| There are dii,rrent stories rs 10 the
cause OF the strained relations, but it
Is safe to say that they will be patched
up by the time Mr.. Mckinley gets to
Ohio, where he expects to be during
the latter part Of August. AS soon az
he takes time to think, Boss Hanna
will realize that lie will need Mr..
Mckinley ID his business before that
Ohio campaign 10 ended, and it necss-
sary will pocket snub or two to get
| his active assistance.
| Mr.. Mckinley appointed F. V.
| Powderly to be Commissioner Gem
| eIal of immigration before he left On
| his vacation. This appointment Was
made necessary by the failure of tii,.
| Senate to act upon Powdelly's nomin-
| alton for this position, and Il bargain,
made before Mr.. Mckinley's election.
1t has been limited by personal friends
of Mr.. Mckinley that he will be rather
glad than otherwise should the Senate
reject Powderly's nomination next
winter. In giving him the recess APP
pointment the bargain that put Pow
derly on the stump tor Mckinley has
been lived up to. If the Senate de-
clines to let him stay there, Mr.. Me-
kinley will have another good ap-
pointment at his disposal.
Representative Prince, of ILL.,, may
find it difficult to square himself with
| the editor of the republican organ at
Moline. He had endorsed the editor
for the postmastership Of the town,
| and, according to the rules in vogue
at the Post Office department. But
this week Mr.. Prince changed his en-
| dorsement from the republican editor
to George II. Mckinley, nephew Of
Mr.. Mckinley. He says he was vir-
tually compelled to changed his en-
dorsement, and gives the following az
the conversation that took place at
the White House between himself and
Mr.. Mckinley: Mr.. McK.--"I wish
you would endorsed my nephew for
the place, Mr.. Prince" Mr.. P.-
"But. Mr.. President. have already
endorsed Eastman (the editor), aud if
60 back on hin, now | will be held
responsible politically" Mr.. Mex
well, say to them that you endorsed
him at my request" Mr.. Prince says
there was nothing else for him to do
after that but to endorse.Mr. McKin-
iey's nephew, but he may find that
the editor thinks differently, and if he
may not satisfy him in someway he
may also find that he has to pay u big
price for having obliged the President.
A study of Car Reeds committees
of the House, annornced just before
Adjournment, shows that Pennsylvania
aud New York, with nine chairman
ships each, got one third of the fifty
| four chairmen of House committees,
while twenty-three states got no chair
men at ali The Eastern States got
| twenty eight chairmanships. When
it is remembered that the legislation
of the House is practically in the
hands of tho chairmeu of committees
this division is significant of the con-
tloliing power.
If proof were needed that Mr. Nc
Kinley was virtually compelled hy
Campaign promises to send that cur
tency commission special message TO
Congress it is easily uiuis.,ed by the
positive statement of prominent re-
publicans Jhac no attempt will
will be made to push the currency
commission bill, which was Jammed
through the House, to vote in the

that Speaker Reed would rot havb
