on Monday to enact law giving the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary
OF the Interior and the Postmaster Cen
eral authority to use their discretion in
expanding money appropriated for pub
lie buildings so long as they do not ex-
coed the limit of cost fixed by Congress-
In order to make the situation clear the
Secretary cited the case of the federal
building at Racine, Wis. Congress APP
propriated 100000 for this building. 1t
was estimated by the supervising archi-

plain brick and terra Gotta, exclusive of
heating, lighting and incidental ex
penses, for less than 100000. Bids were
solicited and a contract let for S44 BAT,
leaving 800 in the fund set aside for
the building alone, without interior fin
ishing 1t was then decided that stone
building could be built within the limit

THE indications now are that the po-
litical intentions of M. A. Hanna will
occupy the Cabinet guessers the rest OF
this week. 1t is rumored by many Of
Mr.. Hanna's Cleveland friends who have
visited Canton recently that he may de-
eide to accept the position of Postmaster
General. The most generally accepted
opinion is that Mr.. Hanna thinks he will
not be appointed to the Senate by Gov
ernor Bushnell. though the rumor that
Governor Bushnell has decided to ap-
point Lieutenant Governor Jones to fill
the seat in the United States Senate
which will be vacated by John Sher-
man on the 4th of March, is not thought
to be wholly reliable.

as the Senate willing to abdicate as

ing power of the government" This
was the question asked by Senator Nor
gan in the executive session of the Sen
ate. Mr.. Morgan's question and follow
ing argument created quite sensation.
They give key to the opposition which
the general arbitration treaty between
the United States and Great Britain is
encountering in the United States SEN
ate. For five hours that treaty, consid-
cred the most important diplomatic doc
ument in the recent history Of the two
nations, was discussed by the Senate in
secret session. No definite action was
taken, nor were the details of the treaty
and proposed amendments considered,
the talk being on the general principles
involved. Considerable opposition was
developed, although whether it is suffi-
Gent to defeat the ratification of the
treaty is still an open question. Senator
Sherman hopes soon to get vote, but
Senator Teller says it will be week or
two before the debate can be exhausted,
and other opponents of the scheme pre-
dict even longer delay. The outlook
is that this prediction will be realized.
but the general impression is that the
treaty will be finally ratified with incon-
siderable amendment.

THE rumor that Queen Victoria is
about to abdicate in favor of the Prince
OF Wales is no more absurd now than it
was in former years. 1t apparently has
no more foundation in fact, either, and
does not seem to have any greater
chance of fulfillment than did the other
predictions to the same effect that have
periodically appeared during the last ten
or twelve years. 1t is natural that this
rumor should start afresh, now that the
Queen is about to celebrate her Re
cord Reign" 1t will be remembered
that it flew around with particular
energy during the Jubilee celebrations.
Queen Victoria was going to abdicate
then because she had reigned fifty years
and thought that was long enough.
Now che is going to allow the Prince to
take her place because, having ruled
longer than any other British sovereign,
t. re is no object in her continuing on
the throne. 1t is safe to predict that as
long as Queen Victoria lives we will
continue to hear rumors of her retire.
ment, and equally safe to say that, as
long as she is able to perform the not
exacting duties of her exalted position,
the rumors will probably continue to be
without foundation.

HEBREW NEW YEAR.
Interesting Event. to BE Celebrated

Commencing Sunday next at sunset, there
will begin one of the most interesting
events in the entire Jewish calendar The

Sinai. These forty days end on the Day
of Atone cement; which will fall this year on

These days are observed by Jews through.
out the world, with impressive ceremon

centuries is rigidly adheard to- while the
conservative or reformed branches of Juda-

An interesting and impressive feature of
