gamma CABINET. Major McKinley Realizes That He Has a Hard Task 011 gland. A CONFERENCE OF LEADERS. Hanna. Osborne and Payne Discuss the Future of the Republican Organiza- tion—Bryan Formally Opens the Political Campaign of 1900. e CLEVELAND, Nov. 16.—National Repub- can Committeeman H. C. Payne, chair- man of the Chicago headquarters, arrived in the city from New York yesterday and with General W. M. Osborne of the New York headquarters, who came up from Clinton, held a long conference with Hon. M. A. Hanna in the latter’s private office in the Perry-Payne building. It is stated that among other subjects discussed was that of formulating plans in connection with the future of the Republican organi- zation. At the conclusion of the confer- ence General Osborne was asked by a. re- porter: ‘iHas Major McKinley commenced con— si éring cabinet possibilities?” _,“I guess that is about the only thing avitating his mind nowadays. He real- 1265 that he has a hard task on his hands.” “Would ex:President Harrison be ac- ceptable to the McKinleyites for the secre- tary of state portfolio?” ,“Most certainly, but I do not believe he WOuld accept it. His law partner has given it out 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 wants. The point is, Does he want anything? It may take Mr. McKinley un- til a week before his inauguration before he will have decided on the complete make- up of his cabinet.” “If the permanent headquarters of the organization goes to Washington, will you ”be in chargefa- “ The question of a. permanent head- quarters, as far as I know, has not yet been positively decided upon. The matter rests solely with Mr. Hanna. However, if Washington is chosen, I presume, as see- retaryof the national committee, I would probably be located there.” Bryan Opens the Next Campaign. LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 16.—-William Jen- nings Bryan formally opened the political campaign of 1900 here Saturday. He spoke to three meetings and received an ovation at each. In the afternoon Mr. Bryan ad- dressed an audience of 1,350 ladies, mem— ;bers of the Mary Bryan club, at the Funke theater.. He spoke upon the money ques- tion, assured his hearers that he bore no ill will to any one who differed from him and asked the ladies to carry in their hearts and to their homes this motto, “A government like ours, deriving its powers ' through and by the people, should be founded upon this one principle—equal rights to all and special privileges to none. ” In the evening Mr. Bryan delivered a brief address to an audience of 1,800, in- cluding the Traveling Men’s Bryan club, the Veterans and Bryan Home guards, at the Funke Opera House and later spoke a few minutes at an overflow meeting at Bohannan’s hall. His voice had practical- ly failed him at the afternoon meeting, and he had not sufficiently regained it to speak long. He was accorded a warm welcome and spoke very briefly and in gen eral terms of the necessity of carrying on the work of free silver education and of maintaining their various organizations. Mr. Bryan advised all clubs and organi- zations outside of Lincoln to drop his name and be known as bimetallists. This would eliminate all personal issues and leave them in better condition to do good work for the cause. He would be proud, h0w~ ever, to have the Lincoln city clubs named in his honor continue their designations. Georgia National Democrats.

A KENTUCKY PEUD, This Edition of It Finds Two Men Dead and Five Dying. ‘ PADUCAH, Ky, Nov. 16.——The Taylor- Shelby feud has been reopened. John Tay- lor and his son have paid their lives as a forfeit, and old man Shelby is, fatally wounded. Thetrouble was revived by one faction setting the dogs on the hogs of the other. This led to an altercation, and then fol- lowed the shooting, in which» old man Taylor was instantly killed and his boy so wounded that he died in a short time. Shelby will die also. Bad blood has ex— isted between the two families for some time, and there have been several out- breaks between the two factions. Old Mort~ Shelby is‘m uncle of Evan Shelby, who was lynched for the murder of Old Mrs. Moore some time ago. Mort himself was once convicted as an accessory to the murder, but on another trial was acquitted. Ever since this trial the two families have been at daggers’ points and have gone constantly armed, ready to shoot on the least provocation. It is thought that there will be more bloodshed before the matter quiets down. The two families live on adjoining farms. THE FRENCH SUGAR BILL. Rejected by the Customs Committee'of‘ the Chamber of Deputies. PARIS, Nov, 16.—The customs commit- tee of the chamber of deputies has rejected the government’s sugar bill. By the terms of this bid, which was pro- posed on Oct. 24, it was tplanned to add a tax of 2% francs ‘to the excise duties on sugar used for home consumption, the funds derived in this manner to be applied to the granting of an export bounty of 2% francs for refined sugars and raw sugars yielding 98 percent and 1% francs for raw sugars yielding from 65 to 90 per cent. Itwas decided by the customs commit- tee to propose a compromise measure pro- viding for the granting of bounties which will not be borne exclusively by refiners, consumers or growers of sugar. WIRE AND NAIL TRUST. It “’1“ Cut Prices and Drive Small Com- petitors Out of Business. CLEVELAND, Nov. 16.——A man who is familiar with the affairs of the Wire and Nail trust says a drop in the price of nails is likely to come soon. The sharp increase within the past two years has led to the starting of numerous small factories to compete with the trust, and this man says the trust will drive these competitors out of the field by cutting prices. He predicts a drop from $2. 60, the pres- ent price, to $1.75. At the latter figure, he says, the trust can make money, be- cause it manufactures its own wire, but the small factories, which buy their wire from other mills cannot do business at a profit at the figure named. Depew Is “'illing'. LONDON, Nov. 16.——The possible ap- pointment of Dr. Chauncey M. Dcpcw to succeed Mr. Bayard as American embassa- dor to Great Britain is hailed here with much satisfaction.
