The world has now been permitted TO
hear from Charles II Grosvcnor. With
reference o the purposes Of the Mckinley
administration he gives us the real stuff.
First, President Mckinley win give us an
American administration of foreign af-
fairs which apparently means, according
to Gen. G rosrenor, that We shall not guar
rel with anyt ody and we DO not expect
anyt ody TO quarrel with US, no matter how
much we threaten But chiefly, Gen. & os
veroT says, the new administration will be
devoted TO relieving the Industrial popu-
lat on of our country. The industrial pop
ulat on Of the country would undoubtedly
like 10 see this done, and as Gen. q rosveuor
is a lightning calculator, we may hope
that he himself may have something to do
with the details of the undertaking.

John Sherman is now written Up" as
an ancient. Perhaps this is natural
mistake to make, as the Senator is seventy
four years old, or nearly seventy-four. But
many viii insist that he is by no means
an ancient. 1t is about 100 TO 1 that
he won't be member of the McKinlcy y
Cabinet, partly because a Cabinet officer
must work very hard, and partly because
there is no proper outcome, from the Sher-
man point Of view, for his resignation
from the Senate. There is this about
John Sherman, which is practically trile
In S92 they still spoke OF him pcs
sibie Republican nominee for President.
A friend Of his talked with the Senator at
his Washington home.
Il am growing DID, said Mr.. Sherman,

tion.''
He added, quit in confidence, that Mr..
Blaine also was incapacitated by reason
of ill-health from making the proper kind
of Presidential canvass. OF this fact Mr..
Sherman expressed not the slightest doubt.
There are some observers mean enough
to speak of the II Ion. ohm E. Russell OF
Massachusetts, who has lately been among
us, as an ancient also. This is even more
unfair than the similarly thoughtless men
ton OF Mr.. Sherman. Mr.. Russell, it is
true, is nearly seventy, or perhaps he is
| over seventy, but he does not seem TO be

is as active as boy. His handsome
whiskers and his engaging manner, as
we'll as his renowned activity. for a man

Tie Michigan Senators are encoura ged to

Tie Michigan Senators are encourag ged to
believe that Gen. Alger's chances OF the
war portfolio are not as hopeless as has
been predicted. They argue that the op-
position of Senator Sherman can be over
come, and that the Senator is, in fact, not
| nearly as hostile as he was several
years ago, when he was younger and
| more ambitious. They also urge that Gen.
Alger is tile only conspicuous soldier who
is a leading candidate for Cabinet place
and that President-elect Mckinley is not
likely to fail to handsomely recognize the
soldier element. Gen Alger was a gal
liant cavalry officer in tile rebellion, and
is an eX-comnIander-in- of the G A.
&. This Circumstance is regarded as likely
to prove very helpful to him. Another thing
that makes him likely candidate in their
estimation is tie fact that he is one OF
the few surviving Republicans of Pres-
Dental stature. He has been a formidable
candidate in nationa! convention for head
of tie Republican ticket. Nearly every
Cabinet has contained two or three men
wilohavefgured as Observation-Disclosures
Save only Sherman Alger is the one Cabinet
possibility who has attained that dignity.

M'kINLEY's INAUGURATION.
Arrang gements for the Great Event
Progressing satisfactorily.

WASHINGTON Jan. 10-The arrange
ments for the inauguration of President
elect Mckinley are progressing in manner
very satisfactory to the committee having
them in charge, and it is believed the dec
orations illuminations and ceremonies in
cident to this event will at least equal in
beauty and impressiveness those of any
former inauguration. A large number of
committees, composed of prominent citi-
Zens, each having in charge a single fea-
ture, working in perfect accord, and the
results so far obtained give assurance of
complete success. All of the money asked
for by the executive committee has been
contributed and a number of contracts al
ready have been let.
AT a meeting of the executive committee
Chairman Wright, of the committee on pub
lie comfort, reported that he will be able
TO furnish lodgings for 100000 persons il
necessary. He had already registered 91OO
places where meals may be obtained and
11l windows and number of balconies
from which the parade may be witnessed.
General Clay. from the committee on mil
itary organizations. reported that there
from Pennsylvania, consisting of the Gov
ernor and his staff, division and brigade
commanders and their staffs, three regi-
mentS of ten companies each, twelve regi-
ments of eight companies each. one battal-
ion of four companies. one separate COM
pany, three troops of cavalry. two compa-
nies of naval militia-in all $500 men
Maryland will send her entire national
guard. and large bodies of troops are ex-
pected from New York. New Jersey. Ohio
Rhode Island. Massachusetts and other
States. The cadets from the United States
Military Academy at West Point and from
the United States Naval Academy at An
napols also will be i'm line as well as q
large number of crack military organiza-
tonS from different parts of the country
Applications from civic societies and clubs
for positions are being received and this
feature of the parade will doubt be un-
usually fine.
The inaugural ball promises to be an ex-
ceptionally brilliant affair. The decorations
pointments of a high order. The contract
for the banquet was let to Carl c. Essner
of Philadelphia, after spirited competi-
tary band of sixty-five pieces and an or
chestra of l25 pieces will furnish the music
from separate stands to be erected at the
east and north fronts.
The committee on civic organizatione con
templates the erection of information
booths along the line of the parade and i'm
the business portions of the city. to be
manned by the members of the Washington
High School cadets. The Washington Light
Infantry Veteran Association has rendered
its services TO the committee to do escort
duty during inaugural week. The usual re-
ductions in railroad rates from all parts OF
the country are expected.
