OHIo's "BIG FOUR" DELEGATES.
Announcement of the Slate ARRANGED
at Cleveland.

Announcement of the Slate Arranged
at Cleveland.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, January 3O-The
result Of the recent conference between
Chairman Kurtz of the republican state
committee, Col. Conger of Akron, NJ A.
Hanna, James H. Hoyt and Col. Myron T.
Herrick of this city, which was held here
Monday, has been that the slate as now
arranged is composed of Foraker, Bush
nell, Grosvenor and Hoyt, as Ohios big
four at the st. Louis convention. James
A. Hoyt and not M. A Hanna will he
northern Ohio's representative on the big
four ticket. Some say this is due to the
fact that Mr.. Hanna wanted to see his
friends, S. Il. Everett and Col NJ T. Her.
rick, chosen to represent the twenty-first
congressional district, and as he also wants
Mr.. Hoyt to be present as a delegate, the
only way out of the difficulty was for him
to withdraw and place Hoyt, who comes
from the twenty-frst, on the big four list
and then he himself will try for a. place
on the twentieth congressional delegation.
This may be true, but there are some,
and a very large some" who are unkind
ment is not a voluntary one, but that he
McKinleys chief henchman, cannot go on
the big four ticket because the Forakerites
object, and that it is a case of "Hobson's
choice with him.
1t is now conceded that the mission of
Messrs. Kurtz and Conger to the city was
to inform Mr.. Hanna Of Mr.. F'orakers
final decision. This is q bitter fate for
Mr.. Hsr na,- who is closer to Gov. McKin-
ley than is any other man in the country.
1t also demonstrates that the party ma
chinery in Ohio is absolutely in the hands
of Senator-elect Foraker.
Foraker and Bushnell will be on the big
four list. The fourth man will be Con-
gresham Grosvenor SO say those who pre-
tend to know, and there is certainly some
thing to support their claims Grosvenor
was mentioned by both Messrs. Kurtz and
Ccrger as probable choice, showing that
he is not entirely unthought of; but besides
this there is q far stronger reason, which
developed yesterday. Mr.. Grosvenor is
Gown in Washington, but Tuesday he had
time enough to be interviewed by news
paper man in regard to the slate for the
big four. and he announced positively that
the slate was arranged; that he knew who
was on it, and that Foraker was one of
them. Some question Mr.. Grosvenor's 10y
atty to Mckinley, for the reason that he
owes his place On the ways and means COM
mittee to Reed, and it is said he might
therefore favor the Maine man for the
presidential chair. This is not considered
as reasonable in the face of the fact that
Mr.. Reed merely followed precedent when
he named Mr.. Grosvenor as a member of
the chief committee.
While the Ohio delegation to ST. Louis
will be controlled by Foraker, it is not be-
lieved that it will be disloyal to Mckinley.

the story that Mr.. Gable is here as a can

But he stated then that he wanted nothing

NEW YORK, January 30.-A dispatch to
the World from Cape Town, South Africa,

there. They were roughly treated and
obliged to run to the Jail to escape being torn
to pieces
One of the American prisoners. apparently

men accustomed to luxury, and the risk of
typhoid fever from lack of sanitation, are
awful. They had to eat their food off the

A dispatch to the World from London
says: The Pretoria Jail in which John Hays
Hammond and four other leading men of
Johannesburg are confined is described as a
wretched structure of red brick, with
standing gallows always in plain view from
the cell windows. Mr.. Werner, the head of
the great diamond house of Werner, Belt &
Co., whose partner, Lionel Phillips, is one
of the five prisoners, tells me there is no
danger of the death penalty being inflicted
upon any of the accused, but that under the

possible.

stern of the great hull caught the water the
shrill whistles of the steamers, several for
