HOME RULE FOR CUBA.

Text of the Measure that Is Proposed by
Spain Enlarged Suffrage and a Legisla-
tive Assembly.
New YORK, Jan. ga dispatch from
the Herald's correspondent in Havana
says: | have seen an absolute au-
thentic draft of the home rule measure
which Spain is about to concede to
Cuba. The act provides for legisla-
tive assembly, wholly selective by an
enlarged suffrage and composed OF
senate and lower house. Besides hav'
ing the sole power to vote an especial
budget of the island, this chamber has
full power to draw up and control the
budget of what may be termed the i'm
perial expenses, or the expenses of the
army and navy of Spain, in so far as
they are legitimately to be shared by
Cuba. This budget of material ex'
penses will be sent to Madrid for the
approval of the cortes.
With the governor general is vested
e'power to appoint all officials in the
Cuban government, with the exception
of the collectors of the ports and men,
bers of the secretaries general Of the
governor and civil governors of the
provinces, who are to be selected by
popular vote. All officials who shall
be appointed by the governor general
must be confirmed by the assembly Gre
ated by the reform measure, in the
same way that federal appointments
require confirmation by the senate in
the United States. This Cuban assem-
bly, will have full power to initiate all
money and tariff bills and no bill OF
this nature can be presented by the
Madrid government until it has been
approved by the Cuban assembly.
The reform measure was read to Mr..
Olney last December by Minister De
LONE and met his unqualified approval.

GAGE is HIS CHOICE.


Maj. Mckinley Offers q Chicago Banker
the Post of Secretary of the Treasury
and the Latter Accepts
CANTON, O., Jan. 29.-Lyman j. Gage,
who will be the next secretary of the
treasury, arrived at Maj McKinleys
home a few minutes before 8 p. m.
Thursday. He was warmly welcomed
by Maj Mckinley, who at once with
drew with him for private conference
which lasted till o'clock. The presi-
dent-elect and Mr.. Gage had very
satisfactory talk in which they dis
cussed the financial and tariff policies
of the next administration and consid-
cred the problems that would call for
immediate solution by means of legis-
lation. Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Gage
are in thorough accord upon all finan-
cial, political and economic policies.
The demand for Mr.. Cages appoint
ment comes from nearly every CONNER
cial center in the country and from
men of both parties.
Mai. Mckinley has been thinking
about Mr.. Gage for several weeks in
connection with the treasury portfolio,
but had been led to believe that he
could not accept it. 1t has also been
Mai. McKinley's intention from the
day he was elected to choose western
man for secretary of the treasury If he
| could find an available man. Mr.. Gage
meets all of the requirements, but his
appointment does not remove from the
list of cabinet possibilities the name OF
Charles Emory Smith, who would in all
probability have been made secretary
of state if the office had been filled by
the appointment of an eastern man.
1t may be safely assumed that Mai.
Mckinley has decided at present upon
six men for his cabinet, though he has
not formally rendered all Of them port
folios. The men who are regarded as
certain of appointment are John Sher'
man, Lyman j. Gage, Nathan Golf
Joseph McKenna, John D. Long and
James Wilson, of Iowa, for secretary oi
agriculture. Gen. Alger's appointment
as secretary of war is probable, but by
no means certain. The remaining port
folio, which is not likely to be rendered
before the middle or last of February
will doubtless 60 to New York o.

War and the Offer is Accepted.
CANTON, o., Jan. 8O.-Friday was
Maj. McKinley's 64th birthday and he
celebrated 1t BY rendering the portfolio
of war to Gen, R. A. Alger, of Michigan,
who accepted it with alacrity. Gen.
Alger authorized. the correspondent of
the United Associated Presses TO say
that he had accepted the portfolio Of
war. Gen. Alger was asked If all diff
ferences between himself and Senator
Sherman had been arranged. "Yes," +"
said he "We are on good terms and
will work together in harmony.
Gen. Alger arrived at i p. m. and
lunched with Maj. Mckinley. Ex-Con-
gressman A. M. Thompson, of Ohio,
and ex-Speaker Titus Sheard, Of New
York, were the other guests. After
luncheon Maj Mckinley and Gen.
Alger retired for private talk and at
the expiration of two hours Gen. Alger
came out and made the announcement
that he was to be in the cabinet.

