Mark Hanna's Wall,

n , OF many are the men who frown
IN at the outbursts Of enthusiasm
over every mention of Dewey's
name; not many there are who are
joyless amid the splendors of his well
come. Some Americans there are, how
ever, who are actually envious of the
admirals well-earned supremacy in the
affections of the American people A
few of them are so sordd about it that
they cannot control their tongues; MIR.
Hanna, manager of the administration,
oracle for Mr.. Mckinley and real presi-
dent Of the United States, is one of
these.
! Mr.. Hanna's jealousy manifests it
self in a way that is diplomatic, per-
haps, yet not at all clever. He is sorry
for Dewey, he thinks it is too bad that
the public and the press should so fire.
quently link the name of the admiral
with presidential possibilities in the
face of the fact, SO Hanna insists, that
Dewey does not want to be president.
These are Mr.. Hanna's absurd words
they are Pittsburg interview with
the administration Mentor: "Tht
practice of continually pla cling the name
of Admiral Dewey on the list of pros
pective presidential candidates is in
decent. 1t is an insult and a great in
justice to the hero of Manila, as hi
himself has frequently said that moth
ing in the world would induce him t
run for president or any other politica
office. To force upon this brave ant
gallant sailor the need Of again ant
again declaring he will not accept any
political office is, in my opinion, con
temptible and places this man of in
tegrty, stern purpose and determine

pirants for political honors who have

ers." The senator, when asked if Mr..
Mckinley would positively be candi-
date for the presidency again, said
everything pointed that way.
We mayb be sure that this sympathy"
for Dewey is altogether gratuitous and
that the admiral will not feel indebted
to the Ohio boss for this soldering eff
fusion. To begin with, Admiral Dewey
has not said any of the things put in
his mouth by Boss Hanna. He has re-
ferred to the presidency after the man.
ly manner that is characteristic of
him. He has accepted nothing; he has
declined nothing. That the enthusiastic
public should associate his name with
the presidency is the most natural
thing in the world-we warrant that
Dewey does not deem this kindly men,
ton an insult. The current talk is the
more natural in view of the fact that
Dewey's crowning achievement was
planned and executed in absolute indie
pendence of the tin soldiers at Wash
ington The very first information the
presidential clique had in regard to
Dewey's triumph at Manila was that
the thing was done; officialdom's only
relation to the affair was to send it's
post-facto congra tulations.
Of course, Mr. Hanna doesn't relish
this Dewey enthusiasm or these sug-
gestions of the matchless sailor for the
highest honor within the gift of the
American people. Dewey's nomination
would be a case OF nose out of joint for
Hanna-the American public cannot
conceive of situation so incongruous
as a Dewey campaign with Hanna as
it's pilot or a Dewey presidency with
Hanna at the helm.
Perhaps Hanna Is safe. 1t is moi
within the probabilities that the repub-
lican torch bearers will nominate
Dewey He would not need them in order
to get elected; he would not, as the oc-
cupant of the white house, be the
Hanna puppet which Mckinley is and
always will be- For the presidency
Dewey is not Hanna's kind Of man and
the one certain factor in republican
politics is that Hanna doesn't propose
to let go.

Today, Dom Sixto Lopez, the private

10, an interview for the purpose Of ar
ranging to present his credentials to
President Mckinley, and inqniring
when it would meet the convenience Of
the president to meet the Philippine
representative.
The letter OF Senior Lopez further
states that he is instructed by Senior
Agoncillo, in view Of recent develop

undertaking between the American
government and the representative Of
the Philippine people as to the rela-
tions between the respective nations;
such understanding to be reached either

Accompanying the letter is memo

of the Philippine republic, and the
provision for a detailed system Of gov
