HANNA TALKS,
SAYS THERE WILL BE NO WAR
 WITH SPAIN.
The Ohio Senator No Doubt Voices
 the Policy of the Administration

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23-Sensational reports having been circulated that Senator Hanna had expressed the belief that 8 conflict between the United States and Spain was immi- nent, the attention of the Senator was called to them. He emphatical- ly denied them, saying:
 "I do not believe there is anything in the Maine incident or In our rela- tions to Spain regarding Cuba that will lead to war. I am firmly of the opinion that the explosion of the Maine was due to accident, and I think the naval court of inquiry will reach the same conclusion"
 "And Congress will do notbing?"
 "What is there for Congress- to do? There is no information except a lot of sensational stories upon which to base all this talk of war. Even the Secretary of the Navy has no infor- nation, and as long as the President and Secretary of the Navy and all the rest of the cabinet keep cool and quiet, there is no need for the rest of the United States to get alarmed.

WE'LL REMOVED.
AND AND MR. ". D. LEARN APPOIN- TED RECEIVER 66FiFYHE 66F |
 HoNNET DRY GOODS co.
Stock Bid in by ". c. Pope, Former Clerk sof the Con-
 cern, for $17,S50.

The chambers of the Chancellor, Judge James F. Robinson, presented an animated scene thIs morning, the cause being the contest for the appointmen of another receiver for the Honnet Dry Goods Go. Mon day Messrs. Austin & Taylor filled an intervention in the original suit which prayed for a receiver for the Honnett Dry Goods Co.,, and the in- tervention asked that the receiver appointed be removed aEd another substituted. Messrs. Austin & Fay Tor had hard contest where so many were interested, but carried it single handed. Today the Chan cellor decided that the present re- ceiver, MT. Chas. Veil, should be removed, it being shown that he was an interested sarty, being an endor- ser on the paper of the Honnett Dry Goods Company and also a di- rector in the Merchants & Planters Bank.
 The statutory law governing in- solvent corporations provides that no interested party shall be made receiver MT. ". D. Hearn, cashier of the Bank of Pine Bluff, was ap- pointed receiver of the concern. He will proceed at once to take another inventory of the stock of goods.
 The stock was sold at public auc- tion by W. D. Hearn, receiver, at 2:2Q o'clock this afternoon in front of the company's place of business. The bidding from the start was spirited. MT. Hearn's ready wit made him a model auctioneer.
 There were five bidders in the field, MT. Cbas. Veil and the Pine Bluff Mercantile Go. being the local bidders besides Mr. Pope. At 3:15 o'clock the stock was struck off to MT. W. c. Pope tor $17, ,350, which is about !65 per cent of the invoice of the stock. The sale was made sub ject to tbe approval of the court. The firms liabilities amounted to about $37, ,O0e.
 Besides the amount realized from the sale of the stock the creditors will also realize something from the booR accounts of the company.

HIS OPPONENTS WILL CARRY THE FIGHT AGAINST HIM
 INTO THE SENATE.
CHARGES PREFERRED.
It is Not Probable the Senate Will Refuse Confirmation on Ac-
 count of His Color.
Special to the Arkansas Democrat.

Special to the Arkansas Democrat,
 WASHINGTON, D. C., February B. An effort will be made to prevent the confirmation of Ferd Havis as post master at Pine Bluff. His opponents are not discouraged at their failure to prevent his appointment by the President, but will carry their fight against him into the Senate. Wheth- CT they will be more successful there is very uncertain, to say the least. It will perhaps depend on how grave are the charges they can bring against him. It is not probable that the senate will refuse confirmation on account of his color. Our Sena- tcrs have received telegrams and let ters from several prominent citizens of Pine Bluff protesting against the confirmation. At the request of Sen ator Berry the postoffiee committee held up the nomination until oppor- tunity could be had for filing charges. Senator Berry received q letter this evening saying that charges had been forwarded to the committee lby the same mail. The nature of the charges are not known here yet, but Ffhey call attention to the papers in the case on file iosssss:S sn ssse gee de partment, and ask tf,e .ss.eare s1s sase 3 inspect them. Both oena.s.- ,..--sss, grip 2 and Senator Berry say they will 55r low the wishes of the people of piaa Bluff in the matter. Senator Rorns said this evening:

|OOKS LIKE SPANISH DESIGN b EVIDENCE THAT THE FIX pLosION WAS ACCIDENTAL. lvestigation of the Battleship Maine Shows that the Mag
 azine Did Not Ex-
 pIode.

Havana, Feb 23-(Via Key WesD Hhe situation which may be changed hs any moment by fresh discoveries, unay be summed up when this dis bateh is sent this afternoon, sub- stantially as follows:
 The divers having discovered cas- es of brown hexagonal powder for 4he ten-inch guns unexploded and
 Believing also that others unex- sploded will be found in the ten-inch bnagazine on the starboard side for Sward, the conviction grows that Sthis magazine did not blow up.
 If this be so and many have in sisted from Ithe first that it is, the further conviction is forced that the explosion that wrecked the Maine came from the outside on the port bow. As previously wired, the main portion of the wreck, as seen from above and not from below was blown to starboard.
 The highest American officials here are confident that Gen. Rlalccc and other hlgn spanish officials had no knowledge direct or indirect of the conception or execution of plot to blow up the Maine if such a plot existed, but they believe the junior Spanish officers who from the nature of things are more convers- ant with modern explosives than their elders and superiors, were at the bottom of the disaster if there were any outside agencies.
 It is pointed out that it would not be impossible to s'ant Q mine of wet and dry gun co on near where soreign war vessel was directed to anchor, such mine communicating with an electric battery on shore. It is regarded as an interesting
 sint that the Maine for the first time during her stay in the harbor lay at the particular spot where she was at the time of the catastrophe and it is said, though not officially verified, that the Maine was the first foreign war vessel moored to this particular buoy since the troubles in Cuba became acute.
 All stories as to lax discipline on the Maine are without shadow of truth. On the contrary, Captain Sigsbee was complained of by some of the men for the rigidity of his rules, and the strictness with which he enforced them. Moreover, the Maine has been in commission for years, anu has never had 9 serious accident until she anchored in this quiet harbor.

Ties of All Kinds.

There is hardly anything that may not be worn now for ties for women. There are black satin ties, one thickness of the satin about four inches wide and hemmed all around with 8 marrow hem !; ties of the same style i'll plaids or al- most any plain color, all to be worn passing either once or twice around the neck and then tying with an ordinary bow and ends in front. There arc the stocks of all kinds and descriptions, with tho four-in- hand tic front or the immensely long and wido ties which re- ceive the anathemas of the men as they arc worn by women, with uncovered ends; there arc ribbons of all descrip- tions-plaids, plain red, plain green, any color-passing twice around the collar and tied in bow or like four in-hand; there are the muil lace ties of all descriptions, and there are the rid ing ties of flannel. These last are very pretty, and because they are called rid ing ties it does not follow that they may not be worn for any kind of street wear. The bright scarlet is the most stylish, but the lighter colors of those soft fan nel shades of blue and pink are very be- coming. Red takes the lead in all kinds of neckwear, and it is hard pressed by green. New York Times.
