Canton, o., Feb. 1.-The announce
ment made by Hon. James F. Wilson
of Iowa today that he had been ten
dered the portfolio of agriculture, and
had accepted, fills the cabinet with
reasonable certainty. excepting the Of
fees of attorney general and post
master-general. The Mckinley cab
met to date, therefore, may be given
as follows:
Secretary of State-Sherman Of
Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury-Gage Of
Illinois.
Secretary of War-Alger of Michi-
gan.
Secretary OF the Navy-Long of
Massachusetts.
Secretary of the Interior-McKenna
| of California.
Secretary of Observation-Disclosures of
Iowa.
/ Governor Long and Judge McKenna
| have not announced the certainty OF
their appointments and there is a
bare possibility that" the Massa-
.chusetts statesman may be displaced
by General Stewart l.. WoodfOrd Of
New York.
One of the untitled portfolios will, of
course, be given to New Yorker, and
if the foregoing list, giving five of the
eight offices in the cabinet to the
west, should be the. fixed slate, there
is no likelihood that either the post
office or justice departments will be
directed by western man. One
eastern and one southern man are ex-
pected to be appointed to these two
vacancies, prominent among the latter
candidates being Hon. H. Clay Evans
OF Tennessee since the declnation of
Judge Nathan Golf of West Virginia.
In addition to his cabinet appoint
ments Major Mckinley has found time
to fix upon Charles G. Dawes of Evan
stOn. ILL.,, for the position of comp
troller of the currency when Comp
troller EckelS' commission expires in
1898, or unless he resigns in the mean
time. Major Mckinley and Mr..
Dawes sincerely hope Mr.. Eckels will
see his way clear to retain his position
for another year, his prospective sue
eessor being particularly anxious that
the impression shall not get abroad
that he wants to shorten Mr.. Eckels'
term.
There was a scarcity of callers at the
Mckinley house today, which enabled
the president-elect to attend to his
correspondence and go over his in
augural address. Among the prominent
callers were Congressman La Folette
OF Wisconsin, William P. Roberts of
Minneapolis and R. G. Dorr of New
York
Mr.. Dawes was Major McKinley's
confidential representative in Illinois
before the state convention and after
wards was a member of the Republic
an executive committee at the Chicago
headquarters in the same capacity.
Major Mckinley wanted him in the
White House as secretary. but Mr..
Dawes declined and picked out the
which he was told he
could have. He is a civil engineer. a.
national bank director the president
of three gas companies, a writer Of a
book on banking. former resident of
Lincoln, Neb., where he was a lawyer
and a business man, and a son of

Dock Laborers' Strike in Berlin De-

London, Feb. 1.-The Standards Ber-
lin correspondent telegraphs that the
strike of dock laborers and others
employed in the shipping trade at
Hamburg has ended in the complete
defeat of the strikers, owing to the
lack of funds. Many of the men are
now trying to obtain work, only to
find that their places have been filled.
This result of the great strike was
predicted in the dispatches of the
United Associated Presses some weeks
ago. 1t is remarkable that OF all the
80 strikes that took place in Germany
in 1896, not one has been successful
although they cost many millions of
marks. In February there was the
greatest strike in ready-made clothes
trade and in March that among the
textile workmen at Cottbus and Null
hous. Then followed the tilers, shoe
makers, cigarmakers and capmakers
strike in Berlin. Next the cutters in
the district of Solingen went out and
were followed by the hands of the
engine factories at Biebelfeld, and so
on. Altogether 100000 men were out
during the year, but sthey all were
compelled to go back again without
attaining their object

San Francisco, Feb. 1.-Although the
and half distant there is much ac-
tivity among local sporting men, pro
fesSional men, men of wealth and the
usual element which would never think
of missing prize fight, and particu-
larly one of such moment as a battle
between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.
The wise ones, who have followed
| fighters into small towns before and
know what it is to walk the streets at
night, or find lodgings out doors, have
commenced to send kilograms to Car
son offering premiums for choice no
tel accommodations. One enterprising
individual, who has earned a reputa-
ton for having pockets full of tickets
for choice front row seats on Patti
nights when the house was supposed to
be sold, has kept the wires hot during
the past II hours in an effort to secure
corner on all the spare rooms in
Carson-for everybody now seems to
concede that Carson will be the scene
of the great battle. He was reported
last night to have secured one entire
hotel and two small lodging houses
Harry Corbett, brother of the man
who is to do battle with Fitzsimmons,
expects to leave this city today or to-
morrow for Nevada for the purpose of
selecting a suitable training ground
for James J. He expects to be gone
about a week. Harry says that sew
eral locations have been suggested to
him, but he has no idea at present
which place he will select. The pro-
gramme at present mapped out by his
brother, says Harry, is to come direct
to this city from Kansas City with his
trainers. He will remain here several
days, meanwhile taking light exercise,
and will then go to Nevada for four
weeks Of heavy wor--. Harry Corbett
intends to organize large excursion
party of his and his brothers friends
and admirers to make the trip to Me-
vada the day before the fight. He will
charter several Spef cars for the
purpose. 1t is thous.t that at least
! 900 people will. go from this city to
witness the battle.
Charley Bacon, the old time sport,
thinks the race tracks will probably
close down for a week in order that
any of the good things at home.
George Green. the well known well
ter-weight of this city, is looking for
ward to match with Tommy Ryan,
the champion of that class. to take
place Immediately preceding the Cor
-Fitzsimmons battle. He is wait
ing for news from Stuart. Green first
kid" Lavigne, but that
clever boxer declined the meeting.
Green wants the championship badly
and wants to fight for it. His mana
ger, second and trainer, Big Bill
Lange the base ball player, says he
has $4,000 to put UP as side bet that
Green whips Ryan.

