MADE WITH VIEW TO M'KIN-
LEY'S COMING

London Feb Fin view OF the expected McKin-
ley tariff, the London Chamber OF Commerce re-
Gently recommended that all foreign contracts or
quotations for future delivery the basis OF duty

mentioned conditioned the duty duties
chargeable and the classification OF goods remain
ing the same as at the date OF contract or quo
tation. and should provide that the buyer should be
held responsible for any increase OF duty taking
place before the completion of delivery. Mr.. MUIR

told representative OF the United Associated
Presses that the suggestions contained in this
recommendation are already being acted upon by
members of the Chamber in their American con-
tracts Mr.. Murray denied that this provision
specially designed against the threatened Mckinley
tariff and contended that II had been much sug-
gested by changes I'm European tariffs By fears
of a change in the American tariff.

wooDFoRD GOES TO WASHINGTON.


RUMoRs OF HIS APPOINTMENT TO A PLACE IN
THE CABINET REVIVED.
General Stewart I. Woodford left Brooklyn yes
terday for Washington accompanied by Mrs. Wood
ford. Tribune reporter who called at the Gen.
erals house last evening was told by servant
that General Woodford would probably be away for
at least ten days and that his Washington address
would be the Arlington Hotel
General Woodfords sudden departure for Wash
ington. following closely upon the announcement
that Colonel John J. McCook has declined Cabinet
appointment. revives the old rumor that General
Woodford Is likely to be New-York States repre-
sentative IN the Cabinet. The impression prevails
among Brooklyn Republicans that II New-York
state Ia represented at all In the Cabinet It will be
by General Woodford. When Congressman Francis
n. Wilson was considered a leading possibility for
the Navy portfolio Brooklyn Republicans were
divided In their sympathies between General Wood
ford apd Mr.. Wilson. but since the Congressman
dropped out OF the race there has been practical
unanimiy OF sentiment in General Woodfords
favor. and there few II any Republicans In the
city who would not be pleased TO him receive
a Cabinet appointment. The place which 1t Is con-
sidered that he Is most likely to get Is the Secre-
taryship OF the Interior.
