W., WASHINGTON, Scpt 20.—During the discussion of national questions by the Cabinet at its meeting to-day, President Roosevelt inquired of Secretary Root as condition of Cuban affairs. moment the President put this inquiry to Mr. Root, Brigadier General Wood, gov- ernor general of Cuba, was in the public reception room of the White House await- ing an opportunity to see the President and Secretary of War because of the President’s desire to familiarize himself with developmen*s in many questions, and the consideration given to Cuba was nec- essarily brief. Enough was sald by Mr. Roosevelt, however, to show that it is his rpose to give Cuba her independence with the same promptness President Mc- Kinley would have observed. Good News for Cubans. “The Call can say positively,” a mem- ber of the Cabinet said after the adjourn- of that body, “that President evelt does not propose to place any obstacles in the way of Cuban independ- ence.

Sheppard’s resignation follows recent changes in the management of the road, as The Call predicted a few weeks ago. When C. H. Markham, who was formerly general freight agent at Portland, was | elevated to the position of assistant to | Freight Traffic Manager William Sproule | the word went round the yellow building’ that Sheppard’s days were numbered. At that time Sheppard was deep in negotia- tions with the Pacific Improvement Com- any. He knew that with the change of proprietorship in the Southern Pacific Company many upheavals would oceur, and he began at an early date to make sure of a safer and befter berth. The mission to the State Con. | change is a more desirable one both from a few weeks. s ottt e b el @ BOERS CAPTURE MORE BRITISH Kitchenér Reports Loss of Mounted Men and Guns. ' LONDON, Sept. 20.—Lord Kitchener re- | ports that the Boers have captured a | company of mounted infantry and two | guns at Viakfontein. One officer was | killed. The Boers in supeflor’fo}l:ce su:- the British. Lord Kitchener is 2:1’(\11}6. strict investigation and has sent columns of troops in pursuit of the Boers. The Gazette this afternoon announces that on the disbandment of Lord Strath- | cona’s Canadian corps twenty-nine officers have been granted honorary rank in the British army corresponding with their present rank. The list commences with the name of Lieutenant Colonel Steele, the commander of Strathcona’s horse in South Africa, who becomes an honorary lieutenant colonel in the regular army. The succession of ‘‘regrettable incl. dents” which Lord Kitchener has report- ed has evoked editorial counsels to the Government to cease to endeavor to w-ge war by proclamation and to recognize the need of crushing the Boers by force of arms. No news has as yet been recelved that the Boers have liberated the prisoners re- cently captured, and according to Boer circles in Brussels Commandant General Botha intends o hold the 150 British pris- oners as hostages against the carrying out of the terms of Lord Kitchener's proc- lamation. The Dally Chronicle to-day finds great satisfaction in an alleged authoritative statement from its Washington corre- spondent, to which it gives great prom- inence, that President Roosevelt {s not pro-Boer in his sentiments and will main- fain President McKinley's policy with re- ard to Bouth Africa. ‘Therefore,”” says the Chronicle, “any trusting to a chapter of accidents, so far as the United States is concerned, on the part of the Boers will be doomed to dis- appointment.” Bell a Brigadier General. WASBHINGTON, Sept. 20.—The Presi- dent has appointed Colonel James L.

The Pacific Improvement Company represents Stanford, Crocker, Hopkins and Huntington interests, for whom I have been working for many years.

In the words of one of the local officers the ax is still swinging. The old men feel that the work of years has counted for noth- ing and the present and the future is all they are looking to. It seems that with the resignation of Hays there will be no immediate succession even to his office. With a general trafic manager looking out for the interests of all the Harriman syndicate roads the presidents, such as 's of the Southern Pacific'and Burt of the Union Pacific, are mere figureheads. The general manager of the operating departments assumes practical control un- der this new order of things. Mr. Sheppard will leave for Victoria in His family will go with him. MONGOL HORDE ITTACKS A CITY Battles With Soldiers at the Walls of Chimo. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Sept. 20.—The steamship Clavering brings news of a battle that took place early in September at the city of Chimo, China, between Chinese troops and 40,000 natives, who were determined not to pay the indemnity taxes recently levied. The populace decided that the new taxation was too heavy and asked for a reduction. The mandarin of Chimo declined to comply. An ultimatum was sent to him to the effect that if he did not make the desired reductions the pe- ple of the surrounding country would storm the city. The mandarin made great preparations for defense, fortifying the gates of the city with plank and stone and posting all the soldiers at his com- mand on the city walls, | Ellard Beans, Mrs. O. MAG.

Beautiful Array of Floral Pieces Gives Her Pleasure. — Military Guard Will Be Main- tained at the Grave in Can- ton for Ninety Days. RIS I CANTON, O., Sept. 20.—Shortly after noon to-day Mrs. McKinley expressed a desire to be taken to the cemetery. This request was readily acceded to by Dr. Rixey, who, with an attendant, escorted her to a closed carriage. They were ac- compani=d by Mrs. Barber. At the semetery a crowd which quickly gathered sbout the carriage was dispersed by the soldiers on-duty, and Mrs. Mc- Kinley was driven over the lawn directly in front of the vault. The military guard save a formal salute. When she saw the beautiful array of floral pleces, Mrs. Mc- Kinley expressed gratification, but was apprehensive lest injury be done to her husband’s body. The military guard will be maintained ninety days, at the expira- tlon of which time the body will be placed in the vault and locked up. “I am haplgy over the effect of the drive,” said Dr. Rixey, when the party returned to the house.” “Mrs. McKinley is much better, and I have finally achieved success in getting her to take an interest in_affairs going on 'in Canton. She asked many questions while riding, and seemed in good spirits.” SAN JOSE TO ERECT McKINLEY MONUMENT Citizens Take Hold of the Project En- thusiastically and Subscrip- tions Are Pouring In. SAN JOSE, Sept. 20.—The suggestion made yesterday at the memorial services by Father Kenna that a monument should mark the exact spot where President Mc- Kinley addressed the multitudes in this city last May has met with popular ap- proval and subscriptions are pouring in.

