THE CABINET CONFIRMED.

THE CABINET CONFIRMED.
Washington. March 5.-The presiden
today sent the following nominations t
the senate
Secretary OF ~state-John Sherman O.
Ohio.
Secretary of the treasury-Lyman J
Gage OF Illinois.
Secretary of war-Russell A.. AIger OF
Michigan.
Attorney general-Joseph McKenna OF
California.
Postmaster general-James A.. Gary
Of Maryland.
Secretary OF the navy-John d. Lone
Of Massachusetts.
Secretary OF the interior-Cornelius N.
Bliss Of New York.
Secretary OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. VIII,
son Of Iowa.
The senate confirmed Mr.. Sherman as
secretary OF state and took a recess. The
other cabinet nominations were referred
TO the proper committees, and they at
once took them under consideration.
The usual custom of the senate is to con-
firm any man who has beer a member
Of the senate, and for this reason Mr.
Sherman's nomination was Immediately
confirmed.
The nomination taken up as soon as
the senate r%econvened at 2 o'clock was
that of Mr.. Gage. This nomination oc-
casioned considerable discussion, the
silver men OF the senate taking occasion
to point out the position Of Mr.. Gage on
the financial question. Silver men who
did the talking said they did not intend
to interpose any objection to the confir-
nation, but they wanted to make il
plain that while there were pledges by
the new administration for bi-metall-
ism, the new secretary was u gold man,
Nothing was said on the democratic
concerning the cabinet opposition.
Senator Teller. silver republican, made
the principal speech. After discussing
the nomination OF Mr.. Gage for some
time he took up that of Mr.. Bliss to be
secretary OF the interior.
He said he considered this a most I'M
fortunate selection. Mr.. Bliss was an
estimable man and a man who would
have filled other positions with credit,
but he was entirely untitled for secretary
OF the interior. This vas a position
which was Of vast Importance.
More cases were decided Involving
property rights in the secretary OF the
interiors Office than were decided by the
United States supreme court. They were
the most part legal questions and re-
CURED a knowledge of the law. Mr..
Bliss was moi u lawyer but a banker and
a business man who knew nothing of
the many questions which were to come
before him as secretary Of the interior.
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts paid
a high tribute to Mr.. Bliss and pointed
out hal many OF the questions pointed
out by the secretary Of the interior were
prepared by law clerks and no matter
how good a lawyer a man might be he
could not investigate all the matters
that came before him and for that reason
a law force had been provided To assist
the secretary in his work. He said that
the business ability OF Mr.. Bliss was un-
questioned. After a little more talk all
the nominations were confirmed with
out objection.
