WILL APPOINT JONES.
Latest Reports Indicate that Mr..
Hanna will Not Go to
the Senate.

Cleveland. O., Feb. 4.-Careful inquiry
by a representative of the Associated
press among the more intimate friends
and political advisers of M. A. Hanna
today developed the fact that there is
good ground for the reports which have
been III circulation during the past few
days TO the effect that the national
chairman will not be appointed to fill
the place of Senator Sherman in the
United States Senate.
In fact, it can be stated on unQues-
tionable authority that Mr.. Hanna has
practically abandoned all hope of secur-
ing the appointment. A gentleman who
stands as close to Mr.. Hanna as any
person in Cleveland said today that
there was now no doubt that Gov. Bush
nell would appoint Lieut.-Gov. Jones to
fill the unexpired term of Senator Sher-
man and that at the next session OF the
Legislature, which conyenes in January,
1898, Gov Bushnell would himself be
candidate for the full term. 1t is
further stated on the same authority
that Lieut.-Gov. Jones has agreed not
to be a candidate for the full term in
opposition to Bushnell and that the fight
will then be strictly between Bushnell
and Hanna.
The gentleman who gave this informa-
ton, and whose knowledge upon the sub
ject cannot be doubted, said that the
fight between National Chairman Hanna
and Senator Foraker would now be car
ried on to the bitter end and would, he
said, not be by any means confined to
state politics.
The report that Mr.. Hanna is being
strongly urged to accept the postmaster
generalship in Mr. McKinley's cabinet is
also verified, but thus far it is stated he
has steadily declined to enter the cabinet
in any capacity.
Columbus, O., Feb. 4-Lieut Gov.
Jones today had conference with Sen
ator Foraker at Cincinnati and with
Gov. Bushnell here, but would neither af-
firm nor deny the sensational story.
Hanna Knows of No Friction.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 4.-Mark Hanna,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, arrived in Pittsburg at 1890
this afternoon to attend the libel cases
brought by State Senators G. L. Magee
and William Flynn against the CONNER
cial Gazette and Press of this city. An
Associated press representative met Mr..
Hanna at the station, but he refused
to say anything on the senatorial sub
ject.
els there as much friction between
the Republican factions in Ohio as has
been reported?" asked the reporter.
eff there is" said Mr.. Hanna, Il
never heard of it. Of course the news
papers must have something to talk
about
''It is said that there is a good deal
of wrangling among the leaders over
the United States senatOrship.'
II don't know Of any trouble what
ever" he replied.
Mr. Hanna then said that he expected
to return to Cleveland tonight and
would not go to Washington until two
days before the Inauguration.

one are to be elected by the people and
six by different corporations. The re-
mainder will be one magistrate, one uni
versity professor, one archbishop and five
former senators or deputies.
The council of administration is en-
powered: First, to prepare a budget;
second, to examine into the fitness of of
ficials appointed third, to make tariff
subject to the condition of Spanish i'm
ports having advantages over the general
tariff.
The encouragement will represent the
home government and will have the right
to nominate officials, who shall be Gu
bans or Spaniards who have resided two
years in Cuba. Nevertheless he may
freely nominate high functionaries such
as magistrates, projects, etc.
Other DEGREES concern the organization
Of the provisional municipalities, which
are to be literally representative.
According to another decree the gov
eminent reserves to itself extraordinary
powers in the event Of any disturbance
of public order and Cuba will continue
to elect senators and deputies to the
Cortes as at present.
Altogether the reforms are much
broader in the direction Of decent rsali-
Zation than those granted to Porto Rico.
The powers of the encouragement are
much extended while the council Of adj
ministration is fairly representative of
all parties and interests.
The Spanish government will con-
tinue to vote budgets and treaties for the
colonies. The Spanish products, accord
ing to the reform scheme, will be al
lowed a rebate of 40 per cent. of Cuban
tariff, compared with other imports.

