CABINET MEMBERS UNEASY.
FORMER EMDEXCES OF CORDIAL
FEELING ARE ABSENT.
Many Rumor* Concerning: Prospec
tive Chancre*. AH of Which Seem
to Be Without Definite Founda
tion—Uae and Hitchcock Said to
Be Slated for the Guillotine and
Allison of lowa Talked of for a
Place in the Presidential Family.
Washington, Nov. 21.—Again the po
litical atmosphere is enveloped in A
dense tog of rumors concerning pros
pective changes in President Roose
velt's cabinet. Inquiries at the White
House and confidential talks with
members of the President’s official
family fail to reveal any substantial
foundation for these reports, so per
sistently and circumstantially made
by persons who claim to have well
grounded authority for their state
ments. There is no doubt but what a
strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon President Roosevelt, in the
interests of more than one man, who
is anxious to occupy a seat at the cabi
net table. It is possible that the per
sonnel of the cabinet may undergo a
change before the new year dawns, but
from the information I have I do not
regard It as probable.
While the relations bteween the
President and the members of his cab
inet do not appear to be the least bit
strained, it is not difficult to appreci
ate the fact that the same conditions
do not exist In the cabinet room now
which prevailed during the Mcl£|nley
administration. There is no lack of
friendly feeling or party loyalty, but
there seems to be an indefinable some
thing in the actions of the members
of the cabinet whiuh indicates an un
easiness. an unrest or an over-cautious
ness which was not so perceptible six
months ago. Under their former chief
members of the cabinet would enter
the White House on cabinet days,
laughing and chatting together in the
most free and easy manner. Now they
approach the cabinet table, solemn and
deliberate, suggesting a group of pre
viously merry school boys, trying to
make a dignified impression on anew
master.
While there Is so much gossip and
speculation being published it is but
natural that members of the cabinet
should have their attention drawn to
the subject, and some of them doubt
less discuss the subject with their
friends. One of the members, in deny
ing to me a report that he contem
plated resigning his portfolio, for rea
sons not necessary to mention here,
said: "It would be unusual and almost
unprecedented for the membership of
a cabinet to remain intact for four
years. Changes occur in every cabinet,
and I anticipate there will be several
changes in the present cabinet. Just
when they may occur X am sure I do
not know. Circumstances may arise
which may render it not only neces
sary. but personally convenient for all
interested to make certain changes.
Such changes can be made without any
friction or without giving offense to
any one. It is in accord with the pre
vious history of our government. It is
idle for any one to suggest that cer
tain members of the cabinet are simply
holding on until President Roosevelt
becomes familiar with the public busi
ness, so he can dispense with the ser
vices of one or more of the gentlemen
who around his cabinet table. It
Is but just to him to say that he Is
sufficiently acquainted with public af
fairs to run the White House with an
entirely new cabinet.”
Just now the self-constituted cabinet
tinkers have out their hammers and
they are using them with exceeding
vigor upon Secretaries Gage and Hitch
cock. It is claimed that Secretary
Gage is sore over the way he was ig
nored in the selection of anew collec
tor for the port of New York. T doubt
very much is Secrteary Gage lost a
moment’s sleep over the selection of
< nllector Bidwell. Secretary Gage s
a practical business man. and he is
probably the ablest Secretary of the
Treasury this country has had during
the present generation. The business
people of the country have confi
dence in his wisdom and judgment
In dealing with financial affairs, and
they realize that although they may
differ with him on questions of policy,
they appreciate the fact that he is safe
and conservative and commercially
sound.
Again the figure of the smooth, non
committal. easy-going Senator Allison,
s dragged from its comfortable and
well-worn resting place at the head of
Ihe Republican party in the United
States, and held up as the next occu
pant of the chair of the Secretary of
the Treasury. If Senator Allison was
over ambitious to be Secretary of the
Treasury he has had ample opportun
ities to have his desire in that direc
tion, gratified under previous Republi
< *.n administrations. There is scarcely
a Republican President since Grant,
who ha* not tendered him a cabinet po-
M'tlon. Allison is too foxy to accept a
place in any man’s cabinet. He might
have, at one time, been ambitious to
*lt at the head of a. cabinet table, but
not as a secretary. He appreciates that
the office of United States senator is
more dignified, easier to fill, and alto
gether more desirable from almost any
tundpolnt from which It may be view
' and. consequently It would be impossi
ble to tempt him to leave the Senate
to do the clerical work of a cabinet of
ficer.
ft Is said that the lowa Republican*

