W. H. Elliott and Theodors Roosevelt Want the Assistant Secretaryship of the Navy. CANTON, 0o, Feb. 11.—Major McKin- ley shook hands with four score or more of visitors to-day and found time to reply to a number of letters and talk to an old friend or two. W. H. Elliott, a newspaperman of New- stle, Ind., who was formerly in the navy and is a graduate or the United States Naval Academy, called to present his ap- plication for Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Eitiott is indorsed by many prominent men of his own and other States. The President-elect gave him a careful hearing and asked him to confer with ex-Governor John D. Long of Massa- chusetts about the matter, which seems to prove very conclusively that, as these dispatches have announced, Mr. Long has been definitely settled upon for the po- It was also learned by Mr. Elliott that Theodore Roosevelt is a candidate for the position of Assistant Secretary of the Navy and that no promises have been made to him. | General Andrew Hickenlooper of Cin- cinnati was a caller at the McKinley resi- MAY YET PASS OVER THE VETD Assemblymen Discuss the Bill to Provide Funds for the Printer. It Claimed That There Is Not a Deficiency in the 0 fice. Lively Debates in an Attempt to Override th: Will of Gov- ernor Buid. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Feb. 11.—Really the sessions of the Assembly are becom- ing interesting. The members have been jolted out of the commonplace rut of dull | routine and are showing signs of life. Yesterday there was the Duckworth | matinee, followed thismorning by a lively skirmish over the passage of the $300,000 dredger bull, and this afternoon by the joust between Governor Budd and the State Printer. It was not quite so excit- g as the baiting of Clerk Duckworth on the day before, but it was equally as in- teresting and was witnessed by a crowd dence this afternoon. He is of the opin- ion that a friendly conference among those concerned will practically settle the question of Mr. Sherman’s successor in tue Senate of the United States. Among other callers were M. E. Furner, | Charles L. Stone and William A. Jones, Syracuse, N. Y., who came, they say, on a special mission; B. F. Havens, Terre Haute, Ind.; Calvin Whitney, Norwalk, Onio; James Hasmer, New York; Cap- tain M. B. Gary, Cleveland; J. L. Cam- eron and Judge L. Piper of Marysville, Ohio; W. C. Whitehouse, Tennessee; Dr. George D. Pollard, Jefferson, Okio; B n- jamin Jonmes, North Lawrence; Judge Henry G.

It is anticipated that the will be a change within two or three day: The Kyle men, it is claimed, are looking for a place to land. —_—— A4 WARRIOK'S SUICIDE, Gallant Captain McGiffin of Chinese Fame Shot Humself. NEW YORK, N.Y., Feb. 11.—Captain Puilo H. McGiffin, formerly an ofticer of the Chinese navy and commander of the battle-ship Chin Yuen in the battle of the Yalu, committed suicide this morn- ing at the Post Graduate Hospital by shooting. Captain McGiffin had been in the hos- vital for a month under treatment for nervous protration. He retired at 10 His nurse, named Bar: 1o hing unasual. At 2 o’clock staried by a He hastened to Captain Mc- pistol shot. Giffin's apartment and found the patient sitting boistered up in bed dead. A astily penciled note, addressed to the hospital authorities, expressing gratitude for kindnesses to the writer, was found, but it gave no reason for the action. Captain McGiffin, formerly an officer in the American navy, resigned to accept service under the Chinese Emperor. Captain McGiffin was in command of the Chinese warship Chen Yuen during the battle of the Yalu, September 17, 1894, | | and though he fought her well and br. | was compelled to retire. Ry The injuries re- ceived in that fight, not regarded at the time as especially 'serious, invalid ever since.

