Endorsement uf Cabinet.
He said that II the result OF the re-
cent election was an endorsement Of his
administration, it was no less IN en-
dorsement Of the men who had stood by
him In the time of utress and neces-
sity. The credit for success, he said,
lay with the heads o. his various de-
partments and he should shrink from
entering upon another four years Of
office unless he could be assured that
he would have with him n majority at
least OF the men who form his present
official household. He said that in ask
Ing them to remain with him there
was scarcely one who could do SO
without some sacrifice either Of money,
leisure or personal in:llnatlon. At the
same time he said he should feel hap
pier II all Of them could crafty his
| wish.
Secretary Hay was the first to re-
snond-he said that for his part he
deeply appreciated the complimentary
references made by his chief and that
he thought there was not member OF
the cabinet who would sever such
pleasant official relations without re-
gret. and even then only In case OF the
most urgent reasons for retirement.
Root Only Absent Member.
Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitchcock,
Wilson, Attorney General Griggs
and Postmaster General Smith each
spoke in turn and In much the same
vein. Secretary Root was the only alb
sent member from the meeting. having
left for Cuba to look over military of-
fairs there, and at the same time, tc
try to recuperate from his long and
serious Illness. The list of responses
therefore, was all but complete. 1t Is
known that Secretary Root Is in much
the same position as Attorney Genera
Griggs, holding his position at consid.
cradle sacrifice. but willing at the same
time, to sacrifice good deal to comply
with the expressed wish of the Presl.

MCKINLEY DESIRES HIS
CABINET TO REMAIN.
His Wishes Made Known BY an Extended
Speech at the Cabinet Meeting.
Responses by the Members.
THEY NAV ALL DECIDE TO STAY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 49,,
President Mckinley to-day announced
clearly and forcefully to the members
NJ his cabinet his desire that they
should all remain with him during the
four years Of his coming admlnlstra-
tIon. His wishes were made known in
an extended speech at the cabinet
meeting In the white house to-day. Re-
sponses were made by all Of the men,
b.rs present, and, while there were no
definite pledges from any OF them that
they would accept tho portfolios thus
rendered them afresh there was on the
other hand no definite declinatlon.
To-day's proceedings set forth tie
wishes Of the President in the matter
and relieves the members Of the cabi-
net Of the customary obligation Of
rendering their designations at the end
Of the term, unless they have made an
lrevocable decision that 1t will be i'm
possible for them to continue In office.
Il also sets at rest all speculation and
slate making Of the country's political
prophets. for It is understood generally
that there is but one doubtful factor in
the homogenity of the political cabinet.
That factor is Attorney General
Grlgss, as he holds his present position
at a. great financial sacrifice. Still, Mr..
Grlggs replied In terms of warm appre
cia;on to the complimentary remarks
Of the President, and voiced no intcn-
ton Of retiring from his present posi-
tlon
Not First Expression of Pleasure.
This Is not the first time that the
President has expressed to the members
Of his cabinet his pleasure at the sup
port they had given him. He said as
much In general way at the last cab
lltt meeting. when the members, sew
e.al OF whom had been scattered by the
political campaign, got together for the
first time and congratulated him upon
The outcome Of the election. To-day the
President had evidently prepared for
the occasion and In his address re-
Viewed the work of the administration
In the past four years-four OF the
most exciting years the country has
known in three decades. It was. rather
surprise even to the cabinet men,
oers themselves to note how accurately
the President had fixed in his memory
the sequence OF events and how calmly
he reinqulshed the personal credit for
successful strokes Of policy or pru-
dence and attributed the honor to the
members OF his official family in whose

LONDON, Nov. 14.-The London

the United States meet with disappro-
val, the former because Count Won Wai-

The Daily Chronicle comments
strongly upon the American attitude an
"a feeble compromise which 1t 10 inn

The Morning Post says:
"It would be unreasonable for the
United States to break up the concert
because they do not desire indemnity.

"If, however, the United States have
in view some new combination Of pow
crs, it would be necessary for Great
Britain and Germany to agree upon q
common policy TO be pursued in the alb
sence Of general agreement"
The Standard, which dlsmisses the
subject with mere reference, says:
American opinion on tho Chinese
problem Is too uncertain to be consider
ed seriously"
DR.. Morrison, wiring to the Times on

1t will be impossible to fulfill while the

Death of Bishop Healy.

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. ). Rt. Rev. James
Augustine Healy, Bishop Of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Maine, died at his epis-
copal residence on Congress street at l
O'Clock this afternoon: Bishop Healy re-
turned from Canada Friday night. where
he had been on episcopal business, and
seemed to be in his usual health, though
for many years he had been subject to fre-
quent attacks of acute Indigestion. Satur-
day he went to Biddeford on ecclesiastical
affairs, returning home about O'Clock. At
9o,clock he complained of indigestion and
suffered for about two hours, finally getting
relief through the attendance of Drs. Baker
and McDonough. He slept well during the
night and tried to get up this morning to
say mass, but was unable to do so. The de-
preston returned, from which he was tenn
porarily relieved, but at u O. clock he began
to grow. weaker. so much SO that at 1870 he
called Tor Father O'Brien, rector of the
Cathedral parish, who administered the last
sacrament.
