Not q Particle Of
Truth
In the Reported Deal Between
Himself and National Chair
man Hanna,
BY Which Sherman Would Get a
Cabinet Position and Hanna
Il SenatorShip.

man>of Ohio gave Il statement to Th c
Evening Star making a fiat and en-
phatic denial of the reports concerning
deal between himself and Mr.. Mark
Hanna, as to the Ohio senatorshlp, and
cabinet position under Mckinley.
Mr.. Sherman says that the stories al
leRinY an arrangement whereby he
(Sherman) should go into the cabinet,
and Mr.. Hanna succeed him in the SEN
ate, are pure fabrication. He says he
has not seen either Mr.. Mckinley or
Mr.. Hanna since the election, and that
he has not had any correspondence
with them save of the most ordinary
character. chiefly forwarding applica-
tions for Office made through him.
There have been, he continued. no ar
rangements or conferences of any kind
as to Offices.
Regarding whether he would be d
candidate for reelection to the senate,
Mr.. Sherman said that he had not
thought anything about 1t. and there.

Oh that subject. He paid warm trib.
ute to Mr.. Hanna, who, he said, was q
strong friend of his, and man of fine
attainments and ability.

Frank Erne Given the Decision
in His Contest With George

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Warren Lewis,
president of the Greater New York
Athletic club. who has been arranging
for fight between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons at Coney Island, called OH
District Attorney Backus to secure a
permit for the fight to take place. Mr..
Backus refused to grant the permit,
and said that he would not allow the
fight to take place, as he understood it
was prize fight and not fight for
points, and he added that if an attempt
was made to bring the men together
in the ring, they would be ar.
rested. MIR. Lewis directed the
district attorneys attention to the
fights that took place in the Broadway
Athletic club, to which Mr.. Backus
made reply:
1T makes no difference to me what
they do in New York. l won't allow
the law to lie violated in Kings
county"
Besides Mr.. Lewis, his counsel and
hackers, there were present at the con-
sultation, Police Commissioner Wells.

ERNE is CHAMPION.

Given the Decision in n Twenty Reund
Contest With George Dixon.
NEW YORK, Nov. ,30.-Frank Erne
of Buffalo won the title of feather
weight champion of the world by being
awarded the decision in 2O-round con-
test with George Dixon. the clever col
ored boy who has for SO long held un-
disputed claim to that pugilistic honor.
The Broadway Athletic club arena was
filed with large crowd of sporting
men, many Of whom had come long
distance to witness the contest.
Dixon and Erne met in this city last
December and the result then was a
draw. Since that time the admirers of
both boxers have claimed that their
man had the better of that go. Both of
these featherweights have trained
faithfully for this contest and the
fighting was spirited from beginning to
end. There were loud calls for draw
when the fight was over, but the ref.
cree decided IN favor of the Buffalo
boy, there was plenty of cheering and
very little kissing when the referees
decision was announced.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

Dun Reports business in General Improv-
ing-The Advance in Wheat.
New YORK, Nov. 30 R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Rev .ew of Trade says
Reports from all parts of the country
show clearly enlargement ot ,AIde, not
ut all points in the same branches, but
everywhere helped by more confident
feeling. Extremes of weather have
made the week not altogether good for
retail trade. but in that line also there
is improvement on the whole. Wheat
has risen over d cents for the week,
without material change in foreign ad-
vices, which have been Oh the whole
less stimulating. Western receipts are
falling behind last years and for four
weeks past have been only 1902, ,5S4
bushels, against 27,9O2.5l last year,
while the exports. flour included, have
been 6,27O,93l bushels in the same
week, against 6,265,Ol6 last year,
and are
Not Large Enough to Create Excitement.
But Is cargoes have left Tacoma in No
vember and 80 have left San Fran
cisco with IL more loading and 40 en-
gagged. The milling demand in the At
lantic states is also large, and at four
Western cities the output of flour Ill
five weeks has been 1856, 4l5 barrels
against 2,913, 800 in the same weeks last
year. Corn has sympathized with
wheat only little and is coming freely.
The most important factor in the wheat
market is that the visible supplies do
not gain as much as has been expected
Cotton has gained only sixteenth,
after its considerable decline and the
tolerably heavy movement puts the
spectators for an advance in constant
difficulties. Wool was and is still
bought largely for speculation, and ear
lier purchasers are unloading on the
latter, but the mil Is are not doing much
more than in October.

ton Plummer, representing an English
syndicate of fruit growers and capital

acres of wild land are to be secured at
ridiculously low fgures-less than 75

From the Ellsworth Herald.

The Cuban patriots are deserv-
ing of the sympathies of all civil
Iized nations. They have shown
themselves far more humane in
the conduct Of the war than their
Spanish prosecutors. So far as can
be. learned they have treated
prisoners of war fairly. On the
other hand the Spaniards tleat
their prisoners with the most
barbaric cruelty. The bulk of
of them are shot or strangled at
once without ceremony. The
Cubans have earned the respect of
the world and should be at least
acknowledged as belIigerents and a
stop put to these dev ilish military
executions.

Bicycles AS Baggage.

CHICAGO, May 21.-There is
likely to be all sorts OF trouble
among the roads of the Western
Passenger Association regarding
the charge for carrying bicycles.
The Wisconsin Central, which
announced some days ago it would
carry wheels free, finds itself
confronted with serious condi-
>tion. When it gave notice it was
under the impression that the
matter was one of those upon
which any road in the association
can take independent action, after
giving ten days notice to the
chairman of the association. 1t
finds now that this particular
matter does not come under this
head, and that if it is DESTROYS of
carrying wheels for nothing it
must withdraw from the assOci :
alton. 1t is not likely that the
rules of the association will be
changed to allow the abolishment
of the charge. as it requires the
unanimous vote of all the lines to
change any of the rules, and sew
eral of the roads are determined
that there shall be charge for
the carrying of wheels, and they
will not under any circumstances
vote for the adjustment of the
rule under which the charges are
now made. The entire matter
will probably come up at the next
meeting of the Western Passen :
ger Association. and on effort will
be made to settle the whole thing
at that time.

Wireless Telegraphy.

Tesla, the inventor, claims that
it is possible to telegraph without
the use Of wires, using what he
calls the Sympathetic current.
In that event, if he succeeds IN
unearthing the process, the whole
institution of telegraphy will be
revolutionized. Neither wires
nor other agencies are needed to
tell people that the Saint Paul
and Duluth Railroad offers the
best and most popular route be-
tween st. Paul, Duluth, Mime
apolis, West Superior, Saltwater.
Taylor's Falls and other points,
as the sympathetic current OF
general favor has made the fact
patent enough for everybody. For
years it has had the lead, because
OF It's fine equipment, its plctur-
esque environment, the beauty OF
the summer resorts along it's right
of way. and the pains it takes to
cater to the comfort of it's thous-
ands of patrons. It's fast trains,
comforta BILE aud up to date, run
speedily at convenient hours
through the most interesting
portion Of the Northwest, MAX
ing close connection at handsome
terminals with trains and. boats
running in all directions. Hence
is a line that appeals to the
business man, the tourist and the
homeseeker, and the man who IS
once a patron is always patron.

result there is war between the
cyclists and the police. Early
this morning cyclists with cow
rells, whistles and other instru-
ments of torture came out and
paraded the streets. They were
ordered to stop or they would be
arrested for disorderly conduct,
and some obeyed. One boy Of IA
was arrested, but was released
later. Tonight cowbells, COM
