WASHINGTON. Nov. 1l.-rr.-si.lcnt
llcKinlcy litis announced clcnriy ami
forcefully In the nicinlicr of hi cnliliiel
his desire tlint they should nil irtmiin
Vith blm during the four yours of his
oni'iiitf nilminiKtrntiou. His wishes were
made Known in im extended speech ut t he
caliluot meeting in the White limine yes
tcriliiy. Kcsponses were made by nil of
the liieinliers present, and while there
were no definite pleilk'es from nny of
them that they would accept the port
folios thus tendered I here was, on the
other hand, no definite declination.
The proceeding sots forth the wishes
of the president in -the matter nnd re
lievos the niemlierii of the cabinet of the
customary obligation of tendering their
rcsinnulions at the end of the term unless
they huve made an iwrevocable decision
that it will be impossible for them to
continue In oliiee. It also sets at rest all
peculation nnd slntetunkinis of the coun
try's political prophets, for it is under
stood Kcnerally that there is but one
doubtful l'uotor iu the lfc.inokronoity of the
present cabiuet. That factor Is Attorney
General (.iiijrus, as he holds his present
position at a great financial sncrilicc.
Still, Mr. GriitKs replied in terms of
narm appreciation to the complimentary
remarks of the president anil voiced no
inteutiou of retiring from his present po
it iou.
Secretary Hoy was the first to respond.
He said thut for his part he deeply ap
preciated the complimentary ref.ences
waile by his chief and that he thought
there was not a member of the cabinet
who would sever such pleasant ollleial re
lations without regret, and even then on
ly iu case of the most urgent reasons for
retirement.
Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitchcock.
Wilson. Attorney General Griggs nnd
Postmaster General Smith eneh spoke in
turn aud in much the same vein. Secre
tary Hoot was the only absent member
from the meeting, having left to look
over military affairs and to recuperate
from his long and serious illness. The
list of responses, therefore, was all but
complete. It is known that Secretary
Root is in much the same position as At
torney General Griggs, holding his posi
tion at considerable financial sacrifice,
bat willing at the same time to sacrifice
a good deal to comply with the expressed
wishes of the president.
The meeting, which had developed into
real love feast, then returned to the
more commonplace affairs of routine busi
ness and the discussion of the salient
features of the president's coming mes
sage to congress, after which the mem
bers' left with renewed expressions of re
gard. The meeting stands as one of the
most remarkable cabinet sessions on rec
ord. Senator Davis Dangerously HI.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 11. The grave com
plications disclosed by the bulletin issued
by the physicians iu attendance upon
&enaltr C. K. Davis have greatly de
pressed his family aud friends, who had
hitherto been hopeful of a favorable out
nine of his prolonged illness. His wife,
Lis aged parents and two sisters, who are
iu constant attendance upon him, now
fully realize the probability of u fatal re
salt and that at no distant time. A state
ment made by a close friend of the fami
ly says: "lrs. Stone and Lankester Mon
day discovered evidences of ltright's dis
ease. Up to thut time no organic kidney
trouble had been disclosed. Upon this
discovery it was thought best to acquaint
lr. Murphy of Chicago of the-changed
conditions and to bring him here for an
other consultation. Ir. Murphy arrived
today and corroborated the statement of
dortors.

to Secretary Gage the nnntinl report on
the operations nnd condition of the treas
ury, remarks that the growth and pros
perity of the country and the general ac
tivity of business are rcllected in the
transactions of his ollice. The net ordi
nary revenues of the government for
the fiscal year were ?rii7.1! l".s"-. the
largest in the history of the country, ex
cwding those of IHliO, the next highest,
by $47,1M1.USS. The Increase of ?."1.JSI.
over the preceding year was contrib
uted to from all general sources, but
chiolly, of course, from customs nnd in
ternal revenue. On the side of expendi
tures there was a net decrease of If 117.
3JW.3S.N In comparison with IN'.M). so that
the deficiency of $sn,H 1,5110 for that
year was converted into surplus of $"!',
027,0(10 in l'.MM). The gross recepits un

of the public debt, were $l.:W7.,Jim.,Ji;i
nnd the disbursements $1.1!).".!1 111,472, a
large increase on both sides over the pre

timated nt $2,11H.204.!lS'l, an increase of
$l.NO.M0,744 in 13 months, of which $!4,
440.1W0 was due to the enlarged use of
gold and gold certificates. 1 nc increase
per capita was from $2o.3H to $27.01.
The per capita of gold at the latter date
was $10.00, which is greater than that
of all the currency In 1S02, while the to

