triumphantly elected to the highest Office
in the gift OF the people of the grandest
and most powerful republic the world has
ever seen; and, whereas, his election has
been accomplished by such an apso
lutte majority of votes as to make
it an epoch in the history OF
our nation, adding to his triumph a dis
tinction never before accorded to Presi-
dent-elect and thereby rejecting honor
and credit not only on him as a man anu
a citizen. but on us as his comrades, and
on this post, in which he has always been
an honored comrade; therefore,
"Resolved, That we do most heartily
congratulate Comrade Mckinley, not only
on the unparalleled and brilliant cam
paign he conducted, but on his election to
the most exalted Office he has been called
to fill.
Resolved. That this memorial be pre-
served on the records of this post and

of time when Gomez will be under the
walls of Havana itself. The Americans
In Havana, nearly all of whom are In
sympathy with the revolution, are not SO
sanguine, but they believe that if Gomez
and Maceo hold out until Presidert-elect
MCKINLEY is inaugurated and the new
congress is i'll session. when American in
tervention is expected, they will win.
The Americans do not lay much store
by public sentiment in Havana, because
the Cuban is as easily elated by victory as
he is depressed by defeat. The American
contingent is the only part of the foreign
colony in Havana which leans toward the
rebellion. This probably accounts for the
intense hatred the Spaniards entertain to.
ward Americans.
The Germans, Frenchmen and English
men all incline toward the Spanish side,
and have given Weyler numerous as
surances of their sym pathy.
An incident occurred the other day
which painfully illustrates the discredit
into which American citizenship has
fallen.
An American bookseller of the name of
Wilson with place in one of the princl-
pal streets had sign out in front OF his
store which read 1.-The American Book
store" In one of the outbursts OF Spanish
wrath following the Newcastle (Del.) flag
incident a crowd collected about the store
and threatened to loot it. Wilson became
frightened and changed the sign to sThe
English Bookstore" There were no more
threats made

PANIC AMONG PASSENGERS.
Frantic Attempts of Demented Woman
to Commit Suicide in a Crowded
Railroad Car.

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 5.-Mrs. Annie
Weinstein, demented woman, who had
been an inmate OF the poorhouse at Dun
ming and had left that institution after a
quarrel with employees, frightened a car
load of passengers into panic this morn
ing on St. Paul line train which was
coming into the city from Dunning.
She rushed across the aisle of the car,
grabbed knife violently from the hand
of man who was using it to peel an
apple and running to an end of the car
made a frantic attempt to kill herself
She waved the weapon in the air,
uttering piercing screams at some
imaginary object and tried several times
to run the knife into her heart. Men
were afraid to go near her and women
scrambled out OF the car. Two passengers
finally overpowered her. Being more
composed when the train reached Chicago
the woman was allowed to 60 her own
way.

Amusing Incidents of the Late
Campaign Related by the
Visitors.
Obj ct of the Trip to Washington Is
TO Make Fnal Arrang ments
for the Inaugural.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 5.-Mark
Hannas presence in Washington to-day
did not give rise to flood OF Cabinet
speculation that had been anticipated, for
the very satisfactory reason that he an
nounced early this morning that he was
here to perfect arrangements for Mr.. Nc
Kinley's inauguration and not TO consult
with any one with respect to their Cabinet
preference Neither would Mr.. Hanna
throw any light on the report that he
himself would be a member OF Mr.. Nc
McKinley's official household,
There is well defined opinion among
those who have an intelligent understand
ing of the situation that while Mr.. Hanna
could have any appointment under the
President elect that he desires, he wishes
to remain IN private life and that will be
his ultimate decision The Secretaryship
of the Treasury, to which popular report
has assigned him, will, it Is thought. be
given to Congressman Dingley of Maine.
The only objection to his appointment is
the difficulty of finding suitable sue
cessor for him in the chalrmanship of the
Ways and Means Committee.
Mr.. Dingley has had so long and va
ried an experience in the House, and he
is so thoroughly familiar with the iltrica-
cies of the tariff that it is feared the party
would be distinct loser by removing him
from the arena in which he has been so
long a conspicuous figure.
1t is this consideration and this only
that initiates against his chances. There
are many, however, who assert that the
Treasury portfolio will be given to him
Notwithstanding these objections, al
though it is confidently stated that up to
the present time no tender of Cabinet
place has been made tc any one.
The gossip which connects Senator
Sherman's name with the State Depart
ment is thought to rest upon reasonable
basis of probability, but it is denied that
M. Hannas presence in Washington is
to confer with him respecting the matter.
1t is regarded as more likely that Mr..
Hanna is more interested IN learning the
views of public men upon questions OF
policy than in selecting members of the
Cabinet.
Mr.. Hanna to-day met President Cleye-
land for the first time. He was intro
duced by General Horace Parter of New
York, the other gentlemen in the party
being Senator Proctor of Vermont, Repre-
sentative Babcock of Wisconsin and
Henry G. Payne, the National Committee
man from that State. Their stay did not
exceed fifteen minutes.
The time was consumed in an informal
chat, in which the President and his Wis
itors related several amusing incidents of
the late campaign, but beyond this poll
tics were not discussed. The President
was in an agreeable frame of mind and
Mr.. Hanna remarked, after leaving the
White House, upon the courtesy and affa-
bility with which Mr.. Cleveland had
greeted them.

