GEN. cLAY,s YOUNG WIFE.
Declines TO Eat Thanksgiving Dinner
With Her Husband.

Valley View, KY, Nov. 25.-Gen. Clay's
child-wife ate her Thanksgiving dinner
in the lowly cabin of her brother, Clen
Richardson, instead OF sharing with her
aged husband his bountifuI spread at White
hall.
The general yesterday sent her an invi-
tation to dine with him, but she replied
by messenger that she was not able to
make the trip TO Whitehall. The girl
seems in the pink OF health, and says she
will go back to Whitehall next week and
get some more money.

One Of the measures to be pushed to
eany completion at the coming session
of Congress, is that appropriating sub
sidy for a cable between the United
States and the Hawaiian Islands, and
the probable extension of the line to
japan and the Orient. Bills with this
object in view are now pending in both
branches Of Congress, and the annexation
of the islands Will make it important that
immediate and prompt communication
with our distantterritory be provided. This
Government has made three surveys Of the
ocean bed, each of which has demonstrated
that a cable can be laid without difficulty.
If the bill is passed early this session
the cable could be laid as far as Honolulu
by the latter part of next year.

1t is asserted by those in position to
know the facts that President Mckinney
hand is stayed ON tie Cuban question
solely because OF the influence OF tie
niouied interest which claims TO have
elected him. Ii tie President had his own
way, it S said by intimate friends ne
would take radical steps, but he seems
to be held in cheek by the influences that
dominate Wall street. 1t is known III
Cabinet circles that tie President and
Secretary Sherman do not agree N tie
Cuban question. Il has been subject OF
frequent conference of late. If Sherman
had tie power he would bring the Cuban
crisis oauacutestagean and end the war,eyen
though we became entangled with SPAN
through this humane mission
1t is the very men who are holding the
President in check who are said TO have
started the story that Secretary sherman
was TO resign. But this element cannot
drive John Sherman out or the Cabinet.
He recently told Gen. Grosvenor that in
all his life he had never been so agree
ably situated as in holding the office
OF Secretary Of state" aud Gen. Grosyenor
repeated this statement without any inJunc-
ton Of secrecy. Secretary sherman. does
not propose to get out OF office willingly,
and this A administration Of all Admins
trations can least afford to fOrce him out.
Mr.. Sherman is fretting under the irritat-
ing policy Of inaction and, accustomed
as he has been in the past, TO expressing
himself freely, ne may break the bonds
that hold hirn and do some pointed talk
ing. Meantime, the President is soreiy
pressed. He does not want the public
to believe he is seeking to force Mr..
sherman out OF the Cabinet, and yet he
is hoping to find some way TO mollify the
New York crowd, which. h.strangeIy enough,
were John sherman's most ardent sup
porters in the Senate and as Secretary
of the Treasury, and his Nemesis as Sec
retary of STATE.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The Hanna candidate for speaker oil the
Ohio house has received the pledges OF
many more than the number OF VOTES
necessary To nominate him In the caucus
The other candidates have Withdrawn III
his favor, and this is looked upon by the
friends of the Senator as an evidence that
the opposition to him is weakening, ana
that he will be elected to succeed NM
self. practically without opposition.
At the same time the anti-Hanna leaders
are as emphatic as they have been at any
time since the election in declaring lha1
the Hanna people can neither organize the
house, nor elect Hanna. Of course, IL
combination of anti-Hanna Republicans ana
Democrats can organize the house. the
same combine can probably ceieat the
Senator So far as the State machine is
concerned, it is more important to control
the house and the committees than TO elect
q Senator.
Mr. Hanna Processes TO be confident,
but he is evidently anXiously awaiting
some word from Senator Foraker, and
that word the senior Senator declines to
speak. He made the fight when Re
publicans were opposing the common
enemy, but he VIII now let MIR. Hanna
engineer his own battles. If he cannot
win the Senatorship without Foraker's
assistance, Hanna is defeated
If Senator Foraker had but possessed
the proper firmness Of backbone, Hanna
would have been defeated. Foraker was
drafted into the campaign against his Will,
and was thea sent into the districts where
Forakerlsm was strongest. In these dis
tricts the vote against Hanna was cut
mercilessly, and it was only through the
speeches made by the Senator that they
were saved at all. Several OF them We're
carried by ma joTities SO small as TO be
ridiculous, bat they Were carried, and
if Hanna possessed an infinitesimal por-
ton of that thing known as gratitude.
he would give his colleague credit for
saving him. But he does not do anyt hing
OF the kind. Hanna continues to berate
Senator Foraker, and there is little won
der that, now the legislature las been
won, Senator Fora ker insists upon keeping
out Of the party row.

