lie Will be Secretary or the Trea.
Sury.

Canton, o., Jan. 2S.--Lyman ]. Gage
who Will be the next Secretary of the
Treasury, arrived at Major McKlnley's
house a few minutes before 3 o'clock
this afternoon. He was warmly well
coined by the President-clect. who
stra!ghtway withdrew with him for n
private conference which lasted tin G
O'Clock. The President-elect and his
Secretary of the Treasury had n full and
very satisfactory talk, in which they
discussed AT length the financial ana
taritf policies of the next administration
and considered the problems that would
ca!i Tor immediate solution by means Of
legislation.
THOROUGH UNDERSTANDING
The Presldent-elect and Mr.. Gage are
IN thorough accord upon all financial.
poiltieai and economic policies. The de-
mand Tor Mr.. Cages appointment came
from nearly every commercial center In
the country, and from men of both
parties He Is indorsed not only by the
business world, but by many labor or
ganiZations as well. The direct claim Is
made in nearly all OF the mass of letters
and telegrams which have reached Maj.
Mckinley respecting Mr.. Gage that the
direct effect of his appointment Will be
to hasten and render certain the restora-
tion OF confidence. Major Mckinley has
been thinking about Mr.. Gage for seve-
raj weeks In connection with the Trea-
sury portfolio, but had been led to be-
lieve that he could not accept IL
1t has also been Major McKlnley's in
tention from the day he was elected to
choose n Western man for Secretary of
the Treasury if he could find an availa-
Bile man. Mr.. Gage meets all of the re-
quirements, 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 filed by an Eastern man. II
can be safely assumed that Major Nc
l<inley has not vet decided upon six men
for his Cabinet. though he has for
merly rendered all of them portfolios.
THE SLATE AS MADE UP.
The men who are regarded as Ger.
tain OF appointments are: John Shcr-
man. Lyman ]. Gage, Nathan Goff, JOS
cph McKenna. John D. Long and James
Wilson. OF Iowa, for Secretary of AgrI-
culture.
General r. A. Algers appointment as
Secretary of War is probable. but by no
means certain. The one remaining port
folio. which is not likely TO be rendered
before the middle or last of February,
Will doubtless go TO q New Yorker or q
Pennsyivanian.
GAGE ADMITS TT.
Mr.. Gage said this evening and au-
thori2ed the Southern Associated Press
10 say:
II have been rendered the appointment
Of Secretary of The Treasury by Major
Mckinley and have accented IT"

day were four colored bishops-B w.

Idea of the bill Is to invest primary

safeguards against fraud as are pro-
vided for regular elections in this

Handsome Design Worn by the Menu
bers of the Committees.
The badges which have been used to des-
ignate the members of the various COM
mittees in connection with the prepara-
tions for Major McKinley's Inauguration
have excited general comment. The COM
mittee on badges, of which Mr.. Simon Wolf
is the chairman, had fifty or more designs
from which to select inaugural badges for
the committees, and after careful examina- l.
ton and consideration decided upon the
design submitted by Col. Jos. K. Dawson
of Philadelphia. The emblems are neat and
tasteful, and at the same time highly dec
orative, showing high amount of skill
and Judgment in their selection. The badge
consists of medallion of bronze pendent
from a bar, which in turn is suspended from
another bar by golden silk ribbon, on which
is embroidered an American flag in silk.
The upper bar represents the Capitol build
ing while on the second bar is inscribed
inauguration, March 4, 1897" On the
face of the medallion are the portraits OF
Mckinley and Hobart in bas-relief On the
reverse is a handsome design of the United
States seal with the names of the thirteen
original states, chrOnogically arranged III
scrolls. The names of the remainder OF the
states of the Union arranged around

PROBABLY FATAL WOUND.
Joseph Hadger Shoots Himself and II
in a Critical Condition.

Joseph Hadger an employe Of the George
E. Lemon Pension Agency, who resides
with his parents at 1912 East Capitol street,
attempted suicide about o'clock yester-
day afternoon by shooting himself through
the head.
He was removed at once to the Emer-
gency Hospital in the ambulance and Is ly-
irg at present in an extremely critical con-
dition, with little hope Of recovery. The
bullet, which Is of 80 caliber, is lodged
among the delicate tissues inclosing the
brain, and it is fea-ed by the physicians
that any effort to dislodge it will result IA
tally for the patient.
The friends of the young man are at A
loss to account for his rash act, as he never
seemed in better health and humor than
during the past week. The family. how
ever, attribute the deed to an attack of
temporary insanity due to an accident
which occurred to the young man years

in the head

act, which, with the coolly deliberate meth
cd employed by the young man, adds
weight to the theory of mental unbalance.

The police arrangements today We're as

The Capitol and grounds were also well
guarded, and the pension office will fairly
swarm with detectives in faultiess evening
attire, during the progress of the great bal

regular police force is centered down town
while the outlying districts are in severa
instances in charge of special policemen.

detectives took into custody the following
as suspicious characters. Several of then