J*ie may b< him foundation for
the report so persistently and frequent
ly made that the Missouri Republicans
are after Secretary Hitchcock’s politi
cal scalp. Even before President Mc-
Kinley was assassinated, it was re
ported from the West that a strong ef
fort would be made this winter to nave
Secretary Hitchcock transferred to
some other sphere of usefulness, to
make way for some other man in the
Interior Department, who would be
more acceptable to the Republicans in
the far West.

NORTH CAROLINA METHODISTS.
Various Matter* of Denominational
Interest Discussed.
Gastonia, N. C., Nov. 22.—At the
third dav’s session of the Western
North Carolina Methodist conference.
Rev. J. B. Hurley of the Methodist
Orphanage, Raleigh, urged the confer
ence to unite with the other conference
in establishing an orphanage which
would b >e a credit to Carolina Metho
dism. Rev. L. W. Crawford, editor
of the North Carolina Christian Ad
vocate. stated that he had sold his In
terest in the paper to D. B. Coltrane
of Concord, with the understanding
that it might be sold to the conference
at the same price paid, and that he
was not a candidate for editor. The
question of admitting Rev. E. H.
Green, late a priest of the Episcopal
Church, caused a warm discussion but
was carried.
Dr. James Atkins of Asheville made
an interesting report of his work as
Sunday-school editor, and aaid the
church at large should be congratulated
on securing Prof. H. M. Hamill to
organize the teachers' student circles.
WANT RECOGNITION OF UNION.
Virginia Miner* Quit Work for Tbl*
Reason Only.
Roanoke. Va., Nov. 22.—There is a
strike at the Norton Coal Company and
the Wise Coal Company colliery at
Norton, in Wise county. None of the
other mines in that section has been
affected so far.
The whole force of 150 men employed
by the Norton Coal Company are out,
and seventy-five, the entire force of
the Wise Coal Company, have also
quit work. The miners have no griev
ance except that the companies will not
recognize the union. It is alleged that
several men were recently -Mscharged
because they belonged to the United
Mine Workers. A committee of miners
waited on the companies for the pur
pose of having the men reinstated, but
were turned down. They then resolved
to strike and the mines were tied up
yesterday. The strikers are determined
and say the prospects are bright for
winning.

Harbor With Her Crew.
New York. Nov. 22.—Commanders
Niehl and Sata, and Lieut. Ide of the
Japanese navy, witnessed a trial of
the Holland sub-marine torpedo boat

FOOD STOPPED IT,
Good Food Worth More Than a Gold
Mine.
To find a food that will put an abso
lute stop to “running down” is better
than finding a gold mine. Many people
when they begin to run down go from
one food to another and find it im
possible to find a food that will stop
the progress of disease. Grape-Nuts
Food is the most nourishing known
and will set one right if that is possi
ble.
The experience of a Louisiana lady
will be Interesting. Mrs. J. H. Graham,
Wallace, La. writes: "I received a se
vere nervous shock some years ago and
from overwork gradually broke down.
My food did not agree with me and I
lost flesh rapidly. I changed from one
kind of food to another, but was una
ble to stop the loss of flesh and
strength.
I do not exaggerate when I say that
I finally became. In reality, a living
skeleton. My nights were sleepless, and
I was compelled to take opiates in va
rious forms. After trying all sorts of
different foods without success I final
ly got down to toasted bread with a
little butter, and after a while this be
gan to sour and I could not digest It.
Then I took to toasting crackers and
lived on them for several weeks, but
kept getting weaker.
One day I was brought knowledge of
Grape-Nuts Food, and It seemed to me
from the description that It was just
the sort of food I -ould digest. I began
by eating a small portion just is it

