SENATORHANNA BACK
Talks Of the Impressions Received
While Abroad.
HIS HEALTH HAS IMPROVED
He Also Gives His Views on Cur
rent Political Talk.
DISCUSSES DREYFUS CASE

NEW YORK, September Ex-senator NJ.
A. Hanna arrived here today on the steam
er ST. Louis from Southampton. He said
to reporter that his health had improved
somewhat while he abroad, and that
he had had good time.
MY observations of England" said Mr..
Hanna, "are that it is a country with a
good political system. 1t is fully as good
as ours. and England has built up a gov
ernment full of stability. 1 was delighted
with the outdoor life in England.
Il suppose the English all have their
opinion as to our Philippine policy, but
did not discuss the matter with any one.
OF course / believe that President McNin-
ley will be renominated, but then l have
given my opinion the matter 50 often
that it has now become rather chestnut.
AS to Governor Roosevelt for Vice Presi-
dent 1 certainly will not discuss that posi-
bility.'
Talks of Coming Campaign.
Speaking of the coming campaign Sena-
tor Hanna said: Il think that industrial
conditions and the Philippines will prove
factors in the coming campaign. The Phil
ippine will be made an issue by the
democratic party, but we have nothing to
fear. 1 would soon have so-called anti
expansion made an issue as | would have
the silver question: for silver is Old man
of the sea. / am not afraid of the outcome
among the people. l have reasoned out
that the sound judgment of the people is
that they do not want to bring about a
change. They will not, 1 believe, by their
own act change the conditions of the coun-
try.
THE United States have entered on an
era of prosperity. The promises of the re
publican party have been kept. The com
mercal conditions OF the country are
sound, and this prosperity is based on
confidence. l am confident of a republican
victory.
Il am of the belief that there will be
some difficulty in making the trusts pollt-
ical issue. The republican party is just as
much opposed to the amassing of wealth in
a manner to injure the public as is the
democratic party
Mr. Hanna would not discuss Ohio poll
tics but when McLean's nomination for
governor was mentioned he said: That S
good
Views on Dreyfus Trial.
In speaking of the Dreyfus trial the
senator said:
Il heard no expressions of opinions as to
the Dreyfus trial while abroad, except
those made by Americans. Every Ameri-
can whom 1 met on the other side is heart
lily in sympathy with Dreyfus. but at the
same time it appeared to me there was no
disposition on the part of the Americans
to protest or interfere in the matter. All
this talk of boycotting the Paris exposi-
nonsense. The affair is one which con-
Germs the French nation and is purely
their business. We have no right to in
terfere."

RumOrs Regarding His Opinion of the
Carter Case.

Persistent rumors are afloat that the At
torney General has made up his mind in the
Carter case, and will recommend to the
President that the findings of the court
martial be sustained These reports. while
insstent, do not agree with the Attorney
Generals statement that he would not pass
final Judgment in the case until he had
given Mr.. Wayne McVeagh, Captain Car
ters counsel. another hearing. 1t is sug-
gested however. that the reports may have
come from the Attorney General having
gone through the evidence and found
enough TO satisfy him, at this stage, Of the
guilt of the accused officer.
Captain Carter's friends are strenuous in
their insistence of his innocence, and still
refuse to believe that the reviewing au-
thority will hold him guilty. They say
they are firmly of the belief that the ru-
mors are false, and that the Attorney Cen
eral will sustain the contentious of the
Carter counsel.

New Bankrupt Decision.

The first question of law raised under

court by Judge Bell.nger.
1t seems that M. ID. Wells & Co. last
December, levied on some moneys due to
Nj. K. Hearn, the bankrupt, on an exc
cuIion issued on judgment obtained
prior to tho bankrupt act, and more than
four months prior to the adjudication of
the bankrupt. Sheriff Munkers paid the
money to the trustee in bankruptcy.
Geo. W. Wright, OF this city, as attorney,
filed petition with the tnal court here,
claiming the entire amount for his client,
Al. ID. Wells & Co., but the trial court
decided that the trustee should retain
the moneys for the benefit of all the cred
itors pro rata. Mr.. Wright appealed the
case TO the United States Court, and yes-
terday, United States District Judge
Hon. @. b. Bellirger, handed down de-
cision sustaining Mr.. Wright's construct
ion of the new law, and ordering the
trustee to pay all the money TO NJ. ID.

A Crook Co. Mine.

From the assayer for the Mayflower
Mining company, the Review reporter
learned the facts about the recent strike
in that company's property, news OF
which was noised around town some
time ago. Mr.. Kelman says that the
story as told before, was exaggerated,
and that the new strike consists OF a
body Of ore, 81 inches wide instead of 5
feet and that assays give returns of IS OF.
of silver and OF. gold, total of SIS
per ton, instead of the hundreds report
ed. In our opinion SIS ore is pretty
good stnff.
1t is the intention OF the company to
Systematically deveiope the property be-
fore pushing the reduction OF the ore
further than is necessary TO keep it out
OF the way. We will venture the asser-
tion that more prospecting will be done
in the 0choco district during the coming
summer than has been done in the past
0years.
