~ object was to put the Or
ganizatlon of the Commit
tees into the hands Of h is
friends and then get out.
Although everybody knew
that Senator Kean, of N. j..
was IA railroad and corpora
ton lawyer, and therefore
naturally inclined to favor
trusts of all kinds, he sur
prised many by publicly de-
claring, while he wasin Wash
,ngton a day or two ago,
that the people of New Jer-
sey would not support any
party that condemned trusts
because the trusts organized
under their state laws paid
40 much money into t h e ir
state treasury. Surely it is
time to do some hard think
ing when a Senator publicly
states his belief that b is
state has been bought by the
trusts--to be exact, Kean's
words were: The annual rev.
enue from the tax on the cap
itoI of all corporations crea-
ted under our laws II ow a.
mounts to between $780,
900 and 100000. You can
readily see that the people
who benefit from this influx
of wealth are not apt to be
antagonistic to the corpora
tlons that contribute it,"
According to current gos-
sip, Secretary Alger is un-
grateful along with bis many
other faults. He has announ'
ced himself Il candidate for
Seuator McMillan's seat, and
the latter has announced his
candidacy to succeed himself,
it is said at the request oI
Mr.. Mckinley. So TIE coun'
trv is likely to see the m a n
who has been in the Cabinet
against the almost geneT al
protest of the country, run
ming for the Senate as an an
ti-McKinley candidate. This
is explained by friends of Mr.
Mckinley by saying that the
President is bound by prom
ises to keep Alger in the Cab
net unless he will voluntarily
resign, but is determined tt
get even by keeping him out
of the Senate.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Mr.. Mckinley is finding TIE
hot wea ather in which he has
been ever since he. got back
to Washington much more
uncomfortable than that IN
which he bathed at the hot
springs. The mess in Cuba,
where the Cuban army is al
most on the verge of open re
volt, is not conducive to his
peace OF mind, but it. is no
more than might have been
expected from the policv that
he has let Alger attempt to
carry out over there. Some
go so far as to charge that
Alger is trying to drive the
Cuban army into reyolting
for purposes Of his own, al
though it IS dificultto imag-
inc what purposes he could
havefthat could he served by
such a misfortune as t h a t
would necessarily prove to
be.
When Mr.. Mckinley went
away he expressed the opin-
ion that Aguinaldo would
surrender and that peace
would be established in t h e
Philippines before his return,
but he found things very
much as they were when he
left Washington. Aguinaldo
is still trying to negotiate
and is still being refused by
Gen. Otis.
Friends of the several can.
didates for Speaker are try
ling to force Mr.. Mckinley to
declare himself and there il
a sort of an understanding
that in order to square him.

not satisfactory to the other
candidates. Payne is here
