Cleveland Aided in Making

future mistress cf the WhiU House

senger buy bearing telegram of con
gratulation kept the doer tell ringing
almost coutuauousiy. William C.Whit
ney, Col. Damd S. Lvuoat, George F.
Parker and Hubert L. O'Brien were
with the president-elect for several
hours in trie morning, and he dented
himself, to all other callers. Mr.
ria said this afternoon that Mr.
Cleveland had intended at first to ad
dress a letter to the voters of the
country giving h;a tiews on the politi
c; tuation, Lat this project had been
abandoned. Mr. Cleveland bad also
decided not to allow any of the tele
grams or letters of congratulation to
to puMuhed. Mr. O'Brien said that
the number of the message already
v- exceeded S.OuO, and the stream showed
no sign of diminuton. Anions the
lenders of the Eitssagi'a. he asserted,
were almost every democrat of promi
nence in the country and a god many
republican, lie ascribes Mr. Cleve
land's action in withholding the nif
sages from tne public to the influence
of Mr. Cleveland.
Wwrk or Cabinet Makers.
The result of tne election being posi
tively settled, politicians are turning
their attention to the possible make-up
of President Cleveland's next cabinet.
The cab.net slate generally figured out
by poi.t.oans today is as tollows:
Secretary of State Thomas F. Bay
ard of Delaware.
ScreUry of the Treasury John L.
Mitchell or ex-Postmaster General Wil
liam M. Vilas of Wisconsin.
Secretary of the Navy William C.
Whitney; of New York.
Secretary of War W. B. Franklin of
New Hampshire.
Secretary of the Interior Isaac P.
Gray of Indiana.
Attorney General Congressman Wil
liam L. Wilson of West Virginia or
jf Congressman Culbertson of Texas.
Postmaster General Don M. Dickin
son of Michigan.
It has been the generally accepted
belief in political circles that ex-Secretary
Whitney, who has done so much
to achieve the sweeping victory for
Cleveland, would be offered the place
of secretary of state by the president
elect, but those who appear to know
something about it say that Mr. Whit
ney would prefer to be secretary of the
navy if he enters the cabinet at all.
V TVhoAr IbtLuckj Unt?
There are a number of vacancies in
the higher ofiices of the executive de
partments of the government, and the
problem of filling them has been con
siderably compl.cated by the result of
the recent election. These positions
are outside of the civil service law and
regulations, and are looked upon as
th ) legitimate patronage of the parly
in power. Cn der ttie present adminis
tration all of these places are, or have
tn, tilted by nin of ih republican
fauh, as under the last administration
they were tilled by democrat. It is
i expected, of course, that when the ad
ministration changes March -t, next,
another general change will be mad-.
In v;ew of that fact the vacancies
now existing can not be regarded as
altogether durable prizes, as in about
tnrev? months the appointees would, no
douht, be expecied to step down and
out. It will bo necessary, however, m
order that the public business may I
t properly carried on, that s me of these
vacancies t tilled at Once. Although
ther has been no lack of applicant,
yet it is doubtful whether any large
proportion of them would now be will
ing to accept the places which they
mint soon surrender, and in making
such appointment President Harri
son will prorably hud that the office
must ffit tne man. and not the mau
the ffice, wh.ch will be something of
a novelty tn his Dol.tical experience.
Varanrlr to b filled.
In the postotnee department there is
only one vacancy in the higher offices,
and' tuat is the ofiice of the first assist
ant postal titer general. Colonel Whit,
fluid's res gnation went into effect
nearly a month ago. and since that
time Mr. Fowler, the clerk of the office,
f has been acting first assistant. Under
the Us an acting first assistant can
srve only thirty davs, after which a
permanent appointment mut be made
if the vacancy is filled at all.
Mr. Fowler, and Mr. Bell, the second
assistant po't-i: aster general, have been
mentioned for the place, but General
Wanamaker, it is said, has not yet fully
decidM whom he will recommend, but
he will presumably take witif action
snn. In the interior derartment there
is also one important vacancy, tr.at rf
the comnvs!oner of the general land
otlice, now being temporarily fi.led by
Assistant Comm-!onr Stone. It has
bn suggested that Mr. Carter might
J b ind'u-ed to return and serve until
March I. tut this is quit Improbable.
It is as ini d that the heads of all of
th bureaus of tn s-teral departments

