Clevelatel, Nov. 1.•;. --Next week Nene:lei Chairman Hanna will go to Washington to make his 'arrangements for th4 ,cere- monies In connection with the inaugura- tion of President-elect McKinley. It is his intention to melte the occasion. so far as numbers are concerned, one of the greatest events of the kind that have ever taken place. The attendance from Gino %Lion° will be nearly double that of dry previous inauguration. Colonel Fred Grant went to Canton to- day for the purpose, he :stated, of paying his respects to the president-elect. In an interview Coionel Grant said he was aware that his name had been mentioned as possible secretary of war. \I don't deny that I would like to be tendered the place,\ he said. 4Santon, Ohio, Nov. 23. — Colonel Fred D. Grant is a guest at the Mc- Kinley home this afternoon, having come here from Cleveland, where he spent Sunday with National Chairman Hanna and other friends. Ile has been in St. Louis attending the reunion of the Army of the Tennessee, and merely stopped over in Cleveland and Canton on his way home. He Is a personal friend of the Mc- lindeys and has visited them here on tete eral occasions. WILL THERE BE EXTRA SESSION! It Is Said to Be Favored by Preei- dent-Elect McKinley. New York, Nov. 23.—The Mail and Ex- press today says there is going to les CO extra session of congress cailed within ai days after the inauguration of President- elect McKinley. This information comes from Canton today in a positive, dircet way, and Its reliability can not be Tees- tioned. It is the opinion of the president- elect that no revenue legislation can be accomplished this winter, and though the newspaper di.spatt hes disagree regarding his attitude toward the present agitation for the hrele s trill, there is sobstaatial authority for the statement that McKin- ley is averse to raising expectations to Its enactment, which, in his judgment, can not be realized. He fears the business community would become demoralized should the bid be passed by Cie noose again, only to be laid aside by the zenete, and does not share Senator Shermeres opinion that the measure can pass the senate before the reorganization of that body March 4. HeNNt IS TO HAVE A HIGH OFFICE. It es ill Be Senator From Ohio or secretary of the Treasury. Cleveland, Nov. 23.—A close friend of Chairman Hanna today explained under what circumstances Mr. Hanna would accept a place in the cabinet. \Mr. Hanna,\ he said, \will either go into the cabinet or he will be the next republican United Stater; senator from Ohio. Mr. Hanna's course must be decid- ed by Senator John Sherman. Both the chairman and Mr. McKinley think that. and they are waiting to learn what posi- tion Mr. Sherman will take. Mr. McKin- ley wants Hanna to accept the treasury portfolio, but Mr. Hanna has other aspir- ations. He believes it would be a greater henor to be senator from Ohio. But Sen- ator Sherman stands in the way of that. Mr. McKinley will offer Senator Sher- man the position of secretary of state, and if he declines to go into the cabinet, then Mr. Hanna will accept the position of secretary of the treasury. Should Mr. Sherman decide, however, to become one of President McKinley's advisors, thus vacating his seat in the senate, Mr. Hate na will become his successor. Mr. Mc- Kinley will not decide on his course until he learns exactly what position Senator Sherman will take.\ This same friend of Mr. Hanna said that it had practically been decided that Congressman Boutelle of Maine would be secretary of the navy. Despite the fact that both General Miles and Colonel Fred Grant held a conference with Mr. McKinley, neither of them, says this gentleman, will get the portfolio of war. As Military Escort. Cleveland, Nov. 23.—It is officially an- nounced that Troop A, Ohio National Guard, of this city, will act as the mili- tary escort of President -Elect McKinley at the inauguration ceremonies in Wash- ington. ' VlEVS OF Mt,JOlt el - le I N LEI . Thought to Be Outlined i n State- ment by (.or. Gromiyenor. Cincinnati, Nov. 23.—The Comerclai Tribune will print tomorrow a long ar- ticle signed by General Grosvenor, con- gressman (torn the Eleventh Ohio dis- trict. in which he outlines his view as to the policy of the republican party. He says, In the outset, he expresses his own views and does not undertake to connect or represent any other member of the party than himself. Furthermore, he does not even consent to bind himself to these views, shoule the majority of his republican associates on the ways and moans committee dissent from them. He eays: 'The question of the hour, It seems to me, 80 far as relates to economic leg- islation, is, 'Ought the Fifty-fourth con- gress in its closing session pass the Ding- nty bill, or should that measure be al- lowed to perish and the republican par- ty move forward to the discharge of the high duty Imposed upon it by the recent election?' \ On these questions, General Grosvenor takes the position that although It might be well if the Dingley bill could be passed PLACATE THE VVEST g end i v e , 0 1 e u t r u s satIlcoreug:sredi les th s a ca t ftfe ar ti ty un \c o ' in CUT THEIR THE BAY STATE Wilt: MEN ADMIT TIlE EltitoliS Ole THE EAST. fur temporary relief, and he followed 12n- 11:11i.Ait•P40; Men of NewilEtagland Culled mediately after the 4th of March in an t poll to HO Sostralsing to lte- extra session of congress, by the passage, store Confidence. of a proper permanent measure, yet the passage of that tentative bill will obstruct the passage of a.propermeasure,and there- fore it should not be attempted.

