A message received here from Washington to day makes it reasonably certain that Senator Sherman's present in tention is to accept the position of Secretary of state in Maj. McKinley 's Cabinet It was intimated to Sena tor Sherman several days age, as in dicated in" these dispatches, that Major McKlnley would be glad to know whether he would be inclined to accept a cabinet position. , Senator Sherman's inclinations were not in that direction originally and his first thought was, accord ing to friends here, that he ought to remain In the Senate, but after care ful consideration of the subject it seems to him that he can perhaps be" of more servise to the country and to his party at tne head of the de partment of state. If present ar rangements are not changed, and there is nothing to indicate that they I will be, Senator Sherman will oc cupy the leading place in McKinley 's Cabinet ' MINISTER WILLIS DEAD Expired at Honolulu January Sixth.

It Will tH Ready About th First of By Telegraph to the Press-Visitor. Washimgtpk, D. C, Jan. 15. -The Ways and Means committee has gone to work in earnest on a tariff meas ure. : .' The committee began its sittings last night. It proposes to finish its bill by the first of April To do It it will bo necessary to burn mid night oil and consume more or less enthusiasm. : Oil is cheap and en thusiasm plenty among the younger politicians of the committee. : . It is the intention to take up sched ule after schedule until the bill is finished. The committee will go on sitting after March 4. It will continue up to the meeting of the ex tra session. The day after the new Ways and Means committee is ap pointed the -Dingley "tariff bill will be presented The measure, which will be ready to report to tho House after April 1, will not be the McKinley tariff meas ure. It has beep found, even by the republican members of the ways and means committee, that the Wil son tariff bill, wor&ed pretty well. Some of its provisions will remain unchanged. It is a rather bitter dose and it is not taken openly, but the fact remains that the Wilson tariff bill has not been the failure the republicans predicted. The now bill will not startle the country by the sharpness of its pro tection of woolen industries. The McKinley bill did.. The iron schedule may remain entirely un changed. Farmers will get the pro tection given them in the McKinley bill. So it will go down through all the sohedules. The people, the committee thinks, will be pleased. Roosevelt In a New Role.

He was visiting in the home of Mr, H. H. Kohlsaat, of Chi cago, proprietor of the- Chicago Times-Herald and Chicago Evening Post, when after dinner It was sug gested that it would be a pleasant thing to call up President-elect Mc Kinley over the long " distance tele phone and have Remenyi play for him and his wife; so Canton, and the McKinley home was called up and the suggestion made, the reply came that Mrs. McKinley and the . Presi dentelect would be delighted. The great maestro I placed . himself in front of the receiver of the 'phone and played two numbers; the reply came back from Canton- that they heard it perfectly ; and were 'em raptured with the beautiful strains, and they thanked - the ; great artist over and over, again: for the novel musical treat furnished by him." In .writing to bis manager, Mr. Thearle, about it, the great virtuoso describes the event in his own ini mitable manner as follows : "Have played last night lo Major McKinley and to ' Mrs. McKinley two tunes.

D. Williams has received notice of the tragic death of Miss Ellen Beach Yaw at Bingham ton.N. Y. She was singing before an audience, and, in : reaching the high notes, for which her voice was famous, the jugular vein in her throat burst and she bled to death on the stage before her hearers. Mise Yaw was able to reach the highest note of any cantatrice in the world, which was' due to a peculiar formation of her throat. In strain ing to reach this note muscles of her throat were pressed against the jugular vein and Injured this by abrasion until the membrane was worn through, causing hemorrhage. She had been .warned by the best vocal masters that the result would be so if she persisted, in singing so high, but the warning was not heed ed. The fact that sho was the greatest ranged vocalist the world has ever known was only a feature of which could consistently be claimed for her. She interpreted music. She did not set her vocal organs to jug gle it - She sang naturally twenty eight tones, from 0 below to Eln the altissimo. Miss Yaw was born in Boston, Erie county, New York, and was 30 years of age. She sang in Raleigh at the Acad emy of Music two' years ago, while the Legislature was in session. Scottish Reformation.

Marshburn lived two hours, but, was never conscious. A BIG SCHEME To Enable the Republicans to Control the Senate. By Telegraph to the Pres9-'tsitor. Washington, Jan. 15.- A new scheme is being hatched by Repub lican Senators to euable their party to control the Senate after the 4th of March, that is as daring and auda cious as anything ever attempted in this country in the political line. The first step in this scheme was taken this week, when Senator Chandler who is an adept in tricky politics, offered a petition in the Senate from Henry A. Du Pont and eleven members of the Delaware legislature, asking that the Senate reconsider the vote whereby it declared Mr. Du Pont not entitled to a seat in the Senate. This scheme never would have been sprung had it not become certain that the democrats would elect a Senator to fill the Delaware vacancy. Those who are behind it do not ex pect to seat Du Pont, but they hope by getting his claim before the Sen ate again to prevent the seating of the democrat who will be elected by the present Delaware legislature. With one vacancy in the Senate 45 will be a majority, but if that vacancy is filled by a democrat the republi cans must have 46 votes to control the Senate. The petition was refer red to the committee on Privileges and elections, which consists of five republicans and four democrats, but as Senator Palmer, of Illinois, is one of the latter, the republicans may be said to have two-thirds of the com mittee.

A Norfolk Party Thinks of Putting up a Big Manufacturing Plant. Mr. John W. Brown is in receipt of the following letter from O. C. Hicks, of Norfolk, Va., which the Chamber of Commerce would do well to inquire into: Will you kindly advise me by re turn mail, if in your opinion, the citizens of your city would encour age a manufacturing plant, one that would pay 25 per cent, upon the capital invested annually. Do you think they would furnish a site, and take stock in a company, providing the promoter would invest fifty thousand dollars in the enterprise? Statistics show that your state con sumes annually the product, of such a plant contemplated; to the amount of three millions of dollars. There is no plant of the kind . within the state of North Carolina. Induce ments have been offered to locate the plant in Wilmington, it being a seaport town, but your city being the capital, and more centrally lo cated, would suit me better, provided the same inducements were offered, today's markets.
