&) THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15; 1896. MAJOR McKINLEY'S VERY HARD TASK Questions of the Selection of a Cabinet Are Con- sidered. Ex-President Harrison Would Make a Most Acceptable State Secretary. RUMORS CONCERNING HANNA. And the Business of the Ccuntry Continues to Boom and Pros- perity Is Dawning. CLEVELAND, Onmo, Nov. 14—Chair- man Hanna, General W. M. Osborne, sec- retary of the New York headquarters, and National Committeeman H. C. Payne, chairman of the Chicazo headquarters, held a conference to-day in this city. After the conference General Osborne was asked; *“Has McKinley commenced considering Cabinet possibilities?” ] guess that it is about the only thing agitating his mind nowadays. He real- izes tuat he has a bard task on his hands.” “Would ex-President Harrison be ac- ceptable to the McKinlevites for the Sec- retary of State portfolin?"” “Most certainly, but I do not believe he would accept it. His law partner has given it oat that Mr. Harrison would not be in a position to accept the honor.” “All kinds of rumors are in the air about the Secretary of the Treasury. It goes without saying that Mr. Hanna can have anything that he wanis. The point is, does he want anything?" “It may take Mr. McKinley until a week before his inauguration before he will have decided on the complete make- up of his Cabinet,” *If the pérmanent headquarters goes to ‘Washingten will you be in charge?” “The question of a permanent head- quarters,.as far as I know, has not yet been positively decided upon. The mat- ter rests solely with Mr. Hanna. How- ever, if Washington is chosen, I presume, as’secretary of the National Committee, 1 would probably be located there.” Ho McKINLEY'S QUIET DAY. dow the President-Llect Has Time to Attend to Busine CANTON, O=ro, Nov. 14.—For several months past the streets of Canton on the last day of the week have bzen filled with thousands of visitors from many different states. The lawn about the McKinley residence has been packed to overflowing. To-day, however, has been an exception- ally quiet and uneventful Saturday. There were but few callers to-day at the home of Major McKinley. According to the official returns for the voie on Congressman in this (the Eight- eeth) Congressional district, composed of the counties of Stark, Columbina and Ma- honing, R. W. Taylor R. received 29,814 votes, Isaac R. Sherwood D. 24,770, James L. Swan Pro. 476. Taylor's plurality is 5044, “‘General” Jacob 8, Coxey received one vota in Stark County. ALL BUSINESS BOOMING. Ao Time for Strikes in the New Era of Prosperity. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 14.—The strike of the employes of ibhe Tudor Iron Works, which has been in progress for two years, was declared off to-day, the proprietors baving acceded to the demand for in- creased wages. This will place 800 men at work. The increase of orders for strue- tural iron and the general revival of busi- ness brousht about the end of the strike. CHICAGO, Irs, Ncv. 14—On Decem- ber 10 the four factories of the National Linseed Oil Company, which have been shut down since spring, will be opened. These factories will employ 200 men. The Oil and Lead Works Manufacturing Com- pany, a part of the above system, opened itr factory immediately after the election. —_— ENGLISH PLESS COMMENT. Various Views as to the Beariug of the Election on Money. LONDON, Exe., Nov. 14.—The Statist, discussing the ‘monetary situation, says: “It is now unlikely that gold will go to America. Cheaper money in New York has stopped the rush of exports, and the United States is also purchasing more freely abroad. The balance of trade in the near future will again be against the United States.” The Economist says: “The uncertain course of affairs in the United States is still the dominating influence in the city, and the growing reports of the immediate effects of the election of McKinley are not reliable. The election may restore things to the conaition they were in prior to the silver agitation, but that does not imply that the yolume of trade will assume un- paralieled dimensions.” JEWISH WOMEN GATHER A New York Congress Along Religious and Philan- thropic Lines. One Obj:ct Is to Uproot Skepticism, Which Is Spreading Among Young H brews. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 14.—The con- vention of the National Council of Jewish Women will open to-morrow in the Tuxedo Hotel and will continue until Friday. It is the first convention of Jewish women to be held in America. Tne labors of the council are along the lines of religion and philanthropy. The work in reiigion includes lectures and a study of the Bible, while that in philan- thropy involyes prevention rather than slleviation of suffering and want, and the organization of charities. One purpose of the organization is to root out the spirit of skepticism which is spreading among the youngest Hebrews. The council is the offspring of the Con- gress of Women at the Columbian Expo- sition in 1893, and is called the National Council of Women. Temporary organiza- tion was effected by Mrs, Hannah G. Bolomon, as chairman of the general com- mittee, soon after the congress, Her efforts brought about a Jewish women’s congress at the parliament of religions at the exposition, and the permanent organi- zation which resulted from the Jewish Women’s Congress was the National Council. It now hasa total membership of 3000, with forty-six sectlons, two of which are in Canada. The officers, who are residents of Chi- cago, are as follows: President, Mrs. H. Solomon; vice-president, Mrs. E. Mandel; treasurer, Mrs, H. J. Seis; corresponding secretary, Miss Sadie American; recording secretary, Mrs. T. J. Wolf. 2 Eighteen States are represented in-the council and each has a vice-president. Among those who will read essivs are Miss Nellie L. Miller, Memphis, Tenm.; Mrs. Rachael Sulzberger, New York; Mrs. Etta Nussbum, Marion, Ind.; Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, Chicago; Miss Rose fom- merfield, Baltimore; Mrs. Sophie C.

