Washington. February S-—(Special.)—The

If the harmony harpers had any Idoa
that Governor Bushnell'* graceful act In

h e . »p;~..alar.es.l of iiatana has resulted
m ir«t::.c the friends of Governor Bush
t ci; madder than they have been at any
tins® sinew this fight opened up. A prom
inent member of tho Ohio general assem
-. who is rwogntxed as on* of Senator
raker's closest friend* and alites, gave
tn* the Inside on the situation from his
standpoint tonight.
"The effort of McKinley and Hanna to
force Governor Bushnell to appoint Hanna

crowd In Ohio politic* madder th.wi they
have been since John Sherman succeeded
In downing Foraker through tho'manipula
tion* of McKinley, then tn the governor'*
chair, ami Hanna has always been his
r'ght-hand man.
"Hanna is not as big a man in the actual
politic* of Ohio as ho has been out of It,
and there ts nothing tn the world In hl*
record to warrant hi* appointment to the
aerate. However, he might have hid the

v-«»uM >naNe I.lm tn have th- Hon's share
r» the appointm nls In oth-r tarts of th*
State. In return for this Foraker wa« to
- • it RuabneU would appoint Hanna.
But St rk Hanna has l-o-n doing trading
ever since h- and Bill M« Kinley were
krow-klng aro tnd together ns boys In knkk
♦rbo.-k. rs In those days Mark soon owned
all th* marble*, tops and slingshots in H*e
community and when the youthful Mc-
Kinley desired to disport him.— If he had to
go and U.rmw front Hanna. Mark has
been keeping it up ever slm-e —this trading.

that ho would give them an answer later
and th*-n. believing that he knew a trb X
worth two of that. Went right to George
< ox. who. whatever they may say. Is un
■ioubttdly the chief prop of Forak'-risnt.
Hanna »how>-d hU hand to Cox. told him
that th* Cincinnati patronage would be
abeclutety bls. and the bait proved too
tempting to be refused. Tie- result is a
part of Ohio political history. Cox not |
only came out himself for Hanna, but lie
Induced others to do ao and the atampedo
whs started.
Trouble* Have Just Bcgfun.
"Bushnell couldn't stand the. pressure.”
continued my informant. •'Deeply as be
regretted the ncevssKy lor It. he was still
wise enough to *ec that the only thing for
hint to do In view of all circumstance* was
to appoint Hanna.”
But the troubles out there, instead of be
ing at tin end. have just ingutt.
"What are you going to do about It?” I
ask<-d my soru and bleeding legislative
friend.
"Oh.” said he, evading the question. "I
am not going to do anything. 1 am not
taking any part In It. But I can toil you
what tha other boys are going to do.
They are going to lie low and watt for a
chance to get good and even. Hut you Just
wait until Hanna commence* to deliver
the good* out In (thio. at>d then you will
see 1 tn. If ho cout I dump the entire pat
rvnags of the Unlt»-d States out there, he
coubiu't legin to pay the obbstatioin* he has
Incurred in this tight. The result Is. of

happy lie will tn.iko twenty of them nntd.
Atiu by the time the election for toe next
leg si-.ture roils urou; d you will Ibid the
anti administration seiitltni-nt in Ob.u
stronger than over.”
"But what about Cox? Won't lie contin
ue to train With Hanna
Where Cox's Heart Is.
"You cuu never tell about that Cincin
nati gang. In such a tignt as the on® 1
talklt.g about there would enter another
element to which Cox Is Closer than to
Hanna, or Foraker, or both of them com
bined. The element Is found In the person
of John It McLean. Cox and McLean have
been close political allies. In all th® local
lights down there they have held up each
ofher*■ hands, arid there has been the
closest understanding between them. To
have John Mcl*ean in tho senate would
mean much more to Cox than it would to
Foraker. There Is realy much more in
i common between McLean and Cox than be
tween Foraker and Cox; and though Cox
can boos gn at value to Foraker. Mcl*ean
and his Enquirer can be of Infinitely more
value to Cox. Os course Cox would nomi
nally continue to pull with Hanna. Hut you
would see democratic members of tho leg
islature frvtn every district which Cox con
trols that could possibly furnish an ex
cuse for going democratic. That would t»®
the situation In Cincinnati. Throughout
the state th® situation would be the same
In spots, so far an results are concerned.
Tinre are thousands and tens of thou
sands of republican workers who would
rather see a democrat In the senate than
to see Mark Hanna there, and. you know,
the average Ohio pol’tlclan Isn't afflicted
with party fealty to any great extent—nor
with n conscience.”
There has been a lot of politico’ talk In
Wwslllr.glon this week rem® of It growing
out of th* visit here of W'lUlatn J. Bryan.
Tl.e republican papers have made a great
<l«il of that visit ar.d Its supposed pur
pose*. They have scon, or pretended to
see. In the dinner given by John R. Mc-
Ican an effort to benefit the Ohio man
in the scnntorlaJ e*plr»tlons which he Is
known to have, and they have been en
deavoring to make a national issue of
that.
As the story goes the Brynn dinner was
given largely. If not ent’reiy, for tho pur
»■ -o of showing the people out in Ohio
that tl.e allvi-r leaders are all friendly to
Mel*ean and that Hrynn and all the others
would Ilk* to se» him elected to the sen
ate. They went so for as to desl.iro that
Mr. Bryan ha>l been asked to go to Ohio
and m*k* speeitite* In favor of the demo
erotic ticket.
All this seemed very plausible, *■ th*
abla correnpondents dish it up. but. of
course. 1t ts it ry much .• kin to w!mt might

