Canton, o., February At is report
ed here by many Of Mr.. Hanna's Cleve-
land friends who have visited Canton
within the last "a hours, that he may
decide to accept the position of post

accepted opinion is that MIR. Hanna
thinks he will not be appointed to he
Senate by Gov. Bushnell, though the
rumor that Governor Bushnell has de-
cided to appoint Lieutenant Governor
Jones to- the seat which will be vacated
by Senator Sherman, March 4, is not
thought wholly reliable. Whether or not,
Mr.. Hanna will be a candidate for cleo
tion for the reg ular full term before the
legislature to be elected Iext fall.
Many of Mr.. Hanna's friends want him
to go into the cabinet, and Mckinley
has desiredsit ever since election. Tho be :
lief that he will be appointed postmaster
general, is growing hourly. Chairman
Goudy of the Indiana Republican COM
mittee, spent the day in Canton. Mr..
Cloudy confessed that he would like to
be appointed consul-general to Paris,

Thought Goes in Waves.

The latest discovery, or rather the latest
theory In science, is that of brain waves
So. at least, 1t is described in, the Presi-
Dental address d delivered to the British
Society Of Psyohical Research by Prof.
william Crookes. Before launching his
theory, he entered upon all elaborate cal
culation as to the vibrations which pro-
duce sound and light. Then be applied
a similar law to the subject of thought
transference, and suggested that it ia
conceivable that intense thought con-
contracted by one person upon another
with whom he is In close sympathy
should induce a telepathic chain along
which brain waves should go straight to
their goal without loss of energy due to
distance. Such speculation, was, he ad-
mitted, new and strange to science. 1t
was at present strictly provisional, but
he was bold enough to make it and de-
clare the time might come when it could
be su bmitted to experimental tests.
The professor spoke of the work
which is being done by the society as
likely to form no unworthy preface
to n prafouder science of man, of nature
ard # worlds not realized than we yet
had. alid he said he could see no reason
why any man of scientific mind should
either shut his eyes or stand deliberately
aIrof from 1t. He endeavored in a long
argsment to clear away tie scientific
sti,ser stititions which prevent many from
yenturipg into research which might
In time dominate the whole world of
thought.

DOM said Mr.. Lamson In closing.
MIR. Merrill of Ward favored the re-
solve He was not in favor of the first
new draft of the commission. IL was
too radical. This one is better. He
wanted to get it before the legislature
at once and believed the proposed way
the best.
Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.. Flaherty both
favored the resolve. Mr.. Mcdonald said
he believed they were in the Council to
do the business of the city, not to shirk,
and Mr.. Flaherty agreed with him, max
ing solid declaration from Ward in
favor of the new charter.
Other members spoke briefly and Presi-
dent Dow leaving the chair, addressed
the board and made very strong plea
for the amendments and resolve. He
wanted the present unhappy condition
of affairs where four aldermen can, if
they wish grant valuable franchises and
thwart the whole City Council. done
away with. He thought this step toward
progress and reform.
When the question was put on the re-
solve of Mr. Virgin, the vote surprised
every body by the size of the majority for
the passage of tie message. 1t was II to

Sea and shore Fisheries Laws.
fHpECIAL TO THE PREss.Y

Augusta, February 4.-The commits
sioners appointed to investigate, revise
and simplify the laws relating to sea and
shore fisheries, have made report to
the legislature. They say that sys-
tenn of laws has grown up apparently
based upon the idea that the shore fish
cries were not one great industry to
the whole state and therefore to be con-
trolled by general lava. The theory
seems 60 have prevailed that each town
had special rights in the fisheries along
its.shores. They recommend the enact
ment of general law in regard to shore
fisheries at the same time empoW ering
the commissioners to make such tenn.
porary changes as may seem for the
states interest.

CITY CHARTER AMENDMENTS.

Alderman Kehoe said that he was
prepared as chairman Of the committee
on amendments to the city charter touffer
his. report. 1t will be remembered that
at the meeting on Monday night when
the report of the special committee on
amendmets to the city charter first came
up it was found TO be imperfect and
was sent back to the committee to be
revised. This was victory for the op-
ponents of the amendments to the char.
ter but last night they met with defeat.
Mayor Baxter in accordance with a
motion, proceeded to read the second
proposed amendment to the city charter
which was grated into its proper place
in the original charter. This amend
ment was in relation to the election of
the mayor, 81 members to the board of
aldermen and various other city officials.
Tt was one of the proposed changes in the
present charter which has met with
much opposition.
.The mayor read this second amendment

If some of the Council had seen fit to
absent themselves. They knew of the
meeting and of the nature Of it's business.
1t did not follow that the legislature
would pass the bill, or if they passed it
they could alter it in any particular.
What he desired was to get the matter
before the legislature at once as if any
thing was done it must be done before
February 18th. If any members were
opposed to the new draft they would have
ample opportunity to express their
views before the comm ttee at Augusta
who would consider the matter before a
bill was presented to the body itself.
The new draft was in the line of inn
proyement and for that reason he was
heartily in favor of it.
Councilman Stone Of Ward could not
see the need of what he termed stundue
haste'' in the matter. He thought such
important questions should be given
much longer study. Some of the amend
ments he was heartily in favor of. Some
he YVES unaiterably opposed to. Still he
would ratner III would go as whole
despite his objections rather than play
the role of obstruotionist to all real pro-