Grand Army Hen Rejoice In the EIevd-
ton of ComrGde Mckinley.
CANTON, OHIO, Dec. 5.-The President
elect had another active day. Congress-
men were numerous and Office seekers
who came to make ''social calls" were
more numerous. Representative Albert
J. Hopkins of the Eighth Illinois District
was an early caller and had long talk
with Major Mckinley.
Mr.. Hopkins Is chairman of the Ways
and Means Subcommittee on Recipro-
city and it was of reciprocity legislation
he came to talk. He carried away the
impression that Major Mckinley would
gladly support any suitable legislation de-
sired to redeem the promise of the Repub-
lican National platform on the subject OF
reciprocity.
Representative George E. Foss OF illinois
was also a caller at the Mckinley resi-
dence to-day. He lunched with Major
Mckinley, and joined him and Charles G.
Dawes in a short walk about the streets
of Canton at noon. Mr.. Foss is member
of the Committee on Naval Affairs, and
told the President-elect something of the
work the committee had in hand. The
local Grand Army post, OF which Major
Mckinley is a member, has adopted these
resolutions:

PIERRE. S. D., Dec. Sat o'clock
tonight Attorney Richard Wood, one OF
the Republican electors, appeared before
the Supreme Court and asked for an al
tentative writ of mandamus ordering that
certificates of election be given to the
Republican electors on the vote as now
before the board, excluding the votes of
Lawrence and Butte counties, which give
the Populists about 700 majority and the
leaving out of which would give the Re-
publican electors a majority.
The court refused TO grant an alterna-
tive writ, but granted an order to show
cause why a peremptory writ should
not issue ard set the answering of the
same for December II. No action was
taken in regard to the count on Congress
men and it cannot be learned whether
any action will be taken or not.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Dec. 5.-Among
the passengers on the steamship VigiIan-

was young American who has been en- :
gagged in business in Havana tor several
years.
Just before the steamer sale he saws.
rumors were spread about the city to the
effect that the insurgents we're displaying
unusual activity in the provinces of
Matanzas, Pinar del Rio and Santa Clara.
A body of daring horsemen dashed up to
within six miles of Havana, burned a
plantation and escaped before the SQUAD
ron of cavalry sent out to meet them got
to the scene.
Such incidents as this, which short
time ago would have created a profound
sensation, are alarmingiy frequent now.
the American said. They produce the
double effect of demoralizing the Spanish
soldlery and shaking the belief OF resi-
dents of the city in the ability of Weyler
to keep the insurgents away from
Havana.
Outwardly the city is quiet, but under
the surface there is much disappointment
at the MANAGEMENT of the Spaniards in
both the military and civic departing nts.
A third of the inhabitants are friends of
the revolution and many others sympa-
thiZe with it. The rest are with the Span
ish. The Government cannot punish men
now as it could formerly for reasonable
utterances, as it is afraid of precipitating
serious trouble.

will surely fall into his hands. His cav

Perry s. Heath Will Probably Be Sc
Iected for the Place.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Sit is
gossiped here among the friends of Perry
S. Heath that he aspires to be private
secretary to President-eect Mckinley.
Mr.. Heath's home is at Muncie. Ind. For
fourteen years ne was Washington cor
respondent, and acquired wide acquaInt-
ancs with public men. Mr.. Heath was
for eight or nine years Washington CORE
spondent of the Indianapolis Journal.
He might have been made private Sec
rotary to President Harrison, but did not
press his claims for that position, so
Elijah Haliord, his former managing ed
itor, received the appointment. Mr.. Heath
was an intimate friend of Major Mckinley
when the latter was member of Con-
gress, and when Heath became editor and
proprietor of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette he Immediately commenced to
boom his friend the major for the Presi-
dency.
Heath was at the st. Louis Convention
in charge of the literary bureau at the
Southern Hotel, aud be did his work so
we'll that after McKinIey's nomination he
was made chief of the bureau of literature
at the Chicago Republican campaign
headquarters. 1t is believed that McKin-
ley has decided upon Mr.. Heath for prl-
Yate secretary.
This pleases the old-time friends of the
ex-Washington correspondent. and all
along newsraner row is expressed the
hope that Mr.. Heath may be highly hon.
ored by the incoming administration.
Mr.. Heath is now en- route to Mexico, and
will return TO Indiana nv Christmas

RESTORATION or TONNAGE DUES
German Newspapers Declare That cIeye-
land Issued the Proclamation to In
crease HIS Own Popularity.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Dec. 5.-Comment-
ing upon the proclamation of President
Cleveland restoring tonnage dues upon
German vessels, the National Zeitung
says that the tonnage dues at Hamburg,
Bremen and other ports will surely be in
creased, but solely for the purpose of i'm
proving the harbors for the general bene-
fit of shipping, and not for state purposes,
as in America.
''Foreigners having their own wharves
in Germany" the paper adds, German
shippers must build their own wharves in
America; Germany will now be deprived
of the advantages she obtained in 1888,
the sacrifice being imposed upon German
ship-owners.
The Frelssinnige Zeitung estimates that
the North German Lloyd Steamship Com
pany alone will be subjected to an in
creased expenditure of 10000 marks and
the Hamburg-American line will suffer to
almost as great an extent.
The Cologne Gazette regards President
Cleveiand's proclamation as an effort on
his part to retire from office in blaze of
glory. The Presidents assertion that
state tonnage dues are levied at German
ports. however, is erroneous, as the dues
| imposed are solely for the use OF special
port facilities. In conclusion the Gazette
expresses hope that in the enforcement of
the proclamation 'seyen in the case OF
Germans in America" the American
courts will see that the principle of right
and justice is upheld, and that meanwhile
Germany may convince America that
such an infringement of German rights
| cannot be accepted.