A mass-meeting of citizens was held to- night to make arrangements for the move- ment. There was a good attendance, and addresses were delivered by prominent men. At first it was believed a monument to cost $10,000 would be erected, but so unanimously have the peop) responded that now it is belleved between $20,000 and $30,000 will be raised. Subscriptions are to be opened throughout the county, and cvery man, woman and child will be given a chance to contribute, The following committee was named to take charge of the project: .

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.—Sorrow over the death of President McKinley has had a marked effect on persons suffering from nervous and brain diseases and increased the number of cases of insanity. This condition was reflected in the court for the insane at the Detention Hospital to-day. Forty-four men and women were brought into the court. County Physician Hunter said: “Every calamity which plunges the pop- ulation into sadness has a most depress- ing effect upon persons suffering from nerve and brain troubles and resuilts in insanity. These attacks in many instances are acute in character, but yield to treat- ment.” ‘Wreck on Northern Pacific.

NAPA, Sept. 20.—Amos Lunt, the man who as hangman in San Quentin prison placed the noose about the necks of up- ward of a score of condemned murderers and who lost his reason through brooding over the grewsome tragedies in which he played a leading role, passed away this morning in the Napa State Hospital for the Insane. Lunt had been confined in the institution for more than a year. He was a physical and mental wreck. The last execution at which the hang- man officlated was that of George W. Clark, who killed his brother in St. He- lena three years ago. It was Lunt who sent Durrant, the murderer of Minnie Willlams and Blanche Lamont, through the trap of the San Quentin gallows. Lunt first showed evidence of failing reason some months before his incarcera- tion in the asylum. He complained that he was haunted .by the faces of the wretches he had sent into eternity. Though he had amassed a fair compet- ence, he found no enjoymegt in life, and finally constant brooding robbed him of reason entirely and he was sent to the State Hospital hopelessly insane. ‘Wedding Rites in Napa.

W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Marquis Ito of Japan is en route to the United | States for the double purpose of meeting the President and other prominent Amer- lcans and of benefiting his health. He will arrive at Seattle about October 4, and after a short stay in the West will come East. He is accompanied by four men, who were formerly in the Japanese official service. Speaking of Marquis Ito’s prospective visit Kogoro Takahira, the Japaness Min- | ister, sald: “Marquis Ito's achievements as Premier of Japan in recent vears are well known to the American public and there is little to add to their information. While trying to introduce western improvements the Government had to make radical caanges internally. Questions had to be settled with regard to the abolition of tke clan system and princes and their retainers had to be placated. A method had to be deyised for meeting necessary expenses. ‘‘Marquis Ito, who was not more than thirty years old, was at that time As- sistant Minister of Finance. He came to the United States, studied the American financial system and upon his return to Japan organized {its finances after the method followed in this country.” —_— WILLIAMS, Ariz., Sept. 20.—The Santa Fe Pacific has comfleted its line to the Grard Canyon.

The train bearing President Roosevelt and the mem- bers of the Cabinet arrived at the Penn- syivania station at 9:20 o’clock and fifteen | mittutes later the President entered the White House and going at once to the celevator proceeded to the Cabinet room, where President McKinley was wont to do the greater part of his work. When the new chief executive reached the White House he walked briskly to the big doer, which swung wide open to admit him. He spoke pleasantly as he passed to the watchman and other employes of the mansicn, and reaching his office was joined almost immediately by Secretary ng, who did not go to Canton to take part in the funeral ceremonies. Session of the Cabinet. At 11 o'clock all the members of the Cabinet had arrived at the White House and soon_were seated around the familiar table. - President Roosevelt occupied a seat at its head and in the chair long oc-~ cupied by his predecessor. The gloom and solemnity which characterized the meeting was not unbefitting the occasion. Nearly all the members of the present Cabinet are quite sure to remain during Mr. Roosevelt's term, but it i3 very prob- able that Secretary Long will retire with- in the next few months. He feels that he can resign without embarrassment to Mr. Roosevelt and therefore it is thought that he will, during the next few months, ask the President to permit him to enter private life. The Cabinet was In session about an hour and a half, all of the time being spent 1o a general review of the more important questions which will require the attention of the new President. All of the members were present ex- cept Attorney General Knox, who stopped for a few days in Pittsburg. BEach mem- ber explained to the President the policy which had been followed in dealng with the matters under consideration acd their present status. Confidence in Roosevelt. The members subsequently expressed themselves as having full confidence in Mr. Roosevelt's ability to give the coun- try a strong and conservative administra- tion, and he will have their loyal support to the same degree as they gave it to the late President. Rt is thought that Tuesdays and Fridays will be selected by the new President as the Cabinet days, following in this the preferénce of Mr. McKinley. About 1:30 o'clock, shortly after the con- clusion of the Cabinet meeting, Presi- dent Roosevelt left the White House to 80 to the residence of his sister, the wife of Commander Cowles of the navy, for luncheon. . Disdaining a carriage he walked swiftly and alone. No one had known when he would leave his office and as he passed briskly out of the grounds of the executive mansion he attracted little attention. scarcely anybody recog- nizing him. He crossed Fennsylvania avenue into Lafayette Square and thence up Sixteenth street to his destination. In the course of an hour and a half he re- turned to the White House, still alone, and still walking.
