Canton, O.. Dec. 13.-After a week of

Mckinley is giving the problems which

will not permit himself to be hurried.

acceptable TO the original Mckinley

Horace Porter, Stewart l. Woodford

frequently heard here, when the New
York situation IS under discussion. One
thing is certain, and that is that no
one in New York state has yet been
offered a cabinet portfolio. Candidates
for other than cabinet places are be-
ginning to manifest themselves in
Canton. William NJ. Hahn of Ohio is
an active candidate for the important
position Of commissioner of pensions.
Visitors TO Canton who have talked

Chicago. Dec. 13.-The circumstances
attending the death of Commander
Maceo of the Cuban army have
aroused a feeling of intense indigna-
ton in this city. The stories published
in the morning papers were discussed
at the various clubs and hotels. and
the opinion was almost unanimous that
congress would take summary action
during the coming week. All agreed
that the assassination of Maceo would
do Spain more harm than good
Mr.. Edward F. Cragin, chairman Of
the Cuban relief committee of this
city, said tonight:
If this news of MaceO's death is
corrobOrated, the effect will be to ruin
the cause of Spain Maceo in death

treacherouS, ld-blOOded diabOlicaI

CuDanS and removes the last Vestige
OF reason why we should consider
Spanish feelings. The conservative
spirit VIII not he strong enough to
hold Americans back The vote in con-
sress, where there were only is in the
negative. was a fair index of the feel
ing then, but during the year that has
passed, that feeling has been growing
more and more intense. We NAV
never know just what were the per-
suasionS used by the Spaniards. or
what was the motive of Maceo in going
iato their hands to confer with them,
and thus trust to their honor. / can
not think of anything, unless it was
President Cleveland's message, as
can conceive of no message from the
Spanish government that would receive
any attention from him. But if the
Spaniards should have represented 10
him that the president of the United
states wanted the war to cease. and
had suggested that there might be
some way to bring it about. so that
the honor of Spain could be maintained
and at the same time satisfactory
terms could be made with Cuba and
peace be secured. l can see how such
an argument might influence him. I
nope the one result of this outrage will
be that we will no more hear of the
much-talked-of pride and honor of the
Spaniards- Senator Cullom painted a
pretty dark picture. but he would have
painted darker one had he known OF

pointed under the Raines law with
neglect of duty He demanded the dis
missal of the officers. especially of
Commissioner of Police Wells of
Brooklyn. who. ne said, should be sent
to the penitentiary for trading off law
for votes. DR.. Funk said in part:
1T is a gross trifling with the pub
lie 1t is roaring farce for Senator
Raines and his committee to come
here and ask whether the Raines law
has been violated. and why it has not
been enforced. That law has been vio-
lated on all sides ever since it has been
put in force, with the knowledge of
Senator Raines. with the knowledge
of every newspaper man in the state,
with the guilty knowledge of the po-
lice. of the superintendent of buildings
OF New York and Brooklyn. and with
the guilty knowledge of the district at
torneys. and. most ineXcusable of all,
of the officers appointed under the law
to see to its enforcement.

showing violation of law and order in
