M'KINlEY TO HANNA'S AID.
Tells Foraker That the Senator
Should be Elected.

Washington, D. c., Nov. I2.-Senator
Foraker, after reading the morning dis
patches from Ohio. found it necessa to
return to Cincinnati, where he will have
a conference W it'll some of his l;eutenauts
and tell them what the President said to
him yesterday about his desire to have
Senator Hanna elected. 1t is understood
IN this connection that no more Ohio APP
pointmen,s will he made until after the
Senatorial election is held.
If the advice of Senator German and
other Democratic leaders is taken ny the
Democrats in the Ohio legislature, they
will not take part in the Republican
quarrel over the Senatorship. The Dem
ocratic leaders think that Senator Han
mas election would be more profitable to
the Democratic party than that OF any
other Republican.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 12.-The anti
Hanna combination claim that twenty
Republican members OF the general as
sembly can be relied on to vote against
Mr. Hanna E. j. Griifiths, a lukewarm
Hanna man, will probably be II AIDE the
candidate Of the ants in consideration
of his support of the anti. Hanna move
ment
The enemies of Mr.. Hanna are circula-
ting a story Of u bargain alleged to have
been made in this State a few days before
Governor Bushnell appointed Mr.. Hanna
United States Senator. BY the terms of
the contract. it is alleged, Mr.. Hanna
was to receive the Sena torship in consd-
Grafton of surrendering absolute control
of the party in this State to the governor.
Mr.. Hanna was to keep his hands off
the convention at Toledo. He was to
allow Governor Bus hnel to he the die
tator of the Republican party in the
State, and to retire into the background
himself. He was also to forget all past
di ffereDces, and not interfere with Mr..
Kurtz as chairman of the campaign COM
mittee.
On the other hand, Mr.. Hanna vas to
have the appointment as 6enatur was to
be Endorsed by the convention at Toledo,
and was to have no oppoition from bis
party for the short and long terms AS
Senator in the next legislature. Mr..
Hanna's enemies declare that he violated
every promise thus alleged to have been
made
1t Is not true that Senator Hanna lost
the State on popular vote for memb ers Of
the Legislature. The total vote received
by Republican candidates for the legisla-
ture exceeds that cast for the Democratic
candidates, according to the official count
made by the secretary of the State, by
4 629 votes. Still this shows that many
Republicans refused to support Senator
Hanna, for the official plurality for Gov
ernor Bushnell is %, 1876

Honest ~Horse.Traders.

Swapping horses. 1t is Said, is of all

temptation to get the best of a bargain
When 1t is a question of horse-fesh.

lowing anecdote. which proves the en-
ceptiOn to the rule:
Two gentlemen of Maishaltown. Va,

A. and Mr.. S.. met one day and agreed
to swap horses.

you shall bring me two bushels of
wheat to bind the bargain. and if l
como out best, I'll do the same by YOU,

That's as it may be" retorted MIR.
A. But let it be agreed, then. that a
week from this afternoon the one that's
best suited, be it you or me. shall give
t'other two bushels of wheat

DRAPER do THE DEED
confcsses to the Murder Of Charles. L.
Hastings at Jacksonville, I'll.

W 4ABo
Charles l.. Draper has made to his pas
tor, Rev. DIR. Morey. Il complete confess
sion of the murder of Charles L. Hastings
in the abstract office of Judge Kirby at
Jacksonville, ILL.,, March 81. He said that
he had been in the employ of Judge Kirby
for some time. when Hastings came back
to the city without means and in despair
over losing his property. Draper said he
interceded for Hastings with Judge Kir-
by and secured him Il position. They
went to work together and from that time
the trouble began. Draper claimed that
he had shown Hastings every kindness
only to be rebuffed. He would do a great
amount Oh work preparing papers and
Hastings would label them with his
name and take the credit of preparing
them.
The trouble eliminated when Draper
pressed Hastings for a reason why he was
so cool and was answered with an oath
that he wanted nothing more to do with
him. An appeal to Judge Kirby had no
effect and Draper resigned and then be-
gan business for himself. In order to get
through with his work he had to have
access to the books he had helped to pre-
pare. He had kept n key to the door,
and decided to see if the combination on
the vault door had been changed and
found it had not. He Went there night
after night to take off the abstracts of
titles. He vas suspected and was shad-
owed by a detective for over n month, but
he held off until the detective went off
duty and n day or two after made his
last visit to tho Office. Hastings unex-
pectedly entered and Draper says at

The list Of a%rbitrations between the
United States and other powers which
MI. Sherman laid before the Senate
the other day has been printed. It -
not complete, and there is no indication
as to how nearly 90 1t is. It embraces

they are the only ones Of serious inn

and 1927, relate to boundary. In one Of
these, in 1927, the decision was waived
By both governments as beyond the
competency Of the tribunal. In four
others the decisions vert wholly or
overwhelmingly in favor Of the United
States. The most important arbitrG-
tons were. Of course, those under the
convention of May 8, 1871, commonly
known as the treaty of Washington.
There were four in all. The one relat-
ing to the Alabama claims was by far
the most momentous and is as clearly
In our favor as was that " the San
Juan boundary, while there was an adj
verse decision on the fisheries and on
civil var claims. The record certainly
shows that in arbitrations Of great
