In its bearing on the international re-
Iations OF the Uuited States, Mckinney

Inc most marked departure anticipated
from President Clevelanu's external policy
relates to Hawaii. A prompt return to
President Harrisons plan for annexation
Is expected III accord with his treaty, which
President Cleveland's first official action
after Inauguration was to withdraw from
tine Senate four years ago.
Not the slightest doubt exists that the
next SecrctaryO OF State Will be i'll complete
harmony with President Harrison in this
matter. as Mr.. Mckinley was well kno wn to
have been. The only other reversal OF
policy looked for is that which must Ie-iit
from the customs tariff revision Gesnand-
ed by the imperative necessity OF lncreas-
ing the revenue Immediately after the 18th
of March
SURE OF REsUSCITATIOS.
The reciprocity arrangements, abrOgatcd
without warning by the WILSON Gorin1u shI,
are regarded as sure OF resuscilatiOn at the
earliest possible moment, and IL Is not
thought how u change i'll sugar duties, IN
| accordance with Mckinley's wel-known
views, could be effected without sweeping
away the friction existing between this
| country and Germany, Austria and other
beet-sugar exporting countries, growing out
| of unequal bounty SYSTEMS and discriminate
ing duties.
III the Tuskish and Cuban affairs no
change whatever is likely To occur. The
issues involved in Turkey have been prac-
ticany Unaltered for thirty years, and all
prccedents now being followed are those OF
Mckiniey's long line OF Republican pre-.
deceSsors. Should the Cuban cOmplica-
ton continue until March, ii is well under4
stood that the United States will pre-
serve its strict neutrality as was done
when Grant was in the White House.
The first practical steps in the Venezue-
Ian controversy having already been ao
complsned there would De no wonder
II IL were entirely settled at any moment
as far as diplomacy goes. This was the
single great advance OF the present ad-
nIinlstrduon after many fruitless efforts
and its successor may have ONLY To insist
upon the execution Of an exhaustive agree
meBt for arbitration.
AT HEADQUARTERS.
The political headquarters in this city
presented great contrast this morning.
The Democrats We're awake, hard at WORK
figuring, waiting IUr returns, defiant the
Republicans were asleep AT the Popu-
list rooms Secretary Edserton was alone
Oh guard, conceding no doubtful State
where figures had not been received.
Ron saIl Ral1Drk and his llel-
tenants were up far INTO the morning hours
receiving at once the congratulations and
returns confirmatory Of the good news
earlier IN the night.
Nothing came in for moment to shake
| their faiTh that Mckinley had swept the
country. When the press associations and
| telegraph offices closed for The night they
went home to bed. AT IL o'clock this
morning they had not returned and head
quarters was wholly deserted.
Gen. Anderson, former commander Of
the Grand Army, who was going up TO
see If anything further had been heard
from Kentucky and Nebraska, turned back
when told that everybody in Il position

FAULKNER'S TABLE.
Senator Faulkner sat at his desk busy.
I'VE DO not concede the election he
SAID. I'VE have yet no figures TO call for
anything OF the kind; If anybody else has,
he has failed to make them public, and II IS
reasonable TO suppose that the opposition
have published everything in hand favorable
| to Mckinley.
