HANNA AND SHERMAN.
Renewal of Report that the Latter
VIII Make Way for the Former.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 1.-The Hon.
Marcus Aurelius Hanna and his wife went
to Canton this morning and returned this
evening. The day was quietly spent by
Major Mckinley and Mr.. Hanna in con-
ference the last they will have before Mr.
Hanna goes to take up his work in WASH
ington preparatory TO the Inauguration. Mr.
Hanna will probably go to Washington on
Friday, and very soon while there he will
confer with Senator Sherman. Mr.. Hanna's s
approaching departure has renewed the
gossip concerning the Cabinet appoint
ments of President-elect Mckinley. 1t is
confidently believed tha. when he goes TO
Washington he will bear with him mes
sage from Mr.. Mckinley offering the posi-
ton of secretary of State to Senator Sher-
man. With respect to the possibility of
Allan L. Brinsniade, who is a warm friend
of Mr.. Sherman. said to-day that the SEN
ator was willing TO bow to the will of his
constituents. If they desired him TO remain
in the Senate he would do so, but IL they
wiiled otherwise he would acquieSce with
out murmur.
To-day's gossip connected the name of a
California man with a Cabinet position.
Judge Waimer. of San Francisco, who was
a member of the advisory committee dur
ing the recent campaign, is named by a
close friend of the President-elect as the
one likely TO get such an appointment. He
is slated either for secretary of interior or
secretary of agriculture

BISHOP BONACUM ROUTED.
Fathers Murphy and Fitzgerald Sus-
tained i'm Their Fight.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Dec. 1.-The final de-
cision in the case of Bishop Bonacum and
his priests, Fathers Murphy and Fitz-
gerald, was rendered tonight The priests
are sustained at every material point. The
case attracted much attention in church
circles and has been before the public since
April, 1925, when Bishop Bonacum, of the
Nebraska Catholic diocese attempted to
discipline Fathers Murphy and Fitzgerald
for alleged infraction OF rules. They denied
his authority TO expel them from the priest
hood and appealed to Rome. The case was
remanded back to the metropolitan court
here, and after several poStponements the
case came up about a month ago, when
testimony was heard. This was referred TO
Father +. A. Baart. of Marshall Mich. He
examined the testimony of both sides and
the church authorities and then presented
his findings TO the ecclesiastical court to-
night, sustaining the priests and against
the course pursued by Bishop Bonacum.
The findings were approved by the court.
This decision is final and ends a case that
has been fought through all the church
courts and six times in the civil courts,
the decision of the latter having always
been against the bishop.
The decision restores Fathers Fitzgerald
and Murphy TO priesthood, gives them the
parishes held before their expulsion by
Bonacum, and prohibits the bishop from
causing them further trouble on account
of their relationship to both parties.

PLACED In COMMISSION.
The Fighting Cruiser brooklyn Added
to Uncle Sans Navy.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 1.-The fighting
cruiser Brooklyn. the newest addition 10
the United States navy. was towed from
Cramps shipyard TO League island navy
yard to-day, where she was formally placed
In commission. The great white cruiser re-
ceived an ovation as she proceeded down
the Delaware past the docks and shipping
OF this city. Blowing OF whistles, ringing
of bells and the shouts OF thousands gath
cred on the boats and docks marked her
progress. After the commandant at the
navy yard. Commodore Howell. had re-
ceipted for and taken possession OF the
Brooklyn for the United States governme mt.
Captain +. y. Cook. Commodore Howell
and the ships officers gathered on her deck
and went through the ceremonies which
formally placed the ship in com Miss on. The
flag OF the Union was run up at her mast
head. the sailors were lined up for n salute
TO their commander and the Brooklyn was
a part OF the navy. Much OF the provisions
and furniture as well as the ammunition
for the guns have been at the yard for
some days, and IL Is expected that all will
be In readiness TO sail In about two weeks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-If reliance is to
be placed on late advices from Canton. Mr..
Mckinley is quite certain to crafty Chair
man Gowdy's ambition TO be appointed to
a European consulate. The city to which
Mr.. Gowdy wishes to be assigned has not
yet been publicly announced. and work in
his behalf seems TO have been largely di-
rected to sounding the feelings of the
President-elect toward the chairman. Ex-
periments along that line appear to have
been satisfactory. assurances having been
given that Mr. Mckinley holds in grateful
remembrance the chairman's useful efforts
to swing Indiana into the Mckinley column
prior to the st. Louis convention. 1t was
represented to Mr.. Mckinley that Chair
man Gowdy's health is none too robust,
and that recognition in the shape of a
lucrative consulate would be the proper
thing. That the chairman does not aspire
higher is a matter of some surprise
Several colored Republicans from Indiana
are among the eco aspirants already in the
field for the office of recorder of deeds of
the District of Columbia, place worth
$1,000 a year, which has been filled for a
dozen years more by negroes. Fred
Douglas and ex-senator Bruce have held
the desk DOWN. incumbent Is a hafSaS
negro, who has made himself so offensive
to the resident population that Mr.. McKin-
ley will be strongly urged to remove him
as soon as he gets warm in his White
House seat and name a Caucasian re-
corder.
The friends Of National Committeeman
Durbin seem to be quite confident that he
will be appointed treasurer of the United
States. Treasurer Morgan, who fills
the office, rather expects to hold on, as he
and his entire bureau actively participated
in the sound-money campaign far as
could be done consistently with official pro-
prieties.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, re-
turned to the city to-day from Canton,
where he visited President-elect Mckinley.
In an interview he said concerning reports
that he was interested in anv place for
himself under the new administration!
There is no place in the gift of the Presi-
dent that would tempt me to give up the
position of senator from Massachusetts
The very fact that went to Canton would

than the one / now occupy" Further than
this the senator would not talk concerning
his visit.