An Exciting Road Race for Horseless Cars and Carriages for a Distance of Forty-Seven Miles. LONDON, Exg., Nov. 14.—An immense crowd assembled in the vicinity of the Hotel Metropole to-day to witness the de- parture of the motor cars in their race from the Hotel Metropole to Brighton, forty-seven miles from London, the crush being so great that the roads were blocked and the police had considerable difficulty inclearing ‘the way. Fifty ears or car- riages started, led by a pilotlandau steered by Harry Lawson. n S The landan was followed by Levassor's phaeton, which won the horseless carriaze race from Paris to Marseilies, and then came carriages of various styles, including Daunter -cars, buses, hansoms, American Duryes carriages, oil and steam motor cycles, etc. The spectators were verv enthusiastic and indaiged in uproaricus cheering as thé motors started. After the vehicles got clear of the crowd they went off ata fine’ pacé. The steéring was' admiravle, and when the carriages became blocked by the ordinary teaffic of the streets their pace was checked instantiv, The race was won by the American Duryea motor, which was the nrst to arrive at” Brighton. The distance'was covered in four hours, The cars arrived irregularly. The pro- cession which 1t was proposed to hola upon arrival of the cars was abandoned in consequence of a heavy iall of rain. s ON THE EASTERN TREACKS, Winners of Racing KEvents at Latonmia, Nashrilie, New Orleans and Pimlico.

His New Job and a Possible New Pacific Meamship Line. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 14.—A Times Boston special says: Captain Seccombe, who was in charge of the Cunarder Cepha- lonia when she went ashore off Holyhead on December 31; 1895, and lost his com- mand because of the accident, is now in the employ of B. P. Cheney in the express business. His salary 1s $3000, whereas he received but $1800--as captain of the Cephalonia. Captain Ssccombe has been fortunate because of the %relt number of friends he made among his passengers. How true this was came out at the dinner to_the captain May 26, when ex-Governor Rus- sell, the Mayor, Dr. Hale, James Phillips, 8. J. Elder, Dr. McKenzie and a host of others gathered to do him honor. - They gave him a loving cup as a tribute of affection. 1f Captain Seccombe’s new engagzement should finlny'lud to the establishment :: : :launc_l‘fi;: steamship nlllu, as has e nted with some significance, t! would all rejoice the more. o —— General Vincent to Retire, ‘WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 14.—Gen- eral Thomas M.

