WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-ln its bearing
on the International relations of the
United States, Mekinley's election is
considered important as insuring
stability of policy hardly to
I've looked FOR in case men new
in questions of foreign affairs
had been swept into executive power
The public men who will naturally
be in the front rank Of the forth
coming administration are known
quantities. and there is general conf
dence that their attitude to the rest Of
the world will not essentially diverge
from the long g-established course of
those who have been most prominent
in McKiuleys support, and who
are, therefore, relied upon to be
his closest advisers The most marked
departure anticipated from President
Cleveland's external policy relates to
Hawaii Not the slightest doubt exists
that the next secretary OF state will
be in complete harmony with Pres
ident Harrison in this matter,
as Mr.. Mckinley was we'll known
to have been. The only reversal
OF policy looked for il that which must
result from the customs tariff revision
demanded by the imperative necessity
of increasing the revenue Immediately
after the 4th of March. The
reciprocity arrangements abrogated
without warning by the Wilsou-Gor-
man bill are regarded as sure Of
rcsuseitation at the earliest possible
moment, and it is not thought
now a change in sugar duties in ac-
cordance with Mr.. Mckinley's we'll
known views could be effected without
sweeping away the friction between
this country and Germany, Austria
and other beot-sugar exporting
countries growing out Of the
unequal bounty systems and discrim-
mating duties. In the Turkish and
Cuban affairs no change whatever is
likely to occur, The issues involved
in Turkey have becn practically nm
altered for 30 years, aud all preccdcnts
now being followed are those Of Me-
kinlcy's long line Of predecessors.
Should the Cuban complication con-
tinue until March, it is well understood
that the United States will preserve
strict neutrality as was done when
Grant was IN the Waite House.

THEY ALL SWING THEIR ARMS.
Singular Habit Alleged Against Women
of Chicago While Out Walking.

VI Nhi'abo W out WINNING
The women OF Chicago, old anil
young, matrons and schoolgirls, all have
a habit that is distinctly their own.
They swing their arms. 1t matters little
whether they come from the North or
West side, the fashionable suburb Of
Bucna Parl, or from Cicero, when they
promenade their right arms swing TO
and frs with the regularity of an eight
day clock. The well-gowned and we'll
groomcd maidcns who take their CON
stitutional either on the Lake Shore or
along Michigan boulevard are as much
addicted TO the disagrecable mannish-
ism us their sisters who take their
grooming on South Halsted street, or
who promenade after long hours spent
in factory out on Archer road.
Sometimes the maid or dame who
rushes from one shop to another in the
retail district of Chicago swings only
one arm backward and forward as she
hurrics on, bent upon securing Il Cood
bargain. But il her haste is exceeding.
ly great both are often in motion and
not always do they move in unison.
When the promenade is well filed with
women, even if their costumes are rich
and gay, the gloss is taken from tho
throng by this ungainly habit.
The bellies who walk on Fifth avenue,
New York, and in Hyde Park, London,
do not appear to affect this unpleasant
habit and, although some physicinn'
are Of the opinion, that the swinging Of
the arms GENES from too snug a fitting
corsagc, this caunot he true, for tht
fashionable DANES Of London are noted
the world over for the smallness OF
their waists. The only way that physi-
cal culturists can account for the man
nerism is that the women do not realize
that they have acquired motion II
