London July 1.-Senator Hanna com
England at Windsor, where de wit
messed a military review this afternoon
and caught his first glimpse of the
queen. He has enjoyed London i'm
mensely, and his health has been so
greatly benfited that he has post
week. The Ohio senator has plenty of
good company, including Senators
Lodge, Hoar and Spooner. Samue!
Clemens mark Twain, and Senator
elect Chauncey NJ. Depew, and it is eX-
pected Richard Croker will give him an
outing on the turf during the coming
week.
Il am delighted with outdoor lify in
England" Mr.. Hanna said represen-
tative of the Associated Press to-day,
"and the wise methods born of eX
perience, which teaches the leaders in
politics and business men here to lint
their working hours and take every OPP
portunity for rest and recreation. l

proposition. and | have no doubt the
American people will decide the latter
part as they did three years ago.
My reason for this belief is based
on the fact that the United States is
now entering on renewed era of pros
perity. Every promise of the repubh-
can party has been kept Every pre-
diction has been fulfilled, There is not
a man in the United States to-day out
of work who wants work. This is the
normal condition. Commercial pros
perity is based on confidence, and the
only thing which can destroy the conf
dence now prevailing is a change of ad
ministration.'
Are there persons who manifest a
spirit Of dissa tsfaction with the course
of events in the Philippines" the SEN
ator was asked.
He replied: ITO my mind the only
conditions there are largely of our max
ing, in delaying the annexation bill. So
far as the democratic party is con-
cerned ! believe it was never so much
at sea as a present The South is tena-
cious to its free silver convictions, as
are many of the trans Missouri states.
These are still under the sway of Bry-
ans personal influence and will do all
possible to renominate him and the free
silver platform of 1895. The power and
wealth of the democratic party is CEN
tered in New York. Mr.. Whitney Mr..
Croker and the rest felt they were in
vincible. They entered the Chicago con-
yention overconfident and undisciplined
for the battle. To my mind, these con-
iitions have now changed. The demo-
cratic chairman. Senator Jones, is i'll in
Europe: Bryans only weapon is free
silver and the strength and weakness
of that weapon is now fully realized
Senator German has seen the error OF
his ways, | think, and the Eastern
democrats will make a gr@at effort to
secure a new issue, and, if possible, q
new man.
THE trouble about the antitrust
campaign is that they cannot make
trusts a political issue. So far as amass-
ing wealth in a manner to injure the
public is concerned, the republicans are
just as much opposed ITO it as the dem
ocrats. The democrats would like the

miral Dewey but the commission would
not do and Admiral Dewey is so big
that he would not permit his reputa-
ton as one of the great admiralS of his
time to be used for any political pur'
pose. Assuredly, the democrats are al
sea.
Personally, would like to fight the
old fight against free silver, but, how
ever, the lines of battle are drawn. Pos
sibly you will see the American people
determined to follow the course the
president has laid down"
Just before he left London to-day a
representative of the associated pres
had an interview with Senator DepeW
on the business outlook in America He
said:
Everything is most hopeful from th5
American point of view. The latest adj
vices from the West show a good ave
rage crop and prospects of heavy snip
ments and remunerative rates for th'
American producers.
Looking to Europe one foresees {
big demand from Russia which is II
the throes of a famine. In German!
the crops are patchy and unsatsfac
tory in large areas. In England tn
demand will not run above the aver
age, but political troubles are still Wis
sble here and France may cause none!
