matter admitted being the bearer of a
message but said that it was purely a
personal one from Secretary Hay
That it was more than some ordinary
dalibera ton was apparent from the fact
that Mr. Kellogg reached the Union
League shortly before II o'clock and was
Immediately taken to the President. He
then left and went TO the hotel, the re-
ception coming to an end very shortly

HANNA'S TELEGRAM
To Mckinley Becomes the Subject of
Comment in the House.

Washington, Jan. H.-In the house yes
terday Mr.. De Almond Dem, MOI got
the floor and submitted some sarcastic
comment on the newspaper reports of the
election of Senator Hanna at Columbus
He read the telegram sent by Mr. Hanna
to President Mckinley: God reigns and
the Republican party still lives
The telegram, said he, was unique.
That God reigned there was no room to
doubt; therefore, the latter clause of the
telegram was the more wonderful. With
cutting irony he proceeded to read and
comment on some of the kilograms of
congratulation sent to Mr.. Hanna from
this city, including that of President Nc
Kinley. Commenting on the presidents
telegram, he asked how the return of
Senator Hanna could be beneficial to the
country, save as an example to be avoid
ed He said in the course of his remarks
that Senator Hanna was the truest, best
exponent and representative of modern
Republfcanism.
Mr.. Diamonds remarks brought Mr..
NIahoney CRep., n. W to his feet. In
brief but emphatic speech he replied to
the remarks of the Missourian.
In 1922 he said, the American people
witnessed the spectacle of the Demo-
cratic party meeting in its national con-
vention, and, despite the protests of New
York state, nominating for the presidency
of the United States a man repudiated by
his own commonwealth. It was the bosses
of the Democratic party who perpetrated
this outrage upon the rank and file of
the Democratic masses. During the sue
ceeding four years the friends of Mr..
Cleveland, by bond issues and by other
methods abhorrent to the conscience of
the people. found their financial schemes
smiled upon through the influence of this
government This lesson was not lost
upon the bosses of the Republican party.
In 1896 bosses who had debauched the
legislation of sovereign states and turned
the legislatures of those states into the
cash registers for their own schemes met
together in a bosses pool to syndicate
the presidency of the United States, be-
cause it was known that owing to the fact
that the conscience of the Democratic
party had risen up and hurled down to
oblivion Cleveland and CIevelandism. the
Republican party in all human probable
ity would be victorious at the ensuing
election. So these bosses gathered to-
gether to syndicate the presidency of the

"CUT OFF THEIR HEADS"
A Missouri Bee-Keeper Tells How to
Kill Chickens.

Emerson T. Abbott of St Joe, Mo,
who is an eminent authority on bees,
gave the agriculturists a lively talk
about hens last night. It was in the
nature of a lecture, pleading for re-
forms, especially in the care of chickens
and proper food and urged the farmers
IF they want good eggs, to raise good
hens"
Mr.. Abbott's vivid description of the
sensations his Olfactory nerves expert
enced while attempting to eat eggs pur-
chased at a grocery store in Missouri,
was especially nauseating and could
not by the farmers at the meeting be
received with appreciation, because
such a susceptible activity and aroma
are not characteristic Of the Kansas
hens products.
"'F'umigate! Fumigatei" is Mr.. Abb
bolts watchword. fClose the hen
house." he exclaimed, land fumigate
hens and ALL
He advises pure food and water and
good care, if the Kansas farmer desires
to provide his table with pure, whole
some, healthful eggs.
He also took a decided stand against
the prevailing practice of wringing off
the heads of chickens intended for Sun
day dinners.
1.-The proper way to kill chickens is
to cut off their heads was his parting
advice.