The increasing demand for notes of small

so fully met by the department that, tak

timated total circulation of $2,113,21)4,
HS3 on Oct. 1. only $4211.045,022 was in

OUR CRIPPLED NAVY.
trim-lit Need For More OUlcers and
Men.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The star
tling statement is made iu the report of
Admiral Crowuinshield, chief of the nav
igation bureau, that the present per
sonnel of the navy would form barely
one-fourth of the total establishment
necessary to fight a first class Euro
pean power. It barely sulliced for the
Spanish-American war and no longer
can be considered, the report says, as nil
effective nucleus about which a larger
establishment could be formed in cuse
of war.
The admiral regards this need of the
navy for officers and men as most urgent.
The ndmiral severely criticises the in
effective effort of congress at the lust
session to meet immediate needs for oili
cers by authorizing the employment uf
ret fl ed ollicers, and he demands the im
mediate repeal of that act. He claims
that the retired list, intended as a re
ward for faithful service, otherwise be
comes a hardship and a punishment. The
personnel act thus fur lias resulted iu
ufTordiug less ollicers than were on thu
active list before its passage, as, while
authorizing an increase, it failed to pro
vide the means therefor, so there ore
now 131 vacancies iu the list of naval
officers when vacancies can be least afforded.
Development of the Aniwoniln nnd

One of llrentest In the World.
NKW YOltK, Nov. M.-Mnrcus Dnly,
the copper king, whose wealth is estimat
ed at between $40,000,000 aud $50,000.
U0O, Is dead in the Hotel N"therland.
He will lie buried from the mince he
reared at 725 Fifth nvenue nnd which
he never had occupied. It was his am
bition to have the handsomest home
along the highway of wealth. It will ho
his temporary tomb.
Marcus Daly whs born In June, 1S40,
iu County Cnvnn, near ItallyjatnesdulT,
Ireland. He entile to this city wlieu only
13 and lived for two years in Itrooklyn.
Then lie went west.
The development of the copper mining
properties is one of the most interesting
romances of (lie rapid creation of wealth
in the Uockies. Somewhere back iu the
seventies two miners named llickcy, who
came from St. Lawrence county, N. Y.,
began to sink a shaft on a hill overlook
ing the little mining en tup of Itutte.
Kdwnrd llickcy remembered n seiiteucn
he luid read in one of Horace Greeley's
editorials when he nnd his brother were
living on their New York state farm, a
sentence about McClellau's army closing
in iirouud Hicliuiond like a huge anacon
da, aud he gave the name of the big
snabu to the new hole in the ground. A
fairly promising vein of silver wns
struck, but the Hickeys had no mouey
to go ou with the mine and wanted to
sell it.
A stalwart young Irish miner named
Marcus I inly had been noticed about
the camp for some time. He would
work iu a initio for a week or two nnd
then call for his time, saying that he had
the rheumatism and wanted to lay off
for awhile. Then he would get a job In
nnother mine und again quit after u
short spell of work.
This young innn had been sent out to
Itutte by J. I). Hnggin of California to ,
pick up some good mining properties,
unci he bought the Anaconda for his prln-
cipal for $35,000.
Daly was superintendent nnd part
owner. He showed himself to be a man
of great business capacity and of mas- 1
terfnl teuiper. He developed the mine, '
bought adjacent mines on the copper ,
vuiu, and, wanting a place to reduce
and smelt his ores where water and
wood were plentiful, he founded the
town of Anaconda in a valley some 25
mill's uwny and there established the :
greatest copper plant in the world. !
He wus not sutistied with the rates the
Montana Union railroad charged him
for transporting his ores, so he built a
parallel road from Butte to Anaconda.
The Auiiconda now produces one-fourth
of the entire, copper output of the globe.
Duly .was worth many millions in his
own rlgnt. ills only extrnvagance was
his passion for fine horses.
