HANNA'S VISIT TO WASHINGTON

suit with ambitious politicians with re-
spect to their Cabinet preferences.
Neither would Mr.. Hanna throw any
light on the report that he himself will
be member of Mr.. McKinley's political
household. There is well settled opin-
ion among those who have an intelli-
gent understanding of the situation,
that while Mr. Hanna could have any
appointment under the President-elect
that he desires, he will prefer to remain
in private life, and that this will be his
ultimate decision.
The Secretaryship of the Treasury, to
which popular report has assigned him.
will, it is thought, be given to Congress-
man Dingley of Maine. The only objec-
ton to his appointment is the difficulty
of finding a suitable successor for him
Means Committee. Mr.. Dingley has had
so long and varied an experience in the
House, and he is SO thoroughly familiar
with the intricacies of the tariff, that it
is feared the party would be distinct
loser by removing him from the arena
in which he has been so long conspicu-
Gus figure. 1t is this consideration, and
this only, that initiates against his
chances. There are many, however,
who assert that the treasury portfolio
will be given to him, Notwithstanding
these objections, although it is conf
IDENTIFY stated that up to the present time
no tender of a Cabinet place has been
made to any one.
The gossip which connects Senator
Sherman's name with the State Depart
ment is thought to rest upon reason
able basis of possibility, but it is de-
MED that Mr.. Hanna's presence in
Washington is to confer with him re-
specting the matter. 1t is regarded as
more likely that Mr.. Hanna is more in
terested in learning the views of pub
lie men upon questions of policy than in

on q Railway Train.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Mrs. Annie Vein
stein, a demented woman, who had
been an inmate of the Poorhouse at
Dunning, and had left that institution
after a quarrel with employees, fright
ened a carload of passengers into
panic this morning on a ST. Paul line
train which was coming into the city
from Dunning. She rushed across the
aisle of the car, grabbed a knife vio-
lently from the hand of a man who was
using it to peel an apple, and rushing
to one end of the car made a frantic
attempt to kill herself. She waved
the weapon in the air, uttering piercing
screams at some imaginary object, and
tried several times to run the knife in
to her heart. Men were afraid to go
near her, and women scrambled out of
the car. Two passengers finally over
powered her. Being missed when the
train reached Chicago, the woman was
allowed to go her way.

PETROLEUM FOR FUEL.
How It Is Being Used in the United
States Navy.
An Important Problem which Now Seems
to BE Very Near Solution-Advan-
tages Claimed for a New
Invention.

According to report just made by a
board of chief engineers, United States
navy, the ancient problem of using
crude petroleum instead of coal as fuel
for vessels is very near solution, if not
already solved.
Experiments have been in progress
for more than year, chiefly in the
Hudson river, with torpedo boat No. 2,
belonging to the Maine. They have re-
suited so happily. that the engineers
have made report favoring the
adoption of the fuel under given condi-
tons upon certain minor craft, such as
tug boats and torpedo boats. If the
results foreshadowed in this report
shall be realized revolution is at hand
in the fuel for war ships and all ocean
going craft.
The experimental board of naval
engineers consists of Chief Engineer
II. S. Ross, of the Massachusetts,, and
Chief Engineers Lewis j. Allen and
George Currier, Jr. They were de-
signated about a year ago by Chief
Engineer G. w. Melville, engineer in
chief of the bureau of steam engineer
ing, United States navy, to experiment
with an invention submitted by j. S.
Zerbe, chief engineer of the CONSOLE
dated Gas company. They have SUBJ
mitted the apparatus to the severest
possible test.
The tests of a new fuel for steam YES
sells are cheapness, ease of operation,
economy of room and general efficiency.
The board reports favorably upon the
Zerbe apparatus in respect of all these
points. The evaporation was found to
be IL. IS, 10 and 20 pounds of water, at
