ABOUT SENATOR HANNA.

This is the way the Boston Globe gossips about Senator Hannas home life:
 He reaches home after his day ill the senate only in time to dine. Afte, dinner he has usually some social en- gagement, for he is undisguisedly fond
 of society. He is fond of the theater, and enjoys the lighter operas
 In Cleveland he is owner of the
 opera house, which is a pet hobby of
 his. He gives it a great deal of at tention, and all it's bookings are sub ject to his approval When he is ir Cleveland he never fails to appear the theater with Mrs Hanna every Monday evening.
 For books he has no great liking. In the days when he was not quite S. busy he Usedr to read a great many
 light novels for relaxation Now he nnds time for nothing but the news papers, of which he reads great many, and few of the magazines. He is extremely fond of whist and p.ays exceedingly well.
 For horses he does not care at all lie takes no interest in outdoor sports He does not fish nor hunt, nor play goIT, but does like yachting. Travel IS rest and relaxation to him, and the trip he made last year to the Yellow stone delighted him so much that he proposes to repeat it as soon as he can spare the time.
 He is vestryman in the Episcopal although he is not a member of any denomination. He says himself that he is Quaker, for his grardpar- ents were of that faith.
 Mrs. Hanna says that he has but one hobby, and that is the entertaining of his friends. The Hanna home, Glen more, is only four miles from Cleve- land, on high bluff overlooking the take.
 The name is one the senator had a
Arizona republican., 1899-05-05

share in choosing. for he said Ee want ed a name that meant something, and in the eight acres of his grounds there is a glen sufficient to justify the first half Of the name.
 The Glenmore dining room seats twenty-four, and Mrs. Hanna says that her husband is never quite happy un- less the table is full He is a most genial host and during the months he spends there Glenmore is never empty of guests.
 He likes to be always busy. He is extremely fond Of his home. He is a. loyal friend as he is unrelenting an enemy. He is not sentimental. He is not eloquent. He is not a popular leader. He is a man of tremendous energy and tireless tenacity. He is a business man whose occupation is pol itics.

GIFT OF FRANCE.
The Beautiful Sevres Vases That Have
 Been Placed in the White House.

An interesting ceremoney took place in the blue room of the White House a few days since when the French am- bassador, M Cambon, presented to the government and to the American peo. pie, as represented by President Me- Kinley, two magnificent Seyres vases a gift of the late Felix Faure, presi- dent of the French republic, in com memoration of the opening, last Aug ust, Of the new Franco-American ca ble, on which occasion the heads of the two nations exchanged the first mes sage over the new line. The vases and pedestals stand about eight feet high and are of that exquisite deep blue so characteristic of the very finest Sevres ware.
 The history of the exquisite ware is as interesting as that of an ancient noble house. In 1756 the entire works of Sevres were purchased by Louis KY. It is related that when Oscar of Swe- den was in Paris a few years ago he went into the official exposition of Sew res porcelain. Here the product of each year is arranged with care. The

on the brakemen, fortunately hitting none of them.
 He was tried, found guilty and sen tenced to a short time in Lansing when he should have been given a life sen- tence. But hardly had he landed in the penitentiary when steps were taken to secure his pardon. A remon- strance was circulated in this city, and received the signatures of a majority of our best citizens, and it was thought the garden had been refused until to- days papers announce that he is to | turned loose on an unsuspecting pub lic"
 Most of the pardons that have been granted by Governor Barnes were to restore convicts to citizenship. The governor believes that generally man deprived of the right to vote and hold office is more likely to sink lower than he would if allowed to retain those qualifications that would permit him to enjoy the rights of citizenship.

Many Persons Find Fault with the
 Governor.


 Guthrie, Ok, May 4.-The frequency of the granting Of pardons by Gov ernor c. M. Barnes is causing com ment and, in some instances harsh criticism The Perry Enterprise Times editor;ally condemns the grant ing of a pardon to Benjamin Vaughn, who was sent to the penitentiary from Noble county The Enterprise-Times es speaking of the Vaughn case, says:
 1.-Two years ago a Sunday school picnic was being held in the park near the city. Late in the afternoon this young william filled up on poor liquor, hired a livery rig and a colored driver, secured a Winchester and pro- ceeded to the park where there were a few old men, some women and a large number of innocent children en- toying days outing. Getting out of the buggy he ordered everybody to run, and they ran. But one old gen .tleman, MT. Smith, an old crippled soldier, not moving fast enough to suit the taste of this would-be desperado, was shot in the leg. After bullying the crowd to his entire satisfaction, Vaughn started back to the city, but seeing a young man named Brockman, on a bicycle, he fired at hin, wound ing him in the leg 4 freight train coming by just at this time he ex- pended what ammunition hs had left

 London, May 4~-Members of the Filipino junta here made the state

 The Americans to issue proclama- tion granting the Filipinos self-gov- ernnent and political, civil and re- ligious rights iimilar to those enjoyed by the people of Canada; the Fillpinos to control international mercantile relations: Americans and FiIipinos to enjoy equal nights in the islands: Manila to remain in the possession ot the United States until congress de- cided otherwise; the American flag to fly over the capitols of the islands and in the most prominent positions. along with the Filipino flag except at Manila, where only the American flag shall fly; all vessels to fly the American flag, with that of the FiI- ipinos; the Roman Catholic clergy to be under the same administration ss in the United States; Spanish clerical direction and intervention to be abolished; the status quo of rural property belonging to the religious orders to be maintained without re turn to the ante-belium state of af- fairs; hospitals and schools formerly by the orders to be handed over to the government, the orders to retain only their present town property; the secular clergy to retain their property.
