THE M’IIINLEY CABINET ~

Names of the President’s Official Fain-
ily Sent to Senate.

EXECUTIVE :SESSION HELD.

Mark Hanna Sworn In—Floral Offerings
For the New Members and a Large
Crowd In Attendance to Welcome
Them to Their Honors.

WASHINGTON, March 6.—-The opening
proceedings of the first session of the Fifty-
flfth congress were witnessed today by a
very large assemblage of spectators in the
galleries of the senate chamber. The sen-
ate was today without the legislative part-
nership of the house of representatives.

The Republican side of the chamber
looked as though the contents of a conserv-
atory had been deposited in it. FIOWers
had been placed on the desks of numerous
senators who had taken the oath, of oflice
yesterday as well as on that of Vice Presi—
dent Hobart. Among the senators so dis-
tinguished were Forakcr (0.), Spoonei
(Wis), Penroso (Pa. ), Platt (N. Y.) and
Fairbanks (Ind.).

The Democratic side of the chamber was,

free from flowers. Senator Wolcott (Rep,
Colo), back from his European travel in
the interest of an international monetary
conference, was in his place and received
greetings from his associates. As soon as
the journal of yesterday’s formal meeting
was read the senator from Ohio, Mr. Fora-
ker, rose and presented the credentials 01
Mr. Hanna as successor to Mr. Sherman,
resigned.

The credentials were read. They were
dated at Columbus, 0., March 5, 1897, and
recited that, by reason of the resignation
of Mr. Sherman as senator from the state
of Ohio, there waso vacancy which (the
legislature not being in session) the gov-
ernor was authorized to fill. He had ap»
pointed Marcus Hanna of Cuyahoga coun-
ty, 0., to fill it from today until a succes-
sor be elected and qualified.

The credentials having been read, Vice
President Hobart invited Mr. Hanna. to
come forward, and the new senator took
the oath of office.

President McKinley sent to the senate
the following nominations:

Secretary of state, John Sherman 01
Ohio; secretary of the treasury, Lyman
J. Gage of Illinois; secretary of war,
Russell A. Alger of' Michigan; attorney
general, Joseph McKenna of Califor-
nia; postmaster general, James A. Gary of
Maryland; secretary of the navy, John D.
Long of Massachusetts; secretary of the
interior, Cornelius N. Bliss of New York;
secretary of agriculture, James Wilson of
Iowa. The nominations were promptly
confirmed.

The galleries were crowded at today’s
session to their utmost capacity, and many
people stood on the outside from early
morning anxious to secure admission,
though disappointed in that respect to the
end. The diplomatic gallery was the only
exception. None of the seats in this gal-
lery was occupied today.

Chief Justice of Samoa.

WASHINGTON, March 6.—William L.
Chambers of Alabama has been chosen by
the three powers a party to the Samoan
agreement as chief justice of Samoa, to
succeed Mr. Ide of Vermont. Mr. Cham-
bers was one of the land commissioners for
the United States in the settlement oi
Samoan land titles.

Americans In Cuba.

WASHINGTON, March 6. —Secretary Olney
today received the following cablegram
from Consul General Lee at Havana:

“All quiet. No excitement here now. 1
hope to secure prompt trial of all Ameri-
cans imprisoned. rl‘hose found innocent
to be released, and those guilty sent out of
island.”

An Hour In Icy “’ater.
SARATOGA, March 6. —-W. J. McNeary
and Henry Ernst of Saratoga Springs, H.
,W. Vossmarbaumer, William Meisinger
and Albert Thichen of Troy were seated in
a double sleigh at Saratoga lake, when the
ice gave way and the team and sleigh sank
in 40 feet of water. The men clung to the
ice for an hour and were almost exhausted
before rescuers could extricate them.