Lumber Business Booming.

Bangor, September 24.-Operations at
the Bangor lumber boom in 1897 will
be the largest for many years, if not the
largest on record. The crews are now
engaged in raftingEout the ninth drive OF
the season, and on Monday next will &c
after the tenth drive.
The nine drives already aggregate about
55,000,0O0 feet, and it is expected that
there will be three more drives, bringing
the total for the season up to ~, 900, 00C
feet, which will be much in excess of the
amount RATED in 1895, and probably the
grestest IN the history ofsthe boom.
There is every prospect that the coming
seasons operations on the Penobsoot
waters will be larger than for several
years past. Many crews have already
gone into the woods and men are leaving
Bangor daily, in crews of 30 to 100 for
the headquarters. There is no advance
as yet in wages.

CANNON still a Lost Man.

Naples, September 24.-All reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding, Hiram
Cannon is still among the missing. His
anxious relatives are still searching for
him in the woods. Crooked river and
Long lake have not yet been searched.
As is usually the case he has been
heard from all over the lot. One day he
was surely located in Waterford and the
next at Frost's Corner in Norway, but
Alonzo Doughty ran both these
rumors to the ground and found they
had no foundation.
Warren Chute, the stage driver, sought
the aid of the spirits and sent the miss
ing mans sister, Mrs. Walker of Naples,
to consult Mrs. Cole, who is olarivoy-
ant. The latter told Mrs. Walker that
Cannon had wandered away and would
be found at some of the poorhouses in the
neighboring towns. Meanwhile, Cannon
is among the missing.

2 TRIED TO INFLUENCE JURORS.
Questionable Methods Employed BY Mas
sachusests Prohibitionists.

Lawrence, Mass, ssseptember a.
A sensational scene was enacted at the
opening of the Superior court this morn
ing. District Attorney White called
the judges attention to certain
printed articles sent the jurymen regard
ing conviction under the. liquor law.
The paper is entitled The Citizen. Mr..
Henry H. Faxon of Quincy is the author
of many of the articles. Tt consists of
eight pages and is entirely given up to the
abuse of the jury system. An article
about Judge Maynard's Diminishing jury
in disgrace for failing to convict in q
on the front page. The entire sheet is
given up to the abuse of the jury system.
A picture of Henry III. Faxon and sketch
of his life occupies the first page
Che Citizen is published at Palmer and
is bi-monthly. District Attorney White
denounced the sending of such matter to
the jurymen in the strongest terms. The
judge took the matter under considera-
ton. Enclosed in the paper were several
question. District Attorney Whites
words to the judge were that the whole
matter was an exceedingly i'll timed, ILL
advised and poor attempt to bring some
influence to bear upon the jurors that
they would not acquit in the liquor cases.
At 205 this afternoon the trial of Rob-
ert z. CALVIN for shooting Robert Kydd
at Busdeld's heller shop in Haverhill,

Springfield, Ills, September 24.-The
sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows
held three sessions today to clear up the
work before adjournment tomorrow. A
resolution was passed after strong fight
providing that after January /, 1898, no
grand or supreme body shall receive any
consideration for old rituals destroyed or
returned, but shall pay full price for all
rituals furnished.
During the afternoon the body con-
sidered the famous official receipt certifi-
cate. A number of amendments were
offered and pending discussion the lodge
adjourned for supper after which secret
session was held.
There is little doubt that the Rebekah
ritual will be revised as there has been
much dissatisfaction over it. The Odd
Fellows international press association
met today in annual session and elected
the following officers: 81. c. Stevens,
Topeka, president; R. Fl. Shanks,
Winnipeg, Man, vice president, and j.