Boiler Explosion at a Hospital.

Advices from Theodore Scholer, chief
engineer of the hospital for the insane
at Medical Lake. Wash, give essentially
the following data Of the explosion of one
of the battery Of boilers there at about
II D. M, December %. 1896. The boiler
was of SIG inch 6O,O00-pound steel, 81
inches in diameter by Is feet long, with
fifty-four 3-inch tubes and 1a-inch heads
with five crowfoot braces in each. 1t
had a 4-inch and 3-inch connection to the
6-inch steam header and safety valve
set to blow off at eighty-fve pounds. 1t
had been in use to drive the dynamo en-
CINE at 80 pounds pressure until 1870 p.
m, when the engine was stopped and the
boiler was filled with warm water and
the fire left to go down. The gauge was
reported to register about so pounds just
before the explosion tore the boiler apart
through the double-riveted longitudinal
seam. broke out two-thirds of the rivets
and Hanged out the girt seam at an angle
of 40 degrees. The two pieces of the
boiler were thrown a considerable dis
lance from their foundations and COM
pletely wrecked the stone wall and roof
of the boiler-house The fireman in
charge at the time of the accident was
severely scalded and the structure was
damaged to an extent estimated at $4,000

of the electoral vote of the last presidential
the House adjourned.
The contested election case of Cornett
against Swanson from the Fifth Virginia
district occupied the attention of the House
on the Sd. Three Republicans and three
Democrats on the elections committee had
reported in favor of the Democratic cons
testee, Mr.. Swanson, and three Republicans
offered a minority report, recommending
that the seat be declared vacant on the
ground that fair election could not be
held under the Virginia election law. The
majority report was sustained by Mccall
H}ep., Mass0, MIR. Jones Dem, Va.), Mr..
Jenkins rep. Wis.,. When the vote came
to be taken the minority could not muster
enough votes to call the yeas and nays, and
Nh SwansOn's title TO his seat was con-
frmed by an overwhelming viva voce vote.
The proceedings III the House the 4th
were mainly devoted to the District of CO.
lumbia appropriation bill. The amendment
to that bill, to repeal law by which the
court of claims was engaged in passing on
claims aggregating S1,400,000 against the
district during the Coy. Shepherd regime,
was adopted with practical unanimity A

CARLISLE ENGAGED AS COUNSEL
Secretary will Appear in the Chicago
Lake Front Suit.

Secretary will Appear in the Chicago
Lake Front Suit.
Washington. D. c., Feb. 4.-John G.
Carlisle, secretary of the treasury, has
been retained as leading council for
BeHner & La Toilette, who are seeking
TO get possession of about 100 acres Of
land on the lake front in Chicago
Mr.. Carlisle has not yet appeared
openly as counsel, and will not until
he retires from the treasury, March 4.
He will not then devote his whole time
to the case, but will appear as principal
counsel for Benner & La Toilette in all
stages of the litigation.
The amount involved is enormous.
The land which Benner & La Toilette
seek to get patented to them for a song
is estimated to be worth not less than
S16000,000. It embraces about 100
acres in the business district at the
mouth Of the Chicago river and immedi-
ately north of that stream resting Oh
the lake front.
Secretary Carlisle went to New York
last night. While his mission has not
been made public, it is believed that it
is to investigate certain business propo-
sitions which have been made to him,
looking to his opening a law Office i'll
New York after the 4th of March.

