CHICAGO, December 19, 1896. President-elect McKinley has caused heart-flutter among the Illinois politicians. The state ranks with New York and Ohio in the complexity of its politics, and the prospective embarrassment of the incom- ing administration. Nobody knows this bet- ter than Major McKinley. Nevertheless, when the pressure of the office-seekers in Canton became intolerable, he chose to come out to Chicago to join Mrs. McKinley in a social visit. He is having a good time and is enjoying himself thoroughly. Loca: pride is aroused that this city should be the first piace since his election to be hon- ored with the presence of the major. Poli- tics sink out of sight in the exultation over New York, especially since Mrs. McKinley is buying her inauguration gowns at the local shops. Original McKinley men, ma- chine republicans, mugwumps and ‘gold democrats are united in making the next President feel at home. Many Guardian Angels. Perhaps the heartiness of his welcome is tinctured a little with greed, because so many guardian angels dispute the priority of right to hover over the major. There are the Marquette Club, the Hamilton Club, the Union League Club, the Commercial Travelers’ McKinley Club, the Business Men’s BcKiniey Ciub, the Cook County McKinley Club and Editor H. H. Kohisaat. ‘The distinctively political organizations did not dissolve immediately following election. They kept their membership rolis for future reference, along with a record of services during the campaign. Thé Marquette Club is the most strongly intrenched in the good graces of Major McKinley.” The banquet it gave him on Lincoln's birthday, last Feb- ruary, was the formal launching of the McKinley movement in the northwest, and it was a very effective event, too. The club formed a rallying ground against the siate machine, which was anti-McKinley. ‘The Hamilton Club was originally for Reed, but one of the honors of its history was its right-about for McKinley. ‘The Union League las never been an active political force, yet the eminently respectable and wealthy citizens whe make up its member- ship like to think that they are heiping along the cause of good government by advising the chief magistrate. Editor Kohisaat has no political ambition for him- seif. His long friendship for Major Mc- Kinley will be sufficiently requited if he can insure the success of the administration by having it follow the policy which he knows is bound to insure success. Oue feature of this policy is to confound the machine poli- uclans by carrying civil service to the ex- tent of keeping Postmaster Hesing and other acceptable democratic officials in office for a second term. The Machine Organtzation. The regular organization, or machine, while msintaining an outward show of in- difference, is just as anxious to be in the wood graccs of the President-elect as are the “amateurs.” Instructions in the na- ture of mil‘tary crders went forth to show Major McKinley every possible considera- tion, and these instructions are obeyed by disciplined troops. Gov.-elect Tanner like- wise passed the word along among his fol- lowing that he -vanted the major made wel- come on the soil of Illinois. National Com- mitteeman Jamieser eting in the name of the regular organization. Mr. Jamieson went to Canton a fortnight ago, and after Major McKinley told kim there would be no interference in the senatorial struggle he in tcrn toid the major some gs. One was that the machine recog- the claims of personal friendship strengthered by political services when and wovid permit the administration to recognize two of the original McKiniey men in the state. These were the major’ old schovlmate, W. J. Calhoun, and Chas. G. Dawes. This gracious permission has since been the subject of some amused com- ment, but as tae time for making appoint- ments has not yet come the major and the machine are on cordial terms. A Guest of His Wife's Relative. Major McKinley while in Chicago is the guest of Mr. Lafayette McWilliams, who ts a relative of Mrs. McKinley. Mr. McWil- liams is a merchant, but what little leaning he has for politics is against the regular ML organization. guest at Evan: day or two, Chas, Dawes, whose n the major becomes for a also identified with the anti- machine wing of the party. This, taken with Siitor Kohlsaat’s entertainment, makes the immediate personal surround- ings of the Presicent-elect of an unfriend- ly character to the regular organization. ‘The machine jeaders, however, profess no fear tnat he will form unfavorable im- ns of them. They even take a sly on in wondering what the major vatisf will think when he discovers that most of the members of the Marquette Club ex- pect requitel for pioneer services with pa- ra It is probably true that last Feb- avy on the occasion of the famous ban- quet he did net suspect he was surrounded by quite so many people who were looking forward to serving the country uader his ac m nistration. Will Not Mix in the Senatarial Fight. ‘The machine leaders are justified in their corfiderce that Mejor McKinley will net get tangled up in the senatorial fight, which is now rending the party. The major is too wary fcr that. His attitude gives pro- fessed satisfaction to all the candidates for the succession to Senator John M. Paimer. These are ex-Consressman Willlam Mason, Congressmen Joseph G. Can- non, A. J. Hopkins and R. R. Hitt, ex-Gov. John M. Hamilton, Alderman M. B. Madden, and half a dozen other politi- cians of state reputation. If he doesn't have the influence of the President-elect in Fis own behalf each of the candidates has the assurance that it will not be ex- erted against him, and this is all that can Nevertheless the pres- ‘f Alderman Madden, who has the ma- chi.e’s indorsement.

