BANQUET OF F0RTY-ALRERS.
Story Telling and Feashng of Pacific Coast
Pioneers at Chicdgo-Ldst Years
Officers Re- Elected

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 23.-Old men
with gray hair, who crossed the plains to
the Pacific Coast in the days of the gold
fever in 1849, gathered at the fremont
House this morning to celebrate with
storytelling and feasting the discovery of
gold in California.
The day is known among the Pioneers
as Discovery day. The parlors of the Tre-
mont House were utilized as gathering
place, and at noon number of the Pio-
neers were in attendance.
AS soon as one of the mem bers of the
association would come into the parlors
he was met by President Addison Bal,
lard. and large yellow badge with the
California bear and the number "'49''
conspicuously displayed thereon was
pinned to his coat.
Many OF the mem bers were attended by
their wives, while many younger persons
looked on and heard the talk of hardships
and adventure.
The menu of the dinner served was an
elaborate one. but with no trace of the
grub which was graphically described
by one OF the story y-telers as the fare OF
the pioneers in the old days.
Last years officers were reelected as
follow President, Addison Ballard; sec
retary. George W. Hotchkiss; vice. presi-
dents. Ca mden knight and George G.
Custer.

FALL OF A TRAIN FROM A 7RES7LE.
The Engineer Fireman and Mail Agent
Killed and Seven Oilers Injured
bH he liSnster

BUTLER. Pa, Jan. 23.-This afternoon
one OF the most serious accidents in the
history OF the Pittsburg and Western
Railroad occurred at Paint Creek bridge,
one mile from Shippeusvile station.
Passenger train No. Z, from Kane, left
the track when crossing trestle and the
entire train went down a distance of
fifty feet into the river. Three persons
were killed instantly and only one per-
son. 1t is said, escaped injury. The train
consisted of bag 5age-car and two pas
senger coaches.
About thirty passengers were on board
when the frightful plunge was made.
The dead are: Daniel Moriarity engi-
neer; Ira Beatty, fireman; William
Copeley, mail agent.
The injured: Thomas Rainey; Con-
ductor Thomas Tanks; Brakeman Wise,
may die; J. T. Kelley, Cleveland; Will
lam Carruthers; - Johnson, Pittsburg;
]. NJ. Painter
A special train bearing the remains of
the dead trainmen arrived here at 9:30
o'clock tonight. The accident was caused
by the brakes refusing to work.

BANKERS APPROVE or GAGE.
Has M the Essential Qualities TO Make
Brilliant Secretary of the
TREASURY

NEW YORK. N. Y, Jan. 23.-The an
nouncement that Lyman J. Gage, presi-
dent of the First Nationa Bank of Chr
cago. is being considered by President
elect Mckinley for the Treasury portfolio
seems to have met with much approval
among bankers. E. H. PulIen, vice-presi-
dent of the Bank of the Republic, said
yesterday that no better choice could be
made. "Mr. Cage" said Mr.. Pullen, "has
the reputation of b ing one of the leading
tinanciers OF the United States. The bank
over which he presides has deposits OF
over $50, 000 600, which makes it one of the
heaviest institutions in the country. Mr..
Gage has all the essential qualities to
make brilliant Secretary of the Treasury.
He has been eminently successful; he has
had vast exper. .ence in monetary affairs; ;
he is at all times cool, collected, reticent
and, withal, courteous"
Thomas l.. James, president of the Lin
coin National Bank, said: 1.-The appoint
ment of Lyman ]. Gage of Chicago to be
Secretary of the Treasury would be an
ideal one--as good as could be made. 1t
would be on a par with the selection Of
such men as Henry w. Cannon or A. B.
Hepburn of this city.
Local Cabinet talk yesterday still
mainly concerned General Horace w.
Porter, and there was revival of talk
about General Tracy for Secretary of the
Navy, with the additional statement that
he is really the man Thomas G. Platt
wants to see in the Cabinet.
Cornelius n. Bliss has gone South and
it is not known whether he will visit
Fresident-eIect Mckinley before his re-
turn. 1t was part of the gossip about
Cobinet possibilities last night that if
General Tracy does not 90 into the Cabi-
net be will be the candidate of the major
ity of the Republicans for Mayor OF
Greater New York.
Despite the hard work which is being
done for General Porter there is a grow
ing impression in some quarters that
General Stewart L. Woodford will repre-
sent New York in the next Cabinet. OF
the three names presented to Major Nc
hinley in Canton by Edward Lauterbach
ne seems to be the most acce ptable.
j. Sloat Fassett and Serene E. Payne
have no expectation of getting the ap-
pointment.

