struck at the lalboring classes; while

to reduce their own salaries they would
cut down those OF clerks. The bill as

MCKINLEY SAYS NO.
Horace Davis WIN Not be in the
Cabinet.

Horace Davis VIII Not be in the
CLEN ELAND, Ohio, Jan. 15.-It is stat
ed tonight on good authority that Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley has refused to con-
slider the name of Horace Davis of Cali
fornia for the Secretaryship of the In
terror. The friends of the Californian
who called upon Major Mckinley are
said to have received no encouragement,
and it is said they tonight decided that
the task was n hopeless one.
CANTON, Ohio, Jan. 1J.-PreSident-elect
Mckinley says he will know more about
the Pacific Coast member of the Cabinet
in a few days. He gives a strong init
nation that no one has yet been decided
upon, Notwithstanding reports to the con-
trary- The Major said this evening he
had received the memorial of Chairman
Mclaughlin of the State Central Com
mittee advocating CaIifornia's claims TO
a Cabinet position without indorsing the
claims of any particular candidate. He
has also seen the telegraphic account in
the newspapers of the approval given
this action by the legislative caucus.
1t is evident that the course of the
State Central Committee and of the Re
publican Senators and Assemblymen is
far more pleasing to Major Mckinley
than the action of the Congressional del
egation at Washington. Mark Hanna's
office in Cleveland is filled with protests
against Davis, while the Major has re-
ceived many letters. Davis is hardly a
probability for the Cabinet.

FOR A MONETARY CONFERENCE
The Republican Caucus Does Not
Change the Bill.

Change the Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 15.-The adj
journed Republican Senatorial caucus to-
day did not result in any change in the
bill for an international biVetallic con-
ference as drafted. 1t was stated there
had been some interchange of views with
Democratic Senators, some of whom eX-
pressed the opinion that the word ''un-
limited" as well as the word Free
should be used in describing the mintage
which such conference as is proposed
would be called to secure, but the caucus
decided not to make the addition. 1t was
stated the language employed was pre-
ciSely the language used in the legislation
providing for four previous conferences.
Senator Chandler therefore was author
lied to introduce the bill prepared by
the caucus committee, which he probably
will do on Monday as Senator Wolcott's
representative.
Following is the exact wording of the
bill as agreed upon by the Republicans:
Whenever, after March 4, 1897, the
President of the United States shall be
represented at any international confer
ence called by the United States or any
other country, with view to securing by
agreement a hXity of value
between gold and silver as money by
means of a common ratio between those
metals with free mintage at such a ratio,
he is hereby authorized to appoint five or
more commissioners to such international
and for compensation of said
and for all reasonable eX-
penSeS connected Herewith, to be ap-
proved by the Secretary of State, includ-
ing the proportion to be paid by the Unit
ed States of the joint expenses of any
such conference, the sum of 100000 or so
much thereof as may be necessary, is
hereby appropriated.

WORKING TO BEAT MITCHELL
The Oregon Senatorial Election VIII
Probably Go Over.

SALEM, ore, Jan. 1.-THE fifth day OF
the session OF the Legislature opened
with no quorum in the House. 80 mem
bers only answering the roll call. Som
ers offered a resolution TO the effect that
as certain members had prevented a quo
rum without giving a reason for their
absence. a committee of three be ap-
pointed to confer with absentees and as
certain the reason for their refusal 70
come and constitute quorum.
The chair ruled the motion out OF order.
SOmers then put the motion to the House
and declared il carried. He then de-
manded that the clerk put the motion
on record. Brown asked for a report
from the temporary sergeant-at-arms in
the matter of bringing in the absenteeS.
The Sergeant-at-armS reported that he
had seen all the absenteeS, but three, and
had notified them to appear. Bridges
moved the report be entered. The Speak
er decided the motion was out of order.
The House spent the entire afternoon
in making dilatory motions and adjourn
ed until tomorrow. Many members left
the Capital today to spend Sunday, and
as they will not return until Monday af-
ii is highly probable that the Or
SaniZation of the House will not occur
before Tuesday, which will again delay
the vote for United States Senator one
week, or until February I'd.
The Mitchell men express confidence in
their ability to keep their forces in line
until a vote is taken, while the opposi-
ton is just as confident that they will
bring about the defeat of Senator Mitch
ELL for reelection.

WAR TO THE END.
Nothing short OF Absolute Independ

Nothing short OF Absolute Independ-
ence VIII Pacify the Cubans.
NEW YORK. Jan. 13.-A Washington
dispatch TO the Sun says: Senior Quesa-
da, the charge faffaires of the Cuban Le-
cation, states that the persistent reports
that General Gomez is making proposals
for the settlement of the war is just as
untrue as the dispatches from Madrid
representing that the offer of the medt-
alton by the United States has been ac-
cepted.
Senior Quesada said: There is no truth
in any of those assertions They are sent
out merely as a part of the Spanish pol
icy TO delay the inevitable outcome of the
war. There is not Cuban on the isl
and, nor in this country, who does not
know that anything less than absolute
independence for Cuba means continu-
alton of the ruinOuS rule which has op-
posed it's people and which has caused
this war, it did the one which pre-
ceded il.
Maxine Gomez is the last man in the
world to be a suppliant for Spanish mer-
cy. He is a soldier without fear and is
inspired with the most devout confidence
in the success of the cause he is so val
liant in uphOlding. Even now, while the
Spanish are filling the newspapers with
these allegations about the desire for
peace on other terms than absolute in
dependence, he is having read TO his army
and TO the commands of other leaders

pany Judge Morris caused temporary
restraining order 70 issue and Will hear
the motion January 18th.
The petition names the Woolson Spice
Company and the American Sugar Re
filming Company as defendants, and states
that the stock of the Woolson Spice Com
pany is valued at 500, 900 Kuhn and the
Arbuckle Brothers own one share Jointly
and the latter own 90 shares individually.
1T is alleged that the American Sugar Re
filming Company controls the price of
shares in the United States; that the Ar
buckles have been in competition with
the Woolson Company in the coffee bust
ness; that they sold sugar bought in the
so-called trust.
1t is further stated that last year the
ArbuckIes started a sugar refinery in
Brooklyn; that thereupon the trust went
into the coffee business, purchased all
but 81 shares of the WOOlSon Spice Com
pany and announced that il would oper-
ate the Woolson plant in the sole inter-
est of the American Sugar Refining Com

1t is alleged that the trust gave out
that the deal was made to crush the Ar
buckles, and that when that was accom-
plished the WoolsOn stock would go back
to the original holders: that the WoolSon
directors have resigned, leaving no board
to appeal to; that in the face of the ris-

WASHINGTON, d. G, Jan. 14.-Senor
Gonzales Quesada, the head of the Gu

this morning that story had been pub

and Minister De LONE had drawn up art
fcIes to end the Cuban war on the lines
proposed by General Gomez. Senior Que

action had been taken or could be ap-
proved by the Cubans. He said the story
was absolutely false, as General Gomez
had never proposed any reform whatever.
nor was there a Cuban in the island that
would accept anything but absolute indie
pendence.
To make his denial stronger, Senior Que
sada quoted from the decree issued by
General Gomez some time ago, which is
now law, and in which he said that any
one in Cuba bringing overtures of peace
TO be condemned as a traitor and would
based on anything bat independence was

that any treaty Of peace with Spain
