M'XENNA DOESN'T KNOW WHICH
Thinks He will DO Given the Secretary
ship of the Interior.


San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 5.-Judge
McKenna of the United States circuit
court last night authorized the statement
that he had been invited to accept a
position in the cabinet of President Nc
kinley and also that he had signifed his
acceptance.
He did not care to give for publication
the dispatch in which the tender Of q
position was made, nor did he wish to
make his response known. He cOnsid-
cred the kilograms confidential and per-
sonal. lie had expected the communi-
cation from Canton. He viii leave the
latter part Of the month for Washington
ready to enter upon his new duties imme-
diately after the inauguration.
Whether Judge Mckenna is to be at
torney- general or secretary of the interior
in the new administration is now known
only to the President-elect.
Yes" he said last night, II have re-
ceived q telegram from President-elect
Mckinley, pnotferin!g me place in the
cabinet. / have wired an acceptance"
AS secretary of the interior?"
Il do not know that. The telegram did
not state. 1t will be either that or at
torney-general. l am inclined to think.
however, that it viii be the interior, as
that place generally goes to Western
man, and further rs that secretaryship
was the principal topic in the discussion
in my interview with the President
elect"
This telegram and statement puts 10
rest all doubts as TO California being
represented in the cabinet. Those who
read between the lines of the dispatches
from Canton were convinced that the
question was not whether McNenna was
30 represent the West in the cabinet
but which position he would be given.

DON'T WANT HOPS IN BEER.
Brewers Say the Public Prefer Rice am
Matt.


Albany, N. Y, Feb 5.-The Pure
Beer bill introduced in the Legislature
by Senator Coggeshall was the subject
of q hearing given by the Senate COM
mittee on public health and the AS
sembly committee on excise.
One Of the brewers said that they were
in favor of any bill forbidding the use
of any unWholesome or deleterious mat
ter il beer. The CoggeshaH bill pro-
Aibited the use Of any other cereal ex-
cept barley. 1t could he proved, he
contended that beer made from part
rice and malt was not only superior but
also more expensive.
Another brewer said that the decrease
in the use Of hops was due to public de-
mand. People wanted beer sWeeter than
it was some years ago.
The committee will give another hear
ing
W. Fl. ZeItner of the Henry Heltner
Brewing company Of New York was the
first to favor the bill His company, he
said, made beer only from pure hops and
barley, and he declared that, despite the
statements of the gentlemen who had
spoken against the bill, he still believed
that glucose and other substitutes were
used in the manufacture of beer. He be-
lieved that age was the only CARTIER of
beer He said he had no objection to the
manufacture of beer from substitutes if
the people only knew what they were
buying. If brewers were obliged to
brand their packages and swear TO the
composition of their beer it would prove
a protection to The people.
G. II. Clark, representing the New
York Hop Growers association, said that
it had been stated that one pound of hops
was used for each barrel of beer, which
would represent 100000 bales OF hops
which was greatly in excess Of the crcp
grown in the country. If this were Sc
somebody must be using something else
than hops.
John Coleman of Buffalo, of the United
Trades council. said that the brewers
were opposed to the bill because it was
against their interests and in the inter
ests Of the workingmen. His association
recommended the passage of the bill

L!EuT.-GOV. JONES TIE MAN.
Practically Confirms the Report About
the senate Vacancy.

the senate vacancy.
Chicago, Ill, Feb. GA special from
Cleveland o., says: Lieut.. Gov Asa
". Jones of Youngstown, who it is adj
mitted will succeed Senator Sherman in
the United States Senate, has arrived
from Columbus where he has been in
conference with Gov Bushnell. Previ-
Gus 10 that he had been in Cincinnati
where he had been in conference with
Senator-elect Foraker
Gov Jones did not admit frankly that
he had been rendered the appointment of
senator. but said enough to confirm the
rUmors which have corrected his name
with that position, which means Mr..
Hanna will not be appointed senator to
succeed Sherman.
''On the subject of the GAINESVILLE agree
ment, Gov. Jones was silent. The Zanes-
vile agreement was made two years ago.
AS entered into it was that if Bushnell
and Jones should be reelected, Bushnell
was to be made senator and thus elevate
Jones to the gubernatorial chair.
Bushnell still has designs OF the SEN
ate, but fears that to resign now and
let Jones appoint him senator and thus
carry out the GAINESVILLE agreement would
cause dTssension among Republicans who
think Hanna is entitled to considera-
ton. This would hurt the chances Of
success of the state and the legislative
ticket next fall, so Jones is conciliated
with the vacancy in the Senate. Then,
according to the programme, Bushnell is
to be elected to the Senate"

JUDGE GOFF DECLINES.

Somebody Else to Repre-

New York, Feb Ga special dispatch
from Canton. o., to the Mail and Elk
press says
Judge Golf has written to Mai. Nc
Ikinley a letter received only this morn
ing couched in such terms as to warrant
the announcement that he will not be in
the cabinet His name must now be
erased from the cabinet slate.
THE withdrawal Of Judge Golf brings
up for reconsideration by the President
elect the whole question Of who shall
represent the South in the cabinet. 1t is
safe to say his mind is not made up on
this subject and that he will be greatly
relieved if Judge Golf, even at this late
day, could be induced to alter his decision
which it may be stated is not expressed

Mountain Observatories.

= lring the last few years a number Of
mountaia stations for meteorological pur-
poses have been established in various
parts of the world. Clement Wragge,
who was active in promoting the scheme
for such an observatory on Ben Nevis,
the highest peak in Great Britain. is en-
deavoring to secure similar institution
for the summit of Mount Wellington,
near Hobart, in Tasnania. This post IS
only 1920 feet high, or $50 feet lower
than that of Ben Nevis. But Mr..
Wragge hopes eventually to see other
observatories on such heights in Aus
tralia as Mount Cork, which has an ele,,
vation of $4,000 feet. Lord Kelvin and
DR. Buchan, the distinguished Scottish
meteorologist, have expressed hearty ap-
proval of the idea.
