Gen. Fitrhugb Leo Likely to he ASKED 10

Has Arrived In Washington.

WASHINGTON. IL c.. Nov. E'-spe-
cial Tho arrival in the city oil ex-oo'-
ernor Merryman, of Minnesota mas
started the rumor that he may be Sec
rctary OF the Treasury in Mckinney
Cabinet. Merryman IS a close friend OF
Hanna. and played an important part IN
scouting the adoption OF gold-standara
platform d. the st. Louis Convention
lie was member of the Platform Com
mittae. and IL understood to have OPP
posed with great force and ability all
propositions TO insert an cquivocal nnan-
cial plank in the platform.
What truth there may be behind the
gossip that connects his maine with the
siecretaryshp of the Treasury, II Is
accepted here with 4 great deal OF Gre
dulity. IL is argued that Mr.. Mckinley
woulo prefer "a Western man as the
head OF the Treasury to a New Yorker.
for the simple reason that there is
general belief that u New York financicr
would be TOO closely connected with
Wall street TO become popular. This
feeling ~ probably based entirely upon
prejudice and misinformation. but it un-
Questionably exists.

GENERAL LEE TO REMAIN.
The belief IS general that General Fitz-
hugh Leo will be asked by MI Mckinney
TO continue as Counsul-General 10 Cuba.
ana that such request Will be generally
approved.
without any regard for politics It Is
conceded In all quarters that General Lee
has conducted himself In trying and
delicate situation with great ability ana
Judgment. If the war in cuba continues
it is thought Mr.. Mckinley will Insist
upon General Lees retention OF his pres
cnt position, as a patriotic duty TO his
country.
CUBAN RUMORS.
There are all manner OF rumors con-
ncctcd with the Cuban situation. the most
startling Of which is that Spain Is anN-
ious TO quarrel with this country, IN
order 10 find an excuse 10 Withdraw from
the fight in Cuba. The story seems
very improbable aud is not attracting
much serious attention. IL was, how
ever. published extensively this morning.

NyN.IIOE SHERuIN
Believes the Dingi-y Bill VIII lie Passed
with Some Changes.

with Some Changes.
NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-senator John
sherman, of Ohio, who is at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. says:
1T will be necessary 10 pass tarin
measure at once. The Dingley bill with
some changes, will do for the present.
The Democrats made great mistake IN
not permitting that bill 10 pass IN the
last Congress. IL was only a temporary
measure intended TO raise the revenue
that the government absolutely needed,
and if the Democrats had let 1t go
through there would have been no neces-
sty for bond issues. and the Democratic
administration would have escaped a
great deal OF the censure and criticism
that was heaped upon it.
Il doubt If the Democrats In the Senate
will oppose the bill. ! should think they
like the silver Senators, would not OBJ
struct legislation. | understand all the
silver men. except Teller and Dubois, are
opposed TO a policy of obstruction. II
the Dingley bill is passed at the coming
session of Congress there will be no ne
cessity for an extraordinary session after
March fth. Considering everything. ]
think that the outlook for the passage Of
the bill is bright.
1T is doubtful If the Republicans will
have a majority in the Senate. No
body can tell yet whether Republicans or
Democrats will 20 TO the Senate from
Kentucky and North Carolina. Until
those States elect their Senators it will
be impossible to say what side will have a
majority"
The Senator was asked IL he knew any
:hing about the makeup of President
elect Mckinley's Cabinet. and If he might
take the treasury portfolio again.
Mckinney is the only man who knows
anything about the Cabinet yet" he re-
piled and have given no thought to
