Hanna left at o'clock this evening for
gave in a somewhat indirect way the
programme of early legislation by the
incoming Administration. He confirmed
the current gossip that it is the inten-
ton of Major Mckinley to convene Con-
greSs in an extra session on March 10th.
He also intimated strongly that an
understanding has been reached with
the doubtful Senators which insures the
success of the Administration tariff bill.
The programme as arranged is that
Chairman Dingley of the Committee on
Ways and Means will frame a bill. He
is at it now, and Senator Aldrich is as
sisting him, and preventing the incor-
poration of any clause that will meet
with serious objection in the upper
branch of Congress. When the measure
reaches the Senate he is to pilot it
through as hastily as possible. The pro-
gramme as it is arranged calls for the
passage Of the bill within sixty days,
and the schedules to be arranged SO that
the measure will be in full force and ef-
feet with the beginning of the fiscal year
on July 1st. The bill is to be distinct
lively protection bill, Incorporating, so
far as now practicable, the main fea-
lures of the Mckinley law, but the first
requirement of the new measure is that
it shall produce sufficient revenue to
meet the needs Of the Government.
The desire of the Administration, Mr..
Hanna said, is to get the tariff measure
into operation as soon as possible, so
that the country may experience the re-
lief of it's increased revenues. That, he
said, is what the country needs and until
it is secured no substantial improve
ment can be expected. He expects an
era of prosperity to Immediately follow
the enactment Of the new tariff bill, and
hopes for but little relief from present
depression before that time.

AUSTRIAN ROMANCE.
Alleged Marriage of Archduke to tn
Daughter of an Engineer.

AusGed Marriage of Archduke to the
Daughter of nm Engineer.
A sensational statement has been
disseminated by several Continental
newspapers to the effect that the Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand, heir presumD-
tive to the Austrian throne, and who
represented the Austrian Court at the
queens jubilee, had been secretly mar
ried TO one Fraulein Hussman. daugh-
ter OF an engineer at Kohlscheid. A
brother OF the lady is a Roman Cath
Ole priest at Ruhrort, and another Is
retured cloth merchant at Essen.
There was some tendency to suspend
judgment before rejecting these reports,
winch originated at Aix-la-C hapelle,
because OF the well known romantic
propensities of the members of the
mousse or Hapsburg. One of these arch
dukes married village postmaster's
daughter, another welded an actress
and yet another casting his royal rank
to the winds and taking a plebian sta
ton, welded an Austrian soubrette,
and sailed away into oblivion. A very
emphatic semi-oficial denial was
promptly issued at Vienna, describing
the alleged marriage as "a ridiculous
invention" Thereupon the Vienna pa
pers began to busy themselves with
inquiries concerning the archduke's
movements. Last week, it is stated,
his imperial highness passed several
days In Syria. and he is now in Hun
gary, whittier he went, according to re-
port, to take part in the reception of
the German emperor. As regarding the
state OF health Of his imperial high
ness, he IL said to have struck every
one In Hungary with his robust APP
pearance. However, the following ex.
traordinary explanation of the rumors
was published in Berlin by the Kreuz
zcitung, highly responsible conser-
vative paper. which describes that the
whole story originated in a barefaced
fraud By designing scoundrel who
passed himself off as the Austrian heir
presumptive. The supposed archduke
addressed himself to the young lady as
DR.. Arend, medical assistant, and when
established In the familys good graces
revealed his pretended imperial status.
He persuaded the young lady to go to
London to be married. On Septem-
Der 9Th she celebrated her birthday in
the midst Of large family circle at
the house OF her brother. a Catholic
priest, the future bridegroom also be-
Ing present. On September 10th the
couple disappeared, the young lady
leaving letter. in which she stated
she was going into "the wide world"
1t Is feared. adds the Kreuz Zeitung,
that the soi-disant doctor is an agent
for procuring girls. since it appears
that he made attempts to take away
the young sister of his fiance also, but
without success. The missing girl was

that the hat would eventually be pre-
