tion was held today to agree on a candidate
for the cabinet to recommend to President
elect Mckinley but adjourned until Monday
as the delegation was not generally pres
ent. Mr.. Johnson, after the conference, said
that the man eminently fitted for the place
was Horace Davis. He was eX-president OF
the California State university. Mr.. John
son, however. feared that other candidates
might come forward and the contest become
so bitter as to lose the state the honor
sought. The delegation would not urge the
appointment of Mr.. Davis to any particular
position, he said, but would prefer the De-
partment of the Interior.

1T WAS HIS SECOND ATTEMPT
Editor McCullagh SWALLOWED a Large
Dose Of Digitalis Last Week,
DR.. C. H. HUGHES STARTLING TESTIMONY
Deceased Journalist Reported to Have
stated IL WAS Time for II Man
to Die when He Hnd Out
lived His Usefulness.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1.-The inquest on the
body of Mr. ]. b. McCulagh, editor of the
Globe Democrat, whose remains were found
under his bedroom window yesterday morn
ing, began today. 1t developed the startling
fact through the testimony of DR.. c. II.
Hughes, Mr.. McCullaghs physician, that the
deceased made what was believed at the
time to be an attempt at suicide on De-
cember % last. On that day Dr. hughes
testified he called on Mr.. McCullagh and
left with him a four-ounce bottle contain
ing two ounces of digitalis, a powerful heart
tonic, an overdose of which would have the
effect of paralyzing the action of the heart.
The same night MIR. McCullagh took one
ounce of the medicine, enough to have caused
death, but which, owing to the weak con-
dition of his stomach, was Immediately
elected. When DR.. Hughes called the
next morning he was greatly alarmed, and
asked Mr.. McCullagh If he had taken that
amount, an evasive answer being given.
DR.. Hughes testified that he was satisfied
that Mr.. McCullagh had not taken the medi-
cine by mistake. The physician at once
connected the startling circumstances with
conversation had with Mr.. McCullagn
shortly before in which the latter spoke
OF the death of Abraham Lincoln, saying
that he died at good time, ana tnat Wnen
any man outlived his usefulness it was
time for him to go. DR.. Hughes then tes-
titled as to Mr.. McCullagh's strange and
evasive manner on the day preceding his
death, and concluded his testimony with
the positive statement that his impression
was that the case was one of suicide.
Louis C. Bohle, the closest personal
friend of the deceased, was also to have
testified, but as he failed to appear the
examination was continued until tomorrow
morning.
Today Mrs. Mckee, daughter of the
original proprietor of the Globe-Democrat.
accompanied by friend went out to Belle
fontane cemetery and selected a location
for the grave of the deceased, which will
be in the Mckee family lot
Mr.. William Berry Armstrong, a nephew
of the deceased. arrived from Chicago this
morning, and Mrs. Rachel Sauter, is eX-
pected to arrive from Brooklyn, N. Y,
Saturday.
mass meeting of newspaper men will
be held tomorrow for the purpose of taking
appropriate action on the death of Mr.. Nc
Cullagh.
The funeral tomorrow afternoon will be
very simple. The eight active pall-bearers
have been selected from various depart
ments of the Globe7Democrat. The list
of honorary pall-bearers has not been made
out yet but 1t will consist of leading cti-
zens of st. Louis, principally representing
