A local paper Mark Ilnnna will announce himself as a candidate for United States senator. Ho made this admission this afternoon to ex- Congressman H , Li. Morey , v\ho came to Cleveland as the- accredited representative of Governor Torakcr. " 1 will announce my candidacy , " said the national chairman , "and I bellovo I am capable v/f making the fight alone. Wo bellovo that we are entitled to tbo place. " Colonel Morey , who arrived in the city early tl.ls morning , was closeted with Mr. Hanna for some time. Wlicn Mr. Morey left ho was questioned and said : " 1 believe that Mr. Hanna. will announce hlmsolt as a can didate to succeed Senator Sherman In the United Statcn senate , and 1 believe that Gov ernor Hushticll will appoint him to that posi tion. Governor Dushncll will , I feel conn- dent , dislike to do this very much , for I bellevo ho would himself like to be the suc cessor of Senator Sherman , but , nevertheless , I bcllevo ho will do It. THwo will be no deal , whatever ma > be the outcome of Mr. Hanna a candidacy , I am sure chat thcic has nut been and will not 1 > ? any deal with Poraker and Hnshnell. Mr Hanna'a candidacy will bo open and above board and I believe that he will win tolcly bccauto Foraker will baw to the- very evident sentiment of the pscplc of this state and the Uniicd States. " "Mr. Morey , are you alllllatcd with cither faction ? " "No , I am not ; I am a good friend of both Mr. roraker and Mr. Hanna. " When Mr. Hanna's attention was called 10 the statement made by Mr. Morey ho flatly refused to discuss the matter. NEW YOUK , Jan. 16 Governor Ilushnell of Ohio , who Is In the city todaj , was askud by a Mall and Express reporter regarding the succcslon to the seat In the United States Bcnato now held by Mr. Sherman "I have- really had no time to think ot that ques tion , " the- governor said. "Until this marn- ing I had no positive assurance that the senator would go Into the cabinet , although I thought he might accept the offer of the president-elect , and I am therefore unable to express an opinion. " "The selection of Senator Sherman gives mo personally the greatest gratification , " added the govci'nor , "hla selection will please cvorjbody In Ohio , except those people who ore never satisfied with anything. Wo don't care about there perrons. You know there are no longer any factions In Ohio , EO there cannot be any strife. " Here the governor smiled serenely. "You have bcon named as a possible suc cessor to Senator Sherman , " the reporter imggcstcd. "Yes ; 1 have seen some reference to that , but If I name the successor , as gover nor , I could not name m > self , and If there Is a special session ot the legislature that V body will , I suppose , do as It pleases. " pi The governor said he could not say as to how Mr. Hanna or any other man would bo regarded by the legislature as a candidate for the eenate. "You know , " he added , "Senator Sherman's term expires March 4 , 1S99 , so that the man who Is chosen now will not have a long time to serve. " A prominent member of the governor's start cald : "I think It Is practically certain that the governor will not assume the re sponsibility of naming Senator Sherman's successor hlmrclf. There are many reasons why ho would prefer to call the legislature together and let that hotly settle the ques tion. The situation In Ohio , dcsptto all the talk about harmony , Is very delicate , and as the transfer ot Sherman to the cabinet means a general readjustment of things , a goexl deal of caution la necessary In making the first move. " It Is understood among Senator Sherman's friends In the senate to be lil Intention to remain in the senate until ho enters the cabinet. CANTON , Jan. 1C. This was another busy day for President-elect McKlnlcy. Pennsyl- vanla's two senators , Messrs.

This aft ernoon a largo delegation from Texas and the southwest , asking for recognition of State Chairman John Grant of Texas , was heard. "Only President McKlnloy Knows. " This was the reply Senator Quay made when the Associated press representative met him at the carriage on the way to his train and abkcd whether ho thought Hon. Charlcu Emory Smith , former minister to Russia and editor of the Philadelphia Press , would bo Invited to accept the treasury portfolio. Senators - , ators Quay and Pcnroso left Canton for the ' cast at 2 o'clock. Senator Quay expects to start for Florida next Thursday.

