tatives of the Cramp shipbuilding concern,
including some members of the firm, have
been notably numerous in Washington
during the past week. Their operations
are being conducted very quietly, though
it is understood that they making des-

il is generally regarded as extremely DOUBT

most panic-stricken and are ready to
stampede away from the measure This
supposed condition adds strength to the
growing belief that General Grosvenor vi /
not be permitted to even report the bill

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Is Hanna Failing:-Various persons
close to the Hon. Marcus Alonzo Hanna
are giving out hints to the effect that his
health is failing fast. Coupled with these
hints is the intimation that Mr.. Hanna is
not now manifesting that keen and alert
interest in the management of the Re
publican machine which has heretofore
characterized his course since his sudden
bound into national prominence. From the
galleries of the Senate it is plainly no
ticeable that Mr.. Hanna moves around
with less vigor as the days come and go.
His rheumatic limp seems to be increas-
ing and the pallor Of the once cherry red
face is growing. The Senator does not
respond to many of the cards sent into
him when the Senate is in session, and
when he does visit the Marble Room his
walk is slow and his facial expression one
of pain. 1t is suggested that he ought TO
get away from Washington and go to
Florida or California for a rest in order
to recuperate his rapidly waning strength
for the great political struggle that Will
soon begin There are those who hold that
Mr. Hanna will be physically unequal TO
the gigantic task of managing Mr.. Nckin-
ley's campaign this year unless he drops
everything now and seeks recreation In
a more salubrious climate.

The msmbers and parishionsrs of the

the fact that they must this year part
with their pastor, Rev. G. G. Phslan,
and family who have now been In West

Ian came to this city to I'LL out the unsI
pired term Of six months, Of the former
pastor. Rev. A. W. Pottls. At the con.
ference five years ago, Rev. Mr.. Phslnn
was appointed for the full term of one
year. At the end Of that year he had
given such satisfaction that he was sent
back for second year and 60 on until
last year he was cent for the eth, and ac-
cording to the church Law, