Till/luau CABINET
It Is Said That Newark and Penn-
sylvania Will Not Be In It.

 

HANNA DECLARES HIMSELF.

He Will Annouce His Candidacy For the
Senate and Make an Open Eight For
the Seat, but Governor Bush-
nell May Thwart His Plans.

CANTON, 0., Jan. 18.—-Apropos of the
visit of Senator Quay and Senator Elect
Penrose of Pennsylvania to President
Elect McKinley it is said that Pennsylva—
nia, and New York as well, is doomed to

‘ disappointment in the matter of furnish-

‘i‘ng planks for the cabinet.

Senator Quay, when seen at his hotel
after his interview with Major McKinley,
did not present the appearance of a thor-
oughly satisfied man, and there was some-
thing in his manner which indicated dis-
appointment, although both he and Mr.
Penrose said they had had a very pleasant
conference with Major McKinley.

“Only . President Elect McKinley
knows,” said Senator Quay when asked
directly whether Charles Emory ‘Smith
would be invited into the cabinet. The
senator also said that a part of their mis«
sion here was to talk over the interests of
Governor Hastings as a cabinet aspirant,
but would not say what particular ofiice
they hoped for. He said: >

“Our conference with Major McKinley
I have nothing to say
for publication.”

The present indications are that Pennsyl-
vania will not furnish a name for the offi~
rial cabinet slate, and it is very possible
that New York for similar reasons will
share the same fate. It is next to impossi-
ble to find an eligible man in either com—
monwealth who would not antagonize one
or another of the factions. Laying aside
all other considerations, the situation in
the senate is such that the administration
cannot afford to take any step that would
render one or more senators cold or luke-
warm. On the other hand, Major McKin-
ley’s personal and political friendship for
Charles Emory Smith and other Pennsyl-
vanians of his side of the house is such
that he will not willingly offend them or
take an important step against their
wishes. No Pennsylvanian suggested
seems to be entirely free from factional
entanglgments.

New York presents a number of names
with the recommendation that they are
not so arrayed on local issues as to arouse
factional strife, but so far investigation
has cast a cloud over most of these recom-
mendations. Andrew D. White for the
treasury, John A. Wise for attorney gen-
eral and General Horace R. Porter for the
navy are New York names , in current
It is also said that Senator Elect
Platt will be one of the important callers
at the McKinley home and that he comes
to canvass the New York situation.

Major 0., F. Dick of Cleveland, repre-
senting Mark Hanna, called on President
Elect McKinley yesterday to discuss the
senate vacancy soon to be created by the
resignation of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Hanna
is ”extremely anxious to secure the seat:
but, according to Major Dick, no under-
standing has been reached with Governor
Bushnell, who can appoint for the unex-
pired period of Mr. Sherman’s term. It
was the lack of such an understanding
that led to Major Dick’s hurried visit.

Mr. McKinley is now bending his ener-
gies to bring about the desired result, and

. his private secretary, Mr. Boyle, who was
appointed police commissioner of Cincin-
nati by then Governor Foraker, has posted

off to Cincinnati to argue with the junior
senator on the wisdom of having Mr. Han-
na succeed Senator Sherman. .
Politicians here believe that Governor
Bushnell will call an extra session Of the
general assembly instead of filling the va-
cancy by appointment. The present legis-

' lature elected Foraker and. left to its own

devices would be likely to choose Governor
Bushnell himself. e

HANNA FOR THE SENATE.

He Will Announce His Candidacy and
Make an Open Fight.

 

CLEVELAND, Jan. 18.—The Press says
- Mark Hanna will announce himself as a

candidate for United States senator. He
made this admission yesterday to ex—Con-
gressman Hour? L. Morey of Hamilton,
who came to Cleveland as the accredited
representative of Senator Joseph B. Fora-
ker. .

“I will announce my candidacy,” said
the national chairman, “and I believe I
am capable of winning the fight alone. I
believe that I am entitled to the plaCe. ”

Colonel Morey was closeted with Mr.
Hanna for an hour. When Mr. Morey left
the chairman, he was questioned by a re-
porter and said: “I believe that Mr. Han-
na will announce himself as a candidate to
succeed Senator Sherman in the United
States senate, and I believe that Governor
Bushnell will appoint him to" that posi-
tion. Governor Bushnell will, I feel con-
fident, dislike to do this very much, for I
believe he would himself like to be suc-
cessor to Senator Sherman, but neverthe-
less I believe he will do it.

“There will be" no deal, whatever may,

be the outome of Mr. Hanna’s candidacy.
I am sure that there has not been and will
not be any deal with Foraker or Bushnell.
Mr. Hanna’s candidacy will be open and
above board, and I believe that he will win
solely because Foraker will bow to the
very evident sentiment of the people of
this state and the United States.”

“Mr. Morey, are you affiliated with
either‘ faction in this state?”

