SENATOR HANNA INDIGNANT. Did Not Try to Break in on Mckinley Dewey Conference.

Cleveland, Oct. S.-Senator Hanna is indignant over reports sent out from Washington to the effect that he had tried to break in upon conference be- ing held by the president and Admiral Dewey. There is absolutely no truth to the report" said the senator q called at the White house Wednesday morning, accompanied by friend from Indiana, who wanted to meet the presi- dent. I asked the doorkeeper whether I could see the president and he told me he was engaged with Admiral Dewey. l then said we would return in the af- ternoon, not making any request or eff fort to break in on the conference. It is ridiculous to think that I attempted to break in on the presidents private affairs in that way. It is not true that I ever attempted thing of that kind. Whenever I have been at the White house and found the president engaged I have always gone away, leaving word with the doorkeeper that I would return later in the day"

CHAIRMAN JONES ARRIVES.
Bryan Sure to be Nomtnatsd-Snys Gro.
 ker ts iM Line.

| New York; Oct. 8.-United States 1 Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, l chairman of the Democratic National
 committee and wife were passengers on ! the Cunard line steamer Lucania which ! reached New York city to-day. They have been traveling in England, Ire land and Scotland and Switzerland
 and Wales for several months. Senator
 Jones said that he had been much benefited by his European trip, and felt ready to go into the hard work necessary in getting ready for the pres- idential campaign.
 Senator Jones, when asked to give
 his views on the political situation, said that owing to his long absence abroad he was not fully informed as to political conditions as he haped to
 be in a few weeks When asked his opinion as to the probability of the democratic nomination going to William J. Bryan he said: There is no doubt that Bryan will receive the democratic nomination for president" and he add ed, "has anybody any doubt that Bryan is sure to win?" On the attitude of Richard Crol<er as to the nomination of Bryan for president, Senator Jones had little to say, merely replying to all di- rect questions: "Croker Is already in line"
 Senator Jones said that he did not know how long he would remain in New York. His plans are still uniformed. He said, however, he might go to Wash ington on Tuesday on business matters.
 During the afternoon and evening several men prominent in politics, call ed on him at his hotel. Among them was George Fred Williams, member of the national committee and it is presumed there was a conference over political matters and plans for the coming campaign preparations. Sena- tor Jones was asked if he anticipated a call from Richard Croker and he re- piled: Not that know of. I have no appointment with him and do not know if he will call. Even though he should do so it would have no special signifi- cance"

 Found in River.

 river, a man fishing yesterday at noon
 hauled up on his hook bundle con- taining the trunk of Woman's pody. Early in the morning the left thigh of a woman, wrapped in several news
 papers had been found in front of 16O West Seventeenth street. It was found that the portion of the thigh fitted the dismembered trunk and general alarm was sent out Score of police were de-
 tailed along the North river front and
 throughout the precinct In which the

The papers in which the parts of the body were wrapped included one of the date of October 5th, showing that the body had been dismembered on that date or subsequent to it. There were several marks on the paper, but the nature of these the police will not disclose.

 Dublin, Oct. s.--Daniel Talon, the lord mayor, to-day marched at the head of a procession which this year replaced the usual demonstration at the grave of Charles Stewart Parnell in Glasne- win cemetery, and subsequently laid the foundation stone of the Parnel statue at the head of Sackville street.

f FIREMAN'S DISAPPEARAN NCE.
Strange Incident on mn Engine on the
 Highland Division.

Waterbury, Oct. S.--The strange dis appearance of Frank Spencer, fire man on the Highland division of the | Consolidated railroad, from his engine last night, is occasioning much specu- lation and wonderment among other employees to-day Late last night the east bound freight, on which he was fireman, stopped at Sandy Hook for water and coal and then the train start ed for Waterbury The high bridge over the Housatonic was crossed in a short while and then Engineer John Sullivan noticed that his fireman was missing from his cab. He stopped the train and careful search was made, but no traces of the missing man was found until the bridge was reached and there Spencers cap was picked up. but that was the only thing that could be found.
 One theory as to his disappearance is that while crossing the bridge, Spen- cer in looking out of the cab fell out into the river eighty feet below and was drowned and his body swept down the river by the strong current, An other version is that possibly Spencer juped from the cab and deserted the train, leaving the cap near the bridge for a blind. Friends of the man dis credit the latter theory, however as he had the reputation of being reliable and faithful and was on the best of terms with his engineer. He had been employed on the road for number of years. Spencer belonged in Fishkill, N Y, where he has family. He has a. brother also who is employed on the Springfield division of the Consolidated and one on the Berkshire division.

Free State President Does Not Blame
 The Transvaa1.

Bloomfontein, Orange Free State, Oct S.--The correspondence between President Steyn and Sir Alfred Milner, British high commissioner ill South Africa and governor of the Cape Colo ny, has been published. In e commit nication dated September 26, President Steyn pointed out that the tone of the British despatches was altered, that the imperial government had departed from the original basis of negotiations at the Transvaal. On his advice the Transvaal has agreed to the holding of an inquiry and the Free State was disappointed to learn that its efforts in favor of peaceful settlement had been overlooked.
 He further says he cannot but recog- nize the fact that, in view of the ac- ton of the British authorities, the Transvaal government cannot be blam- ed for acting as it has done and he is the more confirmed in this view by the fact that. while he is still without reply to his communication of the sea-

SHAMROCK'S STOCK GOING UP.
Serious Feeling That Cup is in Greater
 Danger Than Ever.

New York, Oct. S.-Shamrock stock has taken another rise. There is a feeling about town tonight that the historic cup is in greater danger than ever. The more yesterdays perform ance is considered and discussed the less encouraging it seems to the Ameri- can yachtsmen. The Shamrock is wonder in light weather. That Is set tied beyond a doubt by the three days of drifting. She has surprised her own people and she has given the other peo ple a great shock. She is handled splendidly and there are men on board who know how to do the handling. The feeling of the American yachtsmen that the challenger was entering the races unprepared and untried has dis appeared. They have seen her fit for the struggle, and they knew that she is ready to do her best. In response to an inquiry made this afternoon as to what was being done by way of preparation her managers said: Moth ing. There she Is, ready for the gun"
 Shamrock Men the Most Confident.
 Each side is still confident, but it must be admitted that the packers of the green boat are showing the most hope They say they know what she can do in heavy weather, It only re- quired three days of drifting to convince them that she was just as good in light airs. The whole Shamrock contingent is a happy one, and there is no one to begrudge them their pleasant moments. The Columbia people are not unhappy by any means. On the contrary, they still confidently assert that, of course, the cup stays. But they have been shocked and they have been shocked in a most decisive manner. They know more than this, but they are not telling what it is.
 Yachtsmen Pleased With Struggle.
 Leaving entirely out of the question American pride in the American boat all true sportsmen are rejoicing. Here is a contest worth having. Here is a contest that is worth all the money that has been spent. It is a great struggle and no man can name the winner. This Is the feeling in New York to-day and this is a gain for the shamrock side, for did she not start the week bad second? The betting is still slightly in the Columbia's favor,