Bye-Election in Dundee.

Dundee, Feb. IA bye-election to fill
the vacancy in the house of commons
caused by the resignation of Mr.. James
Martin White, Liberal, was held in
Fcrfarshire Saturday. The result of
the polling, which was announced this
morning, showed the return of Cap
tain John Sinclair. Liberal, who re-
ceived 5,423 votes, against 4,965 cast for
the Hon. Charles MaUler Ramsey,
Unionist-a Liberal majority of 45S.
Mr. Sinclair is a radical, favoring
home rule, electoral reform, reform of
the parochial board system of Scot
land, and of the land laws and an
eight-hour bill for miners, etc.
The resignation of Mr.. White, which
caused the bye-electiOn, was caused by
his being made the defendant in an
action for breach of promise brought
against him by Miss Ellen Grant, a
daughter of a Dundee Clergyman, which
action is now pending. Immediately
after his resignation in November last,
Mr.. White started for India. Mr.. White

BANK BURGLARIZED.
Safe Is Blown Open With Nitro
Glycerine.

Centreville. Ia, Feb. 1.-Bradley's
bank at Eldon, a railroad town on the
Rock Island road, was entered by burg
lars at o'clock this morning, the
safe blown open with nitro O-glycerine
and the contents, amount to $1,000 in
gold, silver and currency, taken. The
noise of the explosion aroused the en-
tire town, but before anyone arrived
upon the scene the 5bers had es-
capped. Pursuit was at once instituted,
but up to a late hour this afternoon no
trace of them was found. 1t is said
there were three men in the gang.
Blood found spattered on the walls in
dicated that one man had been in
jured. The trail led to a window,
through which entrance had been eff
fected. The bank carried a burglar
policy, which covers the loss. 1t is
one of the Bradley chain of eight
banks in southern Iowa and northern
Missouri. The Bradley bank at Moul-
ton, Ia, was burglarized in the same
manner last March.

either candidate: with the members
d@precating all dark horse proposals
and disinclined TO entertain the sug-
gestion of caucus. the prospect for a
settlement of the senatorial fight can
not be pronounced faVOra BILE. Last
evening the end seemed no nearer than
al the beginning.
Yesterdays balloting. as foreshadOwed
by The Herald, resulted in diminished
vote for Thatcher. He gained one vote,
that of Senator Cannon, and lost two,
Shepard and Wilson. Rawlins made
unexpected gains, climbing back 10 10.
while Henderson remained stationary
at Il. For the first time in the con-
test all of the Democratic and Populist
votes are cast for the three candi-
dates, and the signs Of wavering that
were discernible a few days ago have
disappeared. Thatchers great stride
last Saturday had the effect of binding
the supporters of his opponents more
closely together and last evening there
was not the symptom of break in the
lines.
The action of Shepard and Wilson, in
going back to RaWlins yesterday, was
a surprise to the Thatcher managers
While the latter do not claim that
these votes were absolutely pledged
. to them for yesterday. they say that
4 they had good reasons to expect them.
NIr Shepard denied that they gave any
raedge whatever for yesterday. Here
safter," he declared, I shall be a free
lance l do not owe allegiance to any
candidate. and will not caucus with
any side. In ballotibg my course will
be decided bv circumstances"
1t is not expected that either Shepard
or Wilson will vote for Thatcher today.
AT none of the headquarters last eve
ming was the belief expressed that to-
days balloting would show any i'm
portant change from yesterday. The
report was circulated that d. S. Cook
was likely to leave Thatcher, and it
was learned that he had been luke
warm for some time past, but the

IS GETTING READY.
Judge McKenna Preparing TO Move
to Washington.

San Francisco. Feb. Judge McKenna,
of TIE United States circuit court, is ar
ranging his affairs with view to taking
up his residence in Washington as a
member of Mckinleys cabinet This
much he admitted today. though he would
not state positively that he had ac-
cepted the portfolio. saying the an
nouncenent must first come from the
president-elect. AS there are several i'm
Dortant cases pending before Judge Nc
Kenre. he will not be able to start for
Washington before the latter part Of
March and he probably will not send in
his resignation until after Mckinley is
inauSurated. in order that his successor
will be a Repuhlican.
