M'KINLEY.s POLICY.
hark Hanna Oa,llnss What He Relieves
1t VIII lie.

New YORK, Nov. 9 The World says: |
Mark llama has given the World the
following outline of what he under
stands to be President-eleet MeKinley's
general policy;
Il have had but comparatively brief eonver-
sations with Maj. Mckinley since his election.
Next week expect to meet him at Cleveland.
and as he has had time to think over
matters, l presume he will have more
details than / am at present aware OF.
But this much know, he feels that he
owes much to the patriotic democrats who
prefer principle TO strict party ties. Indiana.
for instance, was unqueStionably carried
against fusion by democratic votes. He rec
ognizes the very great services performed by
democratic and independent newspapers dur
| ing the campaign.
Mai Mckinley win endeay0r TO see col
leeted great national party that will give
prosperity to the country He expects and
hopes that man OF all shades OF former
political belief will be unltel to this end l
/ have talked with some Of the most influential
OF the old democratic leaders and I am glad
to say they are In accord with Maj Mekinley's
hopes.
THE first movement he will make will be 10
| obtain sufficient revenue to conduct the gov
ernment, Further issues Of bonds would be
altogether too dangerous. Business prosperi-
~ and stability demand that as soon as possl-
BILE the government should be on a paying
basis. To this end an extra session OF con-
gress will be necessary aud President MciSln-
ley will undoubtedly call one soon after his in.
auguratlon
Legislation will be required to secure the
desired revenue, and Mr. Mckinley will d
everything In his power to secure II, as well a
the legal establishment OF policy which viii
tend to put everybody at work. In all this h'
hopes and expects that he will be backed b.
patriotic men, regardless OF party lines
"As for myself, | am not after any ONCE
and will endeavor to attend 10 private busl
ness affairs which need my personal super
vision"
Asked what democrats OF note h
had talked with on the subject OF tn
, future, Mr.. Hanna said
II do not wish to name them all. bu
, may mention Messrs W. C Whitne
and Abraham :. Hewitt as examples.

Tuesday night and entirely consumed

WAS first discovered in the building OF

and was already beyond control. The
fire spread TO the millinery store OF Mrs.
Hundke and to the furniture store OF X.

only after the most heroic efforts of
nearly every citizen. The loss is quite
heavy, about 5000, unless insured. Ii
was onIy by the greatest effort that the
Obstruction was stopped as the adjoining
building was only eight feet away ana
