WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-President Elect
Mckinley will not send a Hawaiian an
nexation treaty TO tho senate. He is OPP
posed TO the annexation of any foreign
territory. This statement is made upon
the authority Of Mr.. Rosewater of Omaha,
who has just arrived in Washington from
Canton, whore he had an extended inter
view with Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Roscwater
says that the president elect spoke freely
about his foreign policy, declaring that it
would be essentially one of peace but Wig
orous when American life and property
are at stake. Mr.. Rosewater says that he
also discussed the financial question with
tho president elect and found that he was
opposed to the retirement of greenbacks
and in favor of an increased bank circula-
tion. A western man, he says, will surely
be secretary Of the treasury, ard although
Mr.. Mckinley had not fully determined
upon the appointment Of Lyman J. Gage

board cf mediatl n and ori i,rmion states
that during the year ending Oct 3i, 1896.
there was noticeable decrease in the
number of strikes and lockouts in this
state. This was mainly due TO the contin-
uance Of the business depression and con-
sequent increase in tho percentage of un-
employed, but it was also to some extent
attributable TO conservative action on the

CANTON, O., Jan. 2s-For first assist
ant secretary of state, John Hay
That seems TO be the latest step made
toward ccmTlcting the official household
Of President Elect Mckinley Colonel Hay
came from Washington and had long
conference both with Major Mckinley and
National Chairman Hanna 1t has been
known fer some time that the appoint
ment Of Senator Sherman would entail n
very careful selection by the incoming sec
rotary, and both Chairman Hanna and the
president elect havo had their attention
turned toward Colonel Hay for this impor-
tant position.
1t has boon understood that Colonel Hay
was in line for an important diplomatic
position, his friends generally fixing the
court of ST. James as his post of duty
Had Senator Allison accepted the tender
OF secretary Of state this programme
would probably have been carried out. No
sooner bad Mr. sherman s acceptance been
secured, however, than the friends Of the
administration began looking around for
younger man who could take up the de-
tails of the work, and the manifold fitness
OF Colonel Hay for tho place at once sug-
gested itself.
Wanted a Foreign Appointment.
Colonel Hays natural inclination was
toward foreign appointment. His social
relations make him exceptionally well
qualified for that service, and his former
services as secretary of the legation at
Madrid under General Sickles and his long
acquaintance with diplomatic affairs in
Washington render him an altogether
eligible candidate for an embassadorship
The necessity for an active assistant score
tary under n Sherman was so manifest,
however, that Colonel Hay was at once
sought for that position. He was the more
readily requested to make tho sacrifice on
account Of his Cleveland relationships.
The late Mr. Stone Colonel Hays father
in-law, was lifelong friend of Chairman
Hanna. His brother-in-law, Mr. Samuel
Mather, is another close business friend OF
the chairman. and this, with Major Nc.
Kinley's own acquaintanceship with him,
made the change comparatively easy.
Colonel Hay has been in Canton but
once since Major Mckinley was nomi
mated. He came down with Chairman
Hanna and few friends on election day
and it was noticed then that Major Nc
Kinley was particularly interested in the
welfare of the former secretary TO presi
dent Lincoln
Colonel Hay lunched with Major Nc
kinley and Mark Hanna, returning e
Washington later. While no definite state
ment was given out at Major Mckinley.
it is understood that Colonel Hay viii fig
urc in the affairs of the state department
during Secretary Sherman s regime.
