Correspondence of The Evening Star. CANTON, Ohio, December 10, 1896. Constant attendance at the McKinley house note a steadily increasing number of callers, nine-tenths of whom are after office. The most persistent of these visi- tors are the old constituents of Major Mc- Kinley, who have been coming to him for years to patch up their post office difficul- ties and don’t quite see why it is that now that he is the beginning and the end of the office dispensing business he insists upon THE OFFICIAL ———— WEATHER MAP.

Maryland republicans are very much inter- ested in the selection of President-elect Mc- Kinley’s cabinet, because they feel that the magnificent majority rolled up in this state for the sound money candidates should be recognized by the proffer of a portfolio to a Marylander, and because an aggressive movement is on foot to induce the Presi- dent-elect to appoint Mr. James A.

All that he is known positively to have said on the subject was in reply to some observations of indifferent interest by his pastor, Dr. Manchester: “It would be worth your while to read it, doc- tor," was his comment addressed to the worthy. divine. To a lot of his newpaper friends he read aloud a description of the scenes attendant upon the opening of Con- gress and remarked retrospectively, “I can see it all—how like one Congress an- other is on the opening and ciosing days.” Of Congressman Turner, who was then expected to be the successor of Mr. Crisp on the committee on rules, he said: “You know, I have often referred to Turner as one of the ablest men in the south.” It was remarked that Mr. Cleveland disposed of the Cuban question in such manner that it must be taken up inevitably by the rext administration. “I must expect to have my share of troubles,” was the ready way in which Mr. McKinley laid aside the sub- Ject. Three Confidential Friends. There are three men who possess- the confidence of the President-elect to an un- limited extent and are certain to be weil taken care of when he goes into office. His present private secretary, James Boyle, is understood to be desirous of securing a consulship. His political secretary, some- times referred to by the frivolous as “Old Figgers,” although he 1s not old, Joseph P. Smith, can have almost anything he wants, and is credited with a desire to be made clerk of court somewhere with a good salary and assurances that he can have the job for life. Many people thought that Mr. Smith would be the President's private secretary, but he took some of the news- Paper people aside and told them that he did not care to be private secretary, feeling, as he did, that he hadn't the temperament for such a position. The third of the tri- umvirate who stand close to the major is Capt. H. O. S. Hiestand, who has leave of absence from the 11th Regiment of Infantry and is chairman of the steering committee in the McKinley library. It is thought that Capt. Hiestand will succeed Col. J. M. WI!- son as superintendent of public buildings in Washington. It is a fine, fat place and carries with it the rank of colonel. Platt Would Be Welcome. It can be stated very definitely that if Mr. Thomas C. Platt cares to come to Ohio he will receive a cordial welcome. There is nothing in Mr. Platt’s ante-convention fight thatsleaves any bitterness in Canton and the suggestion that he remains away be- because of any supposed ill-feeling on eith- er side is scouted at. The major is pretty sure to drive to the station in person should Mr. Platt come west. Years ago the New York man lived in Massillon, eight miles from McKinley’s town, and it is said by the oldest inhabitant that after Mr. Plact went east he conceived a violent dislike for everything and everybody that cai it or One. ly at came ou; ——.___ TORPEDO BOAT No. 6, She is Now Being Prepared for Her Speed Trials. Correspondence of The Evening Star. PROVIDENCE, R. I., December 9, 1896. Torpedo boat No. 6, which is being built at Bristol and was launched September 9, is being prepared for her speed trials. The <ngines have been put in position and the boat has been under steam for some time to get her machinery in working order. The-dock trial will probably be made Thursday. Then preliminary runs in the vicinity of Bristol will be made, and a trial in the bay will follow in a short time. This will be over a new course from Sandy Point, on the east side of Prudence, to the Dumplings, off Fort Adams, Newport, a distance of eight miies, and the course will be covereé seven times. The speed re- quired by the contract is twenty-six knots an hour, which is four knots an hour more than the Cushing made on her trial trip, but No. 6 is expected to slightly ex- ceed the speed called for by the contract. The contract for the new torpedo boat wai igned in October, 1895, and it was to be ready in fifteen months. The design is different in details from other torpedo boats, contracts for which were given to other firms at the eame time. The boat could appropriately be called a big Cush- ing, so much does it resemble in outward appearance the latter, which was built by the Herreshoffs also a few years ago. It is, however, nearly thirty-five feet longer than the Cushing. Interest will be centered in the trials of this beat and her companion, No. 7, which is being built by the same firm and is not far behind No. 6 in course of com- pletion, against boats built elsewhere and designed wholly from government plans, for these are of Herreshoff design, and the result will be anxiously awaited. The lat- est British torpedo boats built on the Clyde show a great resemblance to those that are being built at Bristol. As in pleasure craft, the minds of naval constructors the world over are c together, the similarity in battle ships, cruisers‘and torpedo boats being marked. The dimensions 6f No. 6 are 179 feet 8 inches water line, 18 feet beam and a draught of between 6 and 7 feet. The dis- placement of water is upward of 200 to: for normal draught. The plating is of stee! three-sixteenths of an inch thick: The boat is fitted with twin screws forward of the lower end of the rudder. The like steel. steam yachts.

