MCKINLEY is having a hard time
in getting first-class man to accept
the Treasury portfolio. Mr.. Dingley
has declined, Mr.. Aldrich has de-
clared that he would have nothing
to do with it, Mr.. Allison has re-
fused it, and Hanna could have it,
but hasn't taken it. They no doubt
prognosticate that the political
storms of the next forty years will
originate in and about this depart
ment and the fate of Carlisle bids
them beware.

SENATOR JOHN II. MORGAN, Of
Alabama, sent very interesting
letter to the Mobile Chamber of
Commerce last week, in reply to
their anti-Cuban resolutions. He
made a strong plea for freedom and
administered a severe rebuke to
selfish business interests that would
consign the island to slavery.
Among other things he said: 81
am not capable of weighing these
rights and aspirations for liberty in
scales that are adjusted only to
weigh the gains and losses of trade.
Nor do L believe thatany Alabamian
would have me so misrepresent a
gallant and christian people. The
Bourbon rules of Spain will never
allow peace to reign in Cuba while
those people are animated with the
hope that they may enjoy liberties
such as our people have. They
mustremain the slavish feaudatories
OF Spain without the right to life or
liberty except at the will of the
Spanish race, or they must perish" "

Gov. PiNGREE, who was in
augurated Governor of Michigan
last week, is a man of strong and
vigorous ideas, and many of his
recommendations made in his ad-
dress to the Michigan Legislature

came out strongly against "the paid

in a sublime piece of irony, he adds;
"If the Legislators are not intelll-
gent enough to give Independent

taken to modify the nuisance.

The FALL RIVER CUT.
Mill Treasurers and Oihar Officials Will Suffer
Same as the Employees.

Fall River. Mass, Dec. BIT was
learned. today. that the manufacturers
conference which is in charge Of the
pending reduction of wages OF mill oper-
auves is making progress toward the So
luton of the problem. The committee
will recommend that the salaries of the
treasurers be reduced in the same proper
ton as the wages of the employees. and
each member of the committee agreed to
bring about this reduction in the admin
istrative cost in his own mill. The com
mittee also directed that all overseers and
others not usually included in cutdowns
should be included
The price for weaving a cut of print
cloth will be reduced from Is to IS cents
and in departments where the least paw
is received the full cut of II per cent. will
not be made. The committee agreed that
cut OF 10 per cent. was as much as the
operatives could bear. in view of the cur
tailment of the past year. Notices of the
reduction will be posted in the mills. to-
morrow or Wednesday. but the details OF
the new schedule will not be given out
until Il day or two later
The schedule will probably he finished
in Il few days and it is proba Bile that
much Of the meeting, tomorrow afternoon
will be devoted to figuring it out. If the
operatives ask for Il conference. the COM
mittee will recommend that it he granted.
but an address. as was talked of at the
first. will not be prepared unless some
thlng new should develop to call for it.
The committee is unanimously in favor
of including every body connected with
the mills in the reduction and also OBJ
posing strike in every possible way.
There We're differences of opinion among
the members at Saturdays meeting, but
through it all perfect harmony prevailed.
Ii is known that some of the manufac-
turers voted for the cut down in the hope
that 1t would prove a strike, but there is
strong opposition to this in the commit
tee and every effort will be made by the
committee to prevent such q elimination
of affairs. If the mills should be closed
competitors would be given Il great adj
vantage and the gain would be wholly
theirs. The committee wants the manu-
facturers to make every effort to put the
matter in a true light to their operatives.
although no formal action was taken on
this. They will work to this end as in
dividuals.

covered over for the entire length with
planking. There are trap doors every lit

PATRIOTS NOT SURPRISED.
Doubts Of SanguilIy's Patriotism Have for
Some Time Been Entertained.

New York Dec. 13.-At the Cuban
Junta headquarters here. and from
other sources. it was learned that San
guilly's loyalty to the Cuban cause had
been under suspicion for some time
and that his action in offering his SER
vices unconditionally to Gen. BlancO,
was by no means surprise. Dele
gate Palmer, however, speaking for
publication. said he could hardly be-
lieve that Sanguilly had capitualated.
but he did not seem to attach much
importance to the report even if true.
A Cuban, prominent among the Rev
olutionists in this city, said Sanguilly
was not likely to go again within the
insurgent lines and that whatever ac-
ton he had taken would have no effect
upon the insurgent leaders still in the
field. Gen. Sanguilly was in New
York until about a week ago.
1t was said at the Junta that Senior
Angulo. referred to in the dispatch,
was not a member of that body; which
consists of only four members, Senior
Angulo is a Cuban lawyer and man

at Ceinfugos and at Sagua to consider
the advsability of sending a petition
to President Mckinley, asking for the
establishment of a United States pro-
tectorate over Cuba, if, within
months, the governments plans for the
pacification Of the island give no re-
suit. The government at Madrid has
cabled to Marshal Blanco, ordering
him to procure supplies by all possible
means for the troops and others in
need of them.
Later advices from Madrid seem to
show that Deputy Amblard will be en-
trusted with other offers to the Cuban
Junta when he reached New York.
He is said to have Informed the Span
ish ministers that he counted upon the
adherence of Gen. Sanguilly to the new
order of things and, if it is true that
the latter has offered his services to
the Spanish government. the influence
of Amblard at Madrid will be greatly
increased. In fact, he is said to have
already received considerable sums of
money to meet his expenses and it is
further stated. that the Reformists
and Autonomists here will not def
nitely complete the union until his re-
turn to Havana.

vile and adjacent towns, that the pro-
lection of smelts in Swan lake cease.
The petitioners claimed that the in
erase of smelts was detrimental to
trout fishing, that while the lake was
stocked with trout and salmon years
ago and has been protected, the fishing
is poorer than before that time. This
is due to the trout feeding on smelts.
The people living near the lake are
angry, as they want the privilege OF
catching smells as they had before It
was protected. New regulations for
fishing in the lake are also asked for.
When the hearing had been conclu,l-
it was made known that the special
law protecting smelts in this body of
water was repealed at the last session
of the Legislature and fishermen have
the right to fish through the ice for
smelts and dip them in the sprfn.r.
which virtually covers the prayer Of
the petitioners.