“No, I am not. I am a good friend of
both Mr. Foraker and Mr. Hanna.”

When Mr. Hanna’s attention was called
to the statement made by Mr. Morey, he
flatly refused to discuss the matter.

Long May Be In It.

HINGHAM, Mass, Jan. 18.-——Hon. John
D. Long has returned to his home here
from his visit to President Elect McKin-
ley at Canton. Mr. Long was yesterday
seen by your correspondent, to whom he
granted an interview. When asked if he
was to be a member of President McKin-
ley’s cabinet and in what capacity, he re-
plied: '

“It is a atter for future consideration
whether he will desire my services or
whether I should be inclined to accept any
position. I presume if anything were of-
fered it would be either the‘ secretary of
war portfolio or the secretary of the navy. ’V’

BAD ror. LEADVILLE-

III the Great Mines In Carbdnaie Hlll
May Be Flooded.

LEADVILLE, Coir... Jan. 13:1.—-—The crisis
in the trouble which .Iwudvilie has under-
yone since last June has been reached. and
I: calamity far worse than the strike of the
metallic miners here has overtaken the
camp. For the first time in 15 years the
immense pumps that have drained the big
mines on Carbonate hill, the wealthy cen-
ter of Leadville, have been pulled out,
while the pipe lines connecting are to be
removed at once. The Maid—Henrette
pumps had a capacity of 1,300 gallons of
water a minute, and depending‘upon this
were nearly all the great mines of Carbon-
ate hill.

How long the mines affected by this
move can hold out is merely a matter for
conjecture. There are miles of workings
in Carbonate hill, and these will probably
fill up slowly, so that down workings may

 

not be reached by the rush of water for a '

month or two. It is, however, only a
question of time, and a month will un-
doubtedly find many mines idle as a re-‘
sult of the floods.

A prominent mining man said that it
was his opinion that the pumps would
never again be placed in the Maid property
even if the strike was settled. Indeed, if
there is any settlement made with the end
in view that the pumps would be replaced,
it would have to come very soon, for with-
in a week the Maid and the Henrette would
be so flooded that it would be impossible
to put the pumps back or even to get into
the stations.

DOUBLY WEDDED.

Ex-llIuyor lVIagowan Defies His “Political
Enemies and False Friends.”

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18. —— Ex—Mayor
Frank A. Magowan of Trenton and his
wife, who was formerly Mrs. J. A. Barnes,
together with the child of the latter, are
stopping at the Hotel Walton in this city.
They have been here for some time, but
will be at their Trenton heine after today.

Mr. Magowan declined to say anything
about the amount paid Mr. Barnes for the
settlement of the latter’s $100,000 suit for
alienation of his wife’s affections. He,
however, gave out the following statement:

“Mrs. J. A. Barnes and I were married
at Milwaukee immediately after her di-
vorce was secured last J one, I having re-
ceived my decree the previous March. We
Were remarried yesterday by the Rev. W.
A. Hunsberger in this city in order to de-
feat any attengpt that might be made by
my too activléf' political enemies and false
friends, who have demonstrated in the
past only too clearly their inclination to
interfere in my family afi‘airs. ”~

 

 

Found a Fortune.

MILLV'ILLE, N. J., Jan. 18.——It is assert-
ed that while working Friday 0 an old
building on the Hayes property, about two
miles from Port Elizabeth, Somers Cole, a
carpenter, found a snug fortune secreted
in the eaves oflthe structure. The fortune
was found in a long. box and was in the
shape of bonds, mortgages, gold and silver
coin and rolls of paper money. It amount-
ed to nearly $25,000. Lawyer H. 0. New—
comb says he was the administrator of the
Hayes estate and will take charge of the
box. The fortune will be claimed by Lo-
renzo Hayes of this place.

Catholics In Mexico.

MONTEREY, Mexico, Jan. 18.—-—The re-
form laws of _,_Mexico regulating and re-
stricting the Catholic church in this coun-
try have always met with stong opposition
from the church officials. They must
hereafter, however, be strictly obeyed, as
Archbishop Averardi has issued written
instructions to every Catholic church in
Mexico to that effect. He also calls upon
the church to give President Diaz’s'ad-
ministration its support. Archbishop Av-
erardi came to Mexico six months ago di-
rect from Rome for the purpose of investi-
gating church affairs in this country.

Shot Three Men Dead.

BELLAIRE, 0., Jan. 18.—A triple mur—
der occurred late last night at Flat Rock,

was in progress, and attempted to inter-
rupt the festivities. Grim ordered them
away. and a fight ensued. Going into the
house, Grim secured a gun and shot the
three men dead._ Grim gave himself up.

Hoch Must Die.

m ARBITRATION TREATY."

