FAST TIME
To Be Provided For In the New
Schedule of the Wheeling
& Lake Erie.

Wheeling, Nov. 13.-The new schedule
on the Wheeling & Lake Erie will likely
go into effect about the 25th of this
month. The company on this occasion
intends making a great many changes
and proposes to better it's train service.
The schedule as is now in effect will
be so changed that one hour an a half
will be cut off Of trains between Wheel
ing and Toledo, and one hour between
Wheeling and Cleveland. The road as
it now stands has the fastest service
between the last two named cities, but
with one hour off will be better than
ever. The company will also arrange
this new time table so that next
February when the new buffet cars are
added no change will be necessary.

JOHN P. SAYS
That Foraker Will Get the
Worst of His Deal With
Senator Hanna.

Columbus, Nov. 13.-Friends of Sen
ator Foraker are warning. him that Col
Dick has always kept his promises and
that he is also ambitious. Despite the
statement in telegram to Foraker
after the election that his return to the
senate was assured because President
Mckinley was endorsed it is now said
that the colonel of the Eighth Ohio has
designs on the senatorial togs himself
The men whom Senator Foraker de-
serted are not wondering at the turn
affairs have taken. They expect For
aker to be worsted in his deal with
Hanna. Hon. John P. Jones. state la
Dor commissioner, talked freely upon
the position in which Senator Foraker
is placed by his desertion of his old
time friends. and recruiting Hanna s
ranks.
WHIPPED INTO LINE.
"I am not angry at the senator, as
some of the boys are" said he. HE
undoubtedly took the course he did be-
cause he thought it would insure his
re- election to the senate two years
hence. But think that the senator is
building a house upon sand. / do not
know what pledges he received from
Hanna, nor how far such pledges are
to be relied upon. But consider the
probabilities of the situation. Foraker
did not join Hanna until he had to. He
fought him as long as he could, and
preserved a neutral position when fur
ther opposition became dangerous. ~
was only when he was whipped into
line that he became recruit in Hauna's S
ranks. Therefore Hanna owes him no
gratitude. 1t is business proposition.
Two years from now Foraker will have
contributed so far as possible to Nc
Kinley's denomination, which will have
been all that is desired of him. Neither
Hanna nor Mckinley will have further
need of him. Why, therefore, should
they go to the trouble of fighting to Sc
cure him a reelection to the senate?
They will let him paddle his own ca
noe"
