wonder. Their teachers and elders do
the same thing.

HANNA TO BE CHAIRMAN.
He Will Preside Over the Next Re-
publican National COnven-

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Jan. 2.-According
to the Cleveland Leader, information re-
ceived by it from a source second only
to President Mckinley and Senator Hanna,
Is to the effect that not only will Senator
Hanna be the chairman OF the next
Republican national committee, but he will
be both Temporary and permanent chair
man OF the Republican national conven-
ton,
This statement may perhaps be explained
upon the hypothesis that such - the ex;,
pressed wish OF President Mckinley and
that the president being the only candi-
date before the convention for the office
he holds, the delegates will cheerfully
acquiesce.
The statement is made that the only
question which has ever existed as to the
continuation of Senator HannaAs leader
ship in the coming campaign was that re-
garding his health. He has now announced
his willingness to undertake the new task
next year and the presidents wish in that
respect is to be gratified. The same source
of Information Is authority for. the state
ment that the delegates-at-large from
Ohio to the Republican convention will be
Senators Hanna and Foraker, Gov. Nash
and Gen. Dick, chairman of the state ex-
ecutive committee.

December 20, 1899. the debt, less cash in
the treasury. amounted to sl.l3i.3oo. COZ, a

This amount, however, does not include
s6ss 97s,4 Os In certificates and treasury
notes outstanding, which are offset by an
equal amount of cash on hand.
The cash in the treasury Is classified as
follows:
Gold. ssssoa2o OFT; silver. s4s7 ZOO. 7as; pa

aion Today.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The senate
committee on foreign relations will meet
tomorrow to consider the bill providing
a government for the Hawaiian islands.
Senator Cullom, the author of the bill.
said today that he hoped It would be re-
ported soon. and added that as soon as
possible after the action of the commit
tee he would ask the senate to take the
bill up for consideration.
So far as has been made known, there
is no general opposition to the BILL though
some of its features will be antagon.zed.
A few senators are urging that the meas
ure be amended so as to leave the GUS
toms laws applying to the islands al
they now stand, to omit the provision
for delegate to congress for the present
because of the possible effects of these
provisions on Porto Rico, and possibly
on the inhabitants of the Philippines, to
say nothing Of Cuba.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2--The forty-seventh
day of the trial of Roland b. Molineux
for the murder Of Mrs. Katherine j.
Adams opened with Harry s. Cornish
again on the stand. The cross-examina-
ton of Cornish by Attorney Weeks was
the feature of the days proceedings.
Trying to Implicate Cornish.
Mr.. Weeks commenced the cross-exami-
nation of Cornish by inquiring about the
hour Of his return homo from the Knick-
erbocker Athletic Club on the night of
December "a, 1898 Cornish acknowledged
he was mistaken in previous testimony
as to the hour. The lines OF the cross
examination were soon shifted, Mr..
Weeks apparently attempting to show
that Mr.. Cornish. after twenty years of
caring for athletes. ought to know the
taste of bromo seltxer. The witness was
next compelled to run gauntlet of ques-
lions regarding his relations with the var
ious members Of the household of Mrs.
Adams. Cornish testified he could not
remember who first told him Mrs. Rog-
ers. the daughter of Mrs. Adams. had
separated from her husband. Cornish tes-
titled that he went to Chicago in 1885, and
that his wife obtained a divorce from
him In March, 1897. Under severe cross
examination he admitted that he knew

Weeks strongly objected, but. despite his
ness to testify that the last autopsy he
had performed had been upon the body of

ON February 2S, 1899
Mr. Weeks continued his pleading with
the Recorder and his objections until Mr..
Osborne remarked that II the attorney for
the defense objected SO strongly that he
would desist and let the witness go.
Court then adjourned until tomorrow.
