4 TARIFF THAT WILL ENDURE. Major Mckinley in Favor of a Measure That Will Secure Permanent Prosperity.

Canton, Oho Dec. 13.--After a week of great activity, Major Mckinley enjoyed restful Sunday He walked to church in the morning and later called at his moth- CTS, where he remained to dinner. There will be a number of visitors of wide repu- tation this week and among them will be Mr. Hanna. it is believed he has made up his mind to go into the cabinet if a place is offered him, as it doubtless will be. There is 10 probability, however, that the two most important places in the cabinet, that of secretary of state and that of secretary of the treasury, will be filled before the middle of January.
 Major Mckinley is giving the problems which confront him due consideration, and he will not permit himself to be hurried. The New York situation Is a most compli- cated one and may be solved by the selec- tion of two cabinet officers from that state, one to man to whom MT. Platt is friend ly, and one particularly acceptable to the original Mckinley men.
 C. N. Bliss, Andrew D. White, Horace Porter, Stewart L. Woodford and J. S., FaSsett are the names most frequently heard here when the New York situation is under discussion.
 Visitors to Canton who have talked with Major Mckinley about tariff legislation in- dicate that he is not in favor of an extreme measure of any sort, and that he impressed upon those congressman with whom he dis cussed the matter the idea that no bill will do that shall not be so fair, so thorough and so adequate that with little revision from time to time 1t will stand for ten or twelve years and give the country all era of normal prosperity and freedom from tar if agitationS.

Texans Demand Revenge.

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 13.-As large a mass meeting as was ever held in this state on a like occasion was held here to-day to express sympathy for the Gu ban patriots. The hall was packed by about two thousand persons. Andrew Jackson Hou.On, son of Sam Hous- ton, the Texas hberator, presided at the meeting Two letters were read from Luis Peneo of Galveston, head of the Cuban junta in Texas.
 Gilbert O. Corsicana, who served in Company G, Twelfth Iowa Volunteers, from 1861 to 1866, wrote from Corsicana that he was ready to raise a regiment to % to Cuba.
 w. A. Miner of Centralia, III, an old Texas boy who served as deputy to United States Marshal Nix in the In- dian territory. said that he would en- list as a soldier from Dallas
 A communication from United States Senator Roger Q. Mills standing by his resolution in the national congre- s eand declaring that it meant war with Spain if necessary, was read and ere ated the widest enthusiasm. Speeches were made by prominent Texans
 Resolutions indorsing the stand talk en by Senator Mills were passed by a unanimous vote. also a resolution de- pIoring the death of Antonio Maceo

Boston Veterans Speak,

Boston, Mass, Dec. 13.-Several we'll known military men here were inter- viewed in regard to the reported kill ing of Maceo, The unanimous verdict was that the flag of truce is the most sacred thing known in the history of warfare, and the man who violates it it punishable by death. General Ma than A. M. Dudley, the famous Indian fighter, said: T cannot believe that either this country or Europe will look on and see such barbarities practiced in i Cuba without interfering. It is clear ly optional with our government whether any action Is taken in this matter or not, but it seems to me that this thing is going to arouse the peo- pie as nothing else in this Cuban bus mess has. l am sure that large ma- jority of the officers of our army are in favor of granting belligerent rights to Cuba. I think you will see a pretty lively time in congress this week."
 Colonel Henry Walker, who served with distinction throughout the civil war; believed this government should take some action in the matter, but hoped that it would not be done in the heat of passion.
 Colonel s. H. Mansfield, United States engineer in charge of the construction of Notifications in Boston harbor, agreed with the other authorities here quoted as to the sacredness of an armistice, and the penalty for violating it, but he preferred not to express an opinion as to the rights of insurgents whose status as beligerents has not been recognized.

THE woR3 BEFORE CONC REss.
Bill May he Shelved-Cuban
 Affairs-The Dingiey Bill.


