WASHINGTON, June S-Vice President
Hobart win not be candidate for renomi-
nation before the next Republican conven-
tion- Mr.. Hobart's retirement is due to his
physical incapacity TO stand the hard work
incidental to a presidential campaign and
ii is said here. good authority. that he
will shortly announce his retirement from
official life. If William Mckinley could
have his say. Mr.. Hobart would be hiL
| running mate next year. The President.
however. is aware of the fact that the pres
ent Vice President. on account of his physi-
cal condition, will not permit the use OF his
| name on the presidential ticket in 1900 The
positive retirement of Hobart naturally ex-
cites interest in the candidate likely TO be
selected to succeed the New Jersey states
man. At this time the names OF only three
men are talked of by national politicians
here. Governor Roosevelt is one. though
Senator Platt may make ii impossible for
him to secure the nomination Senator
Lodge. of Massachusetts. is looked upon as
favorable candidate by the administra-
| tion men. However. the Massachusetts sem
ator may consider that Ii will be unwise for
him to go upon the ticket with Mr. Nc
Kinley, but the man whom he succeeded in
nominating and electing Governor of Mas
sachusetts, namely, Mr.. Wolcott, Will be
Lodges choice for the vice presidential
nomination. The fact that Mr. Hobart Is
really out of the race, gives MIR. Mckinley
and his associates considerable worry. 1t
will be months to come before Mr.. McKin-
ley is able to designate the man he would
prefer to make the presidential race with
him. sss
The rumor telegraphed broadcast from
Washington to the effect that Senator
Hanna would retire from the chairmanship
of the national campaign committee is Wig
orously denied by that gentleman Senator
Hanna, accompanied by his family, viii go
to Aix-les- -Bains, to remain until the sena-
tor completely RECEIVERS his health Mean
time the Ohio politician does not propose
to worry over business or political affairs.
He to-day denied that he proposed to sur
render his position at the head Of the Re-
publican campaign committee. He did not
deny. however, that he would not be the
Republican campaign manager in 1000. Mr..
Hanna realizes that he cannot successfully
assume his old place and. before leaving
| for Europe will consult very freely regard
| ing the man to be selected to place Presi-
| dent Mckinley in the White House for the
second time. -

When the State Department closed for
the day 1t was with the expectation on the
part of the officials that the modus vivendi
which has been under consideration In Lon
don will be completed and signed to-mor-
row. The signature. probably. will take
place in London, as between Ambassador
Choate and Lord Salisbury. unless the pro-
gramme is changed over night Assuming
that the agreement Is on the exact line OF
the instructions sent. the modus will fix
the provisional boundary line between
Alaska and Canada at three points near the
head OF the Lynn canal. These VIII be suf-
ficent, Il is expected. TO prevent any
further conflicts. These points are as fol-
lows: On the White pass. at the old Cana
dian customs house. In the pass; on the
Chicoot pass. likewise at the Canadian
customs house, which has existed for the
past eighteen months; on the Dalton trail.
just above the Indian village OF Kiuckwan
The first two points were easily fixed. The
hitch OF moment has been over the location
of the divisional point on the Dalton trail
The point named Is at the head OF canoe
navigation and fifteen miles above tide

strenuously TO reach. The modus provides
only for a temporary delinitation. but there
Is good reason 10 believe that the lines II
will establish in the end will be accepted
by both parties as the best possible solu-
ton OF the vexed boundary issue
