To Confer With Senator Allison.
 Cleveland, Jan. 5.--Major Mckinley will leave Wednesday morning for Can- ton to meet Senator Allison of Iowa. who will stop a. few hours in Canton on his way to Washington. The inter- view between the senator and the pres ident-elect will be the most important political event which has occurred at Major McKinley's home since the cleo ton.
 It is understood that Major McKin- ley would very much like to have Sem ator Allison in his cabinet, but it is not known that the actual tender of a portfolio has been made. Probably the meeting tomorrow will demonstrate whether such a tender is to be made at all Major Mckinley will return to Cleveland Wednesday night and remain here till early next week.
 There will be 8 number of prominent republicans here this week to see Ma jor Mckinley, and the number of peo- pie who went to see him to-day was so great that he has surrendered the mo- tion that he could expect a considera- ble period of rest here. General Will liam Osborne has invited Major Nc Kin1ey to visit him in Boston this win ter, but the present intention of the president-elect is to remain in Canton till March 1, when he goes back there with Mrs Mckinley next week. Among Major McKinleys visitors to- day was Senator Thurston of Nebras- ka, who discussed some of the western senatorial contests. Senator Thurston and General William Osborne, secre- tary of the republican national com mittee, left for Washington in the af- ternoon.
 The work of cabinet-making has be- gun in real earnest and will proceed at a pretty lively rate until about the 4th of March.
 Senor F. G. Pierra, a representative of the Cuban junta in New York, called on Major Mckinley and explained the | wishes and claims Of the insurgents and their friends.

WEST END R0AD coND EMNED.
Citizens Committee Reports That the Com pany Has Treated Its Employes Unfairly.

pany Has Treated Its Employes Unfairly.
 Boston, Jan. 5.-This afternoon the citizens committee appointed at Fan euil hall on December 2S by the mass meeting of the strikers of the West End company and their sympathizers gave to the public what will probably be the final report in connection with the late West End strike. The com mittee presents full3resume of it's eff forts in behalf of the strikers, at the same time admitting defeat in its ef- forts to gain concession from the West End company.
 The report gives in4detail the inVes- legations of the committee and regrets that it was not given a hearing by the board of directors of the West End company. The report states that what ever may be the grievances of the men they are greatly aggravated by the protracted failure for the last two years to obtain an agreement The refusal of the road to employ the old men has resulted in great misfortune to many who have large families and many are without any means of support.
 The report continues; ''The public have paramount right to a service by competent and contented men. A railway system of 2T5 miles through our dense population and crowded streets cannot do Justice to public rights and security unless it treats it's employees with such consideration as to meet their just demands or at least to satisfy the public that it is dealing l equitably The company has held out no hope to the unemployed men, either in the present or the future, neither have they made any pledge of protec- 1 tion to the public from the danger of another strike, not to refer to the still greater danger from accident or loss of life as indicated by twenty acci- 1 dent blanks which we are told were re- gently turned into division superin- tendent on single night. The attempt to secure peace by crushing out the union or by discharging its most ef- fective men and by practically refusing | to make an agreement surely cannot succeed''
 The report concludes as follows: "The committee think the efforts of the men to obtain justice are paralyzed by the dropping of the 407 men, among whom are the union leaders, and we fear that no other committee of the men will dare to approach the company in the attempt to obtain an agreement secur- ing their rights, lest they, too should be blacklisted and before long dis l charged The victory which the cor poration has gained over their em- ployes is decisive and may well dis courage the men from soon seeking te secure their just rights. Such a condi- tion of things in Boston is intolerable.
 "The committee believe that it is not impossible that some municipal au. 1 thority over the streets of the city may exist, which can intervene for the pub. lie welfare and the safety of travellers and require the contract between the street railway company and it's em. ployes to be so just and reasonable as to ensure contented service by compe- tent men. If no such municipal power exists, the committee recommend thai application should be made for it to the legislature of the commonwealth"

 In about an hour after the accident the wrecking train arrived on the scene and rapidly set to work to clear the ground.
