Examining the Lee Bomb.
Havana, Dec. 17.-—The bomb which
was left in the building where the
United States Consulate is located is
being examined by an expert, but he
has not yet determined what explosive
it was filled with. In fact, it may not
have been dangerous at all, but simply
placed where-it was for the purpOSe of
attempting to frighten Consul-General
Lee. , '
The bomb was a‘. short tube, cleverly
made and filled, and inclosed in a
small wooden box with a draw lid. To
all appearances, it was so made inside
that when the lid was drawn it would
ignite specially prepared matches at-
tached to a quick fuse. This is the
second bomb placed in the Consulate
building, but the first was clumsy and
harmless. ' ,
Griggs Awaits McKennn’n Fate.

should make the State appointments,
is denied. A prominent Jerseyman said
there would not be a conference, and
none was necessary. ‘
Gov. Griggs’name, he said, would
not be sent until Mr. McKenna was
confirmed by the Senate as Supreme
Court Justice, and Gov. Griggs would
make all appointments up to the time
he resigned.

Steamship Leaves New York with
535 Passenger. for Frozen North.
New York, Dec. III—The steamship
City of Columbia sailed yesterday at-
ternoon from the Old Dominion pier or.
a voyage to the Yukon, the new prom-
ised lan of wealth in the frozen re-
gions of Alaska. She carried 535 pas-
sengers, of whom about sixty were
women. ‘
The voyage is the first to be attempt-
ed from the Atlantic seaboard, and as
a natural sequence much interest at-
taches to it. Over 19,000 miles is to be
traversed, and, if no. accident occurs to
prevent, the City of Columbia will be
the first ship to traverse the seas al—
most from the Antartic to the Arctic
I Z0116. ’
The ship is manned by a picked crew
of seventy men. Every one of them is
an able seaman. The commander.
Capt. Ezekiah C. Baker, is a famous
mariner.
The first stop will be at Montevideo.
Then she will touch Valparaiso, and
no other ports will be visited until
Seattle, W’ash., is reached: From Seat-
tle the Columbia will sail for the mouth
of the Yukon, where the passengers
will be landed.
"We have had applications for over
four: thousand berths,” said Capt.
Baker, “and double rates were offered,
providing I would agree to take them
aboard. We have only accommoda-
tions for 535 passengers, and therefore
the agents only booked that number
for the trip.”
The female contingent is headed by
Mrs. Hannah Gould, of 250 West Twen-
ty-seco'nd street. The party is com-
posed of trained nurses, missionaries
and women of means, who intend to in-
vest money in the mines. Mrs. Gould
intends to build a. hospital and a mis-
sion house in Dawson City, to be man-
aged by members of her party. She is
enthusiastic over the project, and be-
lieves that she will be hailed as a Sa—
maritan by the miners in the isolated
regions of the Yukon.
CABINET FIXES SOCIAL DATES.
Ofliciul Dinners and Receptions
Postponed.
V’ashington, Dec. 17.—The agreement
in Congress to adjourn for the holidays
on Saturday next, somewhat earlier
than the President expected, was the
basis of 'a special Cabinet meeting at
the White House yesterday. It was
the first chance that the President had
had to talk with his advisers since his
mother’s fatal illness began, and, as
he wished to dispose of business re-
lating to the legislative branch before
the adjournment for the holidays, the
meeting was called to get these things
in shape for transmission to the House
and Senate.
Reports from the various Cabinet
ofiicers were considered at the meeting
and it was agreed to send: them to
Congress at once. The President also
asked the opinion of the Cabinet in re-
gard to some appointments which he
wishes to make Without delay.
One of the purposes of the meeting
was to consider whether there should
be any change in the social programme
for the White House on account of
Mrs. McKinley’s death. It was decided' ‘
official,» "
to postponefor a month all
events of a society nature, and not to
hold the New Year’s reception with
which the official season is usually in-
augurated. The programme was
changed so as to postpone the various
events uxitil the folowing dates:

Oppose Civil-Service Laws and Are
Opposed to Currency Reform.
Washington, Dec. 17.-—A caucus of
the Populist members of the House of
Representatives was held at the Na-
tional Hotel last night. The following
resolutions were adopted unanimously,
except that referring to civil service:
“Resolved, That it is the sense of
this caucus that we will resist all ef-
forts to so modify the existing civil-
service laws as to enable any party
that may be in power to fill the dif-
ferent positions in the civil service
with partisans.
“Resolved, That we are opposed to
and will resist all efforts to destroy
our greenbacks and Treasury notes,
whether it be by direct legislation or
by the subterfuge of refusing to reissue
the same except in exchange for gold;
"Resolved, That we are opposed to
any scheme of enlarging the powers
of national banks; that we oppose the
conferring of the power to issue notes
designed to have the same function as
money to any bank, corporation or in-
dividual. ' ”
“Resolved, That we favor the early
consideration and passage of a joint
resolution recognizing the belligerency
of the Cuban- Republic.
“Resolved, That we are in favor of
the early passage of an equitable vol-
untary bankruptcy bill."