 Washington, Dec. 13.-The intellectual effort of last week to sidetrack the im- migration bill indicates that that measure will be maintained as the un- finished business in the senate until it has been put to the final vote.
 By unanimous consent house bill pro- viding for free homesteads on the pub lie lands in Oklahoma territory for ac- tual and bona fide settlers and reserv- ing the public lands for that purpose has been made the special order to fol- low the immigration bill. The home stead bill is likely to arouse some an- tagonism, but it is believed that it will come to vote without unusual delay. MT Morrills resolution prohibiting the use of the Congressional library for the purpose of the inaugural ball is likely to be reported by the commit resolution claim that it will readily pass when it is reported.
 Cuban affairs are also likely to come to the front at any moment.
 MT. Allen, who, the other day, called up the Dingley bill, will do so again when favorable opportunity offers it. self.
 The bill defining the rights of the purchasers of the franchise and prop erty of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail- road company, sold under foreclosure of the mortgage authorized by the act of 1871, will come up, probably on Tues day. It is within the power of the house, under the conditions now pre- vailing, to give as much time as may be desired to the consideration of this measure.
 It is among the probabilities that ad- journment of congress for the holiday recess will be taken on Friday. The subject was discussed by the republi- can member of the committee on ways and means Saturday, but no conclusion was reached. The recess, whenever 1t begins, is expected to extend until Monday or Tuesday after New Year s day.

SUFFERING FROM ASPHYXIATION. Patrick J. Maroney Taken to the Hos-
 pital.

Patrick J. Maroney was taken to the New Haven hospital yesterday morning in an un- conscious condition. He was suffering from asphyXiation caused by the escaping gas in his bedroom at 667 Grand avenue Maroney and Richard P. White, the saloon keeper at 661 Grand avenue, retired late Saturday evening, occupying the same roOm
 As Mr. White is not in the habit of ris- ing early on Sunday morning, nothing was thought of his not putting in an appearance yesterday, until near noon when one of the attendants about the premises went to the room to see if anything was wrong. About this time White was seen to rush toward the window by some pedestrians and to throw the sash up as far as he could He then hurriedly opened the door and called to the attendant to send for physician as he saw that Maroney's condition was such as needed attention. Medical aid did not sent to the hospital in an unconscious ing Maroney to consciousness. He will be out in a few days.
 Mir. White fared very much better than his friend Maroney He will be about his business this morning
 No information could be gained at 667 Grand avenue as to how the accident hap pened. It was said on the street that the gas fixture Is an 0ld-fashioned one and the screw turned all the way around, thus let. ting the gas escape. This could not be yer flied, as the keeper of the house would give out no information. Word was given out at the house that the physician attending White had given orders to allow no one to see him, as 1t was necessary for him to rest.

St. Jouis Would Raise 10, ,OOO Hen.

St Louis, Dec. 13.-Upon the receipt of the news furnished by the United Associated Presses, of the circum- stances of Maceo's death, wave of public indignation rose in this city that is steadily increasing. It is the absorb ing topic of discussion wherever men gather and the treachery of the Span ish genraI is condemned in the strong est language.
 The newspapers are giving it editori- al attention, which such terms as t'Savagery, Murder" and Assassin ation," do double duty, and the Virgin jus affair is given new airing. It is well known that St. Louis is the vest ern depot of the Cuban junta, and in uuiries pour in upon every one sup posed to be connected with the Cuban cause as to the means of enlisting in the Cuban army. Within ten days an army of ten thousand men could be as sembled here to march upon the Dons.

Her death was due to an attack of typhoid-pneumonia. She had been i'll but a comparatively short time, though her condition for several days past had been very critical.

San Francisco Indignant.

San Francisco, Dec. 1S.-The report that General Maceo had been assassi- mated by the Spanish officials was re- ceived in this city with profound in dignation, The staff of the Cuban com- mander was largely recruited from California A nephew of Maceo, aged nineteen, left Oakland on Wednesday last to join his uncles command, and it is generally understood that a con- siderable party of volunteers will fol- low him. In clubs and on the streets to-day the reported assassination was discussed with exceptional warmth and there is a remarkable unanimity of opinion that the report should be thor oughly investigated by the federal au- thorities.
