people as sample copies were against 1t. And
with them were the paper makers, the news
associations, and many interests. Ihese
conflicting interests were sufficient to cause
very lively debate. One passage OF arms
was very interesting and helped the passage
of the bill very much Mr.. Moody of Massa-
chusetts fwho was heard in Maine several
times during the campaign) had favored the
bill. Amos Cummings who always amuses
the House when he speaks, was sitting be-
hind Moody, and when he arose to speak
stopped over him and in loud tones, but in
a facetious manner literally poured out Vials
OF wrath on MIR. Moody because the latter
favored bill against the interests OF cer-
tain Massachusetts publish ers who had ask
ed Cummings TO oppose the bill "Has pride
in Mass achusetts ebbed so low in your
breast, that the people of you state have to
come to New York to find a Congressman TO
protect their interests?' beloved. Cum
mings down upon Moody, while the house
laughed uproarously. ''Have you no state
pride left? etc. As soon as he could get the
floor Mr.. Moody replied, very earnestly but
with dignity, saying that he was proud to
represent the interests of Massachusetts, but
her interests were the general interests OF
her whole, and not of the special interests
of the few. Delivered with great vigor and
earnestness, this reply undoubtedly made
votes for the bill, and was generously ap-
plauded.

man Revived.
Washington, January 7.-Cabinet aos-
sip was lively at the capitol today. The
report was revived this morning that the
portfolio of state bad been tendered SEN
ator Sherman. NJ any we'll informed mem
bers of the House and Senate believe
that Mr.. Sherman will be Mr.. Olney's
successor in the state department Those
who assume to reflect Mr.. Sherman's
views maintain that he has no cabinet
aspirations and would prefer 20 remain
in the Senate. MAJOR Mckinley 1t Is said
has determined If Allison will not accept
the premiership Of his administration
Senator Sherman must. and it is Thought
the latter is unwilling to disappoint
him. Senator Allison has been reelected
for another term and his position as
chairman of the appropriation commit
tee gives him great prominence IN tne
Senate. His Iowa friends think he would
be unwise to exchange the position Tor
which he is admirably qualified for
cabinet portfolio.
The same considerations are also thought
largely to influence Representative
DingIey of Maine who at present Is more
interested in the preparation OF tariT
bill than in the secretary ship OF the
treasury. Mr. Dingley has almost ceased
to be a factor in tbs speculations respect
ing the personnel Of the cabinet. Mr..
Hanna is still regarded ms cabinet pos
sibility although his Ohio friends main
tain that he only desires seat in the
Senate.

Washington, January 7.-During these days
the committee room OF Ways and Means
is crowded every day from early in the fore
noon until late in the afternoon. Men come
from all parts of The country, each laden
with his burden of information, and dump
it all down in the committee room before
the sixteen men who sit around the table.
Part of this information is in written
form, and part is given orally. The oral
portions are all written down by steno-
graphers as they are given, and then are
written out and printed with indexes. The
written statements are arranged topically by
the clerk of the committee, so that the in
formation on each item and schedule may
be at hand when the work of constructing
the bill begins. The people who make pill
grimages to the Ways and Means room come
in bands, according to the schedules. On
Tuesday the farmers and fishermen came,
Wednesday the sheep owners, and Thursday
the wooden manufacturers. The men who
appear speak one by one; and while many
of them represent special interests in a
special way, they learn to be pretty careful
about their statements For the members
of the committe have at their disposal the
classified information of the past and are
liable to pull it out for the benefit of the
speaker, and to his discontinue if he at
tempts to pull the wool over the committee s
eyes.

Kalamazoo, Mich, January 1.-THE

ley, son of Congressman Dingley, pub
fishes an authoritive despatch from
Washington today:
sslt oan be stated definitely that Con-
gresham Dingley, of the way and means
committee has decided not to accept the
cabinet position. He was offered the
place of secretary of treasury by Pres1-
dent-eleot Mckinley and given time to
considerSit.
Great pressure was Drought TO nave
him accept it, He has definitely decided
not to take the place. His present du
ties are much more congenial to him and

of the treasury portfolio would serious
". impair his health.

treasury are still untitled and until they
are provided for, no other cabinet ap-
pointmepts will be made.
Gen. Felix Angus and ether southern
men who haveZtalked with Mckinley to-
day have the impression that he would

from one of the border states. Gen.
| Angus spoke warmly in favor of Judge
Nathan Goff of West Virginia to Major
Mckinley.

The debate on the Loud bill on Wednesday
afternoon was very lively, especially after
the bill was thrown open for amendment.
"Comfort,'' Mr.. Gannett's successful paper,
and the other publications at Augusta,
were referred to time and again. Comfort
received the most attention and was re-
ferred to over and over again. One of the
jokes of the day was occasioned by MI. MIL
liken. In praising the enterprise Of the
Augusta publishers, Mr.. Milliken declared
that Augusta had sent more brains to the
House and Senate than any other city OF
10, 900 inhabitants in the nation. Shortly
after Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa arose, and in
speaking began to refer to Mr.. Milliken as
s'the gentleman from Augusta Pretty
soon Mr.. Milliken objected saying that he
did not live within forty miles of Augusta.
ssAh, was in error then,'' said Mr.. hep
burn. But when heard that Augusta had
sent more brains to this House and the Se~R
ate than any other city of 10000 inhabitants
in the country, supposed of course that
the gentleman from Maine must live in
Augusta Mr.. NIillil1en did not seem greatly
abashed at the good natured laughter which
folio wed.
