ing editorial strongly condemns the at
lacks of the organ of the Spanish admiral
on Consul General Lee. which II says are
indiscreet. adding that such attacks made
at time when the government at Wash
ingtou contemplates removing the consul
general may induce the American gov
ernment 10 retain him in his position. Tho
authorities at Washington might remoyS
General Lee OF their own accord, but
would not do so because Of pressure
brought to bear by the Spanish press
la Lucha further says the American
government has already PLACED the full
value upon General Lees services, which
fact is shown by the expression OF opinion
by persons In high positions al Washington
in favor OF the consul generals removal
and that President Mckinley will name,
as did President Cleveland. a person for

The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1897-01-07

A conference with him was desired, 1t is
believed, in respect to the south for cab
met portfolio. General Agnus was not,
said an intimate friend, and will not be
an aspirant for place in Mr.. Mokinley's
cabinet, and is not interested In the nam
ing of any particular man from the south
to cabinet PORTFOLIO but would like to
see young man chosen.
He is also DESTROYS of keeping Maryland
In the Republican column and defeating
Senator German for reelection to the
senate and put in his place Republican.
To that end in his conference yesterday,
when asked as to the Maryland situation,
he laid before the president-elect the mat
ter as outlined and expressed himself
freely. General Agnus has no ak to
grind,n said the friend who spoke for
him, "and hisvisit was in the interest of
his party and not for any one man. Any
good, vigorous man from Maryland or
West Virginia or any southern state for
that matter would please him."
The rumor to the effect that Cornelius
N Bliss had been offered and had accepted
the portfolio of the navy department
gained strength when the Associated Press
dispatch was received from New York in
which Mr.. Bliss refused either to confirm
or deny.

MR.. ALLISON DECLINES
To Accept a Position in President
McKinley's Cabinet.
PREFERS HIS SEAT IN THE SENATE

Senator Sherman Summoned to a Confer
enoe with the President-Elect at Canton.
General Aguus Discusses the Claims Of
the South with Major Mckinley.
CLEVELAND, Jan. T. Senator Allison
has for the third time declined the proffer
of an Ohio born president to accept posi-
ton in his cabinet. This Is the position
that President-elect Mckinley finds him
self in, as the result of his visit to Canton
and his conference with Senator Allison
yesterday.
Senator Allison was decisive in the state
ment that he could not, with the new sem
atorial term, beginning with the admins
ton, give up his placein the senate for an
administrative office. In explaining his
regret at not being able to accept cabi-
net portfolio Senator Allison gave the
president-elect the heartiest assurances Of
his cooperation in the senate, where he
said he felt that he could be Of far more
benefit both to Major Mckinley and the
Republican party than by taking up the
intricate and difficult task which must
fall upon the shoulders of cabinet officer.
The decision of Senator Allison to re-
main outside of the new administration Is
undoubtedly much of a disappointment to
Major Mckinley. His refusal opens up
anew the entire cabinet situation, and all
the old problems and complications, in
which the Ohio situation is most promi-
nent, are now opened afresh. The last
thing that Major Mckinley did before
leaving Canton was to wire request to
Senator Sherman to come to Ohio for con-
sultation.
An Associated Press reporter was cordi-
ally received by General Agnus, who said
that his visit to Canton was on invitation.

Sherman and the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Gossip connect
ing Senator Sherman's name with the Sec
retaryship of state under the Mckinley adj
ministration took fresh start at the capt.
tol today. 1t is understood that Mr.. Sher-
man has received an invitation to visit
Major Mckinley at his home and that he
will leave for Ohio within the next few
days. There Is little doubt that the sena-
tor will on this visit be formally rendered
the state portfolio, and the impression
about the senate is very strong that he
will accept. Indeed it is asserted that the
senator has already been informally made
acquainted with Major McKinley's desire
to have him fill this important Office and
that the latter has been advised Of the
senator's acceptance in the same manner.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE results of the last
census, which are just published, show
that there is no sign Of recovery in the
birth rate. The total increase in the popu-
lation of France since 1891 is only 175,027,
while the number of foreigners in France
is decreasing. The large towns are grow
ing slightly, at the expense of the smaller
towns and the rural districts. The inhabi-
tants have increased In twenty-four de-
partments and have decreased In sixty
three departments The minister Of the
interior, M. Berthou, notes an increase Of
emigration, but he is compelled to confess
to the marked tendency Of the population
To remain stationary.

