"Help me. Cassius, or l sink, ' was the substance Of q commuulcs- { tsou from Mr. Mckinley. Of Ohio, 10 { sha national executive committee of the Republican party, which met here this week. The story. as 1t Is told herc, is that Mir. Mckinley sent a very urgent appeal to the committee tor . large sum of money to be used in the Ohio campaign, and that he sent along with 1t very broad inti- maiiou thpt unless it was forthcoming she lIg was np with both himself and the legislature la that state. He is also sald 10 have suggested that the commigtce might easily raise the money by putting the screws on the manufacturers specially benefited by hls tariff blil. And that was not the only appeal for money pre- senfel to the committee. Mir. ClsrksJn told his cot leagues that unless good sized bar rol oi czsh wss rolled into Iowa that state would take i,s place perma- nently ln the Democratic column, and Secretary Fassett presented bills for considerable sraount left unpaid from lsst years disastrous campaign But these were minor things aud ex- cited bat little interest compared vita ths resignation of Quay, not only xs chairman Of the two con mii- tees. but as . member Of the national committee, and the resignation of Dudley as treasurer of both commit tees. There was s good dnal of pre- tended regret st being compelled to accept these rcsignations, and high hyiag resolutions were adopted re. ferring 10 both of them which will probably bs regarded by the retiring officials ss "ysndlcstions.
 Mr. Harrison tried to stem the Blaine tide which controls the Re-. publican committee by appointing one ef its members, ]. Sloat Fassett, Of New York. to be collector of the port of New York in place of Err hsrds, whose resignation has been accepted. Hsrmony of the monkey and parrot kind is prevalent in the treAsury department just now. At least three of Secretary Fosters most important sabordinates would hail with pleasure the news that he had resigned, and they would resign themselves if It wasn't for the fact of their having to give up tbeir salaries if they did. The snbordinates men, toned are Assistant Secretary Crounse, Treasurer Nebeker and Immigration Commissioner Owens. all of whom are recent arrivals at the government trough. The trouble with the first two is that Mir. Foster, with the warning of the Rum case fresh In his mind, refused to allow them to appoint their sons to be their private secretaries, and Mir. Owens is disgruntled because his opinion that Welch tin plate workers could be brought 10 the uaited States under contract without violating the alien contract law has been repudiated by the sec retsry, who has written smother stter 10 the party who made the en- quiry, stating that the department was not prepared st this time to am swer hypothetical questions, such as the one propouBded. Is Is ssid that Mir. Foster also took occasion to give Me. Owens a very sharp lecture on the duties of subordinate officials.
 Mir. Wapsmaker has led delsga. tlon of Alabsmians, headed by Sens. tors Morgan and Pugh io believe that he would fsvorably consider their re. quest 10 make Mobile one Of the ports from which . subsidized line Of steamships will Fan to South America.
 With a great flourish uf trumpets the announcement is made that a reciprocity treaty has been negotiated with the mighty Rspablic of Ssn Domiu 70, which wlil go Into effect September l.
 Members of the administration have already begun to discuss the ways and means of rsisins money that wiii be absolutely necessary Co have in the near future Co meet pea siou payments under the present laws. Some sort of new tax has got to be imposed, sad the most of them seem inclined Co put lt ca whiskey by raising the revsaae from 90 cents per gallon Co something ee. tween sl.20 aud sl 60 per gallon. However, al thst sha administration esa dc is Co make saggestions--the Dem ocrstic house Of representatives wili determine what shsll bs done.
 Senator Shermsn's friends are try. ing hard to make it appear thai ibsy look lightly upon the opposition of the Farmers Alliance GO his Fe-elee. ton, but in reality they regard C as such serious nsa'i~s ss-t sss,lss 2