Highly Complimented In an Address by
the Hon. John Morley. -

LONDON, Jan. 18.——The Right Hon. John
Morley, M. P., in a' speech at Forfar.
Scotland, complimented the prOposed An-
glo-American arbitration treaty, which, he
said, withdrew even territorial claims
from the tyrannical, capricious and bale-
ful arbitrament of the sword. .In strong
terms he urged that it should be the fervent

that no miss should arise in the senate or
elsewhere to overcloud this new light on
the horizon of the world of civilized man
or to hinder the consummation of the
hopes and ardent wishes of two great na-
tions. . -

“I agree with those,” he continued,
“who hope and believe in that full frui-
tion of a time when the force of a. treaty
like this, though only a temporary treaty,

upon by posterity as a realization of what
we now call it—the great event of the
nineteenth century. ' .

“I have always regarded as the most
splendid act of Gladstone‘s splendid career
his connection with the Alabama negotia-
tion. The further we get away from that
great transaction the more we see what a
beneficent landmark it was in the history
of civilization.”

After the enthusiastic applause which
followed 'his reference to the arbitration
treaty Mr. Morley turned his attention to
the next session of parliament. He said:

“Ireland again fills the public eye, finan-
cial revelations beginning a controversy

cerning fundamental questions of taxation
deeper than those questions which are of
local importance only.”

After referring to Lord Castletown’s
speech at Cork Dec. 13, 1896, in which it

. was said that England lost the American
colonies by a blunder and that the people -

of Cork might emulate the example set by
the people of Boston on the occasion of
the “Boston tea party,” Mr. Morley con-
tinued: _

“It is true that we lost the American
colonies by a blunder, but we shall not
leselreland, no matter what the blunder
we may make, but We can lose whatever
confidence remains in Ireland in the jus-
tice of the imperial parliament.”

FIFTEEN TOTS DEAD.

Fearful Result of the Eire at the Buckner
Orphan Home.

and boys are dead as a result of the fire at
the Buckner Orphan home, and nine others
are seriously burned and crushed. Three
of the injured, it is thought, cannot recov-
er. The fullness Of the holocaust was not
discovered and fully realized until last
night.

The fire, which commenced about 10
o’clock Friday night and raged until the
boys’ dormitory was destroyed, did not
cool enough for search for bodies in the
ashes until yesterday. At that time it was
thought that only five children had been
burned to death. When the ashes had cooled
enough to admit of a search, scores of
sympathizingfitiends and neighbors began
the sad task of finding’the bodies of‘the
five whom it was known had perished.

The search had hardly been instituted
when the terrible truth that there were
more than five bodies in the ashes appear-
ed. The search continued until the ruins
were fully explored and 15 bodies had been
found. ”

'

Forgets His Name.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 18.—There is a man
at the Maryland University hospital‘who
does not remember his name nor his home.
He was found wandering on the streets by
a policeman and was surprised when told
that he was in Baltimore. He complained
of pains in his head when asked to remem-
ber whence he came. He knows what has
happened since he was found, but as to
anything that occurred before that time
his mind is blank. Professor Miles, the
specialist in nervous diseases. says the man
is suffering from aphasia. His description
tallies with that of John Allen of Suffield,
Conn., who disappeared from that place.
He says the name John sounds familiar.

 

A Horrible Tragedy.

RUGBY, Tenn, Jan. 18.—-Benjamin L.
Davies, proprietor of Tabbard inn at this
place, cut his wife’s throat with a razor,
killing her. and then shot himself to death
with a pistol. Mr. Davies was an invet—
erate cigarette F‘lllOkOl‘, and his friends at
Rugby think that this practice had a de-
lirious effect on his brain and that his
rash act was committed while he was la-
boring under temporary mental aberration.
He was known to smoke from six to ten
packages of cigarettes a day. Davies and
his wife are well known in Cincinnati and
Buffalo. Both bodies will be taken to
Buffalo for interment.

Tillman Gives. It Up.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 18.—Hon. G. N. Till-
man, Bcpublican, who recently filed a no-
tice of contest of thewlection of Hon. Rob-
ert L. Taylor, DemOcrat, as governor, has
announced his withdrawal from the con-
test. The legislature passed a bill a day
or two ago requiring a contestant for the
office of governor to give a $25,000 bond
for the costs of the contest, and Mr. Till-
man, while believing he was elected, says
he is unwilling to assume the personal
risk of having a partisan majority impose
the penalty of a $25,000 fine.

 

Society Leader Arrested.

BROCKTON, Mass, Jan. 18.—Harry S.
Richmond, a prominent young lumber
dealer and society leader in this city, has
been arrested on a charge of forgery. It is
alleged that he has- used the names of ex—
Mayor Whipple, president of the Wildey
Savings bank of Boston; Frederick S.
Richmond and Walter C. Flagg and that
the notes, aggregating $4,800, are held by
a. Randolph bank.
