WILL FIGHT M'kENNA.
Anti-CathOlic and Railroad Influences VIII
Oppose His Advancement.


WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Telegrams
and letters were received here yester-
lay indicating that fight is likely to
be made against Attorney General Nc
kenna if he is nominated to succeed
Justice Field. The opposition will be
oased on religious grounds. Judge
Mckenna is devout Catholic. He
was originally selected for secretary
If the interior, but the opposition to
him was so strong that he had to be
shifted to the department of justice, so
that he should not have control of the
Indian schools. 1t is not believed that
the senate will pay much attention to
this exhibition of religious intoler-
ance, but the effort to defeat his con-
firmation will nevertheless be made.
1t will be helped along by the railroad
interests, and the recent decision on
the discriminating duty will be cited
freely in an effort to show that the at
torney general is not possessed of such
distinguished ability as to justify his
elevation to the supreme bench.
