A New York society dame, who is an ar
dent upholder of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, owns little
fox terrier of which she is exceedingly fond.
A man who called on her the other day was
admiring the dog and asked her mistress
how she, with all her humane theories, could
have allowed the cruel dog fancier to cut off
Snaps tail and ears to the fashionable de-
gree of brevity.. The dame drew herself up
and replied, with some hauteur:
My dear sir, Snap expected it. Every
thoroughbred fox terrier expects to have
his tail and ears shortened" And that
humbled man went away saying to himself:
That's the first time I ever thought Of
'noblesse oblige, as applying to fox ter
riers. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

CHAIRMAN HANNA
Says He Will Be in the 1900 Cam

NEW YORK, December 1.-THE
World tomorrow will publish the fol-
lowing interview with Senator Mark
Hanna:
If anybody thinks am out of active

never yet shirked duty of this kind.
DO you think man like me who
has gone SO far in this thing called
politics and who has worked so faith
fully for his party, would crawl out
just before another national campaign
when responsibilities have grown
heaviest and every party leader is in
honor bound to do all he can for the
cause? Does anybody suppose ! would
put myself before the country on such
propositions"
''I'll tell you about this chairman
ship Of the Republican national COM
mittee. You see, am not member
of that committee; | am simply chair
man of it. My term will not expire
until after I have called the national
convention of Republicans in 1900.
when that convention meets,
shall have to be there as chairman Of
the national committee and make my
report. Then the convention will pro-
coed with its business. After this is
accomplished the national committee
will be selected by the delegates from
the various States. This committee
will then meet and elect chairman.
81 simply ask you, who can speak for
me at this early date and say am out
of politics and have declined to ac-
cept another term as chairman of that
committee? 1t is simply folly to say
man declines thing before the pos
sibility of his accepting or declining it
has arisen.
Il certainly shall not withdraw from
the craftsmanship of the national COM
mittee before my time Is up. You can
put that down as sure"
But, Senator, it is reasonable to sup
pose that the Craftsmanship will be of

Now stop. How do you know 1t wifl

ically. 1t was a rough road, that cam
paign, there is no doubt about that
But, to speak frankly. / deserve no
more credit for the Republican victory
in Ohio than my share. There were
Others who did hard work, too.
1T would be an ungraceful thing for
me to discuss whether or not l will ac-

Republican national committee. It
would be audacious to discuss an offer
that has not been made"

LITTLE LIGHT
Thrown Upon Mysterious Death
in Brooklyn by tho Victims Hus-
bands Statement.

NEW YORK, December "A statement
made to-day by ]. A. Weinberg, a leading
member of the Brooklyn bar, threw little
light on the death of his wife who is sup
posed to have died of asphyxiation. The
opinion of the coroner's physician that
she had been dead forty-eight hours be-
fore he was notified, lent mystery to the
case. Mr.. Weinberg was at the home of
his wife's family when he gave out the
statement, which was in part as follows:
I'VE lived cheerfully together and had
our plans for the future. We were in the
habit of sleeping in different rooms.
Tuesday night we slept together. 1t was
Wednesday morning that l saw the last
of her. Wednesday night l dined out
didn't return until half-past u that night
l went to my own room and slept there
that night. Thursday morning l did not
pay any attention to my wife. We had an
understanding that We would dine that
day with our respective families. L dined
with my family and l supposed she would
go to hers. l went to Manhattan after

Gen. Joe Wheeler, in a personal letter
received here to-day, dated at Angeles,

There are more than twenty different
tribes in this island and very few of
them would submit to Aguinaldo's
rule Aguinaldo and his generals would
like to govern because it would give
them great power and many of his SOL
diers like the war because for the first
time in their lives they have authority
to carry gun. They live by taking
what they want from the people. Many
of them are robbers who rob defense
less people of their money and some
times murder them. If we should with
draw there would be warfare and an
archy in the islands and the well-to-do
people would get some strong govern
ment to come and take control.