Probably while in Chicago Major McKin- ley will be able to make up his mind about giving Ilinols representation in the cabi- net.

The gulf between Senator Cullom and his eld friends {s widening. He is drawing some of the Representatives to him in an- Ucipation of a contest with the organiza- }tion. The plan of Mr. Tanner and his as- sociates is to agree in certain positions, divide them and then present the slate to the President for approval. Senator Cul- lom and the Representatives prefer to fol- low the oid rule of congressional influence. They concede no right to Governor. Tan- ner’s state machine or to the Chicago re- publican ‘Tammany to nave a share in the aistribution of federal patronage. If Rep- resentative Lorimer and other members who are identified with the machine want a different arrangement they will have the opposition of Senator Cullom. Thel knowl- edge of this condition will undoubtedly come to Major McKinley while he is in lilinois and may help to eliminate Senator Cullom from the cabinet probabilities. Mr. Allerton’s Ambition. The only other known cabinet timber in the state is Mr. S. W. Allerton. He has been an enthusiastic McKinley man for a long time back. He fought the machine by pen and purse in order to secure the dele- gation from Illinois. Though a capitalist, he owns farms in some of the counties, and it is as a farmer that he lays himself on the altar of the incoming administration. He wants to be Secretary of Agriculture. Mr. Allerton is an original character of decided forces, but there are some folks in Chicago who are warning Major McKinley that the cabinet is not the best place for the exercise of his strong qualities. When he decided not to be private secre- tary Mr. Charles G. Dawes had a notion that he might reach the cabinet. Some of the Congressmen who were sounded on the subject of indorsing Mr. Dawes vetoed the idea so emphatically that they were not pressed. The major has a genuine esteem for Mr. Dawes, and since the latter will not become private secretary other provision for him. weet CHAS. M. PEPPER. ——_-o-___ Send It to a Friend.

Miss Sadie Ei Gaskin read an essay entitled “methods of Teaching in the Sunday School.” Migs Jessie E.

Mr. Lincoln Alexander delivered @ good address for the cecasion. week _ Pastor Seeured. A pastor has at fast,/been secured for pretty St. Alban's. Church on Wisconsin avenue near Woodley Lane road. The church has been without a pastor since the resignation of Rev. Nelson Falls. Upon the appointment of Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee as bishop of this diocese, the congregation thought that he would assume charge of the spiritual affairs of the church. There was every reason to believe that he would do this, but subsequently he changed his mind. The new pastor of the church is Rev. Philip M. Rhinelander. He was at St. Alban’s last Sunday, in company with Bishop Satterlee, who introduced him .o the congregation. Rey. Mr. Rhinelander is about twenty-five years of age, of fine appearance and a good speaker. He is a €eacon, and will not be ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church until some time next spring. He comes from a promi- nent New York city family, and, after taking a thorough course in this country, went over to Oxford University, in Eng- lard, where he graduated with honors. A call was extended to him some time ago by the congrégation of St. Alban’s, and his ac- ceptance of the same has been received with pleasure. He will conduct a Christ- mas day service at the church. Wanted in Virginia. George Graham, colored, was arrested yesterday afternoon at the hide nous« corner of 32d and K streets by Policeman Housel, while attempting to dispose of some hides. The negro was taken to the station house, where it was ascertained that he was wanted in Virginia for the larceny of several wagons, a horse and the load of hides he was endeavoring to dispose of. The negro first stole a horse and wagon from A. H. J. Fadley, a farmer near Lees- burg, but the wagon breaking down, he stele another from ‘T. H. Vandevanter and continued on his downward trip. The sec- ond wagon broke down, and, nothing daunt- ed, the thief stole another from the lumber yards of Norris Brothers in Virginia. He ~visited the slaughter house of the Grimeses and stole $40 worth of hides. For a third time the wagon stolen broke down, and the thief stole ‘a dayton wagon belonging Mr. Robert Harper. He arrived in town au right, but his suspicious actions when he attempted to sell the hides led to his arrest. The Leesburg authorities were communi- cated with and the negro will be turned over to them. Christmas Service The Congress Street M. P. Church will hgjd special cervices on Christmas morning at 6 o'clock, under direction of the pastor, Rev. W. 8. Hammond, D.D., in the lecture room.