Y., Feb. 11.—A Suu’s special from Washington says: Liliuoka- lani, the deposed Queen of Hawaii, who has been suffering with the grippe for the past few day now convalescent. She is feeling better than for six days previ- ous. To-day, i the weather permits and she is in good spisits, the Capitol will be visited. For the past ten days her Majesty | has been planning to see the building where our Jaws are made and to see the people who make them, but for one rea- | son or another she Las failed to carry out her purpose. The usual number of callers came to see her yesterday. It is surprising to see whatan interest the people of the country have in tLis woman. Not a day passes that she does not receive at least a dozen invitations to attend social functions, but she has not as yet accepted any of them. As the days pass and no sign of Ler quit- ting the capital city appears the belief grows that she is Lere for a political pur- pose, but just what it is no one seems to know. The talk most indulged in last night was that she is trying to secure as- sistance from the present or incoming ad- ministration to place her on the Hawaiian throne. ———— Seventh-Day Adrentists, LINCOLN, Nsr., Feb, 11.—The attena- ance is growing daily in the world’s con- ference of the Seventh-duy Aaventists be- ing held at College View, the seat of the denominational college, near Lincoln. Among the notable arrivals yesterday and to-day were Elder George B. Thomson, South Africa; W. C. White, Australia; H P. Hotsen, Hamburg, Germany; G. N. Loufbourgn, who has been traveling in | Scotland and Scandinavia; H. E. Robin. son, president of the British conference; E. G. Wagner, editor of the English paper of the denomination in ‘London, and rep- resentatives from all States in this cong. try and from all over the world. To-day’ session was largely occupied by Editor Wagner in a sermon, followed by discus- sion, § o Failure of an Insurance Company. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Feb. 11. — The Wisconsin Odd Fellows’ Mutual Insurance Company, which was organized in 1865, made an assignment to-day for the benefit of its creditors, and John L. Fulton of Whitewater, Wis., is now in charge of the | company’s affairs'as receiver at the gen- eral offices in this city. During the past year over 5000 members have dropped out, it is said, which crippled the company so could not pay 1ts losses. The aggregate surance due from the Odd Fellows’ Mu- tual Company is $60.000. Under the as. signmenc steps will be taken to collect from ex-members who have refused to settle, and the assets, it is believed, will be increased so that 75 per cent may be other States from accepting trusteeships paid in time, in Canton | | completely | shattered his health and he has been an equally as large, all the printers and lead- {ing representaiives of the Federated | Trades, and all the pretty girls and some | of the homely ones, too, from the State | Book Bindery being present in all the | glory of their war paint and feathers. The friends of Goverror Budd achieved a temporary victory by preventing a two- thirds voie to pass the State Printer’s ap- propriation of §75,000 over the veto, but Leavitt's motion to reconsider will start | the ball rolling again to-morrow after- | noon. The matter was decided by a vote | of 47 ayes to 51 noes, Keables and Lands- | borough (Fusionists) voting with the Re- | publicans in favor of the appropriation | and Belshaw (R.) absent. With the two | exceptions jnst noted the Democrats voted | solidly to sustain the Governor. | It was a most extraordinary affair all | around. The minority conceded, or rather | did not deny, that the appropriation was necessary to carry on the State printing office up to July 1, nor did they deny that much larger sums haa been aliowed other State printers for a similar period in past ears, but because Governor Budd had vetoed the bill they were bound to stana | by him right or wrong. |~ Asanevidence of the weakness of the minority, it was stated in the course of the debate that the friends of the Gover- | nor haa expressea their willingness, and | bis, to allow the State Printer $40,000, with the understanding that if that sum should, before the close of the session, be found inadequate, a deficiency bill for the | remaining $35,000 could be rushed through. it seemed as though the Democrats were looking for a soft spo: on which to | but all their overtures were spurned. i cry of the Republicans was **No compro- mise!” while the Democrats sought to justify their course by alleging a dis- crepancy between the accounts of the | State Printer and the vouchers ailowed by the State Board of Examiners. It was ar- rued by the majority that the printer did not have the handling of a doilar of the | Siate’s money; that the State Board of | Examiners pas<ed upon the payrolls and all other claims against the printing | office; that the printer's vouchers were correct and in possession of the Board of { Examiners, and that in order to be hon- est, straightforward and fair in the matter it would be necessary for the minority to show that the proposed appropriation of $75,000 was too large, or that no part of it whatever was necessary, and that the charge of the existence of a discrepancy was immaterial and not relevant to tne issue before the House. | That good man from Amador, Cami- netti, who, like a political Cincinnatus, on leaving his tora behind him in the halls | of Congress, has returned to the humble | plow of the Assembly, led the forces of the Governcr. His argument was a!most | exclusively confined to the matter of the alleged