 States Senator Territorial Library CANTON, O., Nov. 14.-Major Me Kinley has not definitely decided as yet upon a single member of his cab met. It is not likely that more than one member of his official family will be chosen before the holidays. After a starting point has been determined the situation will be very much simpli- fled.
 When a man has devoted all of his time and attention for months to speechmaking, hand-shaking, and the consideration of the difficult questions of political nature which naturally arise with frequency during the cam paign, and is then elected president of the United States and buried for days under an avalanche of congratu- latory messages, it cannot be expected that he should emerge from all this with an elaborately planned and care fully organized government within week after election day.
 Major Mckinley is still receiving let ters and telegrams of congratulation, and they will continue to come for some days and weeks longer. It is singular fact that messages congrat- ulating him upon his nomination were received from Texas and certain parts of Indiana as late as October 20.
 There is no doubt whatever about the position which MT. Hanna occupies in reference to the cabinet. It is univer- sally conceded by those who know him best, and those who know Major Me Kinley, that the latter would be glad to offer him a portfolio. MT Hanna has said frequently of late, and with unmistakable emphasis, that he does not care to enter official life in Wash ington at this time. He has great bus mess interests which demand his at tention, and as he has already given up whole year of his time to politics, he feels that he ought not to make a further sacrifice at present. It is not improbable that he may become a can didate for the senate of the United States. Senator Sherman's term of of flee will expire on the 4th of March, 1899, and his successor is to be chosen by the Ohio legislature one year from next January. It is understood that MT. Hanna is likely to be candidate for MT. Sherman's seat.
 Senator Sherman has been frequently discussed by unauthorized makers of cabinets, in connection with the po- sition of secretary of state. His long experience as chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations has doubtless caused him to be frequently considered as one likely to be chosen as the head of the department of state It is not at all probable, however, that Senator Sherman will be a member o1 Major McKinley's cabinet. He has frequently said that he had no desire to be secretary of state, and that the duties of that office would not be al all to his taste. While Senator Sher. man has great knowledge of foreigr affairs, he does not possess the diplo matic quality in high degree, and he has said the social responsibilities o the office would be irksome, if not ir ritating, to him. He is very old mar now, and not desirous of assuming ad ditional or unaccustomed responsibili ties.
 Mrs. Mckinley is being subjected daily to great deal of annoyance b, the inconsiderate writers of beggin, letters. She receives large number of ridiculous and preposterous re quests. For the last three weeks sh has received daily upward of twelv begging letters from churches and re ligious societies. There must be
 general conspiracy on the part of cer tain of these organizations to take ad vantage of the situation and indulg in a veritable hold up." From thi time forward probably such letter will be stopped by the private secretar and never reach their destination. Las week a man wrote and said that h was in destitute circumstances an that unless Mrs. Mckinley sent hi1 $50 within thirty-six hours she woul hear of something terrible that ha happened to him. This was a batter threat of suicide for the purpose ( eXtorting money, and the writer dt serves severe punishment.
