CHAIRMAN NJ. A. HANNA.


prised some of his hosts during the
table talk by telling them that Senator
Hanna's campaign tour of the north
west had so stirred up that section OF
the country that the senator was being
talked about there as presidential
possibility four years hence.
Senator Hanna was asked yesterday
whether he had heard of any such SEN
timent in the northwest. yes" he
answered, Il have heard rumors to
that effect. At some of the meetings l
addressed in the northwest cries were
raised about the next presidency,
which | could not help hearing. There
has been some talk OF the character
you mention. But | don't want to be
the next president after Mckinley. |
won't have anything to do with it, l
have had enough of politics and public
life to suit any one"
Senator Hanna starts tonight for
New York to dispose of unfinished
campaign business. He will return
home on Monday and remain until
Dec. /, when he will go to Washington
for the rest of the winter and the ses-
sion of congress.

BRYAN SLEEPS PEACEFULLY.
Takes an Evening Nap While Await
ing the Returns.


Lincoln. Neb.. Nov 7.-Mr. Bryan re-
ceived election returns at his residence
in this city. His house was fairly over
run with newspaper men and telegraph
operators. Not only was the first floor
of the house largely given up to them,
but two OF the rooms in the second
story also. Four telegraph wires were
run in the house. At o'clock when
the newspaper men congregated at Mr..
Bryan's house sought to secure state
ment from him, they were told that he
had just gone to sleep and could not be
disturbed When he retired to his own
room he glanced over the returns with
apparent interest and then expressing
a desire TO make up some of the rest he
had lost in the past few weeks, lay
down and was asleep in less than five
minutes.
Mr. Bryan remained in his private
apartments during the entire evening
and slept the greater part of the time.
He did not make his appearance in the
parlor of his house where the news
paper correspondents were congre-
gated until II o'clock and his coming
at that time was for the purpose of
notifying the press that he would have
nothing to say for publication during
the night. He added that he might pos
sibly give out a statement today.
After this assurance, the visitors
withdrew and soon afterwards the
lights were extinguished and the house
presented no signs of animation. Mrs
Bryan spent the evening entertaining
her company and gave no sign either OF
fatigue or disappointment.

THE NEWS AT CANTON.
The President Reads the Returns Mt
His Home.


His Home.
Canton, O., Oct president Nc
Kinley received the election returns
last night at his home surrounded by d
large number of his old friends and
neighbors, including many ladies who
came as the guests of Mrs, Mckinley
to share with her the interest and eX-
element of this eliminating event of
the campaign. Direct wires connected
the house with the Republican national
headquarters at New York and at Chi
cago with Senator Hanna, at the Union
club, Cleveland, and with the home of
Governor Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay, so
that the president was in constant tele-
graphic touch with his associate on the
ticket and with the campaign leaders.
The president made his headquarters
In his library, where most of the gentle
men guests congregated, while Mrs.
Mckinley entertained the ladies in the
parlor. The president was in his usual
good humor, showing no signs of
anxiety over the result.
The president, in person, read aloud
some of the returns, but refrained from
making any common whatever on the
result and accepting with unruffled
composure the favorable reports which
began to come in at an early hour Sec
rotary Cortelyou read most of the dis
patches, some of the more cheering an
nouncements being heartily applauded
by the guests. Most of the early ad-
vices were fragmentarY and incOn-
elusive, but The strong indications that
New York and probably Illinois had
gone for Mckinley was received with
great satisfaction

Baltimore. Nov. president Nc
Kinley carried Baltimore city by a
majority of $685.. The returns from
the counties are meager, but official
advices from 81 scattered precincts out
of 354 give him 1925, as against &c.
1877 for Bryan, thus assuring him a
majority of at least 10000 in the state
The defeat of the Democrats has been
thorough and surprising, ii being GER
tain that they have lost five out of the
six congressman, with the probabili-
ties in favor of clean sweep by the
loss of the other The doubtful dis
trict is the Second, in which ex-Con-
gresham j. Fred G. Talbot is the
Democratic candidate and A. A Blake
ney the Republican aspirant. The re-
turns, with one precinct missing, show
a majority for Blakeney, and it is re-
garded as highly probable that he is
elected. This means a net loss of two
congressman to the Democrats, the
Fourth and First districts having been
represented by Democrats, though Gov
ernor John Walter Smith, who was
elected in the First, resigned soon af-
terward to become governor of the
state. His business partner, State
Senator John p. Moore, was nomi-
mated by the Democrats 20 succeed him.
and his defeat was source of gTea,
surprise, it being considered that he
was practically sure of election.

BEARS QUITE PROMINENT

New York, June 16.-The market for cotton futures opened easy in tone, with prices 1 to points lower, and further sold off later under pressure from bulls and bears who were influenced by good wealth CT reports.
 The Chronicle statement of the weeks developments in the belt, disappointing English cables, absence of speculation support added to the irregularty as also did the rumor that cloth markets were dull and lower. After the first burst of trading business settled down to a professional week and settlement of accounts and prices varied but little from the early de- cline.
 Sentiment was not over decided, though rather inclined to the bear side under en- couraging weather predictions and good crop reports from Texas. The foreign ele- ment took an indifferent part in forenoon operations on the local exchange, and in- fuential interest which had figured prom inently during the forepart of the week failed to appear as traders. Much of the cotton sold comprised holdings piled up early in the week on the belief that a strong New Orleans 'cique'' was going to push July and August to cents. The bears were disposed to be conservative and extended commitments with great eau tion