CLEVELAND , Jan 1C Senators Frye and Hale , who were responsible for the senate substitute for house bill No. 2.C63 , which re stores Hogging In the merchant marine , have been severely condemned by the 300,000 members of the Western Seamen's society and various soclcelcs. At a meeting of the local trustees of the organization , who arc prominent business men , the following reso lutions were unanimously adopted * "Resolved. That the W S. F. S. with Its numerous branches along the lakes from lluf- falo to Duluth and on the rivers from Pitts- burg to Now Orleann , Including 300,000 sail ors and rlvermen , protest ngalnst the senate substitute ! for house bill No 2.6G3 , which restores Hoggins In our merchant marine , changing entirely the nature of the bill now before congress , which uns Intended to ollo- vlato some of the worst features of poor Jack's llfn. "Resolved , That wo tro astonished that such men as Senators Tryo and Halo should bo the authors of so barbarous a clause "Resolved , That our general superintendent correspond with the American Seamen's Prlend society and other Independent sea men's societies throughout the country , urg- Ini ; them to call mass meetings and protest against this bill. " The ievolutions then Indores the Pllrnsoll act , which. It Is said , has worked so satis factorily to the Drltlsh sailor and shipowner. as a substitute. A copy of the resolutions will bo forwarded to Speaker Reed and C6n- gressman Darton. WASHINGTON , Jan. 1C. Senator Tryc , cra'rman ' of the coimilt oo on commerce , who drew the provision of the substitute for the house bill , No. 2Gin , which has passed the senate , says that the provision of the bill cannot be construed to authorize the restora tion of flogging on the high seas The pro visions of the bill as It passed the fccnate are as follows : "Every master or other officer of an Amer ican vessel on the high seas or any other waters within the admlialty and inarithi.e jurisdiction of the United States who , with out justification , beats or wounds or Impris ons the members of the crews of vessels or withholds from them suitable food and nour ishment or Inflicts upon them nny cruel and unusual punishment shall bo punished by a flno of not more than $1,000 or by imprison ment for not more than five years or both " The provision In the houro bill was at follows' "Every master or officer of any American vessel on the high seao or any other water. * within the admiralty and maritime jurisdic tion of the United States who willfully beats wounds or without justifiable causes Impris ons any of the crew of such vessel , or with holds , " etc. Senator Frye savs that the houte bill would allow any sailor to attack the master or other officer , and that ho vvoald not be allowed to defend himself or his vessel. The sailors , through attorneys , have Insisted the senate bill would restore flogging , but Sen ator Fryo says that It c..nnot be construed In any such manner. The substitute wus reported from the committee on commeice December 21 last and passed the senate Jan uary 27. _ _ South Omaha News. -SPi The dispatches from Washington printed In The Dee of yesterday regarding the South Omaha postofllco slto caused considerable talkon the streets last evening. It was declared by some that the deal was off , and that the government would not locate a pub lic building at the corner of Twenty-fourth and M streets. Ono thing which govo cred ence to the rumor that the deal was off was the listing yesterday of the Geary property v , Ith a firm of real estate agents. Mr. Geary said last night that ho had not heard any thing dliect from Washington in relation to the matter , but supposed that the trouble between L. D. Fowler and the German Sav ings bank would bo adjusted shortly to the satisfaction of all concerned. As for listing his property , Mr. Geary said that If a purchaser came along with the cash and was willing to pay the price he asked , the corner would bo sold regardless of the government's acceptance of the prop erty. During the past year , while waiting for the government to take some action , rents amounting to $1,000 had been lost , Mr. Geary asserted , and ho was rather tired of the seemingly useless delay. As far as a settlement Is concerned , Mr. Geary said that it looked now to bo as far away as It was a year ago. Daniel Hannon , who owns the north ten feet of the site , was seen last night , but he knew nothing about the matter , and had not heard anything In regard to the deal being off. The gene-rat Impression seemed to bo that the trouble over the title to the Fowler ler portion of the property would bo arranged to the satisfaction of the treasury officials before long , and that the postolllco would eventually bo erected at the northwest corner of Twenty-fourth and M streets. To ICrri > Out Oiniilui Acting under Instructions from the city council City Attorney Montgomery hns pre pared a now ordinance to govern solicitors and runners. The new ordinance makes It unlawful for any porion to cngaro In thn business of runner or solicitor without first taking out a license , which Is to cost $ Jo u year. Failure to procure such license Is termed a misdemeanor , and is punishable by u flno of not more than ? M ) , Including coslH , or Imprisonment. The ordinance makes U unlawful for any runner or solicitor to canvatB or solicit busl- IICBH or patronage at any place except ell- rectly In front of the store for which license has been Issued. In this way It Is expected to prevent Omaha Hollcltom from coming down hero and visiting the exchange , where ) good paying customers are frequently plckfd up. It will also prevent hqmo merchants from tending runners to the cxclfmise. The police will he charged with the fmorromcnt of this ordinance. If It pnnseR , and It In ex pected that they ran thus prevent outside so- llollnrn fremi doing business li/'re / , An ordinance has Alto been tfrnwn regu lating the speed of railway ( trains within the city limits. Under this now ordinance no train wilt bo allowed tn run at a greater rate of speed than ten miles ( in .hour whrn passing Ihiough the city. A llm-nof $100 for every violation Is the penalty. Another ordinance prohibiting the riding of blcyclcu along , on or overiiuiyi sidewalk has been prepared and will , hcj introduced Monday night. Violators of thta ordinance will have to pay a fine not to * exceed $25 Into police court If they are'caught. One r.lcctrlc l.lulit tii lie Moxcil. In looking over the location of electric street lights and the record In the cane Coun cilman Vansant , chairman of the council committee on lighting , discovered that the city Is paying far the light at Thirty-seventh and L streets , and ho will recommend that this light bo moved to Twenty-fifth and M streets The records show that when this light was placed at the I ) . & M. crossing at Thlrty-hoventh and L streets It was with the understanding that the cost should bo collected from the railway company. There Is no record of nny payments having been made by the company , and for this reason Vansant will recommend Its removal. Ho says tlat ho sees no reason why the city should pay for a light at a railway crossing when It Is the duty of the company to place ono there. The residents In the vicinity of Twenty-fifth and M streets petitioned two years ago for a light , and the request has never been granted. Nov he proposes to do what ho can to have this light at the rall- load crossing way out on the edge of town moved In where It will da some good. Loaded \Vation Coivt ( M or n IliuiU.
