No matter how many t.r'rnii Senator Manna may have made uh i them. It la quit tha clever ihBi rW-nator Foraker will control ihem or make an open break with tha Ad minim ration. The report quite extensively Mrrulated 'hat pending tha senatorial struggle Mr Hanna )11 make promisee that would now xladly absolve, because he would miner have a truce In the Ohio alt tiatlon truin further war. For xw rion the President la also In iimul to peace. It has been hla Intention 11 iloni In appoint Waldorf Collector of Internal Revenue at Toledo.

Thla appoint-ment will exceptionally objectionable to Henator Foraker. and though he might an tsirnnlae the confirmation he wouM hardly iurreed-ln defeating It. In the matter of tha Cincinnati offlcea, hown-rr, he would have strong ground to ro on if the President ahould dlareicard hire. The Benste haa alwaya held that a Senator should lie a strong factor In the aelection of tliuee nominated for office In hla home city. In the matter of the Cincinnati aelectlona the Henator will he re-enforced with the of the two Congressmen, If the President ahould override alt three.

would be the caae. the Senate would be more than apt to override the President If Mr. Hanna ahould Initlet. however, on keenlna hla aenatorlal pledges and name Pamuel Italley aa the United State Tress urer and Lewis Volght aa Appraiser a war would begin which would Intensify the Ohio a hundred fold. It would mean iKilltlciU brigandage which could hardly be patched up In a decade.

The temper of tha Senate la fast rowing to he one of resistance to some of the Preal. lent'a appointee. To-day the Senate Com mittee on Commerce turned down Demaa, nominated on Mark Ilanna'a recommenda tion to be naval officer at New Orleans. More than thla, eight appointment involv ItiK territorial offlcea are held up. In the ad day of an Administration thla la rather a bad showing and displays the tend ency of the Senate to scrutinize with signal care the President' aelection, For such reason It la an opinion, and probably a rood one, that If Mark Hanna gives Koraker battle In the matter of the Clncln natl office Koraker will beat him In the Senate.

To name tha men ascribed a Mr. Ilanna'a selection would be open and pal' pable that the offlcea were used In the na ture of a lever to aid Mr. Hanna to secure the four Independent votes of Hamilton County. Senator Foraker haa not yet determined on the men he will recommend, other than the selection of Mr. Bundy to be United Rtate Attorney.

Between now and the time the offlcea will be vacant by reason of expiration of term he will have determined upon his slate. It la Indeed more than probable his present visit to, Ohio I not foreign to 1U Remarkable) Pension Case, The pension caae of Daniel Oberly, of On rtnnatU la now pending before the Secretary of the Interior on an application for. a re hearing. Oberly was a member of the Kighty-fourth Pennsylvania, and was ahot through the neck at 8pottsylvanla About lsv) he was allowed a pension of $72 month for paralysis, alleged to be due to his wound. Subsequently this pension was taken away on tha ground that It was se cured by fraud.

About four years ago he was reinstated at the rate of 130 a month. but this amount haa been withheld to reim burse the Government for something like K.00O. which It la claimed, waa secured by Oberly through the fraudulent first Issue. Senator Foraker, who haa been investigating the case, falls to see how. If he waa first pensioned through fraud, the Depart ment can Issue him a pension for a smaller amount on the same grounds of disability, Ten Pension Boards have pronounced the Injury to be due to the wound received, to one board that has decided adversely.

Ober ly Is now In a hospital In Cincinnati, and recently, under the Influence of chloroform. was examined by four doctors who have de- tided that hla paralysis la due to the wound and not to. other causes, as has been held ty the Tha Secretary ha overruled the motion to allow the pension of 130 a month to be paid to Oberly, and the claimant haa now filed an application lor a rehearing. A Private Affair. A few days ago Senator Hansbrough In.

traduced a resolution Inquiring of the War Department why certain gun carriages manufactured for the Government by tha NUes Tool Works, at Hamilton, Ohio, had been shipped to Mare Ialand Navy Yard. California, over the Canadian Pacific Rail road instead of over one of the American road. The reply of the Secretary of War e'nt to the Senate to-day shows that It was a matter in which firm making the car. r-age alone waa concerned, and that the Government bad nothing to do with It, the contract calling for the delivery of the mn- Wflal at the navy yard.

It la the absolute truth to say that of all possible aelectlona for the office of Naval Officer, or for any- office within the gift of the President, no more unpopular one could have been made than that of Demaa. Demaa la considered as representing the worst element of the old reconstruction regime.

It haa been generally understood (that the real moving spirit la the selection of this notorious fellow for go fat a Job In the custom house has been Mark Hanna. who baa stood by Demas through thick and thin. The citizens of taulflana felt greatly outraged at tha selection of Demss. for they knew htm to be a man utterly unfit to hold the high ofllce to which he was appointed. His defeat Is looked upoa as a positive triumph to decency in Federal office, and ex-Governor Judge Leonard.

Mr. Howell and others, who worked so strenuously to secure an adverse report from the Senate Committee at Washington, are most happy over the successful termination of their labors. If Demaa had ever been made Naval Officer at this port It Is confident! believed trouble would have resulted. IXE0TJTI7ES Of the Republican Congreeoloaal Com-mlttre Appointed. Wasbimotok.

According to tbe report, which is the sub ject of Rear Admiral Markbam'S observa tions, the Diana was only able to reach the mouth, of Hudson Strait as late the season as June S3.

The only change In the printed form la that tbe word Mr." is changed to "Miss' the word 'him to "her." The bill became a law by passing the Senate thla afternoon. The new law doe not mention the word female or woman.

but simply amends the old statute by striking out th provision limiting the ap pointment to "qualified electors' and In serting the clause "persons over 2X years of age." This leaves the Interpretation to tb Gov ernor, and If any on wants to test his right to commission women to serve In thla ca pacity. It can don by due process of law.

Robertson. of Hamilton County. The principal object of the blH ia to admit to this state foreign casualty ioauraaoe companies without requiring them tn deposit flOO.OOO with the State Treasurer aa seourky for their risks Coder the present tew a deposit of $100,000 la required of all companies transacting this claag 4 rn Ohio, whether or not liieV have a deposit equal' to that amount made with the proper auttiorltles of the states in which they are organised, which mm shaH be set apart and reserved for the sole purpose ot securing trie poucy noraerg. Under the bill introduced to-day rbe com- Denies hawing security deposite to rh amount ot toear owe stare, are nor Teaulred to make any deposits in Ohio. There is an Interesting bit of history connected with the enactment of tb existing raw.

Charles Bqulrea, the well-known Cleveland insurance man, was really the" author of Che measure. He waa engaged aa. an ef fort to organise a large casualty ootnpany In this state some years ago, and when he thought the suconi oi fits plans was in- aural, he secured the oaaaage of the law requiring double deposits from eorrrpanle of tfle same class as tne one ne was ionnin. Hli numn wee to bar out of the state practically all of tbe opposition. While he auoceeded hi dotnar this his efforts to or ganise a ootnpany failed.

Mr. Squires tnere- UDon became associated wiui several tor- eiirn ldlltv and casual tv comDaoles. and, finding himself at a disadvantage of hla own maarnaT. enoeairorea to nave mm isw re- nealed. Mr.
