Substitutes for the President.

The old scheme of presidential sue.
cession, which placed the Speaker of
the House Of Representatives next to
the vice-president and then stopped,
was changed in the first session of the
Forty Congress, in 1885,, says the
New York Sun. Vice President Roose-
welt having now assumed the duties of
president, the following substitutes
are provided, in case he, and each of
them in order, is disabled:
The Secretary of State.
The Secretary of the Treasury.
The Secretary of War.
The Attorney General.
The Post Master General.
The Secretary of the Navy
The Secretary of the Interior.
In view Of the constitutional provi-
sion that only native-born Americans
shall be eligible to the office of presi-
dent and vice-president, section 2 of
the act of 1856 limits it's application
to "such officers as shall have been
appointed, by the advice and consent
of the Senate, to the offices therein
named and such as are eligible to the
office of president under the constitu-
ton" We give here list of the
members of the cabinet, in accordance
with the law providing for their sue
cession, together with their places of
birth:
Secretary Hay ..............I Indiana
Secretary Gage ............ New York
Secretary Root ............ New York
Attorney General Knox, Pennsylvania
Postmaster General Smith, Connecticut
Secretary Long ...............M Maine
Secretary Hitchcock ....... Alabama
Secretary Wilson ......... Scotland
The Hon. James Wilson, therefore,
good American as he is, is the single
statesman not to be counted on in case
the cabinet is called upon to furnish
a successor to Mckinley.

Not Meeting Expectations.
Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Dec. 2O.-The regents OF the
University of Iowa are investigating q
matter that affects the reputation OF
distinguished engineer living in New
York city and of two prominent firms
manufacturing boilers and heating par
aphanalia. The students and professors
of the university are being kept warm
for the most part thru this cold spell
by the heating plant recently installed
at the university but the regents in
auditing the bills fear that the coal sup
ply required to run the heating plant is
twice what it was computed to be and
that the boilers of the new plant are
being run at full capacity instead OF at
a reduced rate computed to heat the
buildings now constructed and allowing
a leeway for buildings to be built in the
future.
Forty-five tong Of coal are required to
heat the university buildings daily. an
amount twice as large as was computed.
The regents are excited over this I'M
expected draft upon the revenues ap-
propriated for the purchase OF fuel and
have called upon the company to send
an expert from New York to test the
boilers and heating paraphanalia to see
IL they are doing what the contracts re-
Quire them to do. The companies say
that their experts will straighten the
matter out all right but at present the
heating plant IL looked upon as an ex-
pensive and painful disappointment.

Gage ExcIaims "You're a Liar"

Gage Exclaims YOU'RE LIAR"
/ Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 20.--A lot OF
Philadelphians. who gathered in the old
mint building at Juniper and Chestnut
streets yesterday to witns - the process
of auctioning off the site. gave Sec
Rotary of the Treasury Gage an ex
hibition of their idea of wit. The prop
erty is owned by the United States
government, and as several pieces of
ground not SO favorably situated have
brought prices per front foot that would
warrant the government In demanding
at least s2.0000.0O0 for its land. the
Iauctioneer at the beginning stated that
no bid for less than that sum would
be accepted. There was no sound from
the crowd of 500 men for a few seconds
following this announcement. Then the
idea OF Chanting the auctioneer struck
some one as being funny and he yelled:
why don't you take the limit off,
Another wit suggested:
You might take it over to New
York.
Mr.. Gage, who sat near the auction
eer, told him that If there was no one
who would give 100000 he should
withdraw the property
Some one offered 100000. Then a
feeble voice said
lone million five hundred thousand
dollars
Nothing less than 100000 VIII be
Ger.
Just then man said:
why. you're an auctioneer; why
don't You start 1t yourself? That 81
100000 is only an upset price anyway.
Following this another voice said:
Yes, take what you can get. The gov
eminent sold the New York custom
house to the Bank of America and has
never yet gotten cent, while the bank
has received 100000 in a year in rent
for the building"
Quick as a flash Secretary Gage was
on his feet peering into the crowd IN
the direction when the voice came. and
pointing his finger he angrily cried:
You're Har"
The man did not take UP the chal-
lense and the secretary's remark only
caused the crowd to laugh. When the
noise ceased the property was with
drawn Secretary Gage then went over
to the Union League. where he had
luncheon with Joseph G. Darlington, A.
j. Cassatt, and other prominent finan-
ciers. After lunch Secretary Gage said
that the bank the man in the crowd
referred to MAS the City bank Of New
York. which had bought the custom
house for ss,265.000 and paid on 1t all
except $4,000 He said that by the
terms of the sale he could not force the
bank to pay the balance until the gov
ernnment vacates the building. which
will be in about three years.
II told the man he He'd and he did,
said Mr.. Gage The upset price Of that
piece Of property was 100000 and
got s3.2s5, 600 for it. I felt pretty good
over it but no one elee seems to.

THE NEW TIME CARD.
Practically No Changes in Passenger
4 x

Practically No Changes in Passenger
Time But Inauguration of New Fast
Freight Service.
The time cards, showing the new
schedule of trains. to go into effect at
1901 o'clock Sunday morning, arrived
in the city this morning. There are
practically no changes whatever in the
time of passenger trains a this point,
The only change being in the time Of
No. SOL, the northJbound Story City
branch passenger train. that now leaves
Marshalltown station at 10 a. m. The
new time of this train will be fifteen
minutes earlier. or 9:45.
While the passenger trains have not
been changed there Is radical change
in the freight service. The traffic de-
partment has established thru connec-
lions for time freight between ST. Louis
and st. Paul. via the Wabash and the
NJ. & st. L., and has placed on two adj
ddtional trains, Nos. IS and IS.
Heretofore the Burlington lines have
been able to give better service between
ST. Louis and ST. Paul and because Of
the faster time made have been getting
the bulk OF the business. Now the Cen
trail approximates the same service and
expects to make strong st. Louis-St.
Paul line.
Besides this new fast thru service the
local merchandise service will be Won
derfully improved after Sunday. Two
thru merchandise trains are to be es-
tablshed, materially improving the To-
cal merchandise service and making a
difference OF several hours from one
OF the line to the other
Taken all around this new schedule
is considered the best ever in effect on
the line. An effort was made to make
the time OF No. 2. the evening pussen-
ger south, earlier, but just now this
seems impossible, owing to connections
north.