SEVEN NUNS AsPHYxIATEp.
Lost Their Lives in the Burning Of
Convent In Canada.


Convent In Canada.
RoBERvAL, Quebec, Jan 7.-At6o'clock
In the morning fire broke out in the chapel
of the convent here, caused by a lighted
candle near the cradle of the infant Jesus
setting fire to the draperies and floral Or
lamentations, and in an instant the whole
was mass of flames. The alarm was
given by a sacrlsty nun, but the fire
spread with such rapidity that nothing
could be done to save the building
The religious titles and the names OF the
dead, respectively, are as follows; Mother
st. Francois dc Paule, Elise Gosselin of st.
Jean Chrysostome; Mother Providence,
Emma Letourneau of Quebec; Mother st.
Ursule, Corinthe Garneau of st. Foyce;
Mother st. Anne Laure Huron OF Hebert-
vile; Mother St. Antoine dc Padua, Cath
crime Baulte of Dssohambault Mother st.
Dominique, Marie Louisie Grad of Rober-
val Mother ST. Louise, Rose Gossellin OF
ST. Jean Chry sostome
Another nun was badly burned in try
ing to ertinguish the fire. The convent
and the school are nothing but mass OF
ruins. The monastery was stone build
ing, five stories high and OF 100 feet 'front.'
age, and was built eight years ago. The
Ursuline nuns Of Quebec, by whom 1t was
controlled, are the oldest cloistered
order In Canada, and 1t was in cavity
made by the bursting Of shell within
their convent at Quebec, that General
Montcalm was buried after his death upon
the Plains of Abraham.
Many of the nuns and pupils slept in a
dormitory on the second floor, and these
managed to escape, but others occupied q
dormitory on the fourth floor, at the north
end. There is fireproof tower near this,
but the rapidity with which the flames
spread prevented the nuns from reaching
1t.
The total loss is 1000, with only about
$12, 600 insurance. The school was closed
on account Of the holidays, and most Of
the pupils had gone home.

To Prevent Juvenile Hunchbacks.

PARIS, Jan. DIR. Callot read before
the Academy of Medicine yesterday re-
markable paper describing decades ex-
periments in Strengthening the spinss Of
hunchbacks by pressure. The novelty
consists of the means adopted to keep the
spine straight for ten months, by which
time cure is effected. No accident had
occurred in thirty cases. DIR. Cabot says
that there is no need that any child should
become hunchback, but he is doubtful
whether the method will cure adults.

WASHINGTON, Jan. T--Argument was

government sought to collect duty on the
yacht Conqueror, imported to this coun-
try from England by Frederick W. Van
derbilt, Elihu Root appearing for Van.
derbilt and the attorney general for the
government. Mr.. Vanderbilt contends
that the yacht should have been admitted
as any other vessel, while the collector of
customs sought to collect duty upon it as
upon other articles manufactured abroad.
The federal courts of New York sustained
the Vanderbilt contention, and the case
was brought into the supreme court on
writ of certiorarl.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. THE report that
Mrs. Emma Spreckles Watson had decided
back to her father, Claus Spreckles, the
IS, OOO, 900 worth of property he gave to her
before her marriage, is denied by Mr.. Wat
SOD. He says his wife gave back only
100000, and still has enough to live ON.
The transfer was made on account Of
Claus Spreckles' opposition to his daugh.
ter marriage, and was voluntary.
