While interest is focused on New York
tAe from that state looks on
with complacency, the members appar-
entity enjoying the co1nmotion. The sit
uatlon in New York may be described in
a paragraph: The mass of delegates are
Tor the nomination Of Roosevelt for vice
president; Senator Plat is pledged to
Governor Roosevelt to be against his
nomination and will not break the pledge
unless the governor gives his consent,
This much is known-if the convention
names Governor Roosevelt for vice presi-
dent ne will not decline. He as en-
phatically said that he would not accept
If nominated, but it is known on the best
OF authority that he will - decline.
Nevertheless his determination to protest
against the nomination until the last
minute is unchanged. While he admit
ted today that the situation looked as if
he would be forced into a nomination, he
was hoping that such would not be the
case and was using every effort to
change the sentiment. He said to the
Associated Press:
my place is at the head of the ticket
in New York state. l feel that Mr..
ann is right and that l can do more
to help Mckinley by running in New
York state than l can by being on the
national ticket"

campaign manager, William Berry, both
asserted today that the boom for Roose-
Welt was helping their case.
IF New York and Hanna stand firm
against the Roosevelt boom it will be
exploded and Mr.. Woodruff will get the
nomination." said Mr.. Berry.
The real logic of this reasoning is
not quite apparent. but a significant re-
mark dropped by a lieutenant of Mr..
Woodruff's put the matter in a new
light.
Mr.. Woodruff" said he, docs not
care if Governor Roosevelt beats him.
In fact, he has assured the governor
that if he changes his mind and cares
to stand for the nomination he Wood
ruff will withdraw"
There were several rumors tonight
! that Roosevelt had - last agreed to
stand for the nomination. These ru-
mors probably result from the fact that
he had said that if his nomination was
finally forced he could not decline It.
but he said emphatically tonight that
he would not ALLOW Mr.. Plat to pre-
sent his name, and would fight against
the nomination to the last minute.

FOR NEW WARSHlPS.
Interest Shown by Shipbuilders in
Prospective Competition.

washington, June 18.-Great interest
ia shown by ship builders in the pros
pectiye competition for contracts for the
new warships. Besides the Cramps, IN
ion Iron works and the Newport News
the Neafie and Levy Ship and
Engine company n the New York Ship
Building company are expected to enter

ships and six armored cruisers to be built

is expressed that the bids will be as low
as they, think they can safely go. There
will be a large number of bidders for
contracts for1the three protected cruisers
to be constructed. The William r. Trigg
company of Richmond, Va, the Bath
Iron works, Levi Nixon of Elizabeth.
N. J., and other firms are expected to
compete for these contracts.

CANNON BALL SAFE.
Aetna Savings and Trust GO. has q
Corliss Contrivance Weighing
Seven Tons.

Considerable curiosity was excited Sat
rrday and Sunday by the presence III
front of the office of the Aetna Savings
and Trust company CT a huge amor
hall. During Saturday evening thou-
| sands congregated around the huge pall
and MANY were the speculations as to It's
purpose.
IT'S immense size precluded the posi-
bility of it being a cannon ball. for no
! cannon ever constructed could force
such a projectile any distance. The
mystery was cleared up yesterday When
preparations began for the unloading OF
the curiosity. Then it was seen THAT II
was fitted with several peculiar contrlV-
ances. similar in a amer to those seen
on safes of the most improved kind, and
/ this is what ut proved to be.
Manager Clements gave an Inter
Mountain reporter today an idea of the
manner in which it works. 1t is a can
non ball within a cannon ball, the inner
ball being used for the storage of money
and valuable paper 1t is constructed OF
steel manufactured by a secret process,
and weighs over seven tons The inner
ball by a simple continuance can be
made to form an air tight joint with the
outer shell. 1t is about IA inches in thick
ness.
TIL safe is the invention of Corliss, the
inventor of the celebrated engine move
ment that pears MS name, anu WAS
manufactured by the Mosler company. 1t
is fire, mob and burglar proof and is the
very latest invention in the safe line. A
model of this safe was exhibited by Cor
liss at the Centennial exposition, but it
is only within the past few years that
they have been manufactured.
The Aetna Savings inc Trust company
office is one of the handsomest in the
city. 1t is located on h corner of Broad
way and Main and is elegantly fitted up
It is equipped with every little conven-
fence which would d to the comfort OF
it's employees and patrons, and above all
schooled in their business.

