Washington, March L. 1901.
In the course of the only street cor
ner argument allowed myself to get
into during the last campaign the man
who was keeping up the other end of
it, having run out of argument, said
after the manner of one. clinching a
nail, "Well, anyway, Hanna runs Nc
Kinley." | asked him how he knew
that: "Why didn't Mckinley say
that he would not make any speeches
during this campaign, and hasn't
Hanna told him he has got to-"
"Well he hasn't made any yet, has
hep mo, but you will see that he
does before the campaign is over. He
has to do what Hanna tells him to. :"
The President made no speeches dur
ing the campaign, but this man is
doubtless just as firmly convinced still
as he ever was that Hanna runs Nc
Kinley," and he doubtless expressed
what a great majority of Democrats,
and perhaps few Republicansh honest
ly believe. The political cartoonists
and Democratic editors and speakers
have so persistently represented tee
President as mere appendage of
Senator Hanna that most of his politi
cal opponents and some even of his
political friends, have adopted their
view.
But here where all the facts are.
known the suggestion that the Presi-
dent is under the domination of Hanna
or any other man, is not so much as
whispered. On the contrary, so far
as any complaint whatever is made
against him it is that he coerces Con-
gress into supporting policies which
he originates. sat in the Senate

sure, was as unjust at one extreme as
the charge of the Presidents weakness
is on the other, but | mention it to
show how small stock is taken here in

The truth is, that the President no

William Mckinley has dominated the
legislative policy Of this country for
the past four years, it is true; but he
has done it, not by the power of his
great Office, but by the wisdom of his
suggestions and by his marve. Gus tact
and skill in dealing with men, His
wisdom so appeals to the mind and
his winning personality so appeals to
the heart of those who come near to
him that the opposition to the policy
he proposes is dispirited and perfume

the recent contest over the Cuban and
Philippine resolutions, discussing
which local paper says:

Naturally the absorbing topic here
now is the approaching Inauguration.
Preparations for it are proceeding on
a scale that presages splendid and
imposing spectacle. This is the one
'show" in this city that is given and
paid for by the people of Washington
and not by a government appropria-
tion. The money to defray the neces-
sarily large expense is raised by pop
ular subscription and the spectacular
part OF the program is under the di-
rection of a local committee. The
parade, which will fill Pennsylvania
avenue with glitter of steel and a
glory of flags and a splendor of
marching men for many hours, will
partake more largely than ever before
of military character-as BELTS a
Nation which is just entering upon an
imperial career" although hasten
to assure our Democratic friends that
William Mckinley will simply take
the oath of Office and not the crown of
gold. Real Generals will command
the columns, and real soldiers will
walk in them. The crews from seven
war ships, now coming to anchor off
Alexandria, will be in the line, so
that the people may have a chance to
see and cheer the man behind the gun.
1t will be great spectacle, worth
coming to Washington from any part
of the country to see.

Lansing. Mich, Jan. Ex-senator
Helme, the only democratic member
of the upper house of the legislature,
recently paid a mysterious visit to ex
Gov. Pingree in Detroit. This fact
probably explains his action of Mon
day night in introducing in the senate
the Oren bin to tax railroads and
union railroad and depot companies

pass at the last special session in 1900.
Senator Murfin, of Detroit, intro
duced bin Ito authorize any railroad
company to sell, lease or convey it's
property or franchises to any other
railroad company. Senator Murfin
says his bill is merely to correct the
title of the present act on the subject.

introduced
Senator Pierson introduced a bill to

Senator Loomis introduced a bill ap-

was the introduction of six bills.

HIS AMERICAN TRAINING
Gets a Newspaper Man Into Trouble
in England.

London, Jan. 30.-Some curious evi-
dence was presented Tuesday during
the trial of a suit for libel brought by
r. X Turnbull, an American newspa-
per man, against b. A. Hawksley,
counsel for the British Chartered
South African Co. The latter accused
Turnbull, while employed by the Daily
Mail, of having instigated a confiden-
tial clerk named Wallis, to abstract
confidential letters referring to the
Jameson rail from Hawksley's office.
These are the letters which were pub
lished some time back by the Indepen.
dence Beige.
Turnbull denied the assertion. He
declared he had not bribed Wallis, but
only gave him newspaper rewards for
information. What he had done was
in behalf of the Daily Mail and with
the full approval of Mr.. Harmsworth.
The money was not paid to Wallis for
stealing documents, but for copying
them.
During the testimony Turnbull said
he was approached by Messrs. Mas
singham, Stead and Labouchere In
connection with the letters. He told
Mr. Stead the documents could be pur-
chased for $1,000. The letters final
ly, through Wallis, reached the hands
OF Gavin Brown Clark, the former rad
ical member of parliament for Cath
ness, and former consul general Of the
Transvaal in London. and appeared in
the independence Beige and Daily
Chronicle.
Under cross-examinatlon, Turnbull
admitted he had been dismissed by
Mr.. Harmsworth, but through the In
strumentality of Mr.. Hawksley, Mr..
Harmsworth gave him another trial,
announcing this intention in a letter
10 Mr. Hawksley, in which he said:
Seeing that Turnbull has expressed
regret and as his serious offense was
really due to his American training,
will give him another trial"
After further similar evidence, the
jury stopped the case and a verdict
was entered for Mr.. Hawksley.

THE SHIPPING BILL.
Senator Frye Says He Will Keep u
to the Front.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Senator Frye
gave notice in the senate Tuesday
that he intended to keep the shipping
bill to the front, even as against ap-
preparation bills, not yielding to them
without a vote of the senate. II indi-
Gates a disposition on the part of
senate leaders TO force to an early is
sue the question whether the shipping
bill is going to pass at this session.
Senator Turner, of Washington,
spoke in severe arraignment of the
bill, declaring il to be a "lawless, pi-
ratical raid upon the public treasury"
in the interest of a few private bene-
ficiaries, and committing the govern
ment to expenditures aggregatin5
$270 100000.
Before tie session closed the com
mittee amendments were informally
agreed to. The Indian appropriation
bill was passed early in the day.
After a brief executive session the
senate, at $3.50 p. m, adjourned.
The house spent the day upon the
agricultural appropriation bill. 1t was
used as a vehicle for the introduction
of several general speeches. Mr..
Turner OF Massachusetts, discussed
the ship subsidy bill; Mr.. White, Of
North Carolina, the colored member
who goes out of congress March A, de-
livered his valedictory upon the gen.
eral subject of the aspirations of his
race, and Mr.. Gaines, of Tennessee,
discussed the limitations of the consti-
tuition in connection with our insular
possessions.
Mr.. Corliss, of Michigan, made a
vicious onslaught upon the bureau Of
animal industry of the agricultural de-
partment, but his attack raised a host
of defenders and his amendment to re-
duce the appropriation for the bureau
was overwhelmingly defeated.
All that portion of the bill relating
to the reorganization of the scientific
bureaus of the agricultural depart
ment went out on a point of order
raised by Mr.. Mahon, of Pennsylvania.
The earlier portion of the session
was enlivened by a sequel to the ex-
change between Mr.. Flynn 60. T0 and
Mr. Stephens (Tex.) Monday when
the lie was almost passed. Mr..
Stephens again denied and Mr.. Flynn
again reiterated his charges in connec-
ton with the passage Of the bill to
ratify the Kiowa and Comanche agree
ment passed at the last session.
At 5:45 D. m. the house adjourned.