Advocates of Free Coinage Told to Keep Up the Agzitation Uatil Success Comes. LINCOLN, Nesr., Nov. 14.—An audience of ladies which packed the Funke Opera- house from pit to dome greeted W. J. Bryan thisafternoon, The address, which was brief, was given by invitation of the Mary Bryan Silver Club of Lincoln. Mr. Bryan congratulated the ladies on the part they had taken as the friendsof bimetallism, and expressed his heartfelt appreciation for the efforts made in his behalf. After referring to the campaign in a general way, the spesker said that emong the new things of this campaign was the speaking to audiences of those who counld not vote. But, he said, he liced to talk to women on political sub- jects. He referred pleasantly to the in- fluence of women ovér husbands. He would rather at the beginning of a cam- paign have the wife than the husband on his side. There was a chance then of getting both. Speaking of the tendency to keep out of politics because of fear of contamination, Mr. Bryan saida: “Politics is going to stay in this coun- try, because, although we ignore politics, we cannot get out of politics. We should prepare ourselves and our children so poli- ties mav be so pure that anybody can take part without being contaminated.” Mr. Bryan was warmly applauded throughout his address. He spoke thirty minutes, and at the conclusion he and Mrs. Bryan were occupied just an hour in shaking hands with the crowd. Under the auspices of the Lincoln Bi- metaliic Club, the local Traveling Men’s Bryan Club and what was known during the campaign as the Bryan Home Guards, William J. Bryan to-night delivered his first formal address since the election, sounding what is generally accepted as the keynote ot himself ana his followers in the campaign which ‘is to continue for the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver. Mr. Bryan was given a flattering recep- tion by the people of his home city. The meeting was held at the Funke Opera- house, which was crowded to the doors. Mr. Bryan was in good voice, and never in his many speeches before Lincoln audi- ences bas he spoken with greater vigor or earnestness, It was Bryan day in Lincoln, beginuing at 3 o’clock this afternoon, when the Democratic candidate spoke to ladies only, and concluaing shortly before 11 o’clock, when he conciuded his effort before a crowd which was unable to gain admit- tance to the opera-house and waited patiently for his appearance at Bohannon Hall. Mr. Bryan was loudly cheered when he made his first appearance this evening. He spoke deliberately and with emphasis, saying in part: Mr. Chairman, Fellow-citizens: I donot know that I can make myself heard for any length of time. My voice, which has served me well for several months, during which it has peen severely tried, is worse to-day than 1t has been at any time during the campaign. 1am proud of the supportof which Nebraska has given to the cause of bimetallism. I haye looked at the papers some since election. 1 have noticed ratifications and considerable enthusiam among the Republicaus, one Re- publican who has been prominent in the pre- cinets of the capitel for many years, who said he would rather have me elected for lile than to have the State go Populist. So that Ne- braska has done her duty well, and I am glad that in this conflict the State has been in many Tespects & pioneer, was not found wanting when ihe great test came. And I am proud of Laucaster County end Lincoln sna even of my own ward and precinet. [Laughter]. Some places where I have traveled I found that the quesiion was not who would be elect- ed President, but whether I could carry my own ward, and I have heard known public speakers who gave it as a conciusive proof of my unpopularity at home that I would not be able to carry my county, my city, my ward nor | even the precinct in which I live. They would never have time in the heatof the campaign to explain that this is the strongest Republican county in this State and the strongest Repub- lican eity in the couniry, and I think I live in the strongest Republican ward in the city. But, of course, there is so much to say that you herdly expect Republicans to take time to say everything tbat could be said in one speech, and, therefore, they always forgot to tell about the political eomplexion of Lan- caster County aud Lincoln and the Fifth Ward whenever they brag about the vote of that city, county and ward. But I am very grateful to my neighbors here for the support which they baye given. Notonly am I grateful to those who have voted at the polls, but I am grateful to those who bef ction day gave their tims and ore el contributed ail they could to make the vote as };r%le as possible, {Cheers. ] 1 have been proud when I came back to Lin- ©oin to meet the Bryan Home Guards and see the discipline and ‘good appearance which they always make when theygo out on a parade. [Renewed cheering.] AndIwant to say this, that while outside of this city I think it s well for the clubsthat are going to go on Wwith the work of bimetallism that they arop my name and take a name that is entirely im- personsl, so that the eause will not be con- nected with any person, because the cause: is greater than any person. [Cries of erl” We!l, Isay I think it is wise, outsiae of this or those Bryan clubs to cease to be Bryan clubs [renewed cries of “Never, never!”] ai become silver ciubs or bimetallic’ elubs, so there would be no jealousy; 6 no one could say this agitation was in_the interest of an person, but raiher thatall might recognize xyL #s i the interest of a great cause. 