II H.. been known for some time, how
ever, that Mr.. Hanna's ambition was a
seat IN tne United States senate. The re-
tiremt nj Of Ohios veteran senator to ac-
cept tie position of premier in Mr.. Nc
Kinleys cabinet will probably open the
way to a qualification Of this ambition.
Mr.. Sherman's term as senator would
expire two years hence, March 4, 1899
The vacancy created by Mr.. Sherman's
retirement will be filled by appointment
by Governor Bushnell, pending the as
sembling Of the Ohio legislature In jan
uary, 1898. 1t is understood that the old
war in Ohio between the Sherman and
Foraker factions has ceased, and that
complete harmony has been restored
among the leaders. This carries with ii
the strong implication that Governor
Bushnell will appoint Mr.. Hanna to the
vacancy in the senate when Mr.. Sher-
man steps out to assume the grave re-
sponsibilities connected with the head of
the department Of state.
Senator Sherman declines to make any
statement relative to the important an
nouncement which is made. but this in
no wise initiates against it's authentic
ity. The definite announcement that
Mr.. Mckinley has selected the keystone
VI the oTCu upon WnlCn MS aumlnlStEa-
tton will rest, recalls the fact that II was
DIR. Cleveland's selection Of Judge Wal
ter @. Gresham as secretary Of the pres
ent administration which was first given
to the public.
A secretary Of state. Mr. Sherman will
round out brilliant public career, which
began - years ago In the house Of rep
resentatives. and bring to that exalted
post . ripe experience which covers four
terms In the lower branch Of congress
and six terms in the upper house. beside
four years at the head OF the treasury
department under Mr.. Hayes admins
tration.
II 10 significant in connection with the
knowledge that Mr.. Sherman will be Sec
rotary Of state. that Generul Russell A.
Alger Of Michigan, while here a few
days ago, had a conference with the Ohio
senator, at which, 1t Is understood, all
their past differences were adjusted and
reconciled. This strengthens the belief
that General Alger Is also to be a men,
Der Of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet, the post
he is to fill being that Of secretary of
war. Reports, however, also persistently
associate the name Of Senator Hawley
Of Connecticut with this portfolio.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.
Senator's Decline to Discuss Probable Action
Thereon.

Washington, Jan. 14.-There was more
the arbitration treaty recently nego-
tiated by Secretary Olney and Sir Julian
Pauncefote, and some speculation as to
it's ratification.
A member Of the committee on foreign
relations stated that the subject was SO
vast that ii was necessary to give the
matter very close consideration before
any action should be taken, ami that in
the examination Of Ii there were possi-
bilities not known which might cause q
man to change his mind many times. He
said that until he could give the matter
such attention as the subject demanded,
he could not be quoted on the matter. He
said that one phase might be instanced.
At present there might not be anything
in view to arbitrate, yet after general
arbitration had been agreed upon. any
number of cases might be presented by
one Of the parties, and numerous claims
which were previously unheard Of might
De brought forward. The unknown guam
titles might be a serious objection to
making any definite agreement.
Senator White of California says that
he will support the treaty, IL at all, be-
Ctubt IL Is IOT ~ SnOTt DcTlOu, dHu lS Se-
ly experimental. 1t might be that the
experiment would prove successful, but
nc feared that in every contention that
would arise some new principle might
arise which il might not be good policy
to submit to the tribunal proposed in the
treaty. He said some question relating
to the Monroe doctrine might arise, and
tnat question the United States would
not care to submit to arbitration. An
other case instanced by a senator who
has given the subject some thought was
Cuba. Under certain conditions the
United States might desire to take action
regarding the situation. and assert the
Monroe doctrine. The European powers
Great Britain included, might dispute
the right of the United States, under the
Monroe or any other doctrine, to inter
fere. and the matter, SO far as Grea,
Britain Is concerned, must 60 TO arbitra-
ton. Reference was also made to tho
| Monroe doctrine resolutions now pend
| ing In the senate, In which the declara
| ton was made that the United States re
served the right to decide when the doc
irine applied.
The discussion yesterday indicated
| that the treaty would require long con
pideration, and the opinion was ex
, pressed that II might be ratified through

Secretary Olney was turned down bv

day In his effort to have the vote on the
extradition treaties between this country
and the Orange Free State and the Ar
Fentine Republic reconsIdered for the
purpose OF Withdrawing the senate's

point. At the conclusion OF two hours
session the senate resolved to stand by

TAX RATE INCREASED.

The most important business trans.
acted at the meeting Of the City Coun-
oil last night was the passage OF an or
dinance fixing the ratio of taxation ct
>l.65 per each 800 OF taxable property
In the city. This, in the opinion OF the
members Of the City Council, Was the
only way in which to dispose OF the
question OF bringing the current ex.
penses Of the city within or near the
income Of the city. In view Of existing
conditions IL was quite necessary 20 do
something TO sustain the credit of the
city, and considering the question
from every standpoint there seemed to
be no alternative but to increase the
rate Of taxation. Mayor Davis frankly
outlined the situation in his inaugural
message, when he said that the rate
vas not high enough to meet the wants
OF growing and progressive city like
Pawtucket. While some contend that
. re-valuation 10 the needed remedy,
there 10 no denying the fact that tho
valuation on certain real estate Of the
city is ss high AS it is possible to be. In
fact there are instances where the per.
sons taxed are ready and willing to dis.
pose OF their property at tho value for
which il is assessed.
The question of securing an equality
In valuation is q most vexed one and
will never be met properly until proper
laws are enacted by the General Assem-.
bly,. II is known to be true that great
inequalities exist, but they are not OF
sueh . nature that their correction
would be certain to relieve the difficulty
that exists at the present time.
BY increasing the tax rate IS cents on
each $100 worth OF real estate, the in.
come Of the city on valuation ss il
stands at present will be increased
about 100000.
All improvements and municipal
Injuries cost money, and there can be
little or no advancement withiut lib
eral expenditures in many directions.
Nor do we think that Pawtucket is
spending too much to meet the de-
mands OF the city. We should strive
10 be q model city, and the only way
in which 10 do this is to supply the
wants OF the different departments
However, no penny.wise aud pound.
foolish policy will suffice.
There is no question but what the
Indebtedness of the city is becoming
altogether too great, and now is the
time TO begin to pay q larger proper.
zion OF our current expenses as we &c
along. 1t seems that the City Council
has taken the proper step to meet tn,
existing condition question squarely IL
the face, be honest with ourselves an,
demonstrate TO the financial world tha
Pawtucket intends TO meet its obliga
tions and sustain the integrity that tn,
city hes always enjoyed.