MORE DELAYS IN GAMBLING CASES Mr. Johnson Indignantly Refuses Any Legal Aid. BONDS FOR WITNESSES Another of those farce comedies for which the courts of justice of Alexandria county are becoming famovs was enacted at ‘Rose Cottage,” about half a mile west of Rosslyn, yesterday afternoon, when the cases of John Clark, John Lully, John Gamble, Thurston Johnson and Frank Forster were supposed to come up for trial. It seems almcst impossible to get a trial in the cases of alleged gambling, and every means is used to defeat the ends of jus- tice. ‘The prisoners were present, the witnesses ready and all in shape for the trial to pro- ceed when Attorney John H. Green, repre- senting the defendants, moved for a con- tinuance of the case on the ground that he wished to secure copies of some records in Baltimore and Washington courts which would reflect on the character of one of the witnesses to the defense. Mr. Green stated further in support of his motion that he did not until now know the names of the witnesses (though it is not customary for the prosecution to give away the names of those they will produce in evidence). Mr. Johnson, the commonwealth’s attor- ney for Alexandria county, interposed a very weak objection to continuance, say- ing he was ready for the trial of the case at once. At this point the fun began. Judge Yarrell’s Request. , Judge Yarrell of Washington, who is also a member of the Alexandria county bar, and who had been especially employed by the Citizens’ League cf Alexandria county to represent them, as well as the prosecut- ng witness, arose and asked permission of Justice Birch to appear in the case with the commonwealth attorney. He had hard- ly gotten on his feet before Lawyer Greene interposed an objection to Judge Yarrell. “What do you represent, what is your po- sition In the case?” said Mr. Greene. Judge Yarrell paid no attention to Mr. Greene. however, but addressed himself to the court and asked permission to state his desire. which was granted. Judge Yarrell stated his position, which was to represent the Citizens’ League and the prosecuting witness, who he said was lable to costs if the case was dismissed. Concluding the judge said: “I make ti request of you and hope you will grant it. I claim it as a right, and if it is not a right, I ask it as a favor.” Hardly had these words gotten out of his mouth before Mr. Johnson had cast aside the butt of a half-smoked cigar and was on his feet. Fiery Addresnen. : Mr. Johnson said: “With all due respect to my friend here, your honor is fully aware that for the past two years I have been treated with the utmost contempt in the Prosecution of all these cases, from the governor down. I have at last made up my mind to represent the commonwealth of Virginia in the prosecution of these cases, and I do not desire the assistance of any man. I do not think the gentleman is .reating me with proper courtesy when he attempts to force himself on me in the prosecution of these cases. It is simply a trick to take the prosecution of thes cases entirely out of my hands, and as lon as I am prosecutor in Alexandria county 1 propose to exercise that right until J am removed or my term expires. When I want the assistance of anybody I will do as I have heretofore done, select some one myself. Not only that, I have an assistant here in the way of one of the best lawyers of Alexandria city, who is ready to assist me in the prosecution of any case I may desire.” At the conclusion of Mr. Johnson's speech, which was truly a grand burst of eloquence, and delivered with dramatic effect, Judge Yarrell immediately arose and disclaimed any discourtesy to Mr. Johnson, telling the court that he had in all fairness requested this privilege of Mr. Johnson before ‘the court convened, and, on being curtly re- fused, had informed Mr. Johnson that per- mission would be requested of the court Justice Birch ruled against the appearance of Judge Yarrell in the case. Judge Yarrel asked that a note be’ made on the records for a test case as to the rights of attor- neys. Lawyer Green then renewed his motion for a continuance of all these cases, which was granted on the affidavit of one of the defendanis. “Judge” Birch allowed the motion, and the case was fixed for January 11, 1597, at 2 o'clock. s Higher Bonds. Pefore the court adjourned Mr. Johnson, commonwealth’s attorney, said: “Now, I am going to submit a motion in reference to this matter. I am going to ask that the bonds of the parties be increased from $100 to $500 in each case. I do not think $100 bonds are sufficient. I am also going to ask your honor to put these witnesses under a $5300 bond for their appearance here when wanted. Tie reason why I do this is that there have been a dozen cases in which witnesses have come over here and sworn out warrants and when the cases were called for trial did not appeaz, and as these are non-resident witnesses I ask to havé them put under $500 bonas for their appearance.” This was done, and the unusual spectacle of one prisoner going on the bond of the other was presented. John Clark, one of the defendants in tne case and the pro- prietor of the “White House” at Rossiyn, which resort has grown famous and which was raided a few nights ago and $1,000 worth of gambling paraphernalia’ found there, went on the bond of John Lully, Jobn Gamble and Thurston Johnson, and J. Mariott Hill of Alexandria went bail for Clark and Frank Foster.
