PORTFOLIO FOR BLISS,
He Has Been Rendered. and Accepted tn
 Navy SecretarNshin.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 6.-rresident Elect Mckinley and Marcus A. Hanna have at last got down to the serious work of con- structing a cabinet for the new admins. tration.
 There seems to be no possible doubt that Cornelius x. Bliss of New York was offered and has accepted the secretaryship of the United States navy under the new administration. It is said this arrange ment was accomplished at the home of Chairman Hanna on Monday afternoon in the presence and with the consent of the New York member of the prospective cab inet. It Is the first definite step toward the construction of the cabinet, which will probably be followed soon by definite understanding with Senator Allison, whom Major Mckinley will meet in Can ton this afternoon.
 The visit of the treasurer of the national Republican committee Mir. Bliss, on Mon day was arranged with so much secrecy that it was only the chance meeting of a Cleveland acquaintance of Mir. Bliss at the railroad station on his departure for New York Monday night that divulged his presence in Cleveland. Mir Bliss arrived in Cleveland. however, early on Monday morning and was driven directly to Mir Hanna's house, where he remained in con sultation both with the president elect and the national chairman until late in the afternoon.
 With the appointment of Mir. Bliss goes the assurance that Mr. Whitelaw Reid of New York win be the next ambassador to the court of St James

the national guard and impair its high standard of service. This suggestion, if agreeable to the constitution, might we'll extend to the whole of the governors staff. for it is certain that the national guard would be served quite as we'll by officers with a more permanent tenure, and 1t is equally certain that the luster shed upon the governor by his staff might be dis pensed with without loss of his dignity or danger to the state.
 Concerning the excise question, which promises to be one of the most important with which rhe legislature will have to deal this SC s on, the governor says:
 Tbe operation of the present excise law has been in many respects satisfactory
 The revenue received from it from May to Nov. 20 was sll ,000, oS3, more than twice as much as the receipts for licenses during the entire year of 1895. It has caused large decrease in the number of saloons, and the expense of running the excise department is less than that of run ming the old excise boards The law can,
 however, he improved, and that improve ment should be among the first duties of this legislature. Some of the amendments needed are obvious to those living where the law has Teen applied, and others are apparent to those who have given the sub ject careful study. Neither class of amend ments can be rccited with any profit here, but all changes should have in view the l protection of those who have in good faith | attempted to obey the law and the proven
 ton of those who, by subterfuge or direct \ violation, have attempted to evade it. Referring to the proposition for bien-
 nial sessions, Governor Black says:
 In many states the legislature convenes
 once in two years, and wherever that prac- | tice prevails l understand there is DO dis ! position to return to the yearly meeting. | This is a large state, and its interests arc | enormous and diverse, but these do not 1 justify or even excuse the large number of confusing, expensive and unnecessary laws passed at every session. They serve no | proper purpose whatever, and their tend | ency is to unsettle and mislead, even if
 they contain nothing more objectionable. 1 The legitimate needs of this state can be
 provided for in a shorter time than Is gen.
 erally consumed, and the chief hope, aris- i ing from rrotracted sessions and the pas | sage of unnecessary laws, is that the people
 may in their next constitution conclude to
 correct both with biennial sess aas.

MOONS PHASES.
TRAIN WRECKERS CONFESS.
Negroes In Jail at Birmingham Admit
 Planning to Rob a Train.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala Jan. 5.-Four of the
 five train wreckcrs in jail here confessed
 to the formation of the plot to wreck and
 rob the Southern railway fast express from
 Washington ct McCombs trestle, 12 miles
 east of this city, on the night of Dec. 19,
 and this confession leads to the belief that
 the same gang removed the rail which
 wrecked the Birmingham Mineral train
 at Cahaba river bridge, causing the death
 of 26 people and insuring Il others, on Dec. 27, although those under arrest arc
 as yet silent as to this wreck.
 Last week five negroes, Andrew Reagan, Tom Ingram, Tom Parker, Emanuel Bill ings and Rome Scales, were arrested by deputy sheriffs and railroad detectives, it is said, on a confession of one of the num- Der. All were miners at Henry Ellen, near McCombs trestle- All Lut Reagan have new confessed. Parker, who did most of | the talking, says that Feagan was the | leader of the plot, that he proposed the | wrecking of trains one night at a dance as | a good scheme by which to get Christmas | n.oney, and that the five agreed to engage | in the wor-;. with the understanding that | those who failed to stand to the agree1nen, | should be killed by the others
 The details of the plot, which failed | correspond with those of the Cahaba | wreck, and the officers are convinced that | they have the men who are responsible fol | the bridge disaster.

STRIKING MINERS.
They Refuse to Accept Reduction
 Wages and Quit Work.


 Wages and Quit Work.
 PITTsBURG, Jan. 5.-A big strike On coal miners has occurred on the Wheeling division of the Baltimore and Ohio raih road. The strike was caused by the re fusal of the operators to pay the so cent rate as promised in the late joint conyon ton Of miners and operators. About 1,20C men are out and nearly every mine closed down.
 MAsSuLoN. O., Ian. 5.-Notiees have been posted at all the mines In the Massil- lon district announcing reduction in the price of pick mining from 6l to 51 cents a ton. The notice promises that 1T the com ing convention at Columbus shall fix . higher rate than 5l cents the operators will pay it from Jan. ]. The posting of the no- tice had the immediate effect of causing a cessation of work at all tine mines in the district. and by this time nearly ;. 00o men are believed to be idle. A convention has been called to meet on the 7th inst. to con sider the reduction.
 BELLAIRE, O., Jan. 5.-The 250 miners in the Maple Hill and BogRs mines at Barton, six IaileS north of this city, have struck for an advance of cents This ac- tion is because of a resolution passed by the convention last week to the effect that 51 cent rate should be demanded. The miners demanded the advan,e and were refused. It is probable that sim liar strikes will be inaugurated throughout eastern Ohio unless the advance is granted.

Pasteur and Sillworms.

A disease broke out among the silk worms of France ill 1858 which threat ened to ruin the business. In 1858 a government commission was appointed to inquire into the cause of the evil and suggest remedy, when, by the labors of Pasteur, tbe disease was found to be due to microbes developed i'll the bodies of the silkworms. Pasteur was fortunate enough to discover remedy, and the silk industry of France soon resumed its former prosperity.
