EX-OFFICE HOLDERS.

According to Washington advces
President Mckinley is a strong advocate
of rotation in Office even among the mem
bers OF the Republican party. 1t is au-
thoritatively stated that he wishes his
friends to understand that ofIice-holdcrs

tons need not think that their former
connection with the government in any
way recommends them for appointment
To their old places. When he went into
the White House on the 4tli of March

late incumbent.

1t is said that the President is over
whelmed with requests forssretention in
office from Democrats who left their own
party to ork for the cause of the gold
standard, and that he finds it quite en-
barrassing to displace such men. While
this may be true as far as the President
is concerned it must be very humiliating
to men who have been honored and ele-
waited by the Democratic party to lick che
hand that smote it, even if they were
conscientious in their advocacy of the sim
gle standard. Necessity, however, knows no
law, and pecuniary needs of many of this
class msy be the real motives of their
course. The question of bread and meat
has been an all important one in this
country for the past five or six years, and
with the wants of large and expensive
family pressing upon him man in these
days OF political complications and un-
rest is forced to do many things not en-
tirely to his liking.

at o'day's joint session showed only fifty
six members present, the anti Hunter

Democrats refusing to answer to their

was no quorum present, but said he
would literally construe the statute re-

ordered the roll call.

The fight over the Dingley tariff bill is
assuming interesting proportions in the
House, but under the rigid ruling of
Speaker Reed the opposition has so far
had no show. The bill will no doubt be
passed by substantial majority, as
everybody knew from the beginning. The
general line Of attack which the opposi.
ton have agreed upon was disclosed in
the House on Friday. 1t will consist of a
series of amendments attacking trusts
by proposing free articles on which the
price is sustained by these com binations,
beginning with one proposed by Mr..
Dockery. These amendments were all
ruled out of order; but when the bill gets
to the Senate an effort will be made then
TO adopt similar amendment, if sub
stitute tor the bill fails of adoption. Az

but two men at work.
The operators claim that the Panhandle
mines, operated by NJ. A. Hanna. where
the ironclad agreement is In force. worked
as usual today. The miners on the other
hand maintain that the entire Miller and

faro located, are out on strike. me

mines are nearly all running, while the
miner officials claim they are all idle.
Specials from Monongahela City say
that 5000 out OF the 5000 miners are on
strike.
