Mason, Tcun., $75. There was a long dis
cussion proceeding the consideration of ap
propriations for the academies for white
ploplc. It was explained that the Held of
Uio academies was among tho poor whites
and they were doing flno work, both In In
struction provided by tho schools them
selves und as feeders for tho Fort Worth
and V. S. Grant unlverltles.

lllshop Mullullcu, in talking on the sub
ject, spoko of tho effect on tho alms of the
society of tho disfranchisement act3 of ths
south. Ho said;
l'i hope tck see tho day when the Hag shall
protect alt Americans on tho American soil."
This started a debate on disfranchisement,
tho speakers connecting it with, tho ques
tion under consideration by tho Idee, that
tho work among tho whites in tho states
which had passed "disfranchisement" lawn
should bo Increased rather than dlmlulshed.
Levi Gilbert, editor of the Western Chris
tian Advocate, counselled moderation. He
said the southern pcoplo mado no pretense
of disguising the objects of these measures,
but that so far ns the uctual language of
tho statutes went, there was no discrimi
nation set forth in so many words. He
believed In strengthening tho bonds that
were holding tho north and south to
gether, lllshop Fowler had criticized
Dookor T. Washington ifor trading tho rights
of tho negro man for peace, but for hla
part ho was suro that Washington was
right. Ho thought that education wns tho
surest ground work for tho maintenance
of rights and it tho negro went to work
on that the enjoyment of his rights would
follow. Ho said ho hoped to sco tho day,
north and south, when no Ignorant man
would bo ullowed to vote.
IlouUrr WiiKhliiKtou Crllli'lnrd,
Secretary Mason also said that ho be
lieved In preserving good feeling between
tho north and south, but 1( In establishing
that good feeling tho north aud south
planned to leave thn. negro out ho could
foretell that there would bo trouble. Ho
paid a tribute to Hooker T. Washington,
saying that any man who had done what ho
had was a great man, whlto or black. Nov
ertheless, he did not bellevo with Uookor T,
Washington that education should comu
first and rights afterwards. It u man gavo
up his rights In this country, he salO, ho
was ery unlikely ever to get them bac't
again,
lllshop 1). A. Goodsell said Hooker T
Washington did not deserve credit for orig
inating the Idea of industrial education in
tho south, for tho whole society hail dono
that thirty years ago, but tho speaker wa3
Inclined to thing that his educational idea
wa3 right. Ha tald that he believed that
any community of tho white race lu tho
north that was ruled by another raco by a
majority of numbers, would resist to tho
point of revolution. Tho bishop recalled a
number of kindly acts on tho part of tho
southern whites, some of whom had opened
their churches to the negroes when ho was
holding conferences among them.
"I tell you," he said, "that every word of
war tho negroes speak now will make tho
elevation of their raco moro dlfflcult In tho

ST. 1'AIL, Minn., Nov. 13. The grave
complications disclosed by the bulletin Is
sued latt evening by tho physicians In at
tendance upon Senator C. K. Davis have
greatly deprtffed his family and friends,
who hitherto have been hopeful of n faor
able outcome of his prolonged Illness. Ills
wife, his aged parents and two sisters, who
uro Ir constant attendance, upon him, now
fnllv realize the probability ot a fatal re
sult and that ut no distant time. It la said
that the senator himself 1.1 not cognizant of
the c.tren.ely serious character of his lll
nesH, though he, ut course, Is nwnro that
ho is belns treated for another and possi
bly mc-e bcroua ailment than that with
which he at first contended. The presence
ot acute lullnmatlon uf the kidneys uppeurs
to have no relation whntcer to tho poison
taken Into bis uystem through tho Injured
foot.
Senator Davis' family fear that his weak
ened system will hardly enablo him to tight
tho dlsene us ho might havo dono had he
not been subjected to a wrarUume siege ot
nine weeks. It Is said tho senator nutters
but little pain nnd the wounded foot Is be
ginning to heal nicely, and but few un
favorable Ryniptbms nro noted so far ns It
Is concerned. A statement wus made today
by a close friend ot the family, who said:
"Drs. Stono uud Litnkester yesterday dis
covered evidences of llrlght's disease. Vp
tn that tlmo no organic kidney trouble- had
been disclosed. Upon this discovery It wns
thought best to acquaint Dr. Murphy of
Chicago of thu changed conditions. Dr.
Murphy arrhed today and corroborated the
diagnosis. Ho regards tho cafo now as
grave, for kidney trouble at this stago Is
a serious smptom. When Dr. Murphy was
last here he bcllovcd thuro was a fair chance
for recovery. Ho is not so sanguine now."

