BLISS AND SHERMAN.
Those who Claim tn Know Say These
Two VIII lie In McEinIey's Cabinet.


Cleveland, Jan. 1.-THE opinion among
those who claim to knew, IS that Senator
Sherman will be offered and will accept
the secretaryship of state in Mckinley's
cabinet, and that MIR. Hanna will be APP
pointed as successor OF Mr.. Sherman in
tte senate, place which he very much
prefers 10 any portfolio which the pres
ident-clect could offer him. Inasmuch
as the senatorial appointment would
have TO be made by Governor Bushnell,
the ARRANGEMENT herein suggested is
said to indicate the friendly feeling
which Senator-elect Foraker has for the
presldent-elect and for the chairman OF
the national committee. Regarding the
selection oe Cornelius ~ Bliss of New
York for secretary of the navy 1t is said
that Mr.. Bliss has been offered the place,
but that he deferred his acceptance until
he could ascertain whether he could so
arrange his business affairs as TO permit
OF his taking the place. General Alger of
Michigan IS counted as certain to be the
secretary OF war.

EVOLUTION IN MECHANICS.
Remarkable siownsss With Which I'm
proyementa Are Received.


When railroads were first started In
England the carriages for personal
transportation were constructed by
making long body frame. mounted
upon trucks. and placing ON 1t three
stage coach bodies, all being well bolt
ed together. The travelling public was
thus given accommodations which, III
interior arrangements at least, resent
bled very closely those to which they
had been accustomed, and after some
demurring, the new order of. things
was gradually accepted. AS the art
of car building progressed, however
it was soon found much better to con
struct the whole affair as one piece of
work, but the influence of custom was
so strong that the British railway car
riage Is still built on the stage coach
model, and 1t is to this cause rather
than to any other that the compart-
ment system owes Its being. Although
the carriage is practically built as one
vehicle, 1t Is ornamented on the out
side by mouldlngs, curved to follow
the old lines Of the stage coach' body,
and even when these mouldings are
oIitted in the lower class carriages,
curved stripes of paint are put on to
tell the story of the evolution of the
car from the coach. M