1 eay, while 1 belicve it is wise, outside of this city for my name to be dropped, and the clubs to £0 on under & more general name, yet in this city I would be proud to have the Bryan Home Guards retain their name. [Great cheering.] Lei me fit through with one proposition at s nlme. [ . ughw;. . m giad in t| own to have the veteran organization which bears my name retain that name in order that throughout this land, wherever the name of this organization may £0, IO MAN AN rise ana J that the soldiers of my home city are airaid to trust me. When in 1890 I was your candidate for Con- gress 1did not talk much about the silver question My plaiform declared for free sil- ver, but my op%oncnl was for free silver also, and therefore there was no contest. {Laugh- ter.] On that subject agreed, but that is the last time I have ever been able to get a Republican 1c Wwith me; that is the last Republican candidate against whom I have ran v:ho has agreed with me on the money question. % Well, now, I want tosay a word for the fu- ture. We have passed through this campaign and we have been deleated, and I want you to re..ember this, that ihere is not in this land a single advocate of free coinage whois not will- ing to abide the decision of the people with- out complaint. [Cheers.] You do not find umanf the .H:" men those who say, as a dis- tinguished blican 1 New York said, we may not abide the result. You do not find among the silver men per- sons who wili stand u}; and express doubi as to whether the will of the American people is supreme. Those people wio say that you find among the greai corporate interests of this connu?-, which are entrenched behind the Repub! ;;-n party and who tareaten not to abide tae decisior of ihe election unless they conld econtinue to represent the Amer- ican people. Among the men who called us snarchists you find the ones who hintedat possible means by which the wili of the peopie Could be defeated. I wm proud that in our ravks we had men who loved this form of gov- ernment, that no mater what thg}eople say they Fule, snd we bow to their supremacy. Bul, my friends, bowing to a decision, accept- iug without compiaint the resuit of an tion does not mean that we shall surrender our convictions or that in the future we Shall fignt with less earnestness than we have fought in the past. You must remember that in tne history of this Nation some party has always been defeatea, aud yot pariies have ot gone out of existence because of defeat, Remember that the Demoeratic party has lived for many years without ever haviag won & Presidential election, and it lived after it won a Presidential election and then failed to get the President elected—because it is the opinion of the Democrats of this Nation that uelJ. Tilden was elected Presicent, and yet the people who supported him were will- ng to abide by a decision of & tribunal insu- tuted for the purpose of settling that dispute: Isay the Democratic party has lived through deféat; the Republican party has lived through defeat; all parties have lived through defeat, 11 they had anything to live for, and when our opponeuts tell us that this defeat means the ennihilation ot those who believe in iree sil- ver, they take counsel of their hopes instead of their judgment. [Great cheering.] I be- lisve that we have made great progress in this campaign. We have not made the progress which we hoped to have made. We huve notachieved the results which we expected to achieve, but, my friends, the cause of bimetallism was stronger the day efier election than it wes at any day during the campaign. I want to say this—and your observai.on will bear out my remarks—that We went into this fight & disorganized army; we cameoutof it a fighting iorce that has never had a superior in_history. [Applause.] Now we have passed the stage oi argument. When you discuss public questions you pre- sent your arguments to the peo; They ask you why you believe in bimetailism or in the gold standard. You tell them. Youexplain 10 them. Yqu tell them what you believe each policy will do. They say that is prophecy. They may Tefuse to believe you, but when the time comes for acuon then the successful Pparty must put its policy into operation, and when those policies are in operation then you can judge the effect which they produce. 1f the Repubiican party can make thiscoun- try prosperous under the gold standard it will bave to reverse the laws of nature and give points to all the writers on political economy. [Applause.] If the Republican party can bring prosperity to this country by making money dearer, 1t will do what never has been done by any other party in &ny other country. But, my friends, see the arguments that expe- rience has to disprove. The Republicans went before the iaboring men and told them that low prices were grest blessings because their wages would go farther, and they went before the farmer and told the farmer that agricul- ture was depressed—and thet simply means prices were down—and that the gold standard und confidence—especially confidence [ap- r]luse and laughter] would restore prosperity nd restore prices 1o the farmer. Now, I want to suggest to those who are BOINg to continue the organization of these clups that they meet at stated times, say once & month or ac such times as the members of the club may -decide, and that at these meet- ings they discuss public questions. I believe that the public servant ought 1o live continu- ally under the eye of thie master whom he sérves. 