CHANCES OF THE NEW YORK MEN Mr. McKinley's Foreign and €inan- cial Politics. ee THE CUBAN SITUATION 2 ee The érrival of President-elect McKinley today overshadowed everything. As soon as he his had a little rest and got rid of the formal greetings, he will have serious busi- ness conferences with party leaders with whom hc has appointments. The one va- cant cabinet position is not to be filled until after these conferences. It will be decided this evening whether a New York man will be selected, and who it will be. Tne fact that Messrs. Bliss, McCook and Wood- ford are all three here waiting to confer with Mr. McKinley is accepted as sufficient indication that ail three are willing to go into the cabinet under conditions satisfac- tory to them. The difficulty arises from the fact that neither Bliss nor MeCook wants to go at\the head of the Interior De- partment. At present this ts the only place open, but if the question could be thereby simplified, a shift might be made from the navy. Sherman was selected definitely for Secretary of State, Gage for Secretary of Treasury, Alger for Secretary ot War, and Gary for Postmaster Generaf. At the time of his selection it was not definitely de- cided whether McKenna should be Attor- rey General or Secretary of the Interior, but Mr. MeKinley’s idea was, it is said, to make him Secretary of the Interior. That assignment left the attorney generalship New York, and McCook would, it is understood, have accepted that position. Bliss was the first choice on general politi- cal grounds for Secretary of Navy. The rea- son for his declination was the ill health of his wife, but it is believed that he would q epted if it had not been found de- » to give New York the Interior rat the Navy Department. Mr. McK na is a Catholic, and it is understood that objection is raised to his going at the head of the Interior Department on that account. The Secretary of the Interior has to ¢ with the Indian schools, etc., and the qu tion of sectarianism is raised as to the: institutions. To Accommodate New Y Mr. McKinley is not to consider objections based on religious differences, but to put a Catholic in this particular office would provoke unneces- sary criticism. For this reason, it Is under- stood, Mr. McKenna will have to go at the head of the Department of Justice ra- ther than the Interior. The question of what shifts can be made to accommodate the New York people’s wishes will be con- sidered at a conference between the Presi- dent-elect and Messrs. Platt, McCook, Bliss and Woodford, but it is not believed that Mr. McKinley can offer New York anything but the Interior. The fact that Woodford is willing to accept that may lead to his appointment, but Mr. Bliss is in the front if other arrangements can be made for a shift that would give him the Navy De- partment. + Washington is full of people who are ap- plicants for positions, great and small. The distinguished men who want diplomatic ap- pointments are innumerable. It is under- stood, however, that Mr. McKinley will not take up any of these matters at this time. kk. generally disposed The two things which have been occupying his mind are the cabinet and his inaugural address. Great interest is taken by Con- gress in the intimation of polic in the inaugural add It is said those who have been indulging in the theory that there might be something equivocal in the attitude of the new administration as to the financial and the foreign policies will find themselves mistaken. ley"s Position. lected for his sury and his Secretary of State, whose positions are well understood, fully represent his position on these questions. efore his nomination and even during the campaign it was frequently sa‘d that Mr. McKinley was not as far advanced on the expected money question as was the eastern wing of the republican party. Tt is true that he a bimetallist to start with, but it is was asserted, and there is very g00d reason to believe, that the events of the campaign ard a careful study of the question have modified his views, or, rather, ripened his opinions, and he is in no way behind the prevailing opinion of his party on this issue. It is believed that he will endeavor to carry out the pledges of the platform, direct cr implied, to give bimetallism every chance to vindicate itself through an in- ternational agreement, but that he will do this without any relaxation of faith in the “present gold standard.” It is regard- ed as probable that some effort will be ad- vised by him to enlarge the use of silver as a subsidiary money, but that he believes thoroughly in the wisdom of maintaining the gold standard. His Foreign Policy. As to the foreign policy, especially re- lating to Cuba, the understanding 1s that the administration will take precisely the position which Mr. Sherman has_ taken, that it is not the duty of this country to interfere in foreign revolutions or troubles of any sort as long as the interests of this country) and its citizens are not involved, but to vigorously protect all American in- terests and to compel respect of the rights of American citizens. The Cuban situation will probably demand the immediate atte: tion of the new administration, and it may be confidently relied on that there will be no hesitation about protecting American citizens who are being wronged. The Conferences Begun. The conferences which President-elect McKinley 1s to have before he settles the question of who will fill the remaining va- cancy in the cabinet began this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, when the President-elect was called upon by Senator-elect Thomas C. Platt of New York, who has spent the day quietly in his rooms at the Arlington talking with friends. The conference is by appointment of the President-elect, and is extremely important. At 2 o'clock this afternoon Mr. Platt was seen by a Star reporter and asked if there was anything new in the situation. “I haven't anything to tell you now,” he said. “Will you see the President-elect?” , 1 will call upon him this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.” Two minutes later the reporter talked with a close friend of the New York man, “Why, of course, the matter is not settled,” said the Platt republican. “Nobody is au- thorized to speak for Mr. Platt but him- self, and he will tell McKinley his opinion. ‘This has been all talk about an appoint- ment to be made without consultation with Mr. Platt.” “Is Gen. Woodford still the choice of the republican organization of New York for the cabinet?” “Certainly he is, and his name will be presented to Mr. McKinley. If he is turned down that will be all that can occur. Mc- Cook is out of the deal now, and we want Woodford.” It 1s believed that Mr. Platt will present the name of Gen. Woodford, and will urge that gentleman’s name to the fullest ex- tent. Mr. Gage spent some time at the Treas- ury Department this afternoon, and was introduced to many of the offictals by Con- troller Eckels, with whom he is well ac- quainted. He and Secretary Carlisle had a long conference on the business of the department. ———-e.______ Iunuguration Courtesies. The L. C.