On the other hand, let the Dingley law be passed, founded as it is on errors that are organic and incura- ble. Then let it run until December I. 189i, and let congress organize, appoint committees, encounter the delay of the holidays, attack a mass of incidental leg- islation, and set about enacting a permit - President Westeottof Lowell opened the proceedings by readng a letter from Mc- Kinley and then introduced Mr. Wolgost.

Senator Hoar, wro followed, said the democratic party lad been saved from itself by republican efforts. \The busi- ness men of New England,' he setd, \must study the cause of what has been going on and do something that will cure the disease which has spread.

It has been suggest - el that the new congressional library ea used for the ball this year, but Librarian Spofford enteted a hrotest. His proteat is being seconded by a number of pastors of Washington congregations who desire a free public reception instead. prosperity may nut again be clouded from Mr. Alger closed his remark by paying a tribute to President Cleveland and for the first time in Boston by a republican bode, three cheers were given for that General Howard. General G. 0. Howard said: \By lie election of Major McKinley you bay - gamed an executive to our sa.tiefactiie and we will have an auministratien your liking. It was victory for sound money against the forces of state sov- ereignty and a victory for executive au- thority and for our ever -reliable, ever - glorious supremacy. The grand result of the campaign has set in rnojon business confidence, public and private enterprises, besides all the seeming good fellowship and loving kindness among the whole people.\ General Howard cautioned his hearers against putting too much confidence in the democratic allies.

He added: \Once again the injunction thunders in our ears that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.\ Corporal Tanner urged that there must be \no vacation in the campaign of edu- cation and asserted that an examination of the election returns shows that hand - in -hand with the greatest ratio of illiter- acy went the great ratio of Bryan sup- port. He maintained that this was an argument that \should bring us many de- grees near the point where the fundamen- tal law of the land shall declare that the individual who can not read a ballot should have no power to cast one.'' \When that time comes,\ he said, \the point will be forever passed when rhetor- ic and rabbit feet will be potent factors with the American sovereigns in a presi- dential.''

Washington, Nov. 24.—The state depart - meet in.s received absolutely no informa- tion from Havana or elsewhere concern- ing the reeert that Competitor prisoners have been tried by a secret summary court. From further inquiries it is ap- paieet that the Spanish authorities ere nie king an investigation of the Competi- tor case similar to that provided for un- der our grand jury system. Consuls ef grain in this country are investigating claims to American citizenship of the persons arrested. From Spanish sources it is learned that there is no intention of dealieg with the Competitor prisonerS In a harsh manner. Consul -General Lee Talks. Washington, Nov. 24.—Consul General Lee was at the state department again today. When asked as to the repos t that the Competitor prisoners had been tried at Moro castle, contrary to a protest made by him befcre he left Havana. Lee said: do not believe any trial has occurred. If it had the facts would be speedily re- f oriel acre by Vice Consul Springer. There have been some preliminary steps toward the trial and the depositions of the prisoners were taken, but further than this nothing has been done that I know of.\ When General Lee was asked as to the protest referred to as having been made by him, he said it probably referred to the report made by him before the first trial of the Competitor prisoners and re - nee ed in the present instance, that the men being taken on an American ship were entitled to a civil trial, rather than a trial by court-martial as provided in the treaty and protocol between the Unit- ed States and Spain. I Tee consul general referred to an open letter from a Fredericksburg, Va.. editor to President Cleveland, which was pub- lished today, urging the president to act on Cuba. Coming from a fellow towns- man and a close friend of General Lee, some significance might. attach to it, but Lee said he desired to have it understood that he knew nothing about that letter and had nothing to do with it.