ANXIETY FOR SHIPPING.
Ide City of DIsIM;h Has n Rough Time

Tae City of Duluth Has Rough Time
On Lake michigan.
BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Jan. 23.-
There is great anxiety felt for the safety
of The steamer City of Duluth, which is
eight hours overdue. Fhe steamer left
Milwaukee at O'Clock this morning with
a large cargo of -four and should have ar
rived here a II o'clock this forenoon. 1t
is believed she is somew here on the lake,
possibly disabled. A binding snowstorm
has prevailed all day, with heavy sea
running along this shore.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan % 3-The steamer
City OF Duluth, which left Milwaukee at
10:30 this morning, heavily laden with
merchandise for Benton Harbor, came
into the harbor here about o'clock to-
night The boat was sighted shortly be-
fore o'clock, when the storm, which has
been raging for twenty four hours, was at
its height, by the keeper of the four mile
crib, who thought he distinguished dis
tress signals from the crew. The city fire
alarm department was notified, and tug
was sent out to render assistance. The
vessel, however, made its own way in.
Captain McClain of the Duluth said
Chicago had BEEN extremely stormy.
Every effort to reach Benton Harbor with
the cargo was made, but the storm was
too severe and the boat went before the
wind. Finally they put about toward
Chicago and sighted the city lights about
7:30 o'clock. The boat was uninjured by
its struggle with the waves.
At he time the City of Duluth drew
into the harbor heavy gale was lashing
the lake and the snow was binding. Less
than an hour before the vessel was sighted
the Goodrich liner Iowa, laden with mer-
chandise and carrying a number of pas
sengers, left here for Benton Harbor.
Since the arrival here of the Duluth some
anxiety is manifested as to the ability of
the Iowa to master the gale.
Another boat is inside the harbor. She
put in't to escape the storm. The crew is
on board, but the name of the vessel is
not known.

GAGE WOULD NOT DECLINE.
If the Treasury Portfolio Is Offered Him
BY McKniey He Would Accept
Tho Hmm

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 23-In view of
Major Mckinley IS consideration of Ly yman
]. Gage for the portfolio Of the treasury
and the statements published regarding
the banker in this connection Mr.. Gage
said tonight to the United Associated
Presses:
II have not been rendered the appoint
ment to that position, but should it be
rendered to me l should not feel at liberty
to decline it. If Mr.. Mckinley is consid-
ering my name in connection with the
treasury portfolio, but shall finally deter
mine upon some other man, l shall feel
no sense of disappointment or chagrin
but shall congratulate myself that per-
sonaI sacrifice in many directions is not
required of me.
~ am Democrat in the sense that l
believe in the government by the people
paternalism in government. AS 10 parties
l have never voted any other than Re-
publican ticket. except once. and that was
in 1884, when l voted for Grover Cleve-
land. voted for Harrison in 1892, and OF
course for NJ cKinley in 1896.
"The platform of the last Republican
National Convention embodies my poll
tical beliefs as regards the issues then and
now of the country. AS revenue cannot
be raised by direct taxation, we are
obliged, therefore to- resort to indirect
taxation. as indirect taxation is less bur-
densome or more practical than the i'm
position of duties on foreign IMPORTS.
This taxation should be so ordered, how
ever, as not to foster monopolies, breed
trusts or favor the few at the expense OF
the many. l do not know how / can ex-
press my ideas more clearly than by say
ing that l believe in the raising of reve-
nues by customs dues, so levied as to
promote the general welfare, so eaua,izing
the difference between American and for.
eign labor"
The directors of the First National Bank
at an informal conference decided to leave
President Gage free to decide If he should
be rendered the appointment.

