FORAKER AND HANNA.
The Two Ohio Senators at Swords
Points Over Patronage.

Washington, April 28.-Senators Han
ma and Foraker have disagreed on the
subject of Ohio patronage, and the in
dfcations point to a hot fight between
the respective factions.
Hanna insists upon the appointment
of Louis Voight of Cincinnati as sur
lveyor of the port. Voight was elected
to the state senate on a distinctively
anti-Hanna platform. He was elected
by a combination of the anti-Hanna
Republicans with the Democrats. In
stead of keeping faith, Weight voted for
Hanna, and now he claims the survey
ship as his reward. Senator Foraker
wants Hermann Grepper appointed.
The latter is one of the leading and
prominent Republicans of Ohio. Sena-
tor Foraker objects to having the Eed-
reral offices of Ohio used to pay the po-
litical debts of his colleague.

NOT THE PROPER THING
For Spaniards to Solicit War Fund
in London.

London, April 2S.-The Spanish am
bassador, Count Won Rascon and
Countess De Casa Valencia, wife of the
former ambassador here, have opened
funds in connection with the war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
The fund of the countess, however, is
only intended for the relief of the sick
and wounded; but the subscriptions be-
ing collected by the Spanish ambassa-
dor are toward the national fund being
raised by Spain to increase the strength
of the Spanish fleet. This is regarded
as a serious abuse of diplomatic privi
1ege, and therefore questions on the
subject are promised in the house of
commons.
