New YORK, Nov. pa dispatch to

hANNA'S ASPIRATIONS.

Prefers Seat In the Senate From Ohio
to the Treasury Portfolio.
CLEVELAND, Nov. pa close friend
of Chairman Hanna has explained un-
der what circumstances M1. Hanna
would accept place in the cabinet.
"Mr. Hanna" he said, "will either
go into the cabinet or he will be the
next Republican United States senator
from Ohio. Mr.. Hanna's course must
be decided by Senator John Sherman.
Both the chairman and Mr.. Mckinley
understand that, and they are waiting
to learn what position Mr.. Sherman
will take. Mr.. Mckinley wants Mr..
Hanna to accept the treasury portfolio,
but Mr.. Hanna has other aspirations.
He believes it would be greater homo.
to be senator from Ohio. But Senator
Sherman stands in the way of that.
Mr.. Mckinley will offer Senator Sher-
man the position of secretary of state,
and if he
Declines to Go Into the Cabinet,
then MIR. Hanna will accept the posi-
ton of secretary of the treasury
Should Mr.. Sherman decide, however,
to become one of President McKinley's
advisers, thus vacating his seat in the
senate, Mr.. Hanna will become his
successor. Mr.. Mckinley will not de-
eide on his course until he learns ex-
actly what position Senator Sherman
will take''
This same friend of Mr.. Hanna said
that it had practically been decided
that Congressman Boutelle of Maine
would be secretary of the navy. Despite
the fact that both General Miles and
Colonel Fred Grant held conference
with Mr.. Mckinley, neither Of them,
says this gentlemen, will get the port
folio of war.

FAR FROM SATISFACTORY.

Catholics of Canada Not Pleased With
the School Question Settlement.
MONTREAL, Nov. 23.-The terms Of
settlement of the Manitoba school ques-
ton as agreed upon by the Dominion
and Manitoba governments are far
from giving satisfaction to the Cath
olics of Quebec. Archbishop Langevin
of Manitoba has sounded the keynote
of discord in an Interview, and the
French papers of this province have
taken it up. He is reported as saying ::
"Certainly the settlement is not satis-
factory, and, what is more, it will be
far from satisfying Quebec. We have
been sold; Quebec has been betrayed,
but I tell you there will be revolution
in Quebec which will ring throughout
Canada, and these men who today are
triumphant will be cast down. The
fight has only begun"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Secretary
Morton, in his fourth annual report

into the treasury since March 7, 1898,
over 81, 600, 900 out of total appropria-
tions of 1l,179, ,455.45. That this great
economy was effected without any loss
of efficiency he attributes in large de-
gree to the improvement in the person
mel of the force under civil service
rules, which he declares to be "abso.
lutely indispensable to the maintenance
of all economic and efficient admins

To complete 1.-The already almost
perfect system of civil SERVICE in his

the appointment of a permanent di-
rector in charge Of bureaus and scien-
tifc Investigations. The chiefs Of
scientific bureaus and their assistants,
he declares, are not adequately COM
pensated, and strongly recommends
that the salaries of this class of en-

the whole tariff, in considerate and
conservative spirit, to the end that a
bill might be passed that would stand
the test of years, subject, of course, to
