Mr. Hannn's Real Mission Here.
Mr. Hanna has interested himself more
In trying to bring about an understanding
among republicans as to the policy 10 he
followed as to public matters with The aa
vent OF the new administration than he has
IN gratifying curiosity or encouraging am
bit1on as to appointments
Inc several conferences that have hasp

is known that Maj. Mckinley Is very
anxious that the various elements of the
party In Pennsylvania should be brought

he does not feel that the way to do this

of Mr.. Quay.
Democrats ArOused
The democrats have become aroused nv
what has been said about the efforts of the
republicans to get control of the next Sem
ate and 1t is understood that they propose
to take an active hand I'm the contest But
there is by no means an agreement among
them that ii is desirable to have the Sem
ale SO constituted as to render republican
legislation impossible. A number of DEM
ccratfc Senators think that IL would not be
warranted in them to prevent legislation
such as the result of the eec ton indicates
to be demanded. 1t is therefore likely that
the republicans will be independent of the
outcome of any of the pending senatorial
contests, far as their accomplishing
tarin legislation is concerned
The argument in favor of the Dingley DILL
than some steps should DE taken now TO
prevent lie country being flooded with for
egn goods p,rnding the adoption of a new
tariff law. has been met with the PROPOSE
ti6n that the new Law be made to apply to
goods in bond Within a si.ort time after the
passage of TIE act, and thai provisions be
made also for considerable SHORTENING of
the time that goods may be kept n bond
without the payment of duties.
