Senator Foraker had his final interview
with the president on the subject of Stor-
er's appointment. 1Io frankly told the
president that he did not wish to raise
an issue with the administration, but that
he would certainly endeavor to defeat
his nomination In the senate. There Is
an impression that the president Will
name Mr. Storer and take chances with
the senate confirming him, despite Sena-
tor Foraker's opposition. TINS may re-
suit in a renewal of the old political teud
between Mr.. Mckinley and MIR. Foraker

There are two public documents which
are now in very great demand. one is
the volume of consular regulations which
supplies would-be consuls with informa-

has been ordered by congress, and can

There is not much style about Secretary
of the Navy Long. He is often seen on
the streets wearing a short coat and plug
hat and a pretty rusty looking one at
that. In this respect he differs from his
predecessor, Mr.. Herbert. who always
wore the conventional long Prince Albert
coat and highly polished silk hat.

Secretary of the Navy Long evidently
has a good deal of faith in his new assist
ants ability else he would not have
amended the naval regulations governing
the duties of the assistant secretary of
the navy so as to provide as follows
THE assistant secretary will perform
such duties as may be prescribed by the
secretary or required by law. All orders
issued by the assistant secretary in the
discharge of such duties will be consid-
cred as orders of the secretary, and will
be obeyed and respected accordingly"
This is a pretty sweeping order and one
which has never prevailed In the navy
department before. During the absence
of the secretary it gives the assistant
secretary full power to act as he pleases
Mr.. Roosevelt will in all probability.

With the president out of town and the
house not in session very few of the
Pennsylvania members of congress are

Judging from a letter recently received
here by friend of Consul General Lee,
he has no idea when he will leave Cuba.
1t was thought some time ago that he
would be relieved from duty on that
island Immediately after the Inauguration
of President Mckinley. He writes that
he does not know when he will return,
and has had no intimation from the
president when his successor will be ap-
pointed. He is believed to be willing to
serve as consul general to Cuba as long
as the administration desires.

Considered Practically Certain That He
Will Succeed Himself
y CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 27.-Ever since
the, legislative reunion and banquet at
Columbus, there has been a growing
feeling IN well informed political CIR
cles that the naming of Mr.. Hanna as
the, successor of Senator John Sher-
man, by Governor Bushnell, is well
nigh a certainty. This opinion is not
alone confined to Mr.. Hanna's friends
but is not even admitted by those who
have opposed him as candidate far
the senate.
Governor Bushnell said peli-
tician of national reputation, "has. sv-
erything to gain if he names Mr..
Hanna and nothing to lose. On the
other hand, in the face of the general
sentiment in favor of the latter, should
he select some other man for thea place,
it would be political suicide"
At O'Clock EEr. Hanna left Sor Can
ton to consult with the president-eleca
on numerous matters of Importance.

The future of republican silver or
Ranization will depend, in a large
measure, upon the outcome of to.day's
convention in Chicago. Prominent
populists have been invited to partici.
pate, and plans for fusion in the next
congressional nominations are already
beng talked over. The conference
owes its inception to an address issued
on Westinghouse birthday by the repub-
licans of the senate anil the house OF
representatives, calling for the selec-
ten in each state OF a member of the
provisional committee. In response to
the call, state conventions have been
held during the past two months. for
the purpose of appointing delegates,
many OF the gatherings being marked
by the presence and cooperation of
silver democrats.

The strong declaration by M. Me

ner to the bimefallic delegates of the
United States, that France will sup
port the United States in the move.
ment for international bimetallism,
shows the situation In a very different
light from that represented in the or
gans of the extreme gold standard in
terest. The public declaration leaves
no doubt that the efforts OF the United
States will receive active support in
France, at least, and with the growth
of bimetallic parties in Germany and
England the repeated assertions that
il cannot even get a hearing are plain
" born of the wish rather than of the
facts.

The trial of Walter Schafer. indic1

The trial of Walter Schaffer, indict,
ed for the murder of Edward Harrison
near Silver City, In February, 1895,
occupied the attention of the court
Friday and Saturday. The case for
the Territory rested almost entirely
upon confessions alleged to have been
made by the accused to Frank Mark
ham and BEDFORD Jobe, the latter being
under indictment for the same crime,
supplemented by circumstantial evil
dence. The defense very successfully
~impeached the regulations and the
testimony of the two men and set up
an alibi. The jury were only out for a
few minutes AMI returned a verdict Of
not guilty, the defendant being dis
charged from custody.
