HALE WANTS REVENUE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Senator Hale
today expressed the opinion that the
senate would take up and, he hoped,
pass the Dingley bill at the coming ses-
sion, beginning next Monday.
I'VE ought to have it," he said, "for
the treasury reports show the great
need of more revenues. While I would
not attempt to speak for all of them. l
am satisfied that some of the silver Re-
publicans will give their assistance to
pass the bill, and 1 cannot believe the
Democrats will put any unusual OBJ
structions in the way of the success of
the measure. Furthermore, 1 am quite
persuaded that Mr.. Cleveland would not
veto the bill if it should be presented to
him.
HANNA'S HOPES.
CLEVELAND, O., Dec. Hon. M, A.
Hanna and his wife went to Canton this
morning and returned this evening. The
day was quietly spent by Major McKin-
ley and Mr. Hanna in conference the
last they will have before Mr. Hanna
goes to take up his work in WASHINGTON
preparatory to the Inauguration. NJ.
Hanna will probably go to Washington
on Friday, and while there he will con-
fer with Senator Sherman.
The approaching departure of Chair
man Hanna for Washington has renew
ed the gossip concerning the cabinet ap-
pointments of President Elect McKin.
ley.. 1t is confidently believed that when
he goes to Washington he will bear with
him message from Mr. Mckinley offer
ing the position of secretary of state to
Senator Sherman.
With respect to the possibility of Sena-
tor Sherman accepting the place, Col
onel Allan L. Brinsmaide, who is warm
friend of Mr.. Sherman, said today that
the senator was willing to bow to the
Will of his constituents. If they desired
him to remain in the senate he would do
so, but if they willed it otherwise he
would acquiesce without a murmur

GOLD DEMOCRATS
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. Twill
iana IA4}ynum, chairman of the nation
al committee of the national Democrat
ic party who has been in the east con-
ferring with the leading men of the par
ty, returned home last evening and an
nounced that he had called meeting of
the executive committee of the party for
December 10 in this city. The commit
tee at this meeting will probably decide
on the future course of the party From
all over there has come a demand that
the organization be made permanent
and remain in fighting trim so long as
the free silver Democrats continue to
talk fight. 1t seems certain that this will
be the policy decided upon
PERKINS PROGRAM.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. Limited
States Senator George c. Perkins left
for Washington this evening in order to
be present at the opening of congress
next Monday. He will not return until
the final adjournment of the senate and
will probably not be present at the state
legislature when the election of Unit
ed States senator to succeed him comes
up. His interests will be in the hands of
his friends and at present there seems
little doubt that he will be reelected.
He has more than enough votes pledged
to elect him and in the absence of for
midable opponent the race promises to
be a wlakover. Samuel Shortridge has
three votes pledged and his name will
be presented, but he is unlikely to gath
er strength. Thomas V. Gator, the Pop
ulist candidate. would have been
prominent candidate if the fusion ticket
had been successful. AS it is he is not
| likely to receive the full Democratic
| vote, although the Populists will sup
! port him.

There is no place in the gift of the
president that would tempt me to giys