cratic admin stration, who, therefore,
appears to be safe to continue at his
post for four years more, unless Presi
dent llarr son should determine to
make a change before the 4ih of
March, which u improbable.
There are practically now two
vacancies in the important oflices ot
fts;tant secretary of the treasury, as
Mr. Nettleton's resignation will take
effect next month, and Mr. Crounse,
who ran as a republican candidate for
governor of Nebraska, has likewise re
signed from the treasury.
In the department of justice there
will be a vacancy at the very head.
Attorney General Miller having s gui.
Bed bis intention of resigning, but U is
not yet knowu whether this action will
be taken so soon as to require the presi
dent to make a cabinet appointment
before the 4th of March.
That is tbs tSsnch, Also.
The president will also have four va
cancies on the tench to hit between
now and the 4th of March. These are
United Ma tea judgeship caused by the
retirement of Judge lilodeett of the
Chicago district, by the resignation ot
Judge M ntgomery of the supreme
Court of the district nf Colorado, by
the retirement of Judge James of the
same court on Decemler l, and by the
resignation of Judge Dixon of the
Utah district. These are life positions
and are really the most alluring prizes
remaining within the gift of the ad
ministration. Colonel Hepburn, who
has just ben elected to congress from
the eighth district of Iowa, will prob
ably retain his present office as solicitor
of the treasury until March 4.
The u lieiary is the only branch of
the government whicn will remain
under the control of the republican
party after the 4th of March next.
United States judges are appointed for
life, subject t the privilege of volun
tary retirement on full pay after reach
ing the age cf 70 years, provided they
have been ten years in service. The
district and circuit judges are, as a
rule, republicans, and it is unlikely
that there will be a sufficient number
of vacancies during the next four years
to enable Mr. Cleveland, by new ap
pointments, to give the democratic
party a majority of these positions.
Nor is there any probability that the
next administration will have an oppor
tunity to make the United States su
preme court democratic.
As it is the court of final resort of all
questions of constitutional or federal
law, the political predilections of the
justices may at any time become a
matter of importance, though the
freedom of the court from influence
by considerations extraneous to the
legal points at issue in any case before
it is conceded. The places on the su
preme bencn which it is mo'ut likely
Mr. Cleveland will have an opportu
nity ol tilling during the next four
years (if there be any vacancies at all)
are at present occupied by democrats.
Justices Field and Lamar. Chief Jus
tice Fuller is the only other democrat
on the bench- The remaining six
members are s republicans, and. except
Justice Blatchford, none of them are
within five years of the age at which
they may retire on full pay. Justice
Blatchford is in vigorous health, and,
as he likes his work, he is in no harry
to take advantage of the opportunity
the law affords him, be having served
ten years last spring. The other five
members of the court, viz.. Justices
Harlan, Gray, Brown, Brewer and Shi
ras, are men hardly past middle age,
and, so far as appearances go, are each
good for a decade of service yet.
VERY SENSIBLE ACT.
World's Fair Directors Pass Resolutions
to Keep the Fair Opened Sundays.
Chicago, Not. 11. With only four
dissenting votes, directors of the
world's fair went on record this after
noon as favoring the opening of the
exposition ou Sunday.
Among other things, the reso utions
declare: "It is our judgment that the
exposition should be open on Sunday
under such rules and regulations as
will prohibit the use of machinery, un
necessary manual labor aud all
merchandising, and at the same
time giving opportunity for the
study of the highest standard of artis
l.c and mechanical art exhibited.
It shoul d l- thrownopen to the publicon
each and every day during the entire
linie of the exposition, that each
employe should be given one day of
each week for rest, study or recreation.
44 We belie v that the study on Sun
day of such exhibits of science aud art,
anil ot the skill and genius of the ar.i
zan, will not only hi of inestimable
educational advantage, but the
thoughts of the visitors will be lifted
above these creative agencies to the
great Creator of all things useful and
teauttful."
The resolutions favor the holding of
religious services on the grounds each
Suuday aflernoon. It is probable that a
statement of the boards action, together
with the resolutions adopted, will be
sent to each member of congress.
Whether any further attempt will be
made to influence the inemlers to
amend the law has not been decided,
but it is likely that long petititions will
be sent to Washington soon after the
session of congress begins.