discrepancy, and he ignored the real issue of the need of the appropria- | tion. But, after all, the good man fell into a trap which took all the fizz out of him, and left him stale, flat and unprofitable. After he had defied the friends of the bill to deny that there was a discrepancy, | ana after he had said that be would take | the word of the bookkeeper of the State | Printing Office rather than that of Leavitt of Alameda, Leavitt stated that the | figures which he (Leuvitt) had quoted to | show that not only no discrepancy ex- | 1sted, but that on ‘the contrary there should be §2000 to the credit of the State Printer, bad been furnished :im by the bookkeeper of the State Printer. | Shanahan, Caminetti’s lieutenant, was | also given an unexpected setback and had the laugh turned on him. He was dis- | claiming against waste and extravagance and harping on fhe imaginary dis- crepancy, when Dennery, asked him | whether ‘it was not trae that he (Shana- | han) had not several years ago voted for an appropriation of $70,000 at this time of | the year for a deliciency in the State | Printing Office, the Superintendent of | which wasa D mocrat. That was before | the greater nnmger of the present bureaus | and commis<ion$ were created and when the quantity of printing required was very much léss than iz is to-day. When tue matter was placed before the House this afternoon Melick, chairman of the Retrenchment Commitiee, presented | a report stating what the committee had | done in the matter and citing the fact that | the Governor bad refused to obey the | subpena of the committee. The report re- cited that the committee had discovered an apparent irregularity, and that the ex- isting method of publishing State docu- ments tended to the unnecessary expendi- ture of State money, a condition for which the Legislature itself was responsible, be- cause of its failure to enact the proper laws regulating that matter. In view of the fact that an additional appropriation was needed to meet the work already in hand and accumulating in the hands of the State Printer the committee recom- mended the appointment of one or more experts to expert the accounts of the State Printer and the apparent irregularity already mentioned. Leavitt of Alameda opened the debate on behalf of the bill with the proposition that ihe question aprarently hinged on an rregularity in the accounts of the State Printer. Bat the fact was that there was no irregularity and no misanpropriation of the funds, ‘‘and,” added Leavitt, “the report itself does not show it, the Gover- nor to the contrary notwithstanding,” Leavitt went on to explain thatan ap- propriation of 350,000 had been made for the running expenses of the last sessi.n of the Legislature, but it spent $25,000 more than that amount. The report of the State Printer showed that printing had been done for the different departments of the State government at a cost of $82,257 80; that there was siock on hand at that time of the value of $15.695 48, making an ag. gregate of $97,056 28 absolutely accounted for. Bearing 1n mind that the $28,008 that was used aver and above the $50,000 was to be paid out of the $250,000 appropriation and deducting that irom $49,044 leaves $21,036. The lithographin - that was done for the several d=partments cost $4538 and that deducted from $21,036 leaves but $16,478 of a ro-called deficiency.

This was cheaper than the work could be done by contra: That would leave & deficiency, pot against, bat 1n favor of the State Printer of $2000. Dennery of San Francisco expressed the hope that the Assembly would not make a political matter out of the affair. It was a question as to whether they wanted to keep the State Printing Office open or whether they wanted it closel. “Do you want your business to be done have heard so much?”’ asked Dennery. Then be told of a big mass-meeting of workingmen, which he had attended 1ast night, and of the sentiment that was ex- pressed at that meeting in favor of the ap- propriation. He said that Mr. Severy had been given a position in the State Print- ing Offic: at the request of Governor Budd. Briagford argued that whenever the Governor exercised his discretion and vetoed a bill it was the duty of the Legts- lature to sustain him. Melick said that the commission, after having made a_thorough investigation of the matter, had found that the apropria- tion of $75,000 was actually needed to carry the printing office through until July 1. By next Saturday night $20,000 would be required to pay up the wages now due. ‘While Shanahan was talking abont the amount that would be actually needed by the Printer for the present, Dennery acked him if he had not voted in 1889 in favor of a deficiency avpropriation of $70,000 for State Printer Young, Democrat. *1 did,’ repiied Shanaban, and a shout of laughter went up from the lub?.

He be- lieved that ihe Governor had been misled as to the statements in his message, not maliciously, but ignorantly, and calied at- tention to the misrepresentations in the Governor's message as to the capacity of the presses. Caminetti followed with a statement thas the bookkeeper of the State Printer had been unable to account for the dis- crepancy of § 2,000, and asked why was it most active supporters of the bill to grant the appropriation, and he worked hard 1o belp pass the biil over the Governor's veto. Friends of the bill are confident that the necessary filiy-four votes will bs secured. With Belshaw's vote, which would have swollen the total eight, only six are needed, which they are confident they can secure to-morrow. OF INTEKEST TO IHE COAST.
