CAMPAIGN MANAGER HANNA.
Says He Has No Intention of Resign
ing From the National Committee.

Cleveland. o.. June 7.-Senatcr Hanna,
Chairman of the National Republican Com
mittee. stated tonight that the story eman-
ating from Washington that he would not
be the campaign manager in 1900 was 4
pure fabrication.
Il expect to call the national committee
TO order" said Mr.. Hanna. 1T is not for
me to say whether or net l shall be the
chairman Of the next four years. At pres
ent, however, l have no intention of re-
signing"
1t is regarded here as absolutely certain
that Senator Hanna will remain at the head
OF the national committee.
National Committeeman H. C. Payne,
of Wisconsin. said yesterday afternoon, rel
atiye to Senator Hanna's alleged intended
resignation as chairman Of the Republic
can committee: While 1t may be true
Mr. Hanna desires TO give up the chair
manship, I do not know that he has said
anything on the subject to members of
the committee; but l can say that IL he
does resign it will be very much against
the wishes of the committee and the party.
There is no question but that his health
Is impaired, but | do not believe this will
prevent his entering vigorously into the

The New York World yesterday print
ed story to the effect that the Hon.
John R. Proctor, President of the Civil
Service Commission, is considered by the
Administration to be guilty of lese majestic.
in failing to hail Mr.. McKinley's order of
return to the spoils system as the greatest
benefit that good and great man has be-
slowed on the country. The World even
goes so far as to say that Mr.. Procter's
removal has been seriously considered by
the Cabinet. If true, this statement is
rather surprising. The many friends of the
Civil Service Commission President, who
have known him for years as a thoroughly
consistent civil service reformer, have been
only astonished that he should seem to
accept Mr.. McKinley's unblushing and de-
tant backsliding with the degree of equa-
nimity he has seemed TO display with re-
gard to it. The natural thing for him. as
well as his colleagues, to have done, would
have been to resign in a body. on the
publication OF an order which reduced them
all to the condition of insignificant and
useless puppets. That they did not do so
ought TO dispose OF the charge of lese
maieste, at least.

An interesting communication appears in
the Springfield Republican" from Prof.
Dean C. Worcester. of the Philippine Com
mission. The Republican" gave circula-
tion to the story OF one of the camp liars
who unfortunately exist in all armies. to
the effect that women and children were
killed by the Americans at Malabon. 1t
seems queer that any American should be
apparently eager TO believe that his coun-
trymen have been guilty of barbarity equal
to that of Spain. but certain newspapers
and orators appear to have leaning that
way. This is what Prof. Worcester says
| was personally present on the occasion in
question. The truth OF the matter is tina; Malabon
was never bombarded, despite the" fact that it
was within easy reach OF the fleet and the field
guns The town had been Abandoned by the ma
tives before our approach. except Tor lot OF
sharpshouters. who had positions in the swamp
on the outskirts One Ho,chkiss and one S2-inch
gun were fired on them. Our troops first moved
10 the north without entering the town. Tlr
insurgents were driven out the following day
while trying to burn the place No women or
children killed; there were none there to
be killed

Actual alarm is felt at the State De-
partment on account of the strange dis
appearance of the Hon. Bellamy Storer,
United States Minister to Spain. No di-
rect communication has been had from
him for a month. His whereabouts is
a mystery. 1t is feared that he may have
been captured by bandits on his way to
Madrid. The Government has asked cur
Ambassador at Paris to send out tracer
after him. 1t is a most singular case. We
presume that about tomorrow some of the
New York papers will be offering rewards
for Minister storer dead or alive" and
no questions asked"

The Use of words.


By way of relieving the mind from the
consideration of grave and weighty prob
lens of the day, the New York Times" is
trying to decide how large the ordinary
mans vocabulary ought to be- Some of
the correspondents of that paper think
that three thousand words are enough 1t
is not known how they arrive at this
conclusion, whether by counting or by
some mathematical process allied 20 the
methods of algebra or trigonometry, but
three thousand seems to be the limit
The size of a mans vocabulary depends,
OF course, largely upon the business that
he is in. If he is a street car conductor.
his language during the great part of the
day is made up of repetitions of few
phrases. If he is lawyer, he is engaged
in saying the same thing in SO many diff
ferent ways that he uses a remarkable va
riety of words. II he is mule driver, his
language is copious and picturesque. but
it is mainly made up of words which are
not found in the books of rhetoric. Three
thousand words would be a scant allow
ance for some men, while others would
HOl huoN Wndl 10 40 Win Hall as many
The size of mans vocabulary is, gen.
orally speaking, a good test of his adapt
ability and capacity for progress. When
you find man with all his ideas tied up
in little bundles and labeled on the out
side, you find a man with language which
is finished. He has selected the words
which will express his ideas. and there is
no room in his mind for new names or new
notions. When, on the contrary, you see
a grey-haired, bright-eyed old gentleman
taking an eager interest in all that goes
on around him, and rapidly assimilating
new theories, even if they do not exactly
agree with those OF his younger days-at
any rate giving careful consideration TO
novel ideas-you find man who picks up
with zest and uses with understanding all
the new phrases coined from day to day.
mans speech is himself.

OF the ablest lawyers of other states.
These points will be brought out in the

Second-Under the constitution the
government has no power to demonetize

Its duty is to emit the silver dollars at its

Third-After the stamping of the dol
