CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 17.-In view
Of Mr.. Hanna's visit to Canton yester-
day, a great deal of comment has
been indulged in as to the possibility
of his entering McKinley's cabinet, in
spite of the senatorial plans made for
the national chairman. A representa-
tive Of the Associated Press called his
attention to the fact today and asked
if there was any foundation for the
talk:
Immediately after the election" said
Mr.. Hanna emphatically, and in some
annoyance "I said 1 would not be
member Of the cabinet. 1 know of
no reason why I should change that
mind on the subject"
Questioned regarding his confer
ence with Mr.. Mckinley the day be-
fore, he said it was of a nature which
he could not publicly discuss. He ex-
pressed the belief that Mr.. Mckinley
will not visit Cleveland before the in
auguration.
Cincinnati, o., Feb, 17.-Considerable
stir in political circles was caused here
COdoS Wy lHC puUi1C or
George B. Cox in favor of the appoint
ment Of Chairman Hanna as Sherman's
successor in the senate. There has
been much published about factfonal
differences between the old partisans
Of Mckinley and Sherman on the one
hand and those of Bushnell and For
aker on the other hand The latter
were said to oppose the appointment
OF Hanna AS Mr.. Cox is generally
considered as one Of the most promi-
nent leaders Of the Observation-Disclosures
element, the positive statement of Mr..
Cox is regarded as rejecting an agree
ment among Republican leaders in
OHIO on Chairman Hanna for the SEN
ate. Mr.. Cox said he regretted that
Senator Sherman had not made his
resignation take effect at once, instead
of March 8, so that the appointment
could have been made at once and no
opportunity been given for the publica-
tions about alleged factional fights in
McKinley's state.
Mr.. Cox insists that he has not de-
serted either Gov. Bushnell or Senator
Foraker, but he is as good a friend
to them as ever, although he is now
emphatically for Hanna and harmony.
He says that Ohio has not had two
Republicans in the senate at the same
time for twenty-five years, but that the
party will soon have the presi-
dent, premier and two senators.

turn to Canton later in the week
Col. w. w. Dudley, of Washington,

says, remarks Col. Dudley, "he is as
much a private citizen on March
as he Is today, and desires to main

which he has been elected" The in
augural and reception committee will
therefore receive the president-elect

MhRkE.TFOR BhNK PAPER
B1I Drawn Filmed TO Make an important Change In
the Insolvency Laws.

A change in the insolvency laws of
Minnesota is aimed at in a bill soon to
be introduced. The bill is in the hands
of prominent senator, not from ST.
Paul, however, who will probably
1t is an act to amend the varions chap
ters Of the assignment and insolvency
laws of this state.
In substance it provides for or per-
mits the creditors and the debtors of
the insolvent banks to offset the debts
of the debtor due the bank against the
Indebtedness Of the bank to the depos-
itor. The purpose of the proposed law
is to create a market for the large
number Of certificates Of deposit held
by the poorer class of the depositors
The working Of the law is best ex-
planned by the following illustration:
A owes an insolvent bank now in the
hands of an assignee or receiver, say
81, 800 B has a certificate of deposit
showing that the bank owes him ST.
500. In the course Of the events the
receiver or assignee in the process of
collecting and marshalling the banks,
assets will begin suit against A on
his note to the bank for 2,500 Per-
haps A has a small business plant that
judgment for $4,000 would completely
cripple. So before suit is begun
against him, A goes to B and offers
him say fifty cents on the dollar for
his certificate of deposit for $500. B
is satisfied that that is more than he
would get if he waits for the receiver
to wind up the affairs. So he accepts
AS offer of 1890 for the certificate of
deposit When the receiver of the
bank demands the payment Of AS note
for 81, 500, A produces the certificate Of
deposit assigned to him by B, and thus
offsets the claim and so protects HIM
self and his business.
The passage of an act allowing the
debtors and creditors of an insClvent
bank to enter into ain arrangement Of
this character is necessary, tnaSmuch
as the supreme court OF this state has
in two years rendered decisions hold
Ing that such an offset cannot be al
lowed. Both decisions have been hand
ed down within the past two years
One of the cases was that Of the
Northern Trust company as assignee
of a certain bank, against Charles Z.
Rogers and others. The case was
originally heard before Judge Russell,
of the Hennepin county district court.
The facts as shown were these: The
bank closed it's doors June Is. 1893.
The defendant Rogers then owed the
bank $102. Two days before the bank
closed, a depositor who had $500 in
the said bank gave Rogers his check
for $105, money due Rogers from said
depositOr. Rogers pleaded the check
for $105 as an offset to his own note
of $102. held by the bank. The bank 5
assignee demurred to the answer,
maintaining that Rogers counterclaim
was legally insufficient. Judge Russell.
looking at the equitable side of the
transaction. overruled the assignee s
demurrer, but the supreme court re-
versed Judge Russell and sustained
the demurrer. Consequently Rogers
not only had to lose the $105 paid to
him. but still remained indebted to the
bank in the sum Of $102

urged for passage by a number of the

or the case for the plaintiff in a most
dramatic manner, characterizing those
responsible for the alleged libel as
'damnable, in famous and miserable
Wretches."
Mr.. Pierce offered a paragraph said
to have appeared in the issue of Aug.
28 which he wished to introduce for
the purpose Of showing aggravation
and malice. and the attorneys argued
at great length as to the prCpriety Of
It's introduction. Mr.. Mum contended
that the subsequent publication could
not be shown to prove malice, as Mr..
Lind was a candidate for public Of
flee and nearly every issue of the pa
per contained his name. Mr. Mum de-
clared that he should contend through
out this trial that calling a man an
atheist was not libelous, and if there
was any libel it lay in calling Mr.. Lind
a hypocrite. But that was an accu-
sation drawn from conclusions and
facts. To call him an atheist was no
more than to call him a Methodist, a
Presbyterian or a Catholic.
The court overruled Mr. Munn's OBJ
lection, stating that it was not neces-
sary for him at this time to rule as to
whether calling a man an atheist con-
stituted libel or not.
Mr.. Pierce read the paragraph dated
Aug. %, which purported to be a spe-
cial telegram, and stated that no per-
son in New Ulm pretended to deny
that Mr.. Lind had been an avowed
agnostic for many years, and quoted
an article said to have been previously
printed in the New Ulm News. Mr..
Pierce also read an editorial from the
defendant newspaper stating that great
care had been taken to ascertain Mr..
Lind's views on religion.

REPUBLICANS OPPOSED
To Reporting the WOIcOtt Confer
ence Bill to- the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE inter-
national monetary conference bill
which was passed by the senate, has
developed into more important issue
than was expected. When the house
committee on coinage took charge of
the bill, there was thought to be no
doubt that 1t would be reported ia
vorably, but the opposition to the bill
has been growing steadily, until II
seems probable that If reported, the
action will be taken against the wishes
Of a majority ofRepublican members Of
the committee. All Of the Republicans
who have spoken on the measure be-
fore the committee have argued that
there would be an embarrassment to
the incoming administration. On the
other hand some Republicans say
that Senator Garter, of Montana, who
recently had an interview with the
president-elect, quotes Mr.. Mckinley as
expressing a desire that the bill should
pass. The Republican members of the
committee have held conference on
the matter which left the policy unde-
cided. Further hearing on the bill has
been postponed until Friday, and 1t Is
now doubtful whether a vote on re-
porting it will be taken Saturday, as
