SELECTING THE CABINET.
Mr.. Bonaparte the Latest to Be Added
to the Possibilities.


The Presidents new cabinet is every day
being made up by speeulatively inclined
persons. The latest gossip in this connec-
ton is that Charles J. Bonaparte of Balti-
more may succeed Ethan Allen Hitchcock
as Secretary of the Interior. The trouble
about all this speculation issthat Mr.. Hitch
cock may succeed himself as head of the
Interior Department. His record there is
clean and open, and the President thinks
highly of him. In the event of the election
of Mr.. Hitchcock as United States senator
from Missouri there would be vacancy In
the department, it is true, but that is a
mere contingency.
Mr.. Bonaparte's connection with the post
office cases a special Attorney was SO
satisfactory to the President that he is
said to have the Baltimore man in mind
for high hanors wheneverh he has oppor-
tunity to bestow them.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Conference of the Joint Congressional
Commission at the Capitol.

The joint commission on the merchant
marine of the two houses of Congress, hav-
ing finished the taking of testimony, held a
meeting today in the room of the Senate
committee on the District of Columbia to
cenfer in regard to the nature of the re-
port it will make to Congress. There will
be several meetings of the commission be-
fore any report Is decided upon.
1t is not likely, in the opinion of some
members of the commission, that direct
subsidy bill will be deemed desirable, but
there is a practical unanimity of opinion
that sonnet thing should be done by Con-
gress in order to place the merchant ma
rine of this country on a par in the mat
ter of the advantages they enjoy with
ships of other countries that have pro-
vided subsidies or equivalent advantages
for their ship owners.

Remarkable Foot Ball Contest-Presi

one of the largest crowds ever gathered to
witness a foot ball game in ST. Louis the
Carlisle Indian School of Pennsylvania and
the Haskell Indian School of Kansas bat

lacking the intense partisan feeling of a
purely local contest.
Today's game was the first played be-
tween Indian teams representing the two
government institutions, and great interest
was manifested in the result owing to he
strong rivalry which exists between the
eastern and western schools.

from London says: In all the European
capitals the conviction gains ground that a
date of a second peace conference at The
Hague is now quite within the range of
practical policies. 1t Is believed that the
