HANNA WILL QUIT.
To Resign Chairmanship OF
National Committee.
Retirement Said to Be Due to
Ill Health.

Washington, June 7.-Senator Hanna
is to resign the Craftsmanship of the
national Republican committee This
information is brought back to Wash
ington by an Ohio congressman, who is
a close personal friend of the senator.
Senator Hanna disclosed his intention
to his friends during the recent Ohio
convention.
The reasons assigned for his desire to
get out of active politics was his health.
The senator has been far from we'll
during the past few months He is
suffering from a severe case of chronic
indigestion and a rheumatic affection,
which threatens his heart. Lately his
condition has become such that the
senator has become a little more de-
bilitated. He told his close friends he
was convinced he had not a long time to
live unless he could secure radical re-
lief The responsibilities of the chair
manship of the national committee he
knew would kill him if he carried them
much longer. He is said to have had
a long conference with the president
about his intended resignation. The
president was most anxious that the
senator should remain at the head of
the committee With Senator Hanna
managing the next campaign, he felt
success would be secured. He felt 1t
to be a case of life or death for him,
and he would not, of course, urge hlrn-
Senator Hanna has made all his ar
rangements for a trip to Europe. He
will go to a place in the south of France,
which has been recommended to him by
his physician, and there he will remain
until late in the fall, endeaVoring
through treatment, rest and regular life
free from responsibility, to recuperate
his health. He has not yet decided just
when he will send in his resignation,
but it will surely be given to the COM
mittee before the time for campaign
work for 1900 has come around. Henry
c. Payne, of Wisconsin, is mentioned
as his successor. Mr.. Payne is the
tional committeeman from Wisconsin.
He is a close friend of the president,
and a man in whose manag geriaI ability
the president is said to have a great
deal of confidence.
HANNA DENIES IT.
Cleveland, June Senator Hanna
fatty denied the report sent from Wash
ingtOn that he intended to retire from
the craftsmanship of the national Re
publican committee.
It's a sheer fabrication" said the
senator I don't see how, or by whom
the story could have been started. There
is no basis for it. l shall retire from

HUNDREDS EvICTED.
Settlers Driven From Usage
Indian Lands by Police.

Guthrie, Okla, June Three squads
of Usage Indian police and light horse
men evicted several hundred intruders
from the Usage Indian reservation to-
day. All the fences and improvements
of the intruders were destroyed and
hundreds of cattle were turned into the
grain fields. The destruction of crops
is great.
The white intruders defy the orders
of Indian Agent Pollock, and boldly
move upon Indian allotments, build
houses and raise crops. Agent Pollock
is relentless in dealing with the invad-
ers and scores of women and children
are homeless. The intruderS have or
ganized and may attack the police.
Thousand of trees have been cut from
the reservation by cattlemen, who will
be forced by the agent to pay three
cents for every post used.

release the shafts, thus leaving the
horse to go on alone.

What We're the circumstances under
which the proposition was made to
you?'' inquired the Journal reporter.
My friend said Major Anderson,
met me on the street one day some
time before the committee visited Par
sons and mentioned the asylum to me.
He explained that Parsons had money
to take care of the friends who stood
by the town. He told me I could pay
off my mortgage and said that could
just as well make some money out of
the business. He also explained to me
that Parsons was very anxious to
cure the asylum. l declined to consider
the matter further and we separated.
L have no positive evidence that
for voting for Parsons. But, I do know
that all over the southern part of the
state there was talk of Doodle The op-
posing towns realized they were up
against the Doodle propositions and
that there was no show for them The
talk was heard everywhere Every man
we met talked to about Parsons
having money and the air was filed
with such stories. Other towns charged
that Parsons expected to get the asy-
lum by purchasing the committee.
The committee held an executive
session at the hotel in Parsons. While
members of the committee about the

that 1 proposed to keep clear of such
deals.