IS SEEN AT ONCE
The Effect Election Had on
Divers Industries.
MONEY HAS BECOME TIGHT
Caruin Branches of TraJa Have D. fa
culty in Filling Old Orders Rail
road Cannot Move the Grain.
New York, Nov. 11. R. G. Dun A
Co.'s Weekly Ksiview of Trade will say:
4The presidential election has inter,
ruo ted business, to s, me extent, in all
parts of the country during the past
week, but by no means as niucu as
usual, and at nearly all points the vol
ume of trade has been fairly main
tained and the unprecedented activity
of industries has only been interrupted
by the election holiday. A severe
storm throughout most of the northern
states has embarrassed the movement
of products and checked some trades;
but was very welcome to dealers in
winter goods, who had found the unu
sually mild weather somewhat depress
ing to their business.
Distribution of other products has
been fully up to the average, and re
ports regarding collections are from al
most all points quite satisfactory for
the season. The money markets have
nut oeeu disturbed, tuough working
somewhat closer at several important
points, aud foreign necessities and the
scarcity of commercial bills have
caused some decline in foreign ex
change. It is feared that Uussian
needs and the failure to place the de
sired loan in Paris may cause further
withdrawals of Kusaiau balances in
eastern Kurope.
31 any Hmokfn,
Trade at B sum has been fairly ac
tive for a broken week, with woolen
mills fully employed and the consump
tion of goods remarkably large. The
wool market had anticipated an ad
vance in price, which did not occur,
though sales amounted to 4,000,000
pounds. Cottons were firm and the
mills are all busy. Tne boot and shoe
trade is more quiet, leather steady, but
domestic bides more active. At Phila
delphia most trades have been dull, but
irou is firmer, and colder weather
briugs more demand for boots and
shoes. Manufacturers of tobacco are
pressed to their full capacity, the wail
paper trade is large and trade in chem
icals steady.
At Baltimore business is good, with
increasing exports and southern col
lections better than was expected. At
Pittsburg the production of iron in
creases, but also the demand, and the,
general tone is slightly better than be
fore, when large orders for wrought,
fig, glaes, and especially plate, are in
arge demand. Trade at Cleveland is
good, the demand for manufactured
iron exceeding the capacity of the
mills, and money is working closer.
Business at Detroit is very favorable,
trade aud manufacturers exceeding
last year's, and at Cincinnati founder
les are running full time. At Indian
apolis the trade in drugs is excellent,
exceeding last fall's.
Teet the Election.
Receipts of products at Chicago were
curtailed by the election and the
storms, but wholesale trade was large;
dealings in real estate show an increase
of 30 per cent over last year and the
demaud for money is heavy, the west
drawing largely upon the Chicago sup
ply. 'Less than the usual interruption
occurred at St. Louis and trade is
active in all seasonable lines.
The railroaus are crowded, offerings
of gram being unusually large. Colder
weather improves trade and collec
tions at Milwaukee. Some improve
ment, is so n at St. Paul and trade at
Minneapolis is materially better than
ast vear'e. At Omaha business is satis
factory in most lines; at Kaneas City
nealthy, with lair receipts of live sti ck,
but light of grain, and at Denver busi
ness and collections are fair. Pros
pects are mure encouraging at Louie
ville and business fairly active, but at
Nashville trade is fair, and at Little
Kock depressed by the small receipts of
cotton.
At Memphis the election interfered to
some extent aud at New Orleans busi
ness is at a standstill on account of the
great strike which is still unsettled,
though cotton advanced in price and
the demand for cotton and sugar is
good. The government crop report in
dicates smaller yields than were ex
pected, of wheat ' only 600,000,000
bushels, of corn only l,UU0,0O0,0O0
bushels, and a decidedly small yield of
cotton.

