events, Mr.. Mckenna's con-
firmation as Associate Justice of the SUI
preme Court will necessitate delay. In
that event none of the complications in
cident to the Immediate resignation can
happen and the provisions OF the cOnSti-
tuition making the President of the SEN
ate acting Governor would be carried out.
When asked who he thought would be
the presiding office of the incoming Sen
ate, Mr.. Griggs, remarked, that from re-
ports published, Senator Foster M. Voor-
hees of Union county seemed to have
promises for the majority of votes. Mr..
Griggs intends to be at his Office here to-
day, but on Tuesday will go to Trenton

WOE oHAnOELLoRs ATTACKED.
Lawyer Abraham $. Jackson Thfnks
They Are Unco onntirufionaI

IneY AFe " ncO
An attack was made upon the constitu-
tienality of the act appointing the Vice
Chancellors in the Court of Chancery this
morning Some time ago the Produce
Exchange Building and Loan Association
of Newark filed a bill to foreclose a
mortgage. The suit was contested and the
Chancellor referred it to Vice Chancellor
Pitney.
Abraham S. Jackson, who represents
parties holding liens on the mortgaged
premises. objected to the reference this
morning. He alleged that the constitu-
tion of the State did not recognize the
Vice Chancellor, and he read that section
of the constitution which says that the
Court of Chancery shall consist of a chan
cellor.
The Chancellor heard Mr.. Jackson's ar
gument, and then reminded him that the
Chancellor had the power TO refer a case
to any master, and the Vice Chancellors
acted as such. The Vice Chancellors did
not make orders and DEGREES, but simply
advised them to the Chancellor.
He said that Mr.. Jackson could object
to the Vice Chancellor's findings the same
as those of any other master.
The order of reference to the Vice Cham
cellor will stand.
