Represent Ohio In the Senate.


Represent Ohio in the Senate.
Cleveland, November ga close
friend OF Chairman Hanna today ex-
planned under what circumstances Han
ma would accept place In the cabinet;
"Mr, Hanna" he said. will either
go into the cabinet or he win be the
next Republican United States senator
from Ohio. Hanna's course must be
decided by Senator John Sherman. Both
the chairman and Mr.. Mckinley un-
derstand that and they are expecting
to learn what position Sherman will
take. Mckinley wants Hanna TO accept
the treasury portfolio, but Hanna has
other aspirations. He believes it
would be greater honor to be senator
from Ohio. But Senator Sherman
stands In the way Of that. Mckinley
viii offer sherman the position of sec
retary Of state, and If he declines to so
into the cabinet. then Hanna will ac-
cept the position of secretary Of the
treasury. Should Sherman decide to
become one OF President McKiney's ad-
visers, thus vacating his seat in the
senate, Hanna will become his sue
cessor"
This same friend of Hanna said that
Il had practically been decided that
Congressman Boutelle, of Maine, would
be the secretary Of the navy.

GLADSTONE ON ARMENIA.
Severely Rebukes Europe's liberation
of the Sultan's Outrages

New York. November 2S.-A letter to
the National Armenian Relief commits
sion has been received from Gladstone,
and is as follows:
Il rejoice that the great and bountiful
people of yoV country are endeavoring
through a relief fund to mitigate as
far as they can some OF the conse-
quences of the great assassin. This is
something, not much, for Europe and
civilization still remain under the dis

THE MARKETS.
SCHOONER WRECKED.
Overturned Hull Reported by the Rock
hurst on the Columbia.

hurst On the COluInDld.
The British ship Rockhurst, which ar
rived Sunday from Valparaiso. reports
having sighted about thirty miles OF
the river the overturned hull Of a
schooner of about 100 tons. The first
mate says that he first saw the derellct
Saturday and that the Rockhurst pass
ed within a cable length of it. The ill
fated vessel was drifting to the north,
carried along by the strong currents.
What vessel 1t could be is a mystery
to local shipping men, The only
schooner overdue at this port is the
Surprise, from Tolstoi bay, Alaska, but
she registers only twenty-slx tons. The
reported derelict was, no doubt, capsiz-
ed during the recent gale. There is but
little doubt that the crew were drowned,
or, even If the seamen succeeded in get
ting into the boats, they would have
died of exposure. To all appearances
the hull was uninjured.
This is another mystery Of the sea
which, probably, will never be faith
omed,

Inventor Cannot Be Found, but An

San Francisco, November 2S.-The
story of the airship is not generally
credited. The inventor cannot be found
and those who were reputed to have
seen it are not willing to give definite
testimony Geo. D. Collins, the attor-

with the inventor as applicant for a
patent, admits he was retained for such
service, but ridicules the story of the
Sacramento flying machine. He says
the story is a fake, but declares his eli
ent is working on a machine which is a
combination of aeroplane and tailless
kite.

MARKET INJURED
BY OVER-SUPPLY
An English AuthOrity's Views on the
Rise and Fall in Wheat.
HOW TO BETTER THE MARKET
Suggested That Gigantic Combine Be
Formed and that Sales Amount On
ly TO the Demands.

London, November 23.-The Mark
Lane Express today. commenting on
the wheat outlook. says:
We expect that the decrease Of
French wheat acreage In 1897. owing to
the lateness Of the sowing season. viii
be much larger than any increase m
this country. The sowings OF Azima
wheat In Russia are admitted 10 be
smaller than usual The rise In prices
has stimulated Russian markets and
the line Of spring Ghirka sowings Is
likely 10 Offset the Azima deficiency. We
must await further news from India
before concluding that the drought is
over. Injury has been done in any
event. and there cannot be any wheat
available for export prior to April. 1885,
Australia is importing California wheat
and has no surplus available for ship
ment to Europe"
Commenting upon the past weeks
markets, the Mark Lane Express re-
marks:
The farmers are spelling the market
by oversupply. We suggest that CEN
tral chamber organize a society Of
wheat growers. pledged to sell only in
such quantities as the situation de-
mands"
Continuing. II says: THE advance
OF 2s Sd in the price Of wheat in Paris
since the end OF October. is a matter
Of some Importance. as France has
hitherto been boasting that she has a
well supplied market. II the purchases
Of foreign wheat by France increases,
the situation will become much strong
er."
CHICAGO MARKET BETTER.
Chicago. November 23.-There was a
decided weakness around the opening
Of the wheat market today, although It
did not last long. May, which closed
Saturday at 1875 cents. opened at from
7gis to T9t. most Of the trading being
around the lower figure. The weakness
was attributable to several causes. the
most influential one being. perhaps. the
last Black Sea shipments.
Opening cables also were disappoint-
ing, and further rains were reported in
drought-stricken India. The market
turned stronger at the last hour. Pri-
vate cables gave unfavorable reports OF
the Argentine outlook. Covering by
shorts again set in and May sold up TO
sou, the high point of the day. Selling
on the advance. however, was sufficient
to break the price again to SOl5 where

Too slow

Last August a meeting was held at
Knox by medical men To examine
claims for increase III pensions. Among
those who appeared before this com
mission was an ex-soldler of Plymouth,
who had served his country for four
years and three months. During this
service he received three serious
wounds, o. shot probing his right
lung, and he carries n of the bullets
today. This old soldier, as stated above,
app cared before the appointed com
mission and passed all examination
and since that time has waited patiently
TO receive information regarding the
report sent in by this committee. Be
coming weary with the tedious progress
of the matter lie wrote to the pension
department about it and received a
reply a few days ago stating that the
pension commission had not, up TO date,
returned their report.
This is but one of the numerous
cases Of neglect of public officials
that is brought to the public notice.
This mans case was examined six
months ago and yet no report has
peer made of it to the pension depart
ment at Washington.
