JUDGE M'KENNA ACCEPTS.
The San Francisco Jurist VIII he secrctar,
OF the Interior.

OF the Interior.
CANTON, o., Feb. I.-Judge Joseph
McKenna, of San Francisco, has ac-
cepted the portfolio of secretary of the
interior in President McKinley's cabi-
net. Judge McKcnna's first assistant
will probably be Maj. Warner, Of Kan
sas City. This information was given
yesterday by the president-elect to q
delegation of Missourians, who called
upon him to urge the appointment of
Judge William Warner. They went
back happy, however, because they
were given to understand that after
the inauguration there was likely to
be vacancy in the cabinet, caused by
the expected resignation of Justice
Field, of the supreme court, and the
appointment of one Of the new cabinet
officers to his place on the bench. Who
the appointce will be in the event of
the resignation was not disclosed.
