CANTON PEOPLE HAPPY.
President Mckinley Negotiating for
the Purchase of the Mckinley
Cotfape.

CANTON, o., July H.-It was reported
here this afternoon that Attorney Austin
Lynch, the law partner of Judge Day, act
ing for President Mckinley, is negotiat-
ing with Mrs. Elizabeth A. Harter for the
purchase of the famous Mckinley cottage
Mrs. Harter, the owner. declined to talk
for publication. Mr.. Lynch said:
mo deal has been closed, but negotia-
tions are pending. There are some legal
points that hope can be arranged"
Canton is rejoicing over this good news
The railroad records show that nearly
100000 political pilgrims visited the house
to hear the Mckinley front door speeches
in 1896. The house is most commodious
two-story frame building with large YER
andas, and stands on a lot about 100 feet
front and about twice that depth. Friends
here do not think that the president will
make very extensive changes in the home,
If the deal is closed. 1t is thought to be
his desire to again possess the home where
he began married life thirty years ago,
which is sacred in the memories of chill
dren lost there, and which was disposed of
after the death of Mrs. McKinley's mother,
when they removed to the old Saxton
homestead, now owned by Mrs. Barber, a
sister of Mrs. Mckinley. Many people
feared that since the death of his mother
Mrs. Nancy Mckinley, in December, 1897,
and the severing of other home ties, the
president might be persuaded to locate else
where Canton is jubilant tonight in the
hope that the negotiations now proceed
ing may soon be successfully concluded.

CIVIL SERVICE RULING.
Nothing in Rules to Prevent Reduc
tions, According to Assistant
Postmaster General Heath.

WASHINGTON. July 14.-First Assistant
Postmaster General Heath to-day an
nounces his decision sustaining the previous
action in the case of Superintendent Robert
]. Lusk, of Station G." of the New York
city postoffice, whose reduction to an ordi-
nary separator's place at $1,000 was made
civil service issue by the Civil Service
Reform League. The decision has an i'm
portant general bearing.
Mr.. Heath holds that, after investigation,
the department finds nothing in the civil
service rules relative to reductions, except
that they cannot be based on political or
religious opinions and affiliations. In the abb
sence of any rule the department has de-
cided that changes In rank or compensa-
ton of any person within the classified
service is within the discretion of the linn
ttation Section g. Of civil service rule 2, Is
held to imply that a reduction in compen-
sation or rank is not a removal" contem-
plated by the rules and that all required
of the appointing officer is to state upon
his records the reasons for such changes,
and he is not required to furnish the In
dividual statement and opportunity to
answer.

THREE-CENT FARES, WITH UNIvER-
SAL TRANSFERS, IN DETROIT.
1T is A PINGREE SCHEME
HE is TRYING TO PROVE THAT g.
CENT FARES WILL PAY.
Detroit Public Said to Be Opposed to
Municipal Ownership Scheme for
Fear the System Would BE
Improbable With g.
Cent Fares.

DETROIT, July A-"Three cent fares
are announced to-day on the fronts of De-
troit street cars. This sudden voluntary
reduction is the result of a decision of
Governor Pingree and Tom L. Johnson to
give the people an object lesson upon what
they may look forward to II present plans
for the sale of all the Detroit street rail-
ways to the Detroit Municipal Railway
Company in behalf of the city win out.
The Scent tickets sold to-day at five for
10 cents are so worded that their use in full
payment of fare can be withdrawn at any
time.
The city is in furore over the present
situation. All newspapers and nearly all
the more prominent citizens are opposing
the Pingree plan, and 1t Is now claimed
that the majority of citizens oppose II, on
the ground that the 3-cent fares and quasi
municipal ownership will fail to pay the
expenses and the s17,000,000 proposed to be
paid for the roads; and that they will. II
purchased, revert to the present owners. In
the latter event, the roads would be oper-
ated under the security ordinance already
passed by the council which permits opera
tion of all the roads at six for a quarter
fares for from thirty to forty-eight years.
The Pingree people claim that the roads
will certainly pay of their purchase price
under S-cent fares. Governor Pingree is
having circulars distributed on the streets
giving his side of the controversy.
When the council met in special session
at p. m, to consider the working OF the
ordinance asked for by President Pingree,
OF the Municipal Railway Company. the
council chamber could not contain the
crowd which pressed for admittance in the
corridor. Although the situation was
strained, there were no sensational Incl
dents. and the session lasted only fifteen
minutes. The working ordinance had not
been considered by the committee and d
motion to refer 1t to the joint committees,
according to the councils rule, after brief
debate, prevailed without dissenting vote.
1t was suggested by some OF the aldermen
that, since the people are now getting g.
cent fares, there was no cause for haste.
1t Is doubtful whether the committee will
report on the working ordinance before the
regular session next Tuesday. at which
time the mayors veto of the security or
dinance will be presented.
Mayor Maybury has called special meet
ing of the council for tomorrow to consider
submission to vote of the people an
amendment to the city charter, requiring
submission of questions concerning public
franchises.
The chamber Of commerce this afternoon
adopted resolutions protesting against fur
ther action toward the street railway pur-
chase as at present contemplated. Other
meetings of protest were held this evening
Meanwhile, the people are enjoying tenn
porarily at least, the benefits of Scent
fares and universal transfers between all
lines
