POLITICAL GOSSIP.

It would seem that Mark Hanna is
very much disturbed over the political fu-
ture. If all reports are true. he appears
Roosevelt for governor of New York
might, in the event of his election, make
him a Presidential possibility two years
hence. This, of course, would be dis
astrous to the political fortunes of Sena-
tor Hanna as well as those of President
Mckinley. Mr.. Hanna, with Col. Roose-
welt in the White House, would be not
unlike Othello-practically without occu-
patton.
Democrats familiar with the situation
claim that Senator Hanna has become
unduly excited upon the subject, as there
is no danger of Col. Roosevelt's election
If he should be nominated. Senator Hanna
wants the coast clear in 1900 for Mr..
Mckinley. Aside from Col Roosevelt,
there does not seem TO be anyone at the
presen, time sufficiently above the sur
face to warrant the belief even of a
possibility of a nomination against Presi-
dent Mckinley. Senator Hanna is doubt
gerous things to combat. While Senator
Hanna has no war record of his own,
as he sent a substitute during the Civil
War, he knows other men who have
reached eminence just because of their
having war records Col. Roosevelt did
not send a substitute-he went in per-
son. He led the charge at San Juan
Heights, was promoted to colonelcy,
and is now receiving the plaudits of a
grateful people and these signs of ap-
proval are calculated to disturb Senator
Hanna. He looks upon the future with
heart bowed down.

There is some feeling among Democrats
that Senator White of California, who is
chairman of the Democratic CongressIon-
al committee, is neglecting his duty in
not being here and giving more attention
to the management of the affairs OF the
committee. AS is well known, Senator
White was very hostile to the declaration
of war. He was about the only man on
his side of the Senate who took such ~ex-
treme views on that subject. He also op-
posed the annexation of Hawaii and was
regarded as being opposed to nearly
every measure that a very large percent
age of the Democrats were In favor of.
Since Senator White left for his home iE
California on the adjournment af ',oB-
gress he has not returned 10 Washington.

that he would be able 20 devote 4 greet

however, that the worf, OF the committee
is suffering because of his absence. There
are number of Democrats, however,
who believe that the senator should be
here attending to the duties of the office
to which he was elected.

The attempt to make Col. John Jacob
Astor a candidate for Congress in one
of the New York districts is very much
upon the same plan as that being tried

Word comes from Indiana that William
ID. Bynum. late chairman of the national
committee of the gold Democrats, and re-
Gently a convert to the ranks of the Re-
ment under the Administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley. Mr.. Bynum has again
taken up his residence in Indianapolis.
and il is understood that when the time
comes he will become actively engaged
as a Republican politician and hopes 10
have things in such shape in 1890 that he
will be given the nomination to Congress
from the indianapolis district.
A vigorous political fight is being waged
In the Seventh Alabama district now
represented by Mr.. Howard, Populist.
The Democrats have nominated a very
strong man, and they hope to be able to
relegate Mr.. Howard and his Populist
friends to the tribunal of history. In
formation comes from the executive COM
mittee of Alabama that the next delega-
ton In Congress will be solidly Demo
cratic, with perhaps the exception of
the Mobile district, where there is a
contest between the two Taylors for
the Democratic nomination which is like
ly to cause a great deal of dissension,
and IL is feared that either a Populist
or Republican will slip in. There will
be no opposition whatever to Gen. Wheel
er. While in all other districts the Pop
ulists and Republicans have made nomi-
nations, none will be made against him.
His record in the war has been SO
gratifying to his constituents, regardless
of party, that it has been thought best
to give him the field free from oppo-
nents.

Nine Hundred Spaniards Lost.

The Hong Kong Daily Press is au-
thority for the statement that 900
Spaniards, including sixteen priests,
lost their lives several weeks ago
when the Spanish gunboat Leyte
was captured by a vessel belonging
to Admiral Dewey's squadron. The
Leyte had been stationed in an ad-
joining island, where the insurgents
were numerous and aggressive. The
latter were gaining ground rapidly,
causing 900 Spaniards to board these
sailing vessels in an endeavor to es-
cape from the natives who would
massacre them.
The gunboat undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila bay ,
where the Spanish aboard them were
to surrender to A,ImIral Dewey if
they did not succeed in landing some
where and reaching Manila under
cover of darkness. After the Leyte
had towed them down Pampangas
river and some distance along that
coast, heavy storm came up, max
it necessary for the gunboat to cut
her tows loose and proceed to Ma
Mia for assistance. Before getting
there she was captured by the Amer
leans the next day, and the Ameri-
can vessel was despatched to find
the three transports, but failed to
discover any trace of them. The ma
tives on the adjoining coast say they
saw nothing of any vessels. The
Hong Kong press finally reached the
conclusion that the vessels founder
ed with all on board.

Buried the Hatchet.

Governor Barnes and Dennis T.
Flynn met this afternoon with Frank
H. Greer as arbitrator. and reached
an understanding by which they
agreed to hurry the hatchet and work
together for the success of the Re-
publican party in Oklahoma.
Governor Barnes said that he
would support Mr.. Flynn for con-
gress; that he thought more of being
a Republican when his party needed
his services than he did of getting
revenge for an evening. He felt,
however. that Flynn had treated him
unfairly. Flynn thought as much of
Governor Barnes, but they discussed
their past differences without finding
it necessary to call in the police, and
parted with the mutual declaration
that the Republican nominee should
be the next delegate to congress from
Oklahoma.
Flynn will begin his campaign in
about ten days. He has been invited
to make his opening speech at Wat
onga, in Blaine county, where he
began his campaign in 1895. He may
accept the invitation. The secretary
of the territorial committee will
probably be selected from Oklahoma.

THE AM1TY LAND COMPANY

In writing Of the resources Of the
Arkansas valley, 1t is impossible to
avoid mention Of the Amity Land COM
pany. On the first page the water
supply systems haye been fully dealt
with. and, land being necessary as we'll
as water, the Amitv Land company
was organized as . sister institution to
the Great Plains Water company, to
acquire the land while the Water com
pany acquired the water. These two
companies work together and are under
the same management. The method
adopted is that the Water company
'locates" or attaches by water deed
one of it's water rights to each piece OF
land owned BY the Amity Land comps-
ny, and the land and water are sold
together BY the Water company.
Practically all the choice lands that
are irriRable by water from the Great
Plains Water Compsny's system have
been acquired by the Amity Land com
panv. Great care has been used In
selecting the lands so acquired, and
special lawyers have been employed to
examine ana pass on every title. In
this way . puich aser secures spec
iallv selected piece Of land with title
specially examined. and with : Great
Plains water right.
Each purchaser of land from the
Amity Land company is given an alb
stract Of title free Of charge, 80 that
