HANNA is IN ACTIVE POLITICS
Ohio Senator Declares No One Hns Au-
tEority to Say He Has De-
clined Chnirmanship.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-The World tomor-
row will publish the following interview
with Senator Mark Hanna:
IF anybody thinks l am out of active
politics let him wait till a fight starts up
and see where l will be. | have not yet
shirked a duty of this kind"
DO you think a man like me who has
gone 80 far in this thing called politics, and
who has worked so faithfully for his party,
would crawl out just before another cam
paign when responsibilities have grown
heaviest, and when every party leader Is in
honor bound to do I'll he can for the cause? :?
Does anybody suppose | would put myself
before the country on such proposition"
Now I'll tell you about this chairman
ship Of the republican national committee.
You see l am not a member of that COM
mittee, l am simply chairman of it. My
term will not expire until after have called
the national convention of republicans to
order in 1900.
When that convention meets shall have
to be there as chairman of the national com
mittee, and to make my report. COM
mittee will then meet to select a chairman.
simply ask you who can speak for me at
this early date and say l am out of politics
and have declined to accept another term as
chairman of that committee? 1t is simply
folly to say man declines thing before
the possibility of his accepting or declining
it has arisen.
II certainly shall not withdraw from the
cbairmanship of the national convention
before my time is up You can put that down
as sure"
But, senator, it is reasonable to suppose
that the chairmanshiD will be offered you
again, and |: 1t should be"
Now stop. How do you know it will be
offered to me? You are simply guessing at
thing a year in advance"
why, as a reward for your services~fo
the party in the past-in Ohio, II you
please-during the last campaign"
Nonsense. l did work in Ohio, that's
true. 1t was a rough road, that campaign,
there is no doubt about that But to speak
frankly, l deserve no more credit for the
victory in Ohio than my share.
1T would be ungracefu for me to dis
cuss whether or not | will accept another
term as chairman OF the republican national
committee. 1t would be audaciouS to discuss
an offer that has not been made"

FIERCE ATTACK UPON KIPLING.
Robert buchanan Writes of the Poet
in Words That Burn.

N(Copyrght. 1899 by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Dec 2.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.) Robert Bu-
chanan fiercely attacks Kiplng in the Con-
temporary Review in an article entitled The
Voice of the Hooligan"
Hooligan, in current parlance, typhes the
most brutal class Of street tough, who lives
by theft and loves violence for its own sake
Buchanan asserts that Kipling's popularity
springs from pandering to the Hooligan in
stincts of the Anglo-SaXon. He says:
"Kipling, though not poet in the true
sense OF the word. is as near a poet as can
be tolerated by the hasty, ephemeral judg-
ment OF the day. He represents with more
or less accuracy what the mob is thinking,
savage animallsm and ignorant vain glory
being in the ascendant. He is hailed at
every street corner and crowned by every
newspaper. Kiplng, on scarcely any single
OCCASION has uttered anything that does
not suggest moral baseness or hover danger
ously near It,"

Chocolate Enjoys Boom.

Copyright, 1899, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Dec. 2.-(New York World Ca
gram-Special Telegram. )-The queens
present OF chocolate to her soldiers in South
Africa has caused a tremendous boom in
chocolate in London. Smaller confectioners
all say they are sold out and unable to
obtain fresh supplies-in fact, the demand
has broken all records Thus, though the
firms supplying the queens order were doing
so at a cost price, they must make big
return indirectly from the transaction.
George r. Sims suggests that on New Years
day every British subject should toast the
soldiers at the front in a cup OF chocolate.
This suggestion, in the present state Of feel
ing, is very likely to be largely followed.

The mixing establishment of
the Globe Fertilizer mill was
burned down early this morning.
The blaze was discovered a few
minutes after the Charlotte train

and the origin is supposed to have
been from spark. The wooden
building burned like tinder, and
the whole was soon mass of
secthing flames, without any posi-

put of season.
The building was valued at
$50, 900, with an insurance of
500. 600 on that and the chemical
works nearby.
In the mixing part, which WAS
burned, were 10000 tons of fer
tlllzers of ali grades, valued ut
$l25, 900. This stock ~as insured
in Richmond.
The mill is owned by the Vir-
glnia- Carolina Chemical company,
headquarters at Richmond. DR..
L. {. Robertson is the manager.
There were IA cars on the side
tracks, many of them loaded to
be sent out today, and ten of these
were totally destroyed by the fire.
The adjoining operatives, houses
anG other departments of the fac
tory were in imminent danger but
were saved, several streams BEING
thrown upon them.
Parts of the building were three
stories high. 1t was erected in
1890 and was entirely of wood,
120x300 feet, with roof partly
of shingle and partly of rubberoid.
The chemical works are situated
in the other large building and
this did not catch afire.
About 100 or more hands were
employed in the manufacturing
and shipping departments at this
season, and these are thrown out
of employment. The chemical
works are useless without the MIX
ing department, and the corpora
ton which owns the factory may
see tit to rebuild.
The fire spread so rapidly that
by the time the department arriv-

and the brick engine room had
caught. The machinery in this
was ruined by the flames, and
shortly after 3 O'Clock the whole
began to fall in, leaving huge
