CLEVELAND, Nov. 14.-Chairman
NJ A. Hanna, General w. M. Osborne,

ICES that he has a hard task on his

Would ex-President Harrison be ac-
ceptable to the McKinleyites for the
Secretary of State portfolio?''
Most certainly, but 1 do not believe
he would accept it. His law partner
has given it out that Mr.. Harrison would
not be in a position to accept the honor.
All kinds of rumors are in the air about
the Secretary of the Treasury. 1t goes
without saying that Mark Hanna can
have anything he wants. The point is,
does he want anything. 1t may take Mr..
Mckinley until week before his inau-
guration before he will have decided on
the complete makeup of his Cabinet"
IF the permanent headquarters of the
organization goes to Washington, who
will be in charger"
The question Of a permanent head
quarters, as far as / know, has not yet
been positively settled upon. The mat
ter rests entirely with Mr.. Hanna. How
ever, if Washington is chosen, | pre-
sumo as Secretary of the National
Committee. l would be placed there"

ATTEMPT TO MURDER A FAMILY
The House of a Pole Wrecked by an
Explosion of Dynamite.

DETROIT (Mich), Nov 14.-The
house of Frank COMO, a Pole living on
TIE Michigan avenue road a mile out
side of the city limits, was wrecked by
an explosion of two sticks of dynamite
at $50 o'clock tonight, and three per-
sons were seriously injured, two of them
probably fatally.
Those injured are: Frank Konjo, body
and legs lacerated, will probably die;
Bob Ewers, both eyes blown out, skull
fractured, will probably die; Josephine
Konjo, daughter of Frank Konjo, badly
cut and bruised. Several other persons
who We're sleeping in the house at the
time of the explosion escaped injury.
The explosion was evidently an at
tempt to murder Konjo and his family
in settlement of an old feud. One of
the charges of dynamite had been
placed under JOsephineS bedroom and
the other under that occupied by Konjo.
Josephine and Ewers were sitting in
Josephine's room when the first explo-
sion occurred, the discharge shooting
Up through the floor into Ewers' face,
part of it striking the girl. Awakened
by the noise of the explosion, Konjo
jumped cut of bed just in time to receive
the full benefit of the second charge.
The victims are frightfully lacerated
and bruised, ard the doctors have little
hope of saving their lives.
The police are looking for a Pole
named Rogolsky, whom the Konjos
charge with having committed the out
rage.

DONE BY BRITISH DETECTIVES

Doing Service for England.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-William Pink

whose testimony in the Ivory case in
London yesterday caused a sensation,
said to a reporter this morning: The
British Government always has secret
service men in its employ in this coun-
try endeavoring> to unravel any plots
which might arise. In connection with
the arrest of lyman recently. for some
reason it was stated that these arrests
were made through our agency. I was
not here at the time, but denied the re-
port in the San Francisco papers. [
want to deny here that we ever assisted
the British Government. In few cases
we have been called upon to assist
Scotland Yard in civil cases, but have
never taken part in a criminal case.
During the Parnell suit against the
London Times the British sent a rep
resentative here to retain our services
in that suit, but my brother and I both
declined the service.
There is no doubt that the British
Government is actively alert for plot
ters in this country, but the work is all
done by British detectives"

AGE TO PROPERTY.

ReScuing Others.

LONDON, Nov. 14-Advices from
Vienna say that great devastation has
been caused by floods in Bosnia, the
reports received from various points
telling of much loss of life and heavy
destruction of property.
One especially tragical incident is re-
ported from Serajevo, the capital of the
province, where thirteen persons lost
their lives while in the act of rescuing
others. Their boats capsized and all
of them were drowned
The lowlands of the province every
where are flooded as the result of the
late heavy rains. while much damage
has been done by the sudden breaking
away, from time to time, of accumu-
iations of water in the mountains,
where pent-up streams burst their bar
riers and sweep downward, carrying
destruction in their path.
Every low-lying section along the
Bosnia and Mighazza has been swept
by water, many houses having been
destroyed. while others are flooded.
1t was in the effort to save a number
of persons who were surrounded by the
swollen Mighazza and unable to gain

VENEZUELA ARBITRATORS.
Sir Richard Webster, Attorney-Gen-

membership in the Venezuelan arbitra-
ton court, as he is committed to an
opinion through his advocacy of the
British case. Sir Edward Clarke, ex-
Solicitor General, and Secretary Fred
erick Pollock, corpus professor of Jurls-
prudence of Oxford University, are also
disqualified, the former through his op-
position to the British claims and the
latter by his support of them.
1t is surmised that Lord Salisbury
will select Lord Herschel, formerly
Lord High Chancellor and now MEM
Der of the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council, and Lord Davey, a Lord
of Appeal in Ordinary and also member
Of the Judicial Committee Of the PriVy

LAWRENCE (Kas). Nov. 14.-In the

College of Nebraska, Speak, who scored
the last touchdown, was tackled by
Zerf while going at a great rate of
speed. Zerf was thrown backward,
hitting the back of his head on the
ground, inflicting injuries which will
probably be fatal. He was unconscious
for several hours. Zerf was injured
very severely in the game between the
same teams several weeks ago, and it
is thought a clot of blood gathered in
the back part of his head. Since then a
slight injury on the head would make
him unconscious and sometimes deliri-
Gus. He was hurt inthe earlier part of
the game, but was allowed to play ON in
q dazed condition.
Later-Zerf died at 11:2O o'clock to-