ALABAMA CLAIMS DISCUSSED

London, t ebruuiy 2'!. In the house of
commons today Mr. Thomas G. Bowles,
conservative member for Lynn regts, asked
whether it was true that tiie sum of $8,000,-
Ouo of the Alabama claims award still re
mained In the hands of the government of
the United States and what prospect there
was tliat any part of it would b® repaid to
Great Britain after the ciaims for compen
sation had been satisfied.
Right Hon. George N. Curzon, under
foreign secretary, said it was his belief
from accounts published in the United
States that a certain portion of the award
still remained with the American govern
ment. it -would be contrary to the under
takelngs of Great Britain in the treaty of
M"ashington made in 1871 to request the re
turn of any sum left over after the claims
against tiie award had belli satisfied.
Mr. Bowles—ls tin re any prospect of the
United States government offering to repay
any surplus?

MARK HANNA IS DELIGHTED.
Has Made His Last Visit to Canton
Before the Inauguration.
Canton, (>., Februarj 23.—Many cnliers
I came to Canton today to see the president-
I elect, but only one or two with whom he
I Iliad un appointment saw him.
Th® doctor still Insists that Major Mc-
Kinley must not see visitor* and those who
came without having been sent for are I
wasting time and money.
i Chairman AL A. Hanna, of the national
republican committee, chatted genially this
evening with tho representatives of tiie
Southern Associated Press.
‘‘Tht« is my last visit to Canton before
til® inauguration of Major McKinley.”
said Mr. Hanna. "I expect to leave for
Washington Friday afternoon. T find my
self in a very agreeable situation and one
which two months ago I never dreamed of.
My understanding Is that Mr. Foraker will
be tiie senior senator from Ohio."
“What do you expect to make your chief
work in Washington?” was asked.
“As chnJrman <>f the national committee,
I will have a great many political matters
to look after. In congress, as I am a bus
iness man. I expect to devote a good deal
of time to the consideration of the tariff
question. I think that 1 am pretty well
in touch with the commercial and business
interests of tiie country and I think 1 know
what these interests want und have a right
to expect. All business men and all per
sons interested in the return of the pros
perity agree. I take it. that we must have
a revenue law that will produce enough
revenue to pay the current expenses of the
government. I want to see such a law
constructed on protective tariff lines passed
at the earliest possible moment und I think
a great majority of the members of con
gress are of the same mind."
Referring to tho Keutu< ky situation, Mr.
Hanna said:
“Governor Bradley, who earn* to see me
u day or two ago. told me t... t he would
appoint a senator as soon tn* the vacancy
o*curred. He will also call a special ses
sion of the legislature.”
Speaking of the effect of Governor Bush
nell’s determination to appoint him to the
senate to succeed John Sherman, Mr. Huu
taa said:
“The so-called Ohio situation is now
perfectly clear. Peace reigns. The party
is strongly consolidated and in splendid
condition to go into the campaign next
fall. There Is no reason why a condition
of harmony and good feeling should not
prevail for years among the Ohio republi
cans und I firmly believe such will be the
case."

CADETS WILL NOT TAKE PART
Secretary Lamont Writes a Letter to
Chairman. Hull.
Washington, February 22. —Secretary La
mont has written a letter to Chairman
Hull, of the house military committee, re
garding the resolution to bring the West
Point cadets to Washington for tho inau
guration, He says that since 1870 the cadets
have been absent from the academy on
four occasions—at President Grant’s inau
guration In 1873; at the Philadelphia cen
tennial in 1876; at the Columbian parade In
New York city in 1891, und at the Chicago
world's fair In 1892.
After mentioning that It was the purpose
ot the department to order the cadets to
participate in th* coming Inaugural cere
monies. and that comptroller of the treas
ury had held that the expense could not
b® paid from army appropriations, as It
was done In 1873. and the senate having In
dicated its disapproval of the proposed
visit, the intention had to be abandoned.
Tho secretary continued:
“My views as to tho propriety and expe
diency of requiring the participation of the
corps of cadets in the Inaugural parade re
mains the same as when orders for their
coming were sanctioned. The loss of time,
absence from study and recitations and
other military exercises will be limited to
four day*—certain not a serious loss In a
four years term. Their absence will of course
b® attended with the chance of injury to
health in Individual cases, but the depart
ment did not feel that these objections
should control."
In conclusion the secretary submits a
recommendation from Colonel Ernst, super
tendent of tho academy, that cadets be left
undisturbed.
