Gen. Lees Resignation at This
Time is in Order.
SENSATIONAL CUBANTALE EXPLAINED
Customary for All Our Representatives
Abroad To Place Their designations
with the State Department on the
Eve ofa Change of Government.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The incoming
mails of the past few days received at
the state department have been bur-
dened with designations of diplomatic
and high consular officers abroad. 1t
is custom which has developed the
force of an unwritten law for all our
diplomatic officers to place their resig-
nations in the hands of the secretary Of
state of the outgoing administration,
when the change of administration, as
in this case, involves change of poll
tical parties. Mr.. Bayard's resigna-
ton as ambassador to England, it is
understood, was received some time
since, as was also Mr.. Eustis' as ambas-
sador to France, and Mr.. Uhl's as am
bassador to Germany. The consuls
general in London, Paris and Liver
pool, these being regarded as positions
more important than many of the minor
diplomatic posts, have also intimated
that they await the nomination and
qualification of their successors. By
the urgent insistence of our state de-
partment, when Ramon o. Williams
was consul-general at Havana and
Martinez Campos was captain-general
of Cuba, Mr.. Williams was accorded
semi-diplomatic rights, representations
directly from the government of Cuba,
instead of forwarding his remons-
frances to the state department at
Washington to be in this way trans
mitted to Madrid and referred back to
the captain-general, thus insuring in
thus occupying SO important a po-
sition, the state department officials
entertain no doubt that he has for
warded his resignation in the same
manner as other officials of like rank,
so as to place the appointment of his
successor at the disposal of Mr.. Me-
Kinley, if he should choose to act upon
the resignation. The sensational re-
port from Havana that Consul Lee had
forwarded his resignation is thus ex
planned.
Further Denial of the Cuban Sensation.
At the state department this morn
ing it was again positively denied that
Consul General Lee has resigned be-
cause the state department had de-
ciined to authorize him to demand the
release of American prisoners, and also
because our government failed to send
warships to Cuba in compliance with
his request. The Virginia members
of congress have no information con-
cerning the intentions of Gcn. Lee.
Mr.. Otey said to-day: Il place no cred
ence in the report that Gen. Lee has
resigned because of any disagreement
with the administration. Gen. Lees
friendship for the president is very
strong and l believe that would re-
strain him from taking such step
even if he felt disposed to do So" Mr..
Tyler said: 81 have no information of
Gen. Lees opinions on the Cuban ques-
ton, but it would be due him to resign
if he thought the administration was
failing properly to protect American
citizens"

NR. HANNA'S PLANS
He Tells What He Expects To Do
While in Washington.
WILL Be A VERY BUSY MAN
A National Chairman Many Politica
Matters Will Come Before Him---As
Senator He will Devote Much
Time to the Tariff Question.

Canton, O., Feb. 24.-Many callers
have come to Canton during the past
two days to see the president-elect, but
only one or two with whom he had an
appointment saw him. The doctor
still insists that Major Mckinley must
not see visitors, and those who come
without having been sent for are vast
ing time and money Chairman Han
ma of the republican national commit
tee chatted genially last evening with
the representative of the United Asso-
ciated Presses. "This is my last visit
to Canton before the Inauguration of
Major Mckinley. 1 expect to leave
for Washington Friday afternoon.
found myself in a very agreeable situa-
ton, and one which, two months ago,
l never dreamed of. My understand
ing is that Mr.. Foraker will be the
senior senator from Ohio" "What do
you expect to make your chief work in
Washington" was asked. "As chair
man of the national committee | will
have great many political matters to
look after. In congress, as I am
business man, expect to devote good
deal of time to the consideration of
the tariff question. l think that l am
pretty well in touch with the business
and commercial interests of the coun
try, and | think know what these in
terests want and have a right to expect.
All business men and all those interest
ed in the return of prosperity agree, |
take it, that we must have revival
law that will produce revenue to pay
the current expenses of the govern
ment. l want to see such law con-
structed on protective tariff lines passed
at the earliest possible moment and
think great majority of the members
of congress are of the same mind
Referring to the Kentucky situation
Mr.. Hanna said: "Gov. Bradley, who
came to see me a day or two ago told
me that he would appoint senator as
soon as vacancy occurred. He will
also call special session of the legisla-
ture." Speaking of the effect of Gov.
Bushnelfs determination to appoint
him to the senate to succeed John
Sherman, Mr.. Hanna said: 1.-The So
called Ohio situation is now perfectly
clear. Peace reigns The partly is
strongly consolidated and in splendid
condition to go into the campaign next
fall. There is no reason why a condi-
ton of harmony and good feeling
should not prevail for years among the
Ohio republicans and 1 firmly believe
such will be the case" Ex-senator d.
M. Sabin and ex-congressman S. P.
Snyderof Minnesota were among Major
McKinley's callers yesterday afternoon
Mr.. McKinley's nephew and niece,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Morse of San
Francisco, arrived last night and will
accompany the presidential party to
Washington.