Inventor Brown has stolen a march on the garbage contractor and removed the grate bars of the garbage furnace. This action on the part of the inventor has placed the contractor hors de combat, and it is understood he has concluded not to go into court for the purpose of obtaining control of the crematory. For even were he successful in his fight for the plant he would be unable to operate it, because it would be incomplete. In the meantime the garbage navy moves silently, but very perceptibly, down the placid Potomac. The final resting place of the garbage is still a matter of conjecture. The patent dis- appearing scows, however, are still in use, and the secret valves, they say, are in prime working order. Usually the contractor is very prompt in filing his bills for his pro rata division of the contract price. But now he is in a quandary. He is hesitating about the mat- ter, and up to this time the voucher for November has not been presented to the Commissioners for payment. According to the apportionment, there is due him for November work $2,357.57. In the past when he resorted to the scow system of disposing of the garbage his bills were never questioned, although the contract called for disposal by cremation. The Commissioners’ attention has been called to this matter time and time again, but they never signified any intention of with- holding the moneys due, by reason of the contraetor’s failure to carry out the terms of his contract until this last trouble. Then it was stated in no uncertain terms that they proposed to make a reduction in the price to be paid him. They argued that they were not responsible for the fight be- tween Inventor Brown and the contractor, and that the latter would be held strictly to the terms of his contract. And this is why the contractor has not ventured to put in his bill, it is said. He ts holding off. Perhaps after a little while he will be forgiven, as he has been in the past, and the full amount of his bill paid. In the meantime the work upon the Smith crematory on the observatory site is moving along. It is expected that it will be completed ana working by the first. of the new year. —_ MR. BANGS’ DENIAL. Does Not Intend to Le: diction, Mr. David C. Bangs, through his attor- ney, Mason N. Richardgon, today filed his answer to the charge of Mrs. Clara C. Bangs, that he has refused to allow her to see their little daughter, and that he in- tends removing himself and the child be- yond the court’s jurisdiction. The parties were, on Mrs. Bangs’ peti- tion, divorced several months ago, the father being given the custody of their Uttle girl and the mother the custody of their little boy, the court directing that the parties should be allowed to see the re- spective children twice a week. Mr. Bangs was also ordered to pay Mrs. Bangs $30 @ month alimony. Several days ago Mrs. Bangs complained to Judge Cox that dur- ing the past month she had not been al- lowed tc see her little girl, and also claimed that Mr. Bangs, a Treasury Department clerk, had secured a transfer to Kansas City, where he intended taking the child, and’ where he intended permanently re- siding in order to escape the enforcement of the court’s orders. She therefore asked the court to restrain Mr. Bangs from re- moving the little girl out of the court's jurisdiction. ‘The court granted a restrain- ing order, and also issued a rule against him, requiring him to show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt in re- fusing to allow Mrs. Bangs to see the child. In his answer Mr. Bangs denies that Mrs. Bangs has, with his knowledge or consent, been denied the right to se> the child, ex- plaining that the little one has been sic! with tonsilitis, and upon the doctor's sug- gestion she was not taken to her mother’s house, although Mrs. Bangs was not de- nied the right to see the child at his house. a ngs says that Mrs. Bangs called but once, and declares that she did not even ask to see the child. He says that his transfer to Kansas City 1s but tem- porary, and denies that he intends or ever intended taking the child with him or out of the court's jurisdiction He aiso denies that it is his intention to avoid obeying the court's orders. It is understood that Mr. Bangs’ answer will end the controversy, Mrs. Bangs, it is said, being satisfied with his explanation. ee To Discuss Philosophical Subjects. The Soctety for Philosophical Inquiry, which meets in the