ESCAPE WAS
MIRACULOUS
-
FOUR MINERS IN THE NIPPER
THREATENED WITH AN AW-
Full DEATH,
CRASHED DOWNWARD
70. AN HUNDRED FEET.
Break in the Hosting Machinery Let
Bucket Slip-One Man
Stepped Out.

Four men employed in the Nipper
mins-Lou Conroy, John Wassell, John
Tobfn, and a man whose name could not
be learned-narrowly escaped an awful
death early this morning. They were be-
ing lowered from the 500 to the 600 level
when a break in the hosting machinery
caused the friction to slip, and the
bucket, freighted with humanity, went
crashing to the 600.
LUIS before the break occurred the un-
known man stepped from the bucket to
the wall plate. Conroy, Wassell and
Tobtn fell, and their escape from death
was little short of miraculous. The dis
lance they fell was little short of 1OC
feet. Tobin's spine was seriously injured,
while he injuries Of Wassell and Con-
roy were internal. All three were badly
shaken up, but no bones were broken.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Changes IN the Cabinet - Members
LIKELY 20 Retire In March-Ad-
mirnI Dewey's Collection.



All the members Of the existing cabl-
net viii formally tender their resigna-
lions to President Mckinley before the
4th Of next March. Some Of them VIII
do so with the earnest desire that they
may be accepted, while others VIII do
80 as a matter of courtesy and more or
less Indifferent to what action the pres
ident may take. All Of this Is neces-
sary to the reorganization Of the cabi-
net which another term Of office for the
president brings about. The terms OF
office Of the present members expire on
the 4th of March, and the president
will then have to send the names OF
new cabinet to the senate before the
government can move along with the
proper number Of heads TO the execu-
tive branches.
There has been gossip about the prob
able retirement Of members Of the cabi-
net for some time, but there is basis for
more than speculation as to the pros
pectlve personnel OF the presidents
cabinet advisers.
These May Retire.
II Is generally understood that Presi-
dent Mckinley will have to look for

knows that this will be impossible. The
president will find il next TO impossible

He has held his position for four years
because he thinks there II 10 man in

lieved that Postmaster General Smith

in his present position. There is some
talk that upon the retirement Of Secre-
tary Long he might accept that depart
ment II the place Is offered him. Sec
rotary Hay is another man who VIII
not long stay in the cabinet. II Is be-
lleved in well Informed circles that II
he does not go out in March ne will do
80 before great while. II Is believed
that Secretary Gage will resign the
treasury portfolio ut an early date, not
waiting until March 1. In all probable
Ity he will be succeeded by Charles q.

Mr.. WI Ting Fang, the Chinese min
lister, whose intelligent observations on
American affairs have already attract
ed wide attention, appeared in a new
role on election day. In order to fully
acquaint himself with the Australian
ballot system and to make practical
study of It's workings he went to Rock
VILE that day and devoted fully half
an hour to observing the casting OF bal
lots In the county seat of Montgomery
county.
1T was very interesting and instruc-
tive to me-" he said. Il saw the two

The president will make every effort
consistent with his position TO have
Secretary Root remain in his cabinet
as secretary Of war or have him accept
some other portfolio. Secretary Hitch
cock will probably remain In the cabi-
net for a portion Of the next term at
least. The general belief in all direc-
lions Is that Secretary Wilson will hold
his present place 10y the wish of the
president.