COL. CROFTON is OUT.
Army Officers Arbitrarily Relieved
by Order of President
Cleveland.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 4.-CoI. r. e.
Crofton, Fifteenth infantry, U. S. A.,
was arbitrarily relieved today by order
of the President.
1t has been the desire of the war de-
partment that this officer should leave the
active service and efforts have been made
during the past two years to attain this
end, first through intimations to the
friends of Col. Crofton that his retire
ment would be granted if applied for, and
this failing, through that law which
Obliges an officer to retire if found physi-
cally unfit for service by a medical board.
This last course was adopted about
nine months ago but also without sue
cess, the board finding that the officer
was in good condition physically. Flnai-
ly recourse has been had to the law
which permits the President to retire an
officer arbitrarily when he shall have
reached 60 years of age. Col. Crofton
passed this milestone last month and
the law has been applied to his case.
This is a most unusual proceeding, the
last instance of a forced retirement being
in the case of Gen. Cara, who was
forced out in order to permit OF the pro-
motion of officers below him in rank.
Col. Grofton was in command Of the
Fifteenth infantry while the organization
was stationed at Fort Sheridan near CHI
cago, and was, with or without just
ground, held responsible Tor the many III.
cidents in the history of the occupation OF
the post that furnished matter for the
courts.
Col. Crofton had a good war record.
He was not a native American, being
born in Ireland. He was brevetted ma
jor and colonel for gallant service at
Shiloh and Chickamauga. He became
colonel of the Fifteenth infantry in Octo-
Der, 1886, and is now stationed at Fort
Bayard, n. NJ, whence that command
was removed when the last change in
stations of troops was made.

THE DAIRY MAID MUST GO.
Clever Device Warranted to Milk 200
Cows in Three Minutes.

Clever Device Warranted to Milk 200
Cows in Three Minutes.
A Michigan man has invented a ma
chine for milking COWS. His name is
H. ]. Corwin and he resides near Di-
mondale. He is buying COWS and by
spring will have 200, all of which with
his device he expects to milk in three
minutes. The cows are to be driven OH
to a circular platform with their heads
all in a circle. Then staples are let
down beside each neck, which holds
them from getting away, either forward
or backward. They each stand in stalls.
At the head bran mash is poured in
boxes for them to eat while being MIXED.
A large leather band, with sacks for
the teats of each COW, rises up and en-
velops the milk-givers. These sacks are
rubber, and air is injected into them in
such a way that the milk of the POO
cows runs in streams through little pipes
to a reservoir, thence to cooling room.
Mr.. Corwin claims that he can milk
1000 COWS just as easy or easier than
man can one. After the COW has been
MIXED once by this process they each
take their places in the stalls, without
any trouble, as the animals seem to like
this way best. He has two large farms
within mile of Dimondale, and intends
to raise nothing but cows. The female
calves he will keep, and the male calves
he will veal for the markets. AS he is a
great drover, he will ship his own stock.

Says He will Say Few Words for a
Friend.
Canton, O., Feb. 4.-Gen. r. A. Alger
Of Michigan, who has been selected for
secretary of war, reached here this morn
ing for a conference with Maj. McIAin-
ley.
He says the object Of his visit is to
say a few words for friend and not 20
discuss any question of policy or to sub
nit any appointments to his department.
The former, he says, will be postponed
until the administration is organized and
that no decisions have been reached III
regard to the latter.
Gen Alger declined to say who the
friend is in whose interest he is in Can
ton or what he wanted for him.
Concerning the question of policy he
said: ''There may be occasion for
great many changes in any plans we
might make and possibly the total aban-
donment of any policy we might consider
now Therefore / have considered it best
not to formulate any.
''My time at home, since | accepted the
secretaryShip last week in Canton, has
been fully taken up in answering con-
gratulatory kilograms and letters, and |
am 500 or 600 behind. Then my bust
ness interests claim a good deal of my
attention, so that | have but little time to
give to the consideration of appoint
ments."
Secretary Alger left on the 1890 p. m.
train for Cleveland. He will remain
there over night and return to his home
in Detroit Friday morniI z. He had a
very pleasant interview with the Presi-
dent-eect of about two hours duration.
State Chairman John X. Gowdy is
here for the day and says his object is to
talk over Indiana matters in general. He
blushed like a schoolgirl when asked if
he expected to be commissioner of pen
sions and said that that position any man
would be proud to fill.
