Boston to Aid Miners.

Boston. September 15.-The mass meet
ing in Faneuil hall tonight under the
auspices of the Central Labor union, to
consider the question of relief for the
miners who are out on strike, and also
the question of government by injunc-
ton" was very successful, the hall being
crowded to the doors and the applause
vigorous. Much interest was felt in the
remarks of Mayor Quincy and George
Fred Williams, who were the principal
speakers. Both were very plain spoken
in their condemnation of the exercise OF
the injunction as a means of preventing
the gathering of men trying to better
their condition. Several subscriptions to
the miners relief fund were announced,
but the amount raised WAS not stated.

Strong Possibility for Secretary
of A0rcUIfUre

CLEVELAND, OHIO, Jan. 20.-Though
Nj. a. Hanna of the Republican commit
tee came here this afternoon to discuss
politics. he had a good deal to say about
other matters, and conferred with Ma ior
Mckinley on many men and measures of
general interest. Mr.. Hanna is going to

to toast. He expects during his visit TO

sition.
The correspondent of the United Asso-
ciated Presses is inf ormed upon high au-
thorlty tonight the President-elect has
not chosen his Secretary of the Treasury
and the position is still out. Edwin Con-
ger of Iowa, former mem ber Of Congress,
and Minister TO Brazil under the Harrison
administration, when he called on the
President-eiect, said Iowa would like to
have Cabinet position, and the appoint
meut of James Wilson to be Secretary of
Agriculture is probable. Mr.. Wilson is q
practical farmer, and owns and manages
several fine and profitable farms. He is
one OF the foremost educators in the
science of agriculture in the country, and
has charge OF the experiment station at
Iowa Agricultural College. He was once
in Congress, and has held other promi-
nent positions.

IN THE UPPER HOUSE.
Measures Passed Upon by Committees of
the Senate.

Measures Passed Upon by Committees of
the Senate.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 20.-Two
radical departures from the customs Of the
past were decided upon at the caucus of
the Republican Senators this afternoon.
They considered the matter of nomina-
tions for library trustees, five OF whom are
to be voted for by the Legislature on Feb
ruary 3. 1t was decided to ask the Assem-
bly, to meet for the purpose OF making
nominations on Monday next. During
tue discussion of candidates it was de-
cided that each should be pledged to ap-
point none but Republicans to positions
IN the State Library. from the librarian
down.
Then came the matter of creating a
new standing committee, to be known
as the San Francisco delegation. Such
committee has been regular part
of the Assembly organization, but has not
heretofore been officially recognized by
the Senate. 1t was decided to create such
a committee with power to appoint
clerk. All bills relating to San Fra ncisco
affairs will be referred to this committee.
State Printer Johnston appeared before
the Senate Finance Com mittee and made
so able an argument in behalf of the es-
tab llshment under his charge that by an
almost unanimous vote the committee de-
cided to report in favor OF $4,000 appro-
priation for the State printing Office. The
measure as it passed the Assembly pro-
vides for but $30, 900, although the Assem-
bly, Committee reported in favor OF $751;
600. The committee also reported favor
ably the bill appropriatlng $4,000 for
California exhibit at the Guatemala ex-
hibition, and similar measure for the
same amount in connection with the
Nashville exposition.
Braunhart's bill in reference to arbitrary
assessments was acted upon favorably by
the dietary Committee to-day.
At the session of the County Govern
ment Committee this AFTERNOON the po-
lice pension bill, designed to permit of
the retirement of Chief Crowley, received
favorable action. Sergeant Birdsall ap-
peared on behalf of tbs Police Depart
ment. and as an argument in support of
the measure suggested that its passage
would create a number of vacancies, the
filling of some of which would be at the
disposal of mem bers of the committee.
His tempting generosity was declined
with thanks. The same committee agreed
to report favorably the bill asked for by
the citizens. which provided tnat all work
for State buildings should be advertised
for separately instead of the building as
whole. The original cumbersome bill was
referred to Senator Stratton, who drafted
a short and comprehensive measure of
about twenty lines, covering the whole
subject.

