A SHORT TALK WITH M'KINLEY.

Business Discussion.

CANTON. Feb. 6.-There were manv
visitors at the Mckinley residence this
evening, and the president-elec was
busy from the time of his return to
Canton from Lakeville, where he met
Mrs. Mckinley on her way home from
Chicago. Among those waiting to talk
with the president-elect was CONGRESS-
man Francis II. Wilson, of Brooklyn.
N. Y. Congressman Wilson is a mem
Der Of the house committee on naval
affairs, and this has given rise to the
rumOr that he is a possibility for Sec
retary Of the navy. He had but a
short talk with the president-elect but
will conclude his conference Sunday.
He will attend church with Mr.. Nc
Kinley Sunday morning. When seen
after his talk with Mr.. Mckinley, Mr..
Wilson said that nothing could be given
out for publication. He said his visit
was not in his own interest and that
he had not talked of cabinet matters.
The name of Col. McCook, of New
York, is now considered most probable
for attorney general.
The neon Valley train brought "the
poet of the Sierra Nevada" JOAQUIN
Miller, of California. He was accompa-
MED by Hon. Harry Wagner, Of San
Francisco, and L. e. Holden, of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. When asked as
to their mission, Mr.. Wagner said that
Mr. Miller, who is to lecture in Cleve-
land Monday night, was here to obtain
a sketch of the home life of the Presi-
dent-elect and Mrs Mckinley for the
inaugural number of a newspaper. and
that there is nothing. political in their
visit as far as he and Mr.. Miller are
concerned. During the afternoon ex-
Congressman Bayard IT. Hainer, of
Guthrie, Okla, and Herbert Wolcott,
of Cleveland brother Of Senator VOL
cott, called at the Mckinley residence.
Mr.. Hainer said that they did not ex-
pect to talk politics, but as he was in
Canton for a short time he wanted to
call and pay his respects to Maj Nc
Kinley. Mr.. Hainer said in reference to
the monetary conference that he hoped
the mission would be successful, and
that the foreign nations would join in
an international agreement.
7 EX-Congressman W.vP. BroWnloW Of
JonesbOro, Tenn, paid his respects to
the presdent-elect today. He said his
mission was to speak for an appoint
ment from Tennessee. for register OF
the treasury This Office is now held
by a Mr. Tillman, from Tennessee, and
he believes the future official should be
from his state. He said he was not
here in the interest of any one for

highly of H.eClay Evans, who has been
spoken of as the possible postmaster

Along Nicollet avenue, the river front and
the milling district there is a general ie-
sponse. In the other sections, where there are
dwelling houses and small buildings there
is comparatively little need for many COM
panies going out. Box 20, Sixth avenue south
and First street, is bad box from the stand
point of the hremen. The first call from there
takes Engine Companies /, g. 5, g. 4; Trucks

the fourth assistant engineer. The third
alarm calls 16, II. s. .. 10, II engine COM
panies Trucks 5, 6, Chemical 3, and the third
assistant engineer.
1t viii be seen that as the alarms are
turned in the response grows larger each
time. Many Of the less important boxes are
responded to by fewer companies at the
third and fourth alarm than when the first
ring of the box. AS the engine companies IN
the downtown districts move from their
houses to the scene of the blaze their quar-
ters taken by companies of the outer
districts in the event of another blaze. and
the fourth assistant engineer usually re-
mains at fire department headquarters in the
event of a third alarm, to distribute the re-
naming apparatus in case OF another blaze.

GREAT FALLS FAILURE,
Considerable Interest Taken In the
Matter at Boston.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 6.-Considerable in
terest has been manifested in financial circles
here over the failure Of the Northwestern Ma
tonal bank of Great Falls, Mont report
that the Boston G Montana Mining company
was involved in the failure was denied by
President A. s. Bigelow, Of the company, to-
day. He said: 1.-THE company has no large
permanent per deposit in any bank out there
When asked If some Of the company were
not also officials Of the bank. Mr.. Bigelow
replied that such was not the case at present
The whole trouble arose in this way" he
continued. ''The cashier mentioned in the
story has been seeking to get control of the
bank. The unwisdom Of having 80 young
man at the head Of affairs there had been
suggested however. The cashier. it was
said, had been working on the supposed
strength of certai1 capital which he held in
the correspondent bank here in Boston. IL
appears that this statement was not verified
by the Boston bank on inquiry The de-
posit was, however, within $4,000 Of the
amount. When the directors Of the North
western, who are residents Of New England.
learned this money had been withdrawn. an
investigation was begun which resulted in the
closing of the bank. The intimation from
Great Falls that there has been a defalcation
by Cashier Hatcher cannot be confirmed in