HIS CLAIMS DOUBTED. Charles Parker, Who Says He Killed Wesley Hall, is Insane. Charles Parker, the colored man who claims to be the murderer of Wesley Hall, was today taken to the Police Court and questioned by Assistant District Attorney Mullowny. When speaking on general subjects Parker seems to be perfectly «ra- tional, but as soon as the\murder is men- tioned he instantly asumes a rambling manrer of talking. Mr. Mullowny was unable to reach a clusfon as to whether or not Parker ‘as responsible for the death of the shoe- maker last April, so at the direction of Assistant District Attorney Hegh T. Tag- gart the man was returned to the ninth precinct station until tomorrow, when he hoe be examined by District Attorney v While waiting for ithe patrol wagon Par- ker gave a concert on the mouth organ in the detective office at police headquarters, Detective Sergeant Johnson presenting him with 2n instrument. He played with skill di loudly applauded. The prisoner ems a little anxious about himself, a Star reporter: “Say, boss, da’ ain’t goin’ ter do nuffin’ wif me, is d He sti insists, however, that he is the murde but some of the officials think otherwise. Thornton Parker, a brother of th called at police afternoon and explaine cr that Charles is in an ylum at Petersburg, Va. years. Thornton is rggdy to make aflidavit that his brother Was at his home in Caroline county, Va at the time Hall was murdered. — His brother lived for some time near Hall's shop, and Thorntor is sure that Charles is suffering under a hallucination. WERE DISAPPOINT ‘THE bo Western High School Cadets Resen: Thetr Disorganization, Company H of the Western High Schoo! Corps has for a few hours been the cen- ter of a s.orm cloud of indignation, whict spread its influence rapidly until the entire student body at the school was in a state of open mecting. The trouble arose whe} an order from Major Ross was read terday afternoon at the close of battalion drill, which directed the cadets of Com- pany H to report to other divisions of the cadet force for the inauguration day pa- rade. The objectionable order was due to th: regulation that all companies taking part in the procession must present a front twenty mez. Many of the companies are short, and to fill up the gaps tie boys of the Westorn were assigned here and there among the various High School companies, much to their disgust. This meant that while taking active part in the parade the boys from the Western wou 1 identity as representatives of their own school. The parents and the girl friends of the boys felt the matter keenly, and in many cases parents forbade their boys participat- ing in the parade, Today the whole situation was changed by an order rescinding the objectionable one. The Western’s cadets will march with its own officers and in its proper place. ———— ATTEMPTED CIDE. Father Chided Him for Drinking and He Shot Himself. Because his father reproached him for drinking, George Nowland, a bricklayer, living with his parents at 44 H_ street about 8 o'clock last evening nd pointed a pistol at his head, fired, and then rushed into the street, creating some excitement and the gathering of a large crowd. He was hastily removed to the Emergency Hospital. The surgeons found that the bullet did not penetrate the brain, and every probability exists that Nowlend will recover. Nowland is twenty-three years of age, the son of a well-known citizen and con- tractor of South Washington. Both the mother and father of the young man were greatly alar.ned at his rash act. —_—- LER'S SPEECH. MR. TE! He Declares the Silver Insue Will Not Be Abandoned. In the Senate this afternoon Mr. Teller in a speech said there was no purpose on the part of the friends of silver to let the great financial question lapse by the adop- tion of any temporary expedient. The con- test would be carried on, and the friends of silver expected to make it an exceed- ingly lively contest. ‘The republican party was about to come into power, Mr. Teller said, and we knew who Is to be Secretary of State and Secre- tary of the Treasury. We Know, he said, that the senator from Ohio (Sherman) does rot believe in the effectiveness of an in- ternational conference. We know also that the new Secretary of the Treasury (Gage), according lo press reports, Aas no sym- pathy with an international agreement. If the new President had any sympathy for an international agreement it must be from his votes in the House, and not for anything he had said since his nomination, for, excepting the perfunctory acceptance of the platform, every utterance had indi- cated that he had gone over to the gold andard and would re nain there. Mr. Teller referred to the approaching ! avguration of a President. We were toid, he said, that the ceremony would be with the pomp and majesty of royalty. He did not complain of that. The coming of the executive of seventy million people should be attended with something more than or- dirary interest. But it would be as a re- fiection on that day, he said, that more men and women were out of work and the subjects of charity than ever before in the history of the republic. 2 BSS es) All of It for Ten Cents. ‘The issues of The Evening Star for March 3, 4, 5 and 6 will contain an elaborate his- tory of the inauguration of President Me- Kinley, and form an interesting and valuable souvenir of the great event.

Lake Shore was again active under a good demand, based on its favorable fund ing project. In the industrial department the stre of the regular list was fully reflected, manipulative interest in American Sugar forced the price up from a low opening level, thereby adding color to the presumy tion that the advance will not oulmina' prior to the closing of the books for next dividend. The securities of the American Spirits Company were in good demand, a possible dividend on the preferred stock serving to support the price.
