HOAR MAY SUCCEED HAY,
And Secretary Long May BE Sent to
the United States Senate.

NEW YORK, Sept 13.-A special to the
Times from Washington says 1T is under
stood that President Mckinley has decided
to offer the pest of ambassador to the court
of st. James made vacant by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Hay as secretary of state, to
Senator Hoar. The President is very anx-
ious to have him accept the post. He thinks
Mr.. Hoar would maintain the lofty stand
ards established at that court by such am
bassadors as Lowell and Bayard. Senator
Hoar is considered learned, a diplomat by
nature and long training, tactful and gra-
cious. The only thing that stands in the
way of Mr.. Hoars acceptance is his own
health, which has not been very strong for
some time. His friends think, however.
that he is strong enough for the duties OF
the post, and believe that he will soon be in
excellent physical condition.
Mr.. HOar is, outside of his own Quaiifica-
tons, an ideal man in the estimation of the
President. His mission to London would
create a vacancy that could and probably
would be filled acceptably by Secretary OF
the Navy Long, whose friends are anxious
10 see him round out his career by a long
and unchalenged seat in the Senate. 1t is
an understood thing that the President IS
especially pleased by the manner in which
he has conducted the affairs Of the navy
during the war in which so much was ac-
compished by American seamen, and is anx-
ious TO promote any plans that may lead to
Il seat in the Senate for the secretary of the
navy"

WARM POLITICAL FIGHT
j. ADDISON PORTER SEEKING NOM
NATION FOR GOVERNOR.
Ticket and Platform of New Hamp-
shire RepubIicans-Resol
of Delaware Democrats.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,. Sept. 13.-The Re-
publican state convention will meet to-mor-
row. Many delegates are here tonight and
the rival candidates for Governor have
opened headquarters. The convention
promises to be one of the most interesting
of recent years, chiefly on account of the
strong effort made by John Addison Porter,
secretary to President Mckinley, to secure
the nomination for Governor This is the
third time that Mr.. Porter has been candi-
date for the nomination. According to the
statements of the managers of his rivals
campaign he will not be in the running, and
George Lounsbury the other candidate, will
be nominated on the first ballot by an over
whelming majority 1t is asserted that Sen
ator Lounsbury is assured of the votes OF
365 of the delegates, and as the convention
will have but 504 votes the nomination of the
head of the ticket will be quickly disposed
of. The Porter men pooh-pooh these state
ments and confidently state that when the
ballots are counted there will be some sur
prises as there are a large number of I'M
instructed delegates who are doubtful
quantity.
The picturesque feature of the campaign
is the Vigor with which Mr.. Porter has at
tackled the men who manage the affairs OF
the party, alleging bossism, ring rule and
lobby control. and his promise to do away
with these elements should ne become Gov
ernor Altogether the campaign has been
one of more than ordinary "hustling' for
al off wear.

MRS. MILES SPEAKS.
Tells Why Our Soldiers i'm Porto Rico

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Mrs Nelson A.
Miles, wife Of the general commanding the
army, in speaking of her recent trip to Porto
Rico expressed unqualified regret over the
sudden stoppage of hostilties at the most
important juncture of the campaign lust
as the troops reached camp in one of the
most unhealthy districts of the island

Of the army had just halted for a tenn

was received to cease hostilities There was
no redress, and in spite of the climatic con-
ditions of the camp the men were compelled
TO make the best of it and put up with
bedding on the ground, without even the
protection of the native huts, which are
built upon stills to protect them from con-
tact with the earth. The worst of it is
that until the armistice is concluded these
soldiers, and officers as WELL must remain

When our army reached Ponce it was
early in the morning and breakfast was
smoking on the table and not a sign of a
human being. Everything had been left in
the hurried departure of the Spaniards and
for several days it was thought that the
hospital was empty. The mistake was not

When asked whether she thought the con-

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Habeas corpus pro-

contended it was beyond the power of Con-

therefore unconstitutional. He said further
that if oats and other products were taxed

CONCORD N. H., Sept 13-The Repub-
licans of New Hampshire held their state
convention here to-uay. with more than
seven hundred delegates present. Hon.
Frank w. Rollins of Concord, was nomi-
mated for Governor. The platform reaffirms
the financial plank of the st. Louis plat
form of 1885, and commends the administra-
ton OF President Mckinley and the sue
cessfuI conduct of the war with Spain,
which the resolutions declare was "a war
promoted by the noblest sentiments of hui
mainly" The platform says further that the
war has oblterated sectionalism and ce-
mented the Union of States as never before
in our history and has brought about bet
ter understanding between the two great
EngliSh-speaking nations of the globe.
The platform continues: I'VE approve of
the increase of the navy, the upbuilding of
our merchant marine, the enlargement of
the regular army to meet the present re-
quirements of the country, the construction
of canal connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific oceans, the annexation of Hawaia and
Porto Rico. the provision of a free and
stable government for Cuba and it's ultimate
annexation. While we reaffirm the Monroe
doctrine, we favor such disposition of the
Philippines as will best promote the grow
ing commercial and political interests of
the United states, ex.-nguish the sovereign
ty of Spain and make good our obligations
to the peoples of lose islands"

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS.
They Favor Currency Reform and De-

They Favor Currency Reform and De-
mand Abolition of War Taxes.
DOVER, Del, Sept. 13-The Democratic
state convention met here this afternoon
and selected the following ticket: Congress
man, l.. Irving Handy (renomnated); state
treasurer, William NJ. Ross (renominated);
state auditor, Dr. L. A. III. Bishop. The
platform declares the devotion of the DEM
ocratic party of Delaware to all the cardinal
principles of the Democratic faith. which
have come down from Jefferson and jack
son. The administration of national affairs
under President Mckinley is declared to be
a disappointment, and 1t is set forth that
prosperity has not returned, that trusts,
combines and mOnopoeS have grown, and
that no measures of economy have been in
troduced.
Concerning the money question the plat
form SAYS: Tine necessity of reforming our
currency system is admitted on all sides,
and confessed by the President himself (who
sent a monetary commission abroad to con-
suit foreign governments and asked for the
appointment of another monetary commits
sion to consider the question here at home),
but, Notwithstanding the admitted evils of
our present complicated, illogical and in
furious currency system, the republican
Congress and administration have taken no
positive and effective measures for reform.
The inequalities of the war revenue act
are condemned. The people are congratu-
lated upon the termination of the war with
SPAIN and demand is made that the bur-
dens of war taxation be lessened as quickly
as possible. A rigid and impartial investi-
cation Of the conduct of the War Depart
ment is demanded.