sometimes warming and adding a lit

SEARCHING FOR NELLIE.
North Carolina Girl’* Disappearance
Still a Mystery.
Raleigh, N. C.. Nov. 22.—News Just
reached here from Elizabeth City, N.
C., indicates that the search for sev
enteen-year-cld Nellie Cropsey, miss
ing from her home in that city since 11
o’clock p. m.. Nov. 20, points either
to suicide by drowning or departure in
a river craft. “Hurricane” Branch,
with bloodhounds, arrived on the scene
about noon to-day. The dogs were
given the scent from the absent girl’s
shoes and stockings and followed the
trail through a turnip patch along the
river and finally to a pier, where it
w-as lost. The suicide theory is some
what w-eakened by resultless river
dragging. Nellie was last seen on her
porch with her lover, James Wilcox,
and it is said he left her crying. Great
excitement prevails over the mystery.

Country Never Uelore Knew Suoli
ProMpertty—Mill* and Factorie*
Are Working Every Wheel and
Railroad* Are l liable to Handle
the Heavy Business— Cotton Alone
Remain* Dull Due to Neill’* Dam
aging Estimate. Though Every In
dication Promises Heavy Demand
for Cotton Goods.
New York. Nov. 22.—R. G. Dun *
Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade to
morrow will say:
Never before in the history of the
United States was there such great
reason for a day of national thanks
giving. This country has made un
precedented strides toward a position
of International supremacy, not only
in commerce, but also In finance. To
a marked degree business enterprises
have proved successful. An idle wheel
In mills or factories is the exception,
while labor is so well employed at
high wages that consumptive demands
sustain market values of all staple
commodities. Transporting facilities
have been unable to keep pace with
the nation's requirements, many com
plaining of tardy deliveries which
alone act as a brake on commercial
progress. By closing lake navigation,
lower temperature will relieve the
railway situation, thousands of cars
being restored to inland traffic. This
same factor of seasonable weather
stimulates retail dealings, and prompt
collections swell bank exchanges.
Careful search discloses few unfav
orable factors in the iron and steel sit
uation. Probably the less satisfactory
conditions are found at plate mills,
which report an uneven distribution of
orders. In rails there is no apparent
limit to orders placed, . though some
mills are unable to guarantee delivery
within a year. After six months of
more or less Interruption all machine
shops and kindred plants at San Fran
cisco have fully resumed, and it is cer
tain that the greatest force on record
is now engaged in the various depart
ments of iron and steel making. Raw
material at the South hga advanced,
but at central points pig iron is steady,
though rapidly absorbed.
Cotton relapsed into dullness, with
barely steady quotations. In marked
contrast to the exceptional activity and
strength of the same week in 1900,
when prices were $11.25 a bale higher.
Foreign markets are held down by Mr.
Neill’s large estimate of the domestic
crop, which is not likely to prove as
near the fact as his excessively low
prediction last year. Losses have been
undoubtedly severe, while prosperity lo
all other regions must bring a vigorous
demand for goods which Is already per
ceptible In the activity In spinners.
British exports of cotton goods are
much larger than they were a year
ago, and domestic shipments to China
have also increased of late. Return
of Fall River price* for prints to a
normal position promises activity, es
pecially with the wage scale also set
tled. These Influences are all most fav
orable for the raw material.
Strength is the rule In the market
for farm products. Favorable weath
er during the closing days of corn har
vesting failed to bring any reaction
from the hirhest price level In many
years.
Wheat holds at about $<- above last
year’* price, despite the marked differ
ence in else of crop*.
Failures for the week numbered 21$
in th* United Btales, against 238 last
year, and 31 in Canada, against 19.

The convention is of great Import
