Senator Harris, a Democratic member
Of the Finance committee said that he
would resist by every legitimate means
any measure calculated to increase the
tariff He added that if more revenue
was needed it could be easily secured by
the increase of the tax on beer.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama, predicted
that there would be no tariff legislation
at this session and added thG1 he would
vote for increasing the tax on beer The
Senator was asked concerning Cuba and
expressed his sympathy with the island,
but said he did not favor any action by

the country in war This is directly OPP

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Sher-
man, of Ohio, to-day gave a statement
to the Evening Star making fiat and
emphatic denial Of the reports concerning
a deal between himself and Mr.. Mark
Hanna as to the Ohio Senatorship and a
cabinet portfolio under Mckinley. Mr..
Sherman says that the stories alleging
an arrangement whereby he (ShermanJ
should go into the cabinet and Mr. Hanna
succeed him in the Senate, are pure
fabrications. He has not, he says, seen
either Mr. Mckinley or Mr.. Hanna
since the election and has had no cor
respondence with them save Of the most
ordinary character, chiefly forwarding
applications for Office made through him.
There have been, he continued, no ar
rangements or conferences of any kind
as to office.
Regarding whether he would be a can
didate for reelection to the Senate, Mr..
Sherman said that he had not thought
anything about it and therefore would
not answer any questions on that sub
jeet.
