SOME CHANGES LIKELY.
Objections to McKenna-The South
Probably Will be Recognized.

Canton, o., Feb. 15.-There are indica-
tons that there may be several changes
in the ca binet slate in the next few days
The president-elect undoubtedly has de-
terrnined to recognize the claims of the
southern Republicans, the only question
being the manGDr in which this will be
done.
b A thread of objection has been quietly
strung across the path of Judge McKenna
his Catholicism The objection does not
stand as against his entering the cabinet,
the secretary of the interior has in the
matter of Indian schools 1t has never
been strong enough>in itself to change
Major McKinley's determination to ap-
point the California judge to the cabinet,
but it might have weight should Mr..
Hanna decide to enter the cabinet, and
should Mr.. Gary's appointment be con-
sidered desirable
GARY INSTEAD or HANNA.
Washington, D. C. Feb. 15.-It is now
generally believed here. not only among
the southern Republicans, but by others
who in close touch with the incoming
administration, that James A Gary, of
Maryland, will be postmaster general IN
der Mckinley. The opposition which man.
ifested itself at first in Garys own state
has all been removed and within day or
two at the utmost he will be further in
dorsed by a number of influential men
throughout the south as the most repre-
sentative man for the southern member OF
the cabinet
A man who has just returned from Can
ton and who has several times been called
into conference by the president-eIect and
Mr.. Hanna, said that Mr.. Gary would
without doubt, be the southern represen-

Boston, Feb. ia check for a mill

This is the largest check that has ever

although this was admitted by the
manager.
member of the clearing house COM
mittee today stated that the checks are
not seen directly at the clearing house,
each bank simply sending in it's total
against the other banks. For this rea-

not attract much attention, as only the

No. of Pensions.

Here we have over 200, 900 without in
Guiding the San Francisco district, and
all of that vast number located west of
st. Louis and the Mississippi river.
Why should this vast army of over
100000 have to send from 500 to 1000
miles for their pension money when To-
peka is about the center of that vast
district? In other words why must the
western people be compelled to send
beyond the center of the government
for the pay that is due them for saving
the nation when said money is deliver
ed to those east of the Mississippi to
within a few miles of their homes?
Could a greater injustice be perpetra-
ted upon the old soldiers west of the
Mississippi river? Respectfully.

GREAT DISTRESS IN SPAIN.
People Fnmishing on Account of
Crop Failures.

Madrid. March 6,-(Copyrghted 1885,.
by the Associated Press) A very
troubled condition of affairs prevails in
Spain. The most acute distress Is being
experienced, the Carlsts are showing I'M
mlstakable signs of activity; there Is fur
Their alarming news from the Philippine Is
lands.
The distress is most severe in the Bis
cayan provinces. The people of Leon are
on the verge of starvation. the crops hav-
ing Deen practically destroyed by the recent
floods which followed the previous severe
drouth, while on all sides ilocks and herds
are dying OF famine and disease.
Very many families have not seen
loaf OF bread for months. and meat has
been far out OF their reach since fail. The
distress IL not confined to isolated districts.
All the towns and villages are afflicted

are famlghing. many OF them being reduced

stance, where II might be expected that the
distress due to crop failur. would hardly
DO felt. over $500 persons are being daily
fed from charitable sources. Under tn
circumstances II is not astonishing thai
hundreds Of families are immigrating, aut
that thousands OF families would do so had
| they the means to leave the country.
Coupled with this great distress are ru-
mors of the increasing strength OF the Carl
