JUDGE McKENNA.
Practically Settled That He VIII be a
Member of the Cabinet.

CANTON (O), Jan. 25.-Major Nc
kinley, in spite of zero weather. had 81
large number of callers to-day, but few
of them were men of wide reputation.
Three Southern Republicans. Messrs.
Pettibone, Houk and Baker, came to
urge the PreSident-elect to make H
Clay Evans of Tennessee Postmaster
General. Major Mckinley was much
interested in what they had to say. but
in view of the fact that there is and has,
been SO much opposition to Mr.. Evans
appointment from politicians in his own
State, 1T is not likely that he will be
offered a portfolio. There is no rea-
son, indeed, for supposing that the
Southern Republican in the Cabinet will
be other than Judge Nathan Goff Of
West Virginia.
There is still much comment upon the
rumor of Lyman j. Cages selection for
the Treasury portfolio. Letters and tel
egramS recommending in warm terms
the suggestion of Mr.. Gage in reference
to this position continue to reach the
President-elect in large numbers. No
tender of the Treasury portfolio has,
been made, but the chances that it will
be offered Mr.. Gage increase hourly.
Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied by her
sister, Mrs. Barber, and by Captain H.
o. Heistand, left for Chicago to- night.
She will be absent about week.
Major Mckinley does not expect to leave
Canton until he starts out for WASH

the arrest of a domestic employe who
had contracted for six months service,
but who had at the end of a month, for
reasons satisfactory to himself or her

Yet he asserted the right of the State to
do that upon just as solid a basis as the
decision of the court in this case. The
Supreme Court was all powerful, and
by ten-line decision might wipe out
the Magma Charta, and there was no
power to say it nay. This power was
conferred upon it by the Constitution,

to pass law which compelled one man
to serve another against his will 1t was

ELF-DESTRUCTION.
THREE OAKLANDERS TRY TO END
THEIR EXISTENCE.

Others Condition Is Reported
to be Serious.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25-C. H.
Nordhausen, a wealthy ex-merchant of
Oakland, attempted to end his life by
shooting himself at the Baldwin Hotel
early this morning
Last Saturday night Nordhausen

wound
The coat and vest on the wounded
man were powder burned, and the end
of silk necktie he had on was singed
off, showing that the pistol must have
been close to the body when the shot
was fired
NordhauSen refuses to talk and will
give no reason for his attempt to COM

shot was fired was found in the bath
room adjoining the room occupied by
him at the Baldwin.

Lllluokalani paid visit to the Presi-
! dent to-day. 1t was entirely informal
and was so designated in the note sent
by the deposed monarch to the President
! requesting the privilege of calling. and
the answer of the latter in granting it.
Helelule, agent and Secretary of Lii

as he grasped that of Liliuokalani, he
exclaimed: Il am very glad you
thought of calling on me-"
The President invited the ex-Queen
and her companions to be seated. and
then entered into a pleasant conversa-
ton with the former. They talked about
the death of Minister Willis. and the
ex-Queen spoke of him in words of
praise.
Yes, another word, Mr.. Cleveland he
always filled whatever political posi-
tion he occupied with credit to himself
and his country"
There was nothing said about restora-
ton, but Liliuokalani took occasion to
thank the President for his veto of the
treaty of annexation four years ago.
When Liliuokalani inquired about Mrs.
Cleveland's health, the President re-
marked that she had been preparing to
go out as he came down stairs but he
would ascertain whether she was in or
not. He called a messenger. who in
formed him that Mrs. Cleveland had
gone out walking a few minutes before.

WEYLER ENCOUNTERS NO REB-
ELS.
KEY WEST, Jan. 25.-Advfces from
Havana show the situation unchanged
between the sugar planters and General
WeyIer
OF the war little that is new can be
said. Weyler continues on his march,
without deviating from the highways
and railroad lines. Despite the strong
column marching with him, he appar-
emily fears to enter the unexplored re-
gions. AS he burns and destroys every
thing in his path, he illurninates his
way as if he carried torch in his
iHo4Ad, anu lllS IGDSGS can easily AVOID
any encounter with his column. Thus
it is explained why he has no encoun-
tiers with them.
As an idea of the notorious Fonde-
viela's character, it is said that when it
was reported to him that all of the
Spanish officers captured by Arguan
had been released he remarked: Ar
guam did well in nberating them, other
wise there would not remain a living
male Cuban in Guahabacoa."
Persons who have visited the town
say nothing could be q more shocking
sight. All the houses are closed, ladies
fear to look out of the windows, as the
soldiers will surely insult them few
citizens walk around the streets and
only armed soldiers, s0iled and repul-
siVe, are to be seen.
Rumors of the landing of an expedi-
tlon have been afloat in Havana the
past few days. One is said to have
landed in Pinar del Rio and another
around Manzanillo. The exact location
has not been ascertained.
The forces under Weyler's command
number l4,OO0 infantry, a cavalry reg
iment and twenty-five pieces of ar
tillery.