Wheat is stronger than a week ago,
with no great change in corn and oats,
but moderate trade in either. Cotton
is risen over bait a cent, with sales of

1SW seems likely to be not far from

New York, Nov. 11. Bradstreets'
Canadian trade report will say: 4As
the 10th instant was observed as a day
of thanksgiving throughout the
Dominion of Canada, the volume of
business there is consequently reduced.
Special representatives to Bradstreets
from Montreal slate that trade is in
excess of the total one year ago, many
buyers preferring to discount their
bill's. In Ontario the volume of sales
of boots and shoes has increased.
Travelers are going out with spring

ARKANSAS ELECTION FRAUDS.
Judge Williams Tells the Grand Jury to
Investigate.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 11. Judge
G. Williams of the federal district
court, today charged the grand jury to

recent election was conducted iu the
several counties comprising the east
ern Judicial district of Arkansas.
'The state law requires," he said,
"tbst the county board of election com
missioners shall appoint the judges.
The judges of election so appointed
shall be discreet persons. They shall

other leading members of the party,
thai Senator John -K. McPherson of
New Jersey will be the secretary of ttie
treasury in the Cleveland cabinet. The
senator's relations with Mr. Cleveland
have always beeu close, personally and
politically, and long before the Chicago

democrats of the state into line for
Cleveland.

DELEGATES GO TO BRUSSELLS
Congressman McCrtary and President
Andrews Discuss the International
Monetary Conference Befoie Sailing.
New Yobk, Nov. 11. Three dele
gates to the international monetary
conference, to meet in Brussella ou
November 22. arrived in New Yoik to
day. They are Senator W. B. Allison
of Iowa, Congressman J. R. McCreary
cf Kentucky (re-elected Tuesday), and
E. Benjamin Andrews, president of the
Brown university, Rhode Island. They
will sail tomorrow on the Aller
for Brenieu. President Andrews has
for years been a student of monetary
subjects. A few years ago he wrote a
long article on ''An Honest Dollar."
"1 belive in the bi-metaJlism," he
aid to a United Press reporter today at
the Fifth Avenue hotel. "I do uot,
however, think such a standard is ad
visable or feasible for this country
without the co-operation of other na
tions. The United States is not strong
enough to undertake the establishment
of bi-mctallisin nor free coinago of sil
ver alone I do not think it would be
advisable at present in this couutry to
open our minta tor free coinage unless
an international agreement can first be
made. I observe that in the south,
where there was supposed to be a great
free silver sentiment, Cleveland ob
tained all the electoral votes. I take
this as an indorsement of this attitude
on the silver questi n as against the
policy of President Harrison. I think
the common view lof the monetary
question is that it would be unwise for
this country to attempt to establish a
standard without some international
arrangement." j
McCreary Favors iFree Coinage.
Congressman McCreary said: "I
think the best policy is bi-metallism
and an unlimited coinage of
gold and silver on a ratio that will be
recognized all over the world. No
country has the same ratio as another.
It is therefore desirable to make some
international arrangement. I do not
believe this country should undertake
to establish a standard of its own. At
present 1 prefer not to go into a discus
sion of details."
Speaking about the result of the
presidential election, Mr. McCreary
tsaid: "I jlhink it showed that the
country and the people are tired of
heavy taxef , tired of being threatened
by the force bill; tired of reckless ex
travagance of the public mouey. I do
not think! the democrats want free
trade, but fair trade, that will benefit
all, instead ot a few, as protection
does. The election of Cleveland
one of the greatest presidential vic
tories ever achieved, does not mean
that the industries of the country are
lobe interrupted or that commerce
will be disturbed or the finances dis
arranged, but it means an economical
administration, such as he gave the
country from 1884 to 188S. He has
clearly demonstrated that he is the
choice of the people. His overwhelm
ing victory shows how strong he is
throughout the couutry."