FIGHTING IN CRETE
Christians and Turks Renew Hos
tilities in the Suburbs of Canea.
TURKISH WARSHIP FIRES ON REBELS
White Flag Flying Over the Christia ms
Position at the Time---Formal Pro-
test Against the Recent lombard
ment by Foreign Wnrships.

Canea, Feb. 24.-Great excitement
was caused here last night by smart
rifle firing to the westward of the
town. 1t was soon learned that the
firing was taking place between the
Turkish outposts and Christian insur-
rents, and the report spread that the
outposts had bc, i driven back and the
insurgents were approaching the town.
Crowds of residents went TO the ram
parts of the city and anXiously
watched the outcome of the fighting.
The firing ceased in a short time with
out either side having gained any ma
terial advantage or, SO far as
known, causing any casualties. A
Turkish warship in Suda bay and the
soldiers in the arsenal there fred re-
peatedly at the village which was
shelled Sunday by the foreign fleets.
There was absolutely no reason for
this attack except that the Turks were
DESTROYS of provoking an occasion for
further intervention on the part of the
European powers. A white flag was
flying over the position occupied by the
insurgents, but this did not prevent
the firing. The insurgents, probably
understanding the motives of the
Turks, did not reply to the fire.
The leaders of the insurgents who
We're shelled Sunday have made
through the Greek commodore a formal
protest against the action of the for
eign admirals, They declare in their
protest that, acting in obedience to
the powers. they refrained from actual
hostilities against the Moslems as long
as it was possible.

Mrs. ParneIl in Absolute Want.

Dublin, Feb. 24.-In speech de-
livered in this city last night Timothy
Harrington, NJ. p for the Harbor divi-
sion of Dublin, declared that it was abb
surd to say that the Parnellite cause
was prospering when the mother of
Charles Stewart Parnell was in abso-
lutte want in the house in which the
dead Irish leader was born. Mr.. Har-
rington is himself member of the
Parnellite section of the Irish parlia-
mentary party, but his speech is held
to foreshadow his separation from
Redmond, the leader of that section.

House of Representatives

The house ran unexpectedly into an
interesting and possibly significant dis
cussion of the civil service law. 1t
came about by the consideration of a
bill to amend the revised statutes, so
as to give the governors of territories
the power to remove as well as to ap-
point certain territorial officers. 1t was
participated in by dozen members or
more, nearly all of whom criticized and
condemned the law, it finding its only
defenders in Representatives Brosius,
rep, Pa, and Walker, rep, Mass. Mr..
Grosvenor denounced it as a "sinuous,
infamous conspiracy upon the govern
ment," and expressed the opinion that
tide was rising in this country which
would sweep bureaucracy from power.
Mr.. Bailey denounced the system as
humbug, and said the reason why the
democratic party did not repeal the
law, when it had the power, was that
it did not have sense enough. Mr..
Brosius deprecated the sentiments of
Mr.. Grosvenor and of the republican
applause which the utterance evoked,
saying that in view of Major McKin-
ley's well known attitude toward the
merit system, it seemed to him, "a
feshing of sword in the heart of the
president-elect." The bill was passed.