LONDON, ENG, Jan. 23.-The new Chi
nese Minister to England. Lo Feng Lo'
Is timed TO arrive in London early IN
June. He brings some magnificent pres
ents to the Queen, at whose diamond
jubilee fetes he is to figure. The foreign
office which has never got on well with
the present Chinese Minister, expects to
find in Lo Fend Lo better medium OF
communication with Pekin. Lo Fend 10
is credited with strong preference Tor
English built warships, and is said to
have almost carte blanche in the disposal
of Chinese money for English building
yards.
WI, the new Minister to Washington,
was born at Singapore, studied law in
London for some years and as called to
the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1877. Enter
ing Chinese official life at lien Tsin as
legal adviser to Ii Hung Chang he
rapidly rose, obtained a post at Pekin in
connection with the Tsung-L Lii amen,
ana now enters the diplomatic service.
The Wash ngton officials will find in

London, man of suave manners, con-
cealing much tact and sound common
sense.

AMERICAN MUNIFIcERcE.
Royal Contributions to the Indian Famine
Fund EcLpsed by Those of Astor
and MORAN Co.

LONDON. Eng. Jan. 23.-Contribut;ons
to the Indian famine relief fund at the
Mansion House by Lord Mayor Faudal-
Phillips are being steadily received, but
thus far they have not come up to popular
expectations. The subsc riptions of the
Queen, who sent $500, and of the Prince
and Princess of Wales, who together con-
tributed f250 have been overshadowed by
the donations of William Waldorf Astor
and Messrs. Morgan & Co., the former
subscrib bing 6 1000 and the latter $1,000.
Much comment has been made because
of The smallness of the subscription of the
Queen, who is EN- press of India, but as
her Majesty has never been noted for free
handed generosity her donation OF $500
should cause no comment, but should be
received in the spirit of small fayors
thankfully received.
The Prince OF Wales, as is we'll known,
is never burdened with any great excess
of cash, and his gift, small as it is, is,
fund is now getting on to the 100000
mark, but compared with the last fund
for a similar purpose, which amounted to
aboui 100000, it is as yet com paratively
insignificant.
This is no doubt due to the stupid action
of the Government, which. when the fund
was first proposed, threw cold water upon
itsonly to later have to acknowledge that
such a fund would be necessary to keep
thousands of the poyerty-stricken natives
of India from starvation.

Costly gestin, oniaLs.
CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 23-TweIve hun
dred friends OF Ex-Governor John P. Alt
geld came through the snowstorm to the
fremont House tonight to show their es-
TEEN. The reception rendered the Demo-
cratic State leader took an interesting
form. Altgeld was the recipient OF three
costly testimonials during the day and
night. In the afternoon the German socl-
eties as community were represented at
the house of the Governor, where they
presented him with an address, mahog-
any desk and chair, a silver inkstand and
a gold pen and holder.
At the evening session Carter H. Harri-
son, president of the Bryan League, who
presided in the banquet-hall, presented TO
Mr.. Altgeld on behalf of his friends an
antique oak chest con tanning 200 pieces of
table silver. A silver tea and coffee SER
vice of five pieces was also presented, the
tota, value of the gifts being $500.
The German Democracy of the city at
the same time presented testim ontal in
scrlbed on parchment and inclosed in
morocco case. Many Populists were
present, the Silver party and Legislature
also being well represented.
In making his response, Mr.. Altgeld
expressed his appreciation of the honor
paid him by the Democratic members of
the General Assembly in voting for him
for Senator when the party owed him
nothing. He denounced Mark Hanna as
the 'debaucher OF continent" in the
last election. He said the election vote
showed "that the plutocratic forces OF the
country have demonstrated their ability
TO unite with and 10 control the very ig-
norant and the very poor vote of the coun-
try, and in that way to override and to
defeat the will of the more intelligent and
patriotic element in American politics."