1believe that the people, when they elect a man to office, should watch his every act and discuss his every vote and speech in order that they may know whether he isa man to be empioyed ‘in that business or not. [Applause.] And, therefore, Isay to you that these clubs can find ampie employment of their time if they will discuss irom month to month, rom meeting 1o meeting, the uarious questions which arise and inferest the Ameri- can people. You tell me tnis is agitation, 1 S8y 10 you that wher you go into a nation where ithere is no agitation of public ques- tions ameng the people you wil fiud a nation where a few can prey undisturbed upon all the rest of the people. [Applause.] Thomas Jefferson said a great truth when he said that free governmenti exisis in jealousy. and not in confidence, and that_confidence is everywhere the pareni of aespotism. He was right. Confldence is ihe parentof despotism and exists among the people. It is the oppor- tunity sought by the enemies of the peeple, and agilation among the people of every pub- lic question gives us more iutelligent citizen- ship, and more intelligent citizenship gives us better government. [Cheers.) I understand from the papers that the chair- man of the Republican National Committee has suggested that they will aiso keep up their organization. I am glad of it. 1 have never advised those who believed with me todo a single thing thatI would not advise my oppo- neuts to do, and when I adwised our people to keep organized and to keep discussing, 1ad- vise our opponents to do the same thing, be- cause }f the would discuss moreand think more tRere Poyld be less of them, Now, I would'iike to see all~the silver clubs in the couniry maintain their. organizations, have regular meetings, discuss these que- tions, and I would like to see ali the Republican organizations keep up and their meetings keep up, and then I would like 10 ses joint debates between our organizationsand theirs, because, my friends, if they can conyince our people that we are wrong we have no claim upon our people, and 1f we can convince them that we are right, then I think we will not only have a claim, but will successfully assert it. ‘[Applause.] At the conclusion of his opera-house ad- dress Mr. an was taken to Bohannon’s Hall, where another large crowd awaited Bhim. His speech it this place was virtu- i a1ly a-repetition of the first. r.

CHICAGO, Irt., Nov. 14 —The continu- ance of the National Democratic party’s organization in Illinois for ali pol purposes was unanimously decided upon to-day at an enthusiastic confereace at- tended by most of the members of the State Central Committee, those who were candidates on the State ticket and half a hundred other prominent gold Democrats, representing a score of cities throughout this State. The decision took the form of an address to the Democrats of Iilinois declaring tbat the National Democrai.c party is the only Democratic party and that its permanence wss therefore fixed and obligatory. The address states that the party’s transient antagonist is the free- silver arty, but its permanent antagonist is the epublican party, and concludes by claim- ing that a conservative estimate of the Illinois election returns shows over 100,000 Democrats voted against free silver. Permanent BState Leadquarters will be kept here, and the party intends to take an active part in the municipal election of Chicago, in the hope of crusuing the Dem- ocratic machine dominated by Governor Altgeld, especially 1f the Governor is nominated for Mayor. D. A. Goodrich of Chicago was elected chairman of the State Committee to succeed the late Charles A. Ewing of Decatur. GEE L U Pennsytvania’s Plurality.

President Cleveland wil/ Appoint the Naval Secretary Chief Justice of the Court of Claims. CHICAGO, Inn, Nov. 14—A special from Washington says: One of the family secrets of the Cleveland household is that Secretary of tbe Navy Herbert is to be nominated as Chief Justice of the Court of Claims to succeed Justice Richardson, deceased. The name of ex-Congfessman Bynum has been donspicnously mentioned for that office, but Secretary Harbert de- sires that appointment, and it is the opin- 10n of those who ought to know the Presi- dent’s wmind that the Secretary of the Navy will be nominated. Mr. Herbert was an original gold Democrat. In Con- gress before he was called into the Cleve- land Cabinet the Alabama statesmun was ovposed to free coinage. Men of his mone- tary predliections are not popular with Alabama Democrats now, and - the Secre- tary of the Navy has no désire to return there. Cleveland is anxious to relieve his Cabinet Minister of embarrassment. 2 g Was Peralta Shot as a spy? NEW YORK, N.
