Kinley's Cabinet Appointments
SOME DISCUSSION OVER CAGES NAME.
Mark Hanna Takes the Oath ms sher-
mans successor-Consider
Work Cut Out for the
Extra Session.

Washington, March 9. - President
Mckinley Friday sent to the senate the
following nominations:
John Sherman, of Ohio, to be secretary Of
state.
Lyman J. Gage. of Illinois, to be secretary
of the treasury.
Russell A. Alger. of Michigan. to he Sec
Joseph McKenna. of California, to be at
torney-general.
James A. Gary. of Maryland. to be post
maSter-generai.
John D. Long, of Massachusetts,. to be
secretary of the navy.
Cornelius NJ. Bliss. of New York, to be
secretary of the interior.
James Wilson, Of Iowa, to be secretary
Of agriculture.
The senate confirmed Mr.. Sherman
as secretary of state and took recess.
The other cabinet nominations were
referred to the proper committees, and
they at once took them under consider
alton. The usual custom of the SEN
ate is to confirm any man who has been
member of the senate, and for this
reason Mr.. Sherman's nomination was
Immediately acted on. No objection
was made to the nomination of any of
the members of the cabinet, but they
were referred to committees to pay a
compliment to Mr.. Sherman. The
nominations were referred as follows:
Mr.. Gage and Mr.. Bliss to the finance
committee, Mr.. Alger to the committee
on military affairs, Mr.. McKenna to the
judiciary. Mr.. Gage 10 post office and
post roads, Mr.. Long to naval affairs
and Mr.. Wilson to agriculture.
Cages Name Causes Discussion,
The senate then, without going out of
executive session, took recess until
two o'clock. The first nomination taken
up as soon as the senate reconvened at
two o'clock was that Of Mr.. Gage to the
secretaryship of the treasury. This
nomination caused considerable discus
sion, the silver men of the senate talk
ing occasion to point out the position
of Mr. Gage on the financial question.
Silver senators who did the talking
said they did not intend to interpose
any objection to the confirmation, but
they wanted to make it plain that while
there were pledges made by the new
administration for bimetallism, the new
secretary, they said, was q gold man.
The other nominations were confirmed
without debate.

MINE EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Many Injured in
Arkanann

Two Men Killed nnd Many Injured in
Arkansns.
Huntington, ARK, March 6. = Two
miners were killed and about 80 others
seriously injured in an explosion which
occurred in mine No. A OF the Kansas
and Texas Coal company at this place
Many of the men were married, and
their wives and children gathered at the
entrance of the shaft few minutes
after the explosion and the excitement
was intense and the scene was awful.
One by one the more seriously injured
were brought out and taken to their
homes in hacks or wagons. Different
stories are advanced for the cause of
the explosion. Superintendent Vail
says lie believes that key of powder
was exploded by carelessness, but the
general opinion among the miners is
that it was caused by windy shot fir
ing the gus and powder smoke.

THE SENATE SESSION.
Floral Tributes Numerous - Mark
llama Takes the Oath,

FAoral Tributes Numerous - Mark
Hanna Takes the Oath.
Washington, March 6.-The United
States senate, being a perpetual body,
not expiring with the expiration of
congress, like the house of representa-
tires, was in session Friday for 2A
hours. There was a very large audi
ence present to witness this opening of
the Fifty-fifth congress, and the re-
publican side of the chamber was made
bright and full of perfume with large
and exquisite floral gifts in honor Of
several of the new senator's, and of one
of the old ones. Senator Quay (rep.,
Pa.) was thus remembered and favored
by "tbe bourgeoise and the men in
blouses," as the card accompanying the
structure of flowers read. His COL
league, Senator Penrose, had an elab-
crate, but less pretentious, tribute of
the same kind from '''the labor union"
Hanna becomes Senator.
Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio, having ap-
pointed Mr.. Hanna to succeed Senator
sherman, now secretary of state, Mr..
Hanna took the oath of office, after
plaudits from the galleries, and now
the state OF Ohio has two republican
senators, both of them new to that
body-Senators Foraker and Hanna.
The craftsmanship of the committee on
foreign relations, SO long held by Mr.,
Sherman, was conferred temporarily
on Senator Davis (rep., AIinn.). The
Only other occurrence of note in the
oLen session of the senate was the re-
turn of Senator Wolcott (rep., Col.)
from his recent pilgrimage to Europe
in furtherance of the project for an
international monetary conference. He
was welcomed back most heartily by his
fellow senator's At ten minutes before

Pettigrew, the silver senators, voted in
favor of it. All the leaders of the
Democratic party were opposed, with
the exception of Morgan, Pettus, Raw
Inns and Turpie.
The exact form of the vote taken up
on the question of arbitration was this:
DO you favor the adoption of gen
eral arbitration treaty with Great Brit
ain?'
Among the Republicans found in the
negative here were Elkins, Frey and
Baker, going with Corkrell, Mills Nor
gan and Murphy among the leaders of
the Democrats. The greater lights in
the Republican party, who leaned to-
ward an affirmative view were Allison,
Foraker, Hale, Hanna, Hawley, Nor
rill and Hear. But many of the sena-
tors who wished to be recorded in the
affirmative qualified their declarations
by conditions and limitations as to ex-
actly what such a treaty should COM
prise and what it's exact conditions
shold be-
Upon the Cuban question these two
propositions were submitted to mem
bers of the house of representatives.:
DO you favor the joint resolution pass
ed by the senate at the extra session
declaring that a state of war exists in
Cuba?"
DO you favor a resolution acknowl-
edging the independence of Cuba?"
The first proposition seemed to meet
with the views of the greater portion
of the known friends of the insurgents,
although the Republicans were far be-
hind the Democrats in members.
Among those on the Republican roll
who voted for the proposition were
Belknap Boutelle, Danford, Daven-
port, Dorr Grow, Henry of Indiana,
Robbins, Stevens and Overstreet. All
the Democratic leaders favored it.
Such men as Bailey, Benton, Bland,
Ermentrout and Taylor, of Alabama,
being found amorg the positive friends
of belligerency for the gallant patrols
of Spain's beleaguered oo,ony. Friends
of Cuba appeared to be bit shy of the
bold suggestion of Cuban independence
probably for the reason that the first
proposition having passed the senate,
affords the means of more direct action,
and through the fear that the congress
SIGNAL recognition of Cuba's. independ-
ence might lead to complications with
Spain, which the other move would
avoid.

in the armory. They based their hopes in
having game in spite of the governors edict
upon state law providing that the control,
direction and management of all state armor-
les shall rest with the superior officers in
command in each locality. Col. McReeve be-
ing the superior officer at this post, they
claim that he had full control of the mat
ter, and he had issued no instructions
to the effect that indoor base ball should not
be played. the boys proceeded with prepara-
tons for their game. A little warming-up
practice had been enjoyed and a hot game
was expected, when the colonel put in an
appearance, and stated most emphatically
that the game should not be permitted in
view Of the orders issued by the governor.
That settled it, and the anticipation of the
boys for a hot game dashed to the
ground There was avoiding the orders
of the colonel of the regiment, and of the
commandment chief OF the militia. There
considerable feeling engendered over
the matter, but it is understood that Col.
Reeve will take the matter up with the
governor with the view, it is said, of ascer-
tanning whether or not the governor has not
slightly overstepped his authority. If the
judge advocate says the governors position
is correct there will be no more indoor base
ball in the armories of the Minnesota militia.

CONGRESS PoLLED.
Questions Asked Regarding Curren-
cy, Cubn and Hawaii

NEW YORK, Dec. 8-A special to
the Journal and Advertiser from Wash
ington, d. c., says: reporter has
made poll of congress upon the most
vital questions likely to- come before
that body at this SESSION, The follow
ing proposition was submitted to the
members of the house: ii
DO you favor the retirement Of
greenbacks ?" Il
The surprise in TIE vote on this pro-
position was in the fact that such Re
puhlicans as Belknap DOlliver. OdelI,
Henderson, Mesick, Bruce and Hopkins
were found in the Opposition Not a
single Populist, of course, favored the
proposition, while BTenner, of Ohio, and
Kitchen were the Bnly Democrats in
its favor. The following propositions
were submitted to the senate:
Can any radical financial legislation
involving the retirement. of the green
backs, the limitation of fhe legal ten
der quality of silver, or the issuing of
gold bonds for the retirement of green
backs, pass the senate?'~
There was practically unanimous
sentiment that nothing can be done
On this poll there was not an afFirma-
he majority and the doubt expressed
regative. To the senate upon the mat
.er of annexation this PROF osiEon was
submitted:
DO you favor the annexation Of
Tawaii?'
Not a single straight Republic an was
found in opposition, and Cannon ano

TO PRESERVE STATUS QUO.
DEGREES viii Re Issued by the EN-
perOr of Austria.

VIENNA, Dec. SIT is expected
that Emperor Francis Joseph will
shortly issue DEGREES prolonging for i
year the status quo between Austria
and Hungary, regarding the sharing
of imperial expenditure, budgetary
and other essential matters. The gov
eminent is continuing the negotiations
for a settlement of the language ques-
ton Owing to fears for the safety
for the German members the meeting
of the Bohemian diet was postponed.
If this course is adopted by the en-
peror it will be due solely to the hope
lessness of all attempts at present to
reconcile the hostile parties in the
reichsrath. Baron Gautsch the
premier, when notifying the German
leaders as to the situation today, de-
clared that the government had de-
termined to obtain an imperial ordi-
nance in order to secure a prolonga-
ton of the compromise. He expressed
the hope that, in a few weeks time
when party spirit had Gained, it
might yet be possible to effect an adj
justment between the conflicting fac
tons. 1t is not likely that the reichs-
rath will reassemble for at least three
months