Columbian University Hall every Tuesday afternoon, announces an interesting lst of topics proposed for papers and discussion. Following is the program for the meetings during the winter and spring, so far as announced: Decem- Mr. Howard, “Philosophy of Re- e This Juris- of the tution ;” . Ward, “Philosophy of Mod- itations;” April 6, Mr. ern 5 Powell, ‘* jos) of Col nsciousness and Its Limitations by Material Environments;” |. April Mr. Steele, ‘ of that, however actively the Senator-elect may appear to be in his support, he is se- cretly working to prevent his appointment, and should Mr. Gary be overlooked, Mr. Wellingtor will As held responsible by many local republicans. It %s not surprising if Mr. Wellington does not take an enthusiastic interest in the scheme to elevate Mr. Gary to a place in the cabinet. The latter cpposed him in his fight for the senatorship last winter, and Mr. Wellington’s friends, while denying that he is working against Mr. Gary, cal! attention to the fact that he has no partic- ular reason to bestir himself in his behalf. What Sound Money Democrats Cla Sound money democrats in Baltimore hope to induce Maj. McKinley to reappoint Mr. 8. Davies Warfield as postmaster. They base their claims on the substantial ald they rendered the McKinley and Ho- bart ticket at the late election, and call at- tention to the $45,000 campaign fund raised by the local democratic bankers and busi- ness men, and expended in the interests of the sound money cause. Republicans laugh at this claim. They acknowledge the stalwart assistance they received from the gold democracy, but say that a demand for such recognition is pre- posterous. A New Democratic Leader Uurged- County democrats are urging the selec- tion of State Senator Charles C. Crothers of Cecil county as chairman of the demo- cratic state committee and official leader of the democracy in the state. Mr. Croth- ers, they say, would make a shrewd, ca- pable leader, and one who would be accept- able to all factions of the party. Senator Crothers was mentioned as a suitable chair- man iast spring, when the present chair- man, Mr. Hattersley W. Talbott, expressed his desire to retire, but he declined to al- low his name to be used. It is hoped that he will reconsider this determination: and, should he be willing to accept the respon- sibility of leadership, his selection would prove highly gratifying to the party at large. Ex-Gov. Brown’s friends have not given up hope of inducing him to re-enter poli- tics. He remains obdurate, however, and there appears to be little prospect of his changing his mind. In Baltimore City. Democratic city politicians are discussing the feasibility of bringing forward Mr. Hi- ram G. Dudley, clerk of the criminal court, as leader of the party in Baltimore. Mr. Dudley was for years one of Mr. I. Free- man Raisin’s most skillful lieutenants, and is a politician of considerable ability and a business man of high standing in the com- munity. Unlike his colleagues in the old ring, he has never been accused of per- sonal corruption. It is understood that he is not anxious to undertake the task of lead- ing the local democracy out of the wilder- ness, but he is mentioned more frequently in connection with the party leadership in the city than any one else. ————— Robberies Reported. Two bicycles were stolen last night. One was a Fowler wheel, No. 23769, belonging to D. F. Judson, and it was stolen from in front of 131 C street southeast. The other, an Orient, No. 3950, the property of Dr. C. M. Buckley, was st@en from in front of his office, No. 1814 F street. George Clements, who lives at 464 C street, had a caller yesterday, but he was rot at home to greet him. His clothes were there, however, and now he will have to buy a new suit as well as a hat and pair of patent leather shoes, George 8. Ball, who lives at 1241 H street rertheast, reports the loss of a diamond pat pin. He is not certain whether he st it on the street or whether it was stolen from his room. A long black overcoat was stolen from one of the rooms in the Grand Army build- ing on Pennsylvania avenue recently. The ccat belonged to Henry Davis, who lives at No. 1616 Madison street, and he is anxious that the police should recover it for him. E. 8. Alvord, 26th and D streets, and O. W. White, 1114 F street, complain that they were robbed last night. A. lap robe was stolen from each of their buggies. ——__ They Promised.