Canada Wants Free Trade.
Ottawa, Out., Nov. 11. The entire
dc i imon press is urging the Ottawa
government to prepare to meet demo
cratic reform by reducing the Canadian
tariff. It points out that the domin
ion ministers need not look for any
treaty of reciprocity, such as was pro
posed to the Harrison admimstratn n
during the prefeut year. Upon the.
tariff question the democratic party
have a fixed principle. They will n't
entertain any propos tious for reciproc
ity of trade, or any other project ham
pering the free action of congress.
The democratic victory has therefore
given a death blow to the movement in
favor of restricted reciprocity or com
mercial union.

Frederick Makes a Desperate
Attempt at Suicide.
HE IS VERY ANXIOUS TO OIE
The Murdarer of Moroaa Cannot Raaiat
the Working of Hi Con
cieccs and Seeks Death.
Dktkoit, Nov. II. George C. Fred
erick, awaiting trial for the muider of
George Scott Moruw, in Koch's fcher
man street saloon a w eek ago Tuesday
night, made a desperate attempt to
eud his own existence in the count
jail this morning.
Frederick has been despondent ever
since remorse began to get in its ter
rible work. He has been confined in
ward two on the main floor. The cells
are usually unlocked at 6.30 in the
morning, and as Frederick baa not
made his appearance at 6 o'clock the
other prisoners suspected something
wrong. Opening his cell door, they
found him lying on the lloor. A ter
rible ga?h had been made in bis throat,
and his shirt was saturated with' the
Llood which ooed from the wound.
Abtivui to Ilia.
County Physician Kelley was hastily
summoned. He found that the wind
pipe had been severed, but after sew
ing up the wound said the pr.soaer
would recover.
Frederick's sufferings were horrible
to look upon, bat be was still auxious
to die. He tteckoued to each man in
the room and snook hands. A m.rror
hung in front of him. He was ob
served to gaze at the rel'ection cf his
bloody person, and seemed to take
great eatislaction at th s.ght of tLe
gapping wound in h.s throat.
"Take it down!" said someone.
The would-be suicide iaiitd his
hands deprecatingly, but the minor
was removed. While 1 redtnek was m
what seemed his death agonies, a quar
tet in an adjoining ward fervently
sang "Nearer My God to Thee."
Ihe deed was probably done with a
piece of glafs. Frederick will recover,
but will not be able to talk for some
time.

Ludington's Pride May Be the Next
Speaker of the Legislature,
Lansing, Nov. 11. Legislator-elect
Roswell P. Bishop cf Lud ington will
probably be surprised to discover the
existence of a yourjg but vigorous and
entirely spontaneous loom for his ee
lcctiou as speaker of the next houe ot
reprefentatives. Republican leaders
here who have been acquainted w ith
all the law-makers who Lave gathered
in Lannug during the past decade have
been surprised to observe how few
am ng the republicans elected to the
bout of '93 have Lad any past legisla
tive experience.
Mr. Bishop has been picked out as
the one whose qualifications and serv
ice best fit him for the post of presiding
officer in the lower branch, and by to
morrow there will undoubtedly be a
strong movement on foot for his elec
tion. Mr. Bish pis a one-armed sol
dier, having served in the Forty-third

in New Yirk academies, was finished
at Michigan university, be entering
