Jsvs have been taken up in the debate
Of This measure, and some extraordinary
facts have been developed.

Bowers OF California, denounced 1t as
vicious. and said the government would

fraujuient the alleged Indebtedness az
g. ron 600 ana declared that the Dill pro-
yidas Tor the payment OF four per cent
interest on the fund.
The argument with which the measure
Is supported Is that the government may
well AFFORD to wait six months or year
before prrceeding to f0reclOse, as In thar

CLEVELAND, Jan. 1O.-President-
elect Mckinley remained at the home of
col Myron II. Herrick to-day. This
morning, in company with Mr.. and Mrs.
Herrick, he attended services at the Old
stone church. There was a large con-
creeatlon present. The pastor prayed
for divine blessing upon the President
elect and those who were to compose his
administration.
AS Mr.. Mckinley was about to leave
the church. an amusing incident occur
red. After he had taken his seat in the
carriage three small boys ranged them
selves In line before the carriage door.
The President-elect bowed and smiled,
and was about 10 say u pleasant word
TO the youngsters; one OF them, evident
iy by urearrangement cried: Three
cheers for Mckinley" The cheers were
given with a hearty good Will while
the assembled bystanders clapped their
hands, and the President-elects lace
was wreathed In smiles
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley will return TO
their home in Canton tomorrow Tore
noon.
The opinion among those who claim
to know Is that Senator Sherman VIII be
offered and Will accept the secretaryshlp
OF state in 5Ir. McKlnley's cabinet, and
that Mr.. Hanna will not be one OF the
cabinet advisers OF the next President.
1t is believed to be certain that Mr.. Han
ma will be appointed as the successor OF
AIr. Sherman In the senate, place
which he very much prefers to any
portfoIio which the President-elect could
offer him. Inasmuch as the senatorial
appointment would have to be made by
Governor BUSHNELL, the arrangement
herein suggested is said to indicate the
friendly feeling which Senator-elect
Foraker has for the President-elect ana
for the chairman OF the national COM
mlttee.
Regarding tn selection Of Cornelius n.
Bliss. of New York. for secretary OF the
navy, IT is said that Mr.. Bliss has been
offered the place. but that he deferred
his acceptance until he could ascertain
whether he could so arrange his business
affairs as 10 permit OF his taking the
place. General Alger. OF Michigan, Is
counted as certain to be the secretary or
war.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 1O.-Sena--
tor Proctor of Vermont, has returned
Yrom Cleveland, where he was In consult
tatien yesterday with Presldent-elect
Mckinley. The senator declines TO DIS
cuss for publication the object OF his
visit, as he says his conference with Ma
jor Mckinley was entirely confidential.
Mr.. Proctor, however, felt free to say
for himself that II has been known that
ne personally did not want and would
not accept cabinet position OF any
other office.
