FOR NEXT YEARS CAMPAIGN
Conferences Proposed by Leaders of the
Republican Party.
Mr.. Hanna's Position on Trusts he
Heved by Some to Necessitate
His Retirement.

A movement is already on foot among
republicans of influence in the party to get
rid of Senator Hanna as party leader De-
fore the presidential campaign of 1900
opens An effort is to be made to secure
united action on the part of number OF
men of sufficient prominence IN the party
to give their word weight with the Presl-
dent Men who have very strong feeling on
the subject hesitate to go to the president
individually to make any suggestions as 10
Hannas unpOpularity, and thus far, II Is
understood, they have confined themselves
to broad hints on the subject to the ffesl-
dent 1t is felt by these men. however, 10
be necessary, in the interests OF the party
that Mr. Hanna should be retired from the
chairmanship of the republican national
committee, and should have no parucipa-
tion, in an official way, with the manage
mcnt of the presidential campaign
The chief reason advanced for Mr.. t1an-
mas retirement is that his declarations CON
Ctrning trusts would make MN purlel
for the party if it is necessary for the pat
form to denounce trusts in general terms,
and tina! his continued presence at the hessd
of the national committee would Keep !He
party constantly on the defensive CONFER
erces for the purpose of organizing To &C.
rid of Hanna are proposed, and there has
started ] siderable CORES correspondence
1t is said that the President nous INA
the victory in Ohio was vindicaton OF
Mr.. Hanna. and thai he still clingS to him
as one of the most capable leaders the
party has had. 1t Therefore requires some
dfni0macy TO inform him of the opinion adj
verse to the ONO senator. II is said now
ever that the purpose to depoSe MI
Hanna is determined. and that Mr.. llama
himself. if not the President. VIII be
brought to understand that his continuance
at the head of the national committee dur
ing the presidential campaign would be
against the Judgment of party leaders.
An effort is to be made to impress II upon
President Mckinley that, while the ad-
ministration was handsomely sustained i'll
Ohio. this was in spite of the opposition to
Mr. Hanna. and that there would never
have been any anxiety about the matter II
il had not been for the feeling against MI
Hanna 1t is being urged that the resent
ment AGAINST Hannaism shown in ONO,
even with the strong sentiment in favor OF
Mckinley to CCunteracJ it, should be ac-
cepted as a warning. and that Mch1h!eE
should not go into the next campaign car

AFFAIRS IN CUBA,

r. G Rathbone, director of posts for
CUBA, is in the city. He came from New
Aofk last night, where he has been o11ite
Ill Tor nearly two weeks with acute gas
tritis. Mr.. Rathbone comes to Washing
ton to confer with the Postmaster General
regarding the postal service in Cuba. To
a reporter of The Star this afternoon Mr.
Rathbone said:
Affairs In Cuba are prosperous. The peo-
PIE are catching up in their business SLOWLY
10 DE sure, but there is an air of content
ment and feeling of security among the
people that has not been known before
They trust the Americans implicitly. Our
money order system is the best evidence
OF that. Why since we took possession of
the island business of over 10000 900 In
money orders alone has been done. You
know we have a domestic system there,
and it has proven great blessing to the
people. Under Spanish rule it cost any
where from per cent to 10 per cent 10
SEND money over the island. Our charges
are one-third of l per cent. Under Spanish
RUE ihere was never any certainty that the
postmaster upnn whom the money order
was drawn would pay the same. on every
hand | hear expressions of grateful thanks
giving for the Americans. The men Of
property and all the Spanish and business
men want annexation with the United
States. The crops this year have been
good although the recent storm in one of
the provinces did great deal of damage"
Several reports have connected Major
RathbOne's mission with the civil govern
orship of the island and three leading Ha-
vana papers have indorsed him for that
post. While the plans undoubtedly con-
template general conference on the con-
stitutiOn of affairs in Cuba, Major Rath-
bore said he kne" nothing about the civil
governor appointment beyond the news
