NOT FOR Mr.. coBURE.
Statement from the White House
That the Present Secretary OF
Agriculture VIII Remain

Washington, Dec. 2s.-The most
positive denials are given Of the story
that F. D. COburn, secretary of the
state board Of agriculture Of Kansas,
is to succeed Secretary Wilson When
the fact that Gov Shaw had accepted
the tender of the treasury portfolio
was made public the announcement
was made that Secretary Wilson
would remain IN the cabinet and the
same statement was reiterated at the
white house In the most emphatic
manner. The president is anxious
that Secretary Wilson should remain
and the secretary himself has in
formed the president that he viii be
glad to do so.

RELIGIOUS RIOTS
UousoIIdation OF Free AID United Churches
Of Scotland Does Not Please n Large
Number Of People.

London, Dec. 51.-Ths island Of
Lewis has been the scene Of serious
religious riots arising from the union
Of the Free and the United churches
Of Scotland. The islanders refused to
cOuntenance the alliance, and when
the minister at Ness Joined the United
church they locked him out OF the
church. A strong force Of police was
sent over from the mainland to open
the doors, whereuPOn the islanders
congregated and throwing vOneyE Of
stones at the cOnstables drove them
inside the building and bOmbarded
them with rocks until they capftE-
lated and agreed to leave the island.
Every member Of the police detach-
ment was more or less seriously
wounded. It is probable that q de-
tachment Of troops win be sent to
subdue the rioters.

FAca0HS IN BATTLE ARRAY.
Either Foraker or Hanna VIII Con-
troll Ohio Republican Politics.
Prediction That Foraker's Triumph
VIII Eliminate Hanna from Sen
atorIaI Race Two Years Hence
"A Caucus VIII Decide 1t.

Columbus, O., Dec. 34.-The Ohio
legislature which elects the successor
Of Senator Foraker commences here
next Monday. The party caucuses
to nominate candidates for presiding
officers and other positions in both
branches of the general assembly
win be held next Saturday night. As
the republicans have large majority
IN both houses and as there is no Op-
position to the reelection of Foraker,
the senatorial question for this ses-
sion is settled, but there is a very
bitter contest in progress bearing on
the reelection Of Senator Hanna two
years hence.
Senator Foraker is at his home at
Cincinnati and Senator Hanna re-
mains in Washington. Neither is ex-
pected here this week, but both are
In constant communication with the
leaders Of their respective forces
John S. AIalloy, secretary Of the state
committee and oil inspector under
Gov. Nash, is manager of the Hanna
forces and ex-State Chairman Charles
II. Kurtz, who was private secretary
to Foraker as governor and who
headed the fusion in the legislature
against Hanna four years ago, is man
ager of the anti-Hanna forces. 1t is
claimed by the Hanna men that the
present contest is 1.-The same old fac
tional fight Of 1s97-9s over again.
The Foraker men claim they are sim
ply exercising their right to support
their friends. Both factions have
tickets for the caucus nominations
and they are called the Hanna and
the Foraker tickets as openly as the
designation of the democratic and
republican tickets in campaigns.