WASHINGTON. Nov. l.l.-rreslde nt Me
Kluley toJay announced clearly uud forci
bly to the members ot hit cabinet his desire
that they should nil remain with him during
tho four ycais ot his coming ndmlnUtr.itlun
Ills wishes were made known In uu extended
speech at tho rnhlnnt meeting lu the White
Hoiifu today. Iiepoilo. were made bv nil
of tho members present nnd while there w.-rr
no definite pledges from any ot them that
they would accept tho portfolios thus let.
dered ufresh there was on the other hand no
definite declination.
Today's proceedings set forth tho wishes
of tho president in the matter nnd relieves
the members of tho cabinet ef the customary
obligation ot tendeilng their resignations
at the end of the term, uulera they havo
made nn Irrevocable decision that it will bo
Impossible for them to continue in ofilco. It
also sets nt rent all speculation and tlnto
making of the country's political prophets,
for It Is understood generally that thero Is
but ono doubtful factor In Iho hnmogcnlty
of tho present cabinet. That factor lu At
torney General Griggs, ns ho holds his pres
ent position at a great tlnnelal incrlflco.
Still. Mr. Griggs replied in terms of wnrni
appreciation to thn complimentary remarks
of tho president nnd voiced no Intention of
retiring from his present position.
I'rmlileiit ComplhiiriilN Cabinet.
This Is not tho first tlmo that tho presi
dent has cxptcHscd to tho members of the
cabinet his pleasure at tho huppnrt they had
given to him. Ho sold as much In n gen
eral way ut thu last cabinet meeting, when
tho members, soxeral of whom had Lccn
scattered by political campaigning, got to
gether for ho first time and congratulated
htm upon thu outcome of tho election. To
day tho president evidently had prepared for
tho occasion nnd ills uddrcis rovlowcd tho
work of the administration in the lust four
years tour of the most exciting ycAts tho
country ha known lu threo decades. It wa
rather a siirp'Uc een to thu cabinet mem
bers themselves to noto how accurately tho
prcsldeiit had fixed In his memory (ho so
qtienco of evcats and how calmly ho re
linquished the present credit fur Bucceestul
strokes ot polio or prudence nnd attributed
tho honor to tho members ot his ofllctal
family in whose Immediate department thn
matter in question hud arisen.
Ho said that If tho result of tho recent
election was nn endorsement of his ad
ministration, it wns no less nn endorse
ment uf thn men who had rtood by him In
the time of stress nnd adversity. The
credit for success, he said, he laid with
thu heads of his various departments und
ho should shrink from entering upon
another four years ot office unless ho could
be Rssurcd that ho would have with him
a majority at least of tho men who form
hla present official household. Ho said In
knew that In asking them to remain with
him thero was scarcely on who could do
so without some sacrifice either ot tlmo or
money,' lcinure or personal Inclination. At
the came time, ho said, ho should (eel
happier if all of them could gratify his
wishes.
SrcrMnry lln' Hrnpoimr.
Secretary Hay was the first to respond.
Ho said that for his part ho deeply ap
preciated tho complimentary references
mudu by his chief nnd that ho thought there
was not u member of tho cabinet who
would sever such pleasant official relations
without regrot, and even then only In case
of tho moat urgent icasons for retirement.
Secretaries Gage, Long, Hitchcock, Wil
son, Attorney Gvnernl Griggs end Post
master General Smith each spoko In turn
and In much tho wimn vein. Secretary
Hoot was tho only absent 'member from tho
meeting, having left for Cuba to look
over miliary affairs there, and, at the
uamo tlmo to try to recuperate from his
ong anil (serious Illness. Thu list ot
responses, therefore, was all but complete.
It la known that Secrotary Hoot is In
much tho name position ns Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, holding hla position at con
siderable sacrifice, but willing ut tho same
tlmo to sacrifice a Good deal to comply
with tho expressed wish ot tho president.
Tho meeting, which had developed into
a real lovo least, men returned tn t lie
more commonplace affairs ot routine busi
ness nud thu discussion of tho salient
features of tho president's coming mcs
sago to congress, after which tho mcrnberr,
loft with renewed expressions of regard.
Tho meeting stands as ono of tho most re
markahlo cabinet sosslon3 on record.
