Epecial Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Feb, 15.—President Me- Kinley to-day announced to the Cabinet that he had under conzideration the name of Philander C. Knox of Pittsburg for At- torney General, to succeed Attorney Gen- eral Griggs. It Is understood that Knox has been offered this Cabinet place and may accept it. He is one of the prominent lawyers of Pittsburg and has been attor- ney for Andrew Carnegie. He is not in politics, but i1s a friend of Senator Quay, entirely acceptable to both Pennsylvania Senators. * As it would be unusual for the President to have two members of his Cabinet from one State and that the most rock-ribbed Republican State in the Union, the ques- tion arises as to what will become of Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, who hafls from Philadelphia. Mr. Smith has been ambitious to hold one of the more important Cabinet places, and there has been gossip concerning his possible Succession of Hay as Secretary of State, or Root as Secretary of War. But with another Pennsslvanlnn in the Cabinet. and Senator uay again dominating Pennsylvania politics and not friendly to Smith, it is a serious question whether he will remain In the Cabinet. e —— ] INTERESTS THE COAST.

BERLIN, Feb. 15. learns from a thoroughly source that General von Worden, for- merly German Embassador to the Russian court, will soop leave for St. Petersburg | on a special diplomatic mission. The newspaper states that this mission is in- tended to remove certain misunderstand- ings caused by the Kaiser's recent visit to England. During the debate on the third reading | of the China bill in the Reichstag to-day the Minister of Wadr, General von Goss- ler, replying to Herr Bebel's attacks on the conduct of the troops in China and Field Marshal Count von Waldersee's methods of warfare, said Herr Bebel's statements were without foundation. He sald that when Herr Bebel asserted that a Prussian sergeant major could have ter conducted the campaign than Fle Marsbal von Waldersee he displayed ex- traordinary ignorance of the circum- stances and _country. They ought to be gratetul to Field Marshal von that with his devotion to duty and high intelligence he had accepted the position intrusted to him by the Emperor and had established a certain amount of order in China. The troops also deserved well of their country. There existed in China a factof$ of lies. Field Marshal von Wal- dersee had reported that the conduct of the war at the commencement was more cruel than it would have been In Europe because of the atrocities of the Chinese, but since Ms arrival he had endeavored to check the cruelty and protect peace- ble people. General von Gossler contin- a ued: ‘Only a few serious offenses have been committed by the troops, and the cruel men have invariably been punished. The ! English and French representatives have acknowledged the correet behavior of the German troops. It is difficult to under- stand how a German Deputy could slur German troops, who are oing thelr duty under difficult circumstances.” The bill passed its third reading.

ASTORIA, Ore., Feb, 15,—The laboring men of the Northwest ate viewing with jalarm the encroachments of the Japanese and there is a gengral effort on foot to prevent the employment of theOrientals. Some time ago it was announced that a sawmill, to be operated.solely by Japs. would be started in this city, and the mill employes were at once got into.the Fed- erated Trades. Restaurant employes likewise joined the union as a precaution is after- ! ness of the white men by the cheap Jap- anese eating places, which do a thriving business with the poorer classes. The Astoria Labor Council of the Feder- ated Trades has now turned its attention | to the Japanese employed as section | hands on.the rallroads, and at a recent meeting determined.to boycott the Astoria and Coiumbia River Railroad Company unless that corporation discharges the Japanese employed by it. The local union | Includes in its membership nearly every workingman in Astoria, and is strong enough to compel respect for its wishes. ‘Whether or not the railroad company will | comply with the demand cannot be stated | as yet, as formal notice will not be served | on the officlals for a few days. Should the railroad company refuse to discharge its Japanese employes, there will be a cholce variety of local boyeotts ! on. At present the people of this city are boycotting the Oregon Railroad and Navi- gation Company for its refusal to extend common point rates to Astoria, and not a_pound of freight is being received or shipped by local merchants except a few of the sawmills, over the lines of the Ore- | gon Ralilroad, In consequence the Astoria ailroad and the White Collar line of steamboats have been getting the busi. ness, the boycott extending aiso to the Kamm line of steamers. Should the trades union people boycott the local rail- road company, all the busin ,of this section will go to the White Collar lige, which has always been friendly to As- toria. | YURON COUNCIL SENDS | MEMORIAL TO PARLIAMENT Asks That Many Important Changes Be Made in Laws of the Gold District.
