WASHINGTON, Feb. 10—There j
seems to be a unanimity of opinion I
among the national legislators that
something should be done, and at
once, to open the resources of Alas
ka. The report of the Railroad Com
mission and the recommendations of
President Taft have been the prin
cipal topic of conservation at the
capitol for the past several days and
the only question that arises is as to
the best means of opening up that
territory. All agree that transpor
tation is the first thing needed.
Some of the m'embers of Congress
favor a government owned railway,
while others want to guarantee the
principal and interest of the bonds
and allow private parties to proceed
with the work. Just as soon as it
can be determined what is the best
solution of the problem some decisive
action will be taken. From present
indications there will be but one
trunk line built, and it will be the
Cordova route. This means the ex
tension of the Copper River & North
western railway from Chitina to
Fairbanks, with a branch line to the
Bering river coal fields.
Delegate Wickersham believes that
legislation shoud be introduced re
quiring the government construction
of railroads in Alaska, rather than by
private contract, along the lines
prosecuted in the building of the
Panama canal.

passage of this act, but it is not likely
to become a law until the special ses
sion of Congres.

posed and in doing so admitted to
the committee that the Interior De
partment had assumed a dog-in-the
manger attitude in the matter of

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11—Presi
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson has
reached the final state of elimination
in his painstaking process of select
ing a Cabinet. With nine Cabinet
posts to fill, the President-elect has
narrowed the list of possibilities to
less than 20, out of more than 100
whose fitness and claims for a seat at
Cabinet table have been given extend
ed and serious consideration. Al
though all information has been ac
companied by an injunction of strict
secrecy it became known in Wash
ington that in considering his Cabinet
the President-elect has had upper
most in his mind four obligations in
curred in connection with his cam
paign for the Baltimore nomination.
Those obligations have been classi
fied in two ways. First comes the
personal obligation to William F. Mc
Combs, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, closely followed
bv the obligation to William Jennings
Bryan. Next, as it appeals to Gov
ernor Wilson, comes his obligation to
two States—Pennsylvania and Texas.
Through all the ups and downs of the
Baltimore convention, 72 of the 76
delegates from Pennsylvania and the
solid delegation of 40 from Texas
stood unwaveringly behind the W’il
son candidacy, refusing to break in
the face of the unpreceented situa
tion created when Champ Clark se
cured a majority of the convention,
and yet could not land the nomina
tion. Governor Wilson recognizes
that a break in either the Pennsylva
nia or Texas elegations would have
made his nomination impossible.
Under the circumstances President
elect Wilson, it was learned today,
feels it incumbent in selecting his
Cabinet to consider first of all Mc
Combs and Bryan and the States of
Pennsylvania and Texas. McCombs,
however, it is learned, has been set
aside as a Cabinet possibility. This
young lawyer organized the Wilson
pre-convention movement, and not
only gave liberally of his own money,
but sacrificed his health in the heart
breaking work culminating in the
spectacular Baltimore fight. Gov
ernor Wilson, so it is stated, and Mc
Combs are agreed that the latter is
not to into the Cabinet.
Unless there is an unexpected turn,
not now regarded as possible, William
J. Bryan is a certainty as Secretary
of State and the premier of the Wil
son Cabinet. Every source of infor
mation in Washington corroborates
the conclusion that Bryan has been
tendered and has accepted the Cabi
net post, and is making all his ar
rangements to take up his residence
at the National Capital. Texas is
sure of a Cabinet place, the choice in
he mind of Governor Wilson lying be
tween Representative Robert L. Hen
ry and Albert S. Burleson. The final
selction probably will rest on Burle
Bon as Secretary of Agriculture.
Of the four obligations which Gov
ernor Wilson feels he must consider
in selecting his Cabinet, Pennsylvania
is the most uncertain. It is known
positively that the President-elect Is
considering but one Pennsylvanian as
a Cabinet possibility, that being Rep
•esentative A. Mitchell Palmer. The
President-elect, however, is hesitating
about removing Representative Pal
mer from the House of Represnta
tives.
In making up his Cabinet Governor
Wilson also is carefully considering
the question of Democratic leadership
in both House and Senate. He has
told some of his advisers that he is
not going to fall into the mistakes
made by President Cleveland, who he
considers made a fatal blunder by
taking into his Cabinet the strongest
leaders on the Democratic side of
Congress, particularly in the Senate.
If Representative Palmer does not go
into the Cabinet it will because Gov
ernor Wilson wants him as an admin
istration leader on the floor of the
New York State has been left to the
final process of elimination. Senator
O’Gorinan of New York, one of the
men with whom President-elect Wil
son really advises, would like a Cabi
net post. But the same conditions
applying to Representative Palmer fit
the case of Senator O'Gorman. If
anything, the President-elect is more
concerned over the question of leader
ship in the Senate, where the Demo
cratic majority is very narrow, than
in the House with its topheavy Demo
cratic membership.
House. Washington hears that the
President-elect has said in discussing
Palmer: "If Palmer does not go
into the Cabinet he can consider it a
promotion.”
Henry Mcrgenthau of New Y'ork re
mains in the narrow list of Cabinet
possibilities, his name being consid
ered for the Treasury portfolio. Mor
genthau was one of the big financial
props in the Wilson campaign.
It appears to be settled that Josep
hus Daniels of North Carolina will-be
in the new Cabinet. Without excep
tion, all who have been summoned to
Trenton agreed in opinion that Dan
iels is to be a Cabinet minister, prob
ably Postmaster General. Senator
Gardner of Maine is another who re
mains in the list of possibilities.
Gardner is being considered either for
Secretary of Agrculture or Secretary
of the Navy, and of late more particu
larly in connection with the latter
post.
Former Governor Norris of Mon
tana, despite powerful opposition, re
mains on the list of possibilities. It
is understood he is being considered
for the post of Secretary of the In
terior only. The President-elect, it is
understood, will give a Cabinet post
to that section of the country repre
sented by Ohio, Michigan, Idiana and
Illinois. The names still on the elig
ible list from any of these States has
not been disclosed.