BULLA,s Il ILWAY BILL.
introduced on Behalf of the Los An3etes
Consolidated COnspGnY.

introduced on Behaif of the Los Angeles
Consolidated Company.
SACRAMENTO, CAL. Jan. 20.-With
view toward enhancing the value and
thereby facilitating the sale of the street.
railway properties owned and controlled
by the Los Angeles Consolidated Railway
Company of Los Angeles, Senator Bulla
introduced an amendment 10 the Civil
Code which prohibits two lines OF street.
railways operated under different man
agements from occupying the same street,
streets or tracks for more than five blocks.
The present lazy reads ''five consecutive
blocks" and this gives competing rail-
way the privilege of using the tracks OF
another company for any distance. so long
as no more than five consecutive blocks
are utilized on any portion of the road.
Senator Bulla explained that the Los
Angeles Consolidated Railway Company
recently had desirable offer for the pur-
chase of all its properties from an African
syndicate, and that the existence OF the
law which he is seeking to amend pre-
vented the sale.
1t was pointed out by one of the San
Francisco delegation that the adoption of
this amendment, whatever its benefit to
Los Angeles might be, would be very
desirable protective measure for the
Market-street Railway Company of San
Francisco

with admiration; spoke of her dignity and
sweet womanliness and-of her courage to

Ito do the right, the Major said,

with feeling: Judge, as the time ap-
proaches l feel more and more the great
ness and solemn1ty of my responsibilities.

"Hesitating little, he continued: The
distress which is in this great land at the
pre- sent time makes my heart ache. May
GOD give me the grace and power to con-
tribute to it's relief.'
"Pausing while he continued: The
republicans believe in our party We
know that it is sincere. Il must be more.
1t must be wise. We are convinced its
policies are best. Ii we fail it will be Just
that the party be pushed aside for bet
ter. But 1 cannot believe that we shall
fail -
Judge McKenna told striking story
concerning Major McHinley's mother, as
follows:
"At 5 o'clock the Major and Mrs. Nc
Kinley and myself took short ride and
then called on his mother she is Well
preserved old lady, gentle in manner, in
tellieent, interested in everything. She
is of that strong, reverentiaI and religious
nature that refers the things OF the
earth to the disposition of the Divine
Power and it is easy TO see from whom
the Major derives the quality of devotion
to the duty of the hour which has made
him what he is
There were other visitors there. Some
one spoke of the Major as President.
"'Not yet,' his mother said; in the
providence of God on the 4th of March we
hope"
Judge McKenna told these stories illus
trating the devotional side of the great
man who led the Republican hosts to VIC
tory and of Major McKinley's venerable
mother with evident pleasure. OF his own
attitude Judge McKenna had only one
more remark to make and this came out
in response to a question.
Il was not candidate for a Cabinet
position when 1 went to Canton" he said,
nor am I candidate for such a position
now"

take, If there was any," he said, 'and it
should not try to SHIFT the burden of the
blame on the shoulders of the chief clerk"
Assemblymen Coombs, Cutter and Dib-
bic had an extended conference late to-
night in the Assembly chamber on the
matter. Mr.. Dibble declined to talk
about the affair." and said that the ques-
tion of Duckworth's resignation would
come up the first thing i'll the morning.
The Democratic minority had caucus
tonight and decided to stand in with
eleven Republican friends of Mr.. Duck
worth to allow him to speak in his de-
tense tomorrow. They hope that by so
doing they will stir the scandal from its
lowest depths and make political capital
out of it. They hope, also, that Mr.. DUCK
worth will say bitter things and will read
a list of Assemblymen at whose request
he made appointments on the temporary
roll.
The opinion of more conservative mem-
bers is that if Mr.. Duckworth should at
tempt TO drag others down with him, his
political career will be ended. He will be
afforded every opportunity of making a
defense SO far as his part in the appoint
ments is concerned, but if he prefers to
show his teeth, they say he will bite only

THE CABINET VACANCIES.
New York Pilgrim Tres to Impress Nc
Kniey With the Importance of Repre-
senfuioH From That State.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 2o.-Edward
LauterDach arrived in this city from
Canton, Ohio, to-day. He told reporter
for the United Associated Presses that
his trip to Canton was for the purpose of
impressing upon Mr.. Mckinley the i'm
portance of appointing as member of
his Cabinet man representing the pre-
vaiing sentiment of the Republican party
in this State.
:" went" continued Mr.. Lauterbach,
"as the representative of Mr.. Platt and
the Republican managers of the Iegisla-
ture. The names | suggested for either of
the three places in the Cabinet which
have not as yet been announced as filled
namely navy, postmaster-gene eralship and
Attorney-General, were ]. Soat Fassett
of Etmira, S. E. Payne of Auburn, and
Stuart L. Woodford OF BROOKLYN"
Mr.. Lauterbach said he had quite
lengthy chat with the President-elect, and
came away with the impression that Mr..
Mckinley was favorably inclined toward
recognizing the claims of the regular
Republicans of New York State.
