England Would BE Only Too Glad Of .
Close General Alliance.
LONDON, Jan. 14.-Referring to the
reply which the correspondent of The
Chronicle says Secretary Olney made to
a question of the Russian minister,
M. E. De Kotzebue, when the former
was asked by the !;t,ter whether the
treaty was offensive and defensive, Mr..
,Olney being quoted as saying that the
question might te answered yes or no,
The St. James Gazette says: ..
1T is somewhat hastily assumed that
this means that the United States will
exchange her traditional friendship for
Russia for close general alliance with
England. We could wish for nothing
better, and would be prepared to recog-
lize almost anything in reason if it
could get the two great nations of
.Ang. O. Saxon stock into line against the
world -

Positively Announced That tho
Ohioan Will Be Secre-
tary Of State.
Has Served Ten Terms in Con-
gress and Four Years In
the Cabinet.
Hanna's Ambition to Be q Sem
ator Very Likely to Be
Gratified.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The Asso.
ciated Press is able to positively an.
nounce that Mr.. Mckinley has ten.
dered the state portfolio to Senator
John Sherman of Ohio and that the
distinguished Buckeye statesman has
accepted and will be the premier of the
incoming administration.
Speculation as to who would be the
Ohio member in the cabinet of the
president-elect has persistently lowered
about the names of Senator Sherman
aud Hon. Mark Hanna, the chairman
Of the national committee, the former
being mentioned in connection with
the state and treasury portfolios and
the latter in connection with the head
Of the treasury and postoffice depart
,nents. It has been known for some
time, however, that Mr.. Hanna's ambi-
ton was q seat in the United States
senate. The retirement Of
Ohio's Veteran Senator
to accept the position of premier in Mr..
McKinley's cabinet will probably open
the way to qualification of this ambi-
tion.a Mr.. ,Sherman's term as senator
would expire two years hence, March
4, $780, Senator Sherman declines to
make any statement regarding the
above, but this in nowise initiates
against its authenticity.
AS secretary of state Mr.. Sherman
will round out a brilliant public career
which begun AZ years ago in the house
Of representatives aed bring to that ex-
allied post ripe experience which COW
cred four terms in the lower branch of
congress and six terms in the upper
house, besides four years at the head Of
the treasury department under Mr..
Hayes administration.
