WASHINGTON, March 5.-None of the
members of President McKmley's cabinet ap-

1T Is probable they will not be installed In their
respective Offices until the beginning Of next
week. Meanwhile the holdover secretaries
continue to discharge the duties Of their
places Of course refraining from opening up
any new questions even passing upon old
ones Of Importance wherever possible. There
has been a lul in the speculation as to the
subordinate secretaries heads of bureaus I'M
protected by civil service rules, etc. The only
name that came out prominently today
that Of Harrison G. Otis, proprietor of the
Los Angeles CAL, Times, who, it is under
stood. is slated to be assistant secretary Of
war. to succeed Gen. Joseph Doe, of Wis
consin.
Hon. Lyman J. Gage, of Chicago, will take
the oath tomorrow at II o'clock in the

THAT GEOGRAPHICAL ARGUMENT

Decidedly the funniest thing about
the fight over the location Of the fourth
hospital for the insane is the solemn
appeal made by the Minneapolis press
to decide this question on geographical
grounds. 1t cares nothing whether the
hfspital is placed at Anoka or at Hast
ings. Oh, dear, no. But it is just
paralyzed at the thought that the
this institution and take it away from
the north; and it urges the south to
be moderate and the north to be ag-
gressive in the interest Of Anoka. What
a comical farce this is, to be sure
Without entering upon the merits Of
the question at all, which have been
already discussed sufficiently in these
columns, let US call the attention of any
reader to map Of the state of Mime
sofa and ask him to indulge his humor
by contrasting the position of Hastings
ring geographical factions of the
state of Minnesota.
He will find on that map that these
two towns are both in the southern one
third of the state. They are d;start
from each other, north and south as the
crow flies, a little over thirty miles. The
center of the state on a meridian Of
longitude is not far from Brainerd. St
Paul and Minneapolis, Ano&a and Hast
ings are all of them punched within a
snort distance of each other about mil
way between Brainerd ana he iowa
boundary line. Not one OF them has the
slightest claim to represent, in any
particular, the northern section of the
state geographically. To do that you
would have to select some point above
Brainerd and Wadena and Brecken-
ridge. The extreme length Of the state
of Minnesota, north and south. not
counting the small point that projects
leyond the 10th PARALLEL Of latitude.
where 1t strikes the Lake Of the Woods
is from $40 to $50 miles. Anoka lies
IL,
Hastings is, therefore, about 275 miles
south of it. These are the measure
ments on which sober appeal is made to
the people 70 select Anoka in the In
terest of the north, rather than Hast
ings in the interest of the south. What
ever other considerations there may be
in favor of one or the other of these
points for the new hospital, we can
scarcely conceive of anything so RI
diculous as for a newspaper to spring
the geographical argument as a de-
cisive one between these two neigh
boring towns, both of them lying away
down in southern Minnesota, and to
ask its readers to take it seriously.

RHODES PAID UP.
jameson Raid Cost Him $25O,OOO In
Fines Alone.

LONDON, March 5.-The inquiry of the
parliamentary committee into the Transvaal
raid was resumed today. Col. Cecil Rhodes
continued his evidence, dwelling upon the
rel ons between Germany and the Trans
vaal, which, he believed. Indicated a mutual
attempt TO make a treaty. He added that
there was no revolutionary movement at
Johannesburg until every effort to secure
necessary reforms had failed.
Mr.. Chamberlain elected further testimony
as to the harshness of the Transvaal laws
toward the Uitlanders. Col. Rhodes gave in
stances prior to the movement OF 1895. when
serious conflicts were threatened in the
TransEaal adding that a similar outbreak
would recur if the Uitlanders do not get
their rights. Replying to question as to
whether he thought the present government
OF the Transvaal was dangerous to the peace
of South Africa, Col Rhodes said, dryly:
What do you think?" Further evidence
showed that Col. Rhodes personally paid the
fines of the members of the reform commit
ties Of Johannesburg, amounting to $3.50, 000
This completed the examination of Col
Rhodes.
Two Africander members of the parliament
of Cape Colony testified that the administra-
ton of Rhodesia was impossible by the inpe-
rial government, and that it must be con-
tinued In the hands of the British Chartered
South Africa company. Adjournment was
then taken until Tuesday

REVENUE BILLS.
Special Sess on Must Give Them Some
Attention.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The failure Of
President Cleveland to sign three appropria-
ton bills, the sundry civil, agricultural and
Indian and the Inability of congress to agree
upon the general deficiency Bill will entail
much unexpected work upon the extra session
of the new congress, and possibly may decay
the enactment of the tariff law The
regular appropriations for government serv-
ice and public works carried by all of these
bills except the deficiency, are for the fiscal
year beginning July l. so that to repair the
failure of the bills, it will be necessary that
they be enacted before that time, or that
resolutions be passed continuing for stated
time, the allowances for the current year.
1t is said today by the Republican house
leaders that they will not. if they can prevent
it, permit any questions of appropriations
which are likely to consume much time take
precedence over the consideration of the tar
if bill.
The failure of the deficiency bill will Grip
pie several branches Of the government serv-
ice unless early provision is made for them
and It seems the absolute paralysis Of the
customs service unless some bill is passed to
provide for its expenses about April 1. Cur
rent appropriations for collecting the customs
will be exhausted by April l. and to continue
the work an additional allowance of 81 $50 co.,
the amount carried for that purpose in the
deficiency bill, will be necessary.
