WASH NGToH, Sept. 27.-Mr. Mckinley and
Boss Plat have made Il deal which Will kill
| Seth Lows candidacy for Mayor of Greater
| New York and make EX-Sccretary Tracy the
| Republican candidate backed by all the i'll
| iiuencc Of the administration, and send rlatt
| and his henchmen TO the next Republican
National Convention as Mckinley shouters.
Boss Platt did not relish the latter part of the
| programme, but 1t was case OF must" with
| him. and Mr.. Mckinley knew it as well he
| did, and knowing it, would not accept nothing
| short OF an iron-clad pledge OF support in
change for the administration influence i'll
| favor Of Tracy and against Low. The deal was
| kept very quiet, but it leaked out even before
MIR. Tracy, who had previously declared that
he would not be the candidate, announced his
willingness to accept the Republican nominal
tOn. According 10 Democratic advIccs, it will
make no difference who the Republican nOui-
nee is; ii Democrat will be elected. Its under
stood that Vice Pr esldent Hobart is also in the
deal, and that the next Republican ticket is to
be. if the parties to the deal have their way,
he same rs the last, Mckinley and Hobart. II
is also said that Piatt got Mr.. Mckinley's
promise to make him secretary of the Treasury,
the position he has vainly sought for so many
years, II he is re-eeCt. Il.
Getting rich quick is all right, provided the

Although no official admission has been made
il is known that the administration il much
disturbed by its latest advices from Haw.ii
The ratification of the annexation treaty by
the Hawaiian Senate has caused much excite
ment among the japanese residents of IL waii,
and the administration fears that state Of
insurrection may be preciptated at almost
any moment the result of which may he the
overthrow of the present government. InfOr-
nation in the state department leaves lit, le
doubt that many Japanese soldiers are the
island having gone there in the guiSe Of labor
ers. 1t is also very clear that thus soldiers are
armed and that they have talked among them
selves of VIII they intended 10 do after over
throwing the government and taking p1ssrs-
sion Of the islands. New ana urgent orders
have been sent to the L. s. Minister to Hawaii
ard to Admiral Miller, in command Of the
United States vessels there. The feeling of I'M
easincss on the part of the administration is
not ubot the final result of Il scrap with Japan,
but about what might happen to Americans
and American interests on the island should
the japanese make an attempt to overthrow
the Dole government.
The disposition to poke fun ut Ex-senator
Edmuuds and his ten associates, who have met
in Washington and organized themselves into
so called monetary commission, has been
more pronounced than ever since Mr. Edmunds
issued an explanation of why they are in SEES
sion. He admits that they have no authority
and that they cannot even approach Congress |
with suggestion as to legislation, except !
through the right of petition, possessed by
every citizen. In the face of that admission |
the star chamber meetings of these agents of |
the indianapolis Gold Bankers Convention of |
last winter, appears to be farcical in the cx
treme, and the result of their deiberation is !
likely to be just about as influential with Con-
grcss as would he II resolution adopted by the |
Thomas Street Poker Club.
