DENIED BY SHERMAN.


The Senator Says He Does Not Intend to
Resign In Favor of Foster.
WASHINGTON. Nov. Ex-senator John
Sherman was this afternoon asked whether
il was true as reported. that he is to re-
sign his seat in the Senate in favor of Sec
rotary Foster. He very quietly but effect
ually disposed of the story by saying that
he knew nothing of it. and that if any one
was an authority On the subject he should
be that person.
The Cincinnati Times Stars WashIpg ton
correspondent says he learns from unques-
toned authority that Senator John Sher-
man intends to retire soon to private life.
and that he desires to have Secretary
Charles Foster for his successor. Speaking
of these statements the paper says: This
story seems quite probable in view OF the
tact that the Senate will soon be Demo-
cratic. The Incredible part of the story is
that he desires to have Charles Foster for
bis successor. The logical consequence OF
Senator Sherman's retirement will be the
election of Ex-Governor Foraker to the va
cancy. Secretary Foster will have very
little support from this part of tho State.
In this connection remark made by ex-
Governor Foraker in his closing speech IN
the campaign in Cincinnati Saturday night
last would indicate some knowledge of she
resignation at that time and some expecta-
ton that he would be the successor. Speak.
ing of Washington city. he said he expected
TO see more of that city in the future than
he had seen In the past"

made to him of that branch Of
his work as Postmaster general than
anything he has done and he Is in

strong accommodation in his annual re-
port, which he is now writing. He says be

tricts are very popular. 1t is expected
that his next and last annual report will
be important and the most interesting one
he has issued.