WASHINGTON, D. c., December e.
The Democrats of the House of Repre-
sentatives, at their caucus held in the
hall of representatives, this afternoon,
selected Representative James D. Rich
ardson, of Tennessee, as their candi-
date for Speaker, after spirited con-
test, which laster through six ballots.
This carries with it the Democratic
leadership on the floor.
Mr.. Richardson has served fourteen
years in the House, and is the oldest
Democratic member in point of service
except Mr.. McRae, of Arkansas. The
candidates against Mr.. Richardson were
Representatives De Almond, of Mis-
souri,; Bankhead, of Alabama, and Sui
yer, of New York. Representative
Hay, of Virginia, was elected chairman
of the caucus by vote of II to 62
cast for Mr.. McRae, of Arkansas.
At the end of the first roll call the
vote stood: Richardson, IS; De Ar
mona, 40, and SulZer, 70.
Before the second roll call began Mr..
Sulzer withdraw and asked his friends
to vote for Richardson. There was a
general stampede to the Tennesseean,
and he was nominated on the sixth bal
lot, receiving 80 votes against Al for
De Almond, and two. for Sulzer The
nomination was then made unanimous.
Mr.. Richardson, who was in the ways
and means committee room, was escort
ed to the hall by Messrs. Ball, of I'exas;
Carmack, of Tennessee, and Sulzer, of
New York, and made felicitous speech
thanking his colleagues for the honor
they had conferred upon him. Owing
to the lateness of the hour, he said he
would not do more than return his pro-
found thanks, trusting that he had
proper appreciation of the great re-
sponsibilities placed upon him by the
action of the caucus.
The following candidates for House
officers were then selected: Clerk,
James Kerr, Pennsylvania; Sergeant
alarms, ex-Representative Brookshire,
Indiana; Doorkeeper, Henry Moler,
Illinois, and Postmaster, George L.
Browning, Virginia. The caucus also
selected the following Democrats to fill
the four special positions allowed the
minority party in the House:
Special employee, Col. Isaac R. Hill,
of Ohio; Special Messengers, Ewing T.
Bland, of Missouri, a son of the late
Representative Bland, of Missouri, and
FELTON, B. Knight, of Georgia; Special
Page James English, of California.
A resolution was adopted, on motion
of Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, instructing Mr..
Richardson to confer with Speaker
Henderson and request a larger Demo-
cratic representation on committees. In
the last Congress the minority were al
lowed six men on each committee. They
now desire seven. Mr.. Roberts, of
Utah, was present and participated in
the caucus. He voted for Mr.. Richard
son for Speaker.

THE FRANKLIN.
Investigation Into the Syndicates
Affairs Shows That Miller Got
Barely Half a Million.

NEW YORK, December 2-1nyesti-
cation Of Miller's Fraklin syndicate
shows that the total amount of money
that passed through it's hands barely
reaches half a million. This is shown
by the check books containing the divi-
dend checks that were to have been
mailed on November %, the day after
Miller's flight. There were S,166 of
these dividend checks, representing a
total amount of $59, 269.79. The inter-
est paid being 10 per cent per week,
100000 in round figures, was all that
Miller could possibly have got away
with.
A letter to a deposition was also
found, revealing plan, which if car
ried into effect, would have greatly in
creased the income of the syndicate
This was an announcement that after
the proposed incorporation of the COM
pany on December 2, no deposits less
than $50 would be received and all
principals under that amount then on
hand must either be raised or with
drawn. At least third of the deposits
were for sums under $50 and it is safe
to say that a mapority of them would
have been raised to the required sum-
Boston and its suburbs, Charlestown
especially, furnished a large quota Of
investors. Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire contributed largely to the
swindler's pile. West Virginia and
Kentucky led in the south, but Ohio
was the banner State" in the union
for these schemers. Money flowed in
from many towns there, making it ap-
pear that money and credulous enthus-
iasm abounded exceedingly in the small
