CABINET POSSIBILITIES
McKinley's Efforts to Secure
C binet.
Many Call, But Few Aceept-BIIss the
Latest to Decline Preferred HonOrs
Lodge Denies That He is Candi-
date.

Canton, o., Jan. 1.-THE statement
made by Mr.. c. n. Bliss of New York
today to the effect that he was not a
member of Major McKinley's cabinet,
expresses the true situation tersely
and with precision. Mr.. Bliss Is not
member of Major McKinley's cabinet,
and he is not at all likely to be. The
reasons, which would make 1t impossi-
BILE for him to accept a cabinet posi-
ton are not a political nature. The
withdrawal of Mr.. Bliss from the list of
cabinet possibilities leaves the situation
open so far as the choice of a cabinet
officer from New York is concerned.
Major Mckinley has not selected "a
New York Republican for his cabinet,
and there is no reason to think he will
be In hurry to do so indeed, the i'm
preston is current here tat one of the
last members of the cabinet 10 be
chosen will be the representative from
the state of New York Gossip plays
tonight with unwonted vivacity about
the name of General Stewart L. Wood
ford of Brooklyn and J. Sloat Fassett.
His secretary of state having been
selected, Major McKinley's next task
will probably be that of choosing a
secretary of the treasury, and the
chances tonight are that this position
will not go to New York.
The New England field was scanned
for cabinet PROBABILITIES today by the
oresident-elect, who invited Senator
Henry Cabot Loge of Massachusetts
o consult with him upon the subject.
Senator Lodge said: 81 am not a
for a cabinet position. I am
atisfied to be a senator from Massa-
husetts. We talked today about ex-
Governor Long and others. Governor
-ong is very highly esteemed by the
eople of our commonwealth"
Senator Sherman, as was stated yes
erday in these dispatches, has been
,ndered and has accepted the portfolio
state. This announcement may be
onsidered conclusive. There Is no
pom for doubt or further discussion of 4
lie subject except as an established and
;cepted fact. The mails and telegraph
ave brought Major Mckinley food of
essages felicitating him upon the
loice of Senator Sherman for the high
t Office within his gift. The belief is
idespread that Chairman M. A. Hanna

Before the Introduction of vaccination, now

with No one safe from it, and there
was a German proverb to the effect that love
and smallpox were the two things from
which one could hope to escape. Trust
worthy estimates fix the annual death rate
from smallpox in England during the latter
part of the eighteenth century at the pro-
portion of 5000 to- every 1000, COO persons liv
ing which would mean. with our present
population, a death rate from this cause alone
approaching 100000 a year. Even if this
estimate is much too large there can be 10
question as to the enormous difference be-
tween then and now. II is going too far to
say with Mr.. Hutton that smallpox, in
spite of the fuss made about it, is pretty
nearly as extinct as the plague" for, though
preventive measures keep it within an ex-
tremeiy narrow compass, we have seen how
readily it may revive. In the year 1890 there
were only sixteen deaths from this disease
registered in the whole of England.-West-

Wherever the visitor goes on Coney
island there besieges his nos

how on earth they could possibly re-

the world begins and ends with the
frankfurter, and the poor being who
fails to realize this is certainly de-
serving of sympathy.

of them are counterfeit and some are
rot, but they all seem to be having
good time. They stop at the shooting
gallery. They view the wonders of

they can appreciate it, is open to them

TELEGRAPHING WITHOUT WIRES.
MarcOni's System Is Finding Favor
in Army and Navy Circles.

MarcOni's System Is Finding Favor
in Army and Navy Circles.
English electricians, particularly
those connected with the army and
navy, are much interested in the Mar
conf system Of telegraphy without
wires, says the New York Times. Some
remarkable work has already been done
with this machine and improvements
now making are expected to add many
miles to the two or three over which it
is already effective. The new trans
mitter consists of an accumulation bat
terry, an ordinary telegraph key, an i'll
ductiOn coil sending an eight-fnch
spark, and wires connecting the three.
The induction coil is wound, half with
thick WIRE the two ends of which are
connected with the key and battery,
are soldered to separate metal rods,
each with large brass sphere at its
extremity. If the key is closed for 4
short or long time a current passes
from the accumulatorS for a CORES
ponding period through the thick wire
of the coil and induces a current in the
thin one wound over it. The induced
current rushes to the brass spheres and
in the form Of bluish-tinted sparks
leaps the space that interveneS. In this
space is hung an ebonite vessel filed
with oil and having a brass sphere in
each side, opposite to and in direct
line with the two spheres previously
mentioned. In shape it is not unlike big
drum, with a ball stuck half through
each parchment side. From this point
the electrical waves are sent out in
short or long sweeps that overcome all
barriers and miles away actuate an
instrument that is in electrical har-
mOny with the transmitter.
The receiver is like a wire hoop brok-
en- at one point and separated there.
At each side of the break a copper
strip stands out. and these form arms
for collecting the electrical waves ap-
preaching it. A local battery and a
sounder are interviewed in the wire
hoop, but its current is not strong
enough to leap the gap. The waves
sent by the transmitter arrive at the
copper arms. flow down them, and
being Of vigorous electricity, easily
pass from one broken end to the other.
Each time the electrical waves jump
the gap the electrical circuit of the
hoop is completed, and the battery cur
rent is enabled to cross the break and
work the SOunder. Even a mountain
between the transmitter and receiver
does not, it is said, prevent transmits
sion, and secrecy can be maintained, If
necessary, by the use of cypher codes.
The system, it is thought, will be of
especial use to the commanders Of
fleets at sea by enabling them to COM
municate with their other vessels with
out the use of visible signals.

On the Fourth of July, Coney Island
is maelstrom. Into it are drawn that
stratum of society which considers
beer and skittles a banquet and a
variety show a dramatic heaven. 1t
does not cost much to go there, though
sometimes it is expensive in getting
away. 1t is cosmopolitan because it
cannot help itself. 1t is the oldest
place about New York. To sum it all
up, it is-Coney Island.

His only object in life is to make peo-
pie hear what he says and then induce
them TO investigate the truthfulness
of his remarks No place Of enter
