President Griswold of the company was at

not legal. and If the Commissioners at

grounds we base our contention that these
bills are illegal. 1t will all come out when
the case gets into court
1t Seems. upon investigation that when
the commissioners paved E street from
South Capitol to Sd. the Anacostia railroad
was ordered to bring Its tracks to grade
ana pave the space between them and for
two .eet adjacent thereto with the same
material as that with which the street

EtDA PESTH. November 25.-In the

celebration and expressed the loyalty of
the house to the crown.
Baron Banffy. the premier. announced
that Emperor Francis Joseph would for
mally open the diet Thursday at the pal
ace. whereupon Deputy komkathy, Kos
suthist. stated that he and his friends
could not attend the ceremony adding that
tEe KING ought to open the diet in the par
which the black and yellow flag of Austria
w$Ne ed.
In reply Baron Banffy said there was no
warrant for these objections, as no law
obllged the k.rg to open the diet in the
parliament house. and therefore his
majesty would open the session in the
palace. surrounded by the d.gnitaries of
Hrrgary and over the kings residence
would oe displayed the national and Croa-
tian tricolor and the standard of the reign
ing house.
This announcement was greeted with loud
cheering.

QUAY AND WANAMAKER.
Surprise mt the Formers Declared
Opposition.

The unusual frankness of Senator Quay
in declaring himself so positively in oppo-
sition to Wanamaker for United States
Senator causes some surprise. He an
nounced his opposition to Wanamaker as
soon as he arrived in Washington last
night. and refused to be quoted for any
thing beyond that. Penrose, w. R. An
drews, Capt. Clark State Senator Sayles
District Attorney Holland Of Montgomery
county and Representative Hicks called on
Quay today. Penrose first called on Came
ron and had long talk with him. 1t is
doubted whether Quay will more than
make a pretense of friendliness towards
Penrose's ambition to go to the Senate.
personal friend Of Penrose claims that QUAY
will support Penrose. but 1t is believed that
there will be another side to that. 1t has
been thought by some that there would be
time when Quay would have to yield to
Wanar1aker. and consequently they are
surprised at his being now so positive in
his opposition. There Is some speculation

HANNA FOR SENATOR
The Program Said to Be Marked Out in the
Buckeye State.
Senator Sherman to BE Made Secrc-
tnry of State and Gov. Bushnell
to Appoint His Successor.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEV ELAND, Ohio, November 25.-
There is no longer any doubt here that
NJ. A. Hanna wants to be a statesman. He
does not want to act merely as an advisor
in the next administration, nor is he anx-
ious to begin his career in national politics
as a cabinet minister. He knows no bet
ter way to launch bis political craft upon
the political seas than by becoming Sen
ator Of the United States. Mr.. Hanna has
not the time to become Secretary of the
Treasury. The only way in which he can
become Senator Is by the resignation Of
Senator Sherman. who. according to pro-
gram. is to be made Secretary of State.
Mr.. Hanna refused this morning to say
what his ambitions were in the matter.
He has not talked about his desires at any
time during the campaign, but his intimate
political associates do not hesitate to say
that he does not desire to enter the cabi-
net of President-elect Mckinley, but that
ne wants and expects to succeed MIR. Sher-
man. This plan Is not news, but 1t was
once more verified this morning by one of
the Intimate associates of Mr. Hanna, and
1t Is reliable.
The question now remains, will Foraker
and Gov. Bushnell accede to this plan?'
Neither Mr.. Harna nor Maj. Mckinley
nor both are supreme in Ohio, even If they
ton. Both Gov. Bushnell and Senator-elect
Foraker will receive their reward. if the
plan of Mr.. Hanna is consummated. The
governor Is to be renominated and Sena-
tor Foraker will be given a substantial part
of the Ohio patronage for distribution
This arrangement it Is fully believed will
be satisfactory to both factions In Ohio.
Mr.. Hanna'S friends here say that Gov.
Bushnell could. with very poor grace. re-
fuse to accede to any reasonable request
of the President of the United States when
he (the Presidency is an Ohioan, and that
therefore II Mckinley should announce that
ne wanted Sherman in the cabinet and de-
sired to have Hanna succeed the latter in
the Senate Gov Bushnell would perforce
have to make the appointment. Indeed, the
more so would he nave to If Senator Sher-
man himself urged 1t. and If the people of
Ohio desired it. For. they say. should Bush
nell refuse 1t would mean political suicide
for him. OF course it is Foraker's desire to
have Bushnell in the Senate. But Bushnell
cannot appoint himself, neither would he
dare appoint man from the southern part
OF the state, because the immense lake in
tereSts of the northern half demand that
at least one of the Senators shall be from
this part of Ohio. Hence, they argue Mr.
Hanna would be the man. But Hanna will
not go into fill out merely the unexpired
term He VIII want reelection, and he
would secure 1t. too. because the influences
which caused him to be selected to sue
ceed Mr.. Sherman would still be active

They are also charged with confiscating