A Southern Pacific Train Is Held UP by
Party Of Bandits in Oregon.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 30.-Train No.
Is, northbound express on the South
ern Pacific, was held up Fridaymornr
ing at Shady Point, two miles south of
Rosebury, Ore, by two or three men.
The train was on time at Shady Point,
where Engineer Morris saw man at
the side of the track waving a flag. He
slowed up for the signal and as he came
to stop a man armed with two revol-
vers came over the back of the tender
and covered him. At the same time
ano'-nr armed man, the one who had
tagged the train, appeared at the side
of the cab, and pointing revolver, or
dered the engineer not to attempt to
move the train, but to come down at
once and go with them to the express
car. The fireman, meantime, had got
down on the other side.
The two robbers and the engineer
then went to the express car, where
the outlaws ordered the express mes
senger to open the door. This he re-
fused to do. The robbers then un-
coupled the express car, returned to
the engine and backed the train, leav-
ing the express car separated. Mean
time the express messenger had left
his car.
After breaking the train in two the
robbers returned to the express car,
and with heavy charges of dynamite
blew the door open. Entering the Car
they attacked two small safes, which
they entered. The mail car was also
visited by the robbers and registered
letters taken.
The explosions set fire to the express
car, and when the robbers left it was a
mass of flames. The train crew worked
like Trojans, but were unable to save it.
The car and contents were almost to-
tally destroyed. The passengers were
considerably shaken up and frightened
but no one was injured. The robbers

An Explosion of NitrO-Glycerne Hurls
Two Men Into Eternity.
LIMA, o., Jan. 2S-A terrific nitro
glycerine explosion occurred at Cyg-
net, o., Wednesday afternoon, in which
two persons were instantly killed and
two others injured. The dead are: W.
]. Morrison, Lima, o., field superin-
tendent for the Ohio and Indiana Tor
pedo Co.; Ed Dennison, Rising Sun,
o., an oil well shooter A man named
Henning, who was 400 feet away from
the the explosion, was badly cut on the
head by flying debris. A little girl, a
thousand feet away from the scene of
the disaster, was cut by broken glass
that fell from the windows of her
home. Her injuries are not serious.
1t is supposed the two men now dead
were transferring the glycerine from
the magazine when it exploded. Both
were blown to atoms. The shock was
so severe that every pane of glass in
the town was broken, and doors were
blown off their hinges. The explosion
was heard several miles away.

The Slogan of the Manufacturers In Con-
ventIon at Philadelphia. r."
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S-The conven-'
tion of the National Association OF
Manufacturers was late in assembling
for Wednesdays session. The hrst
subject before the convention was the
discussion Of President Search's report.
On that part of the report under the
head 1.-The restoration of American
shipping" A. R. Smith, of New York,
contended that the protective tariff
imposed on imports has turned the at
tention of the people to the develop
ment of our internal affairs to the neg
lect of the extension of our shipping
interests.
Mr.. Smiths exceptions led to quite
discussion, in which his views were
sustained by other members.
A resolution was adopted that Presi-
dent Search appoint committee to
consider and report upon the best man
ner to restore the supremacy of the
American flag upon the high seas.
uc nCAU huOJSCO III OllS ~ S'iN'ShO Y u
report to come under discussion was
reform of the consular service" A
motion was agreed to referring to a
committee the question, with instruc-
tions to prepare report to congress
and the president, setting forth the
necessity of improvement in our con-
sular service.
In the afternoon the report of the
tariff committee was presented by
Charles Hcber Clarke. 1t was as fol
lows and was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of the National
Association OF Manufacturers that the tariff
law shou be revised at the earliest possible
moment, in order that uncertainty may be re-
moved. confidence restored and business per-
nit ed to revive.
Resolved, That rates Of duty should be made
rs low as consistent with adequate protection
Of our manufacturing and agricultural indus
tries and the labor they employ. The tarif
should Con ain only specific duties, or mixed AZ
valorem and specific duties.
Resolved, That congress be invited TO re-es
tabllSh and extend system OF reciprocit
which may secure for us tariff favors in Latin
American and other markets In which We ar
the largoSt buyers. while Europe is the pre-
ferred seller solely because Of the lower wag
rates and lower general cost OF production Il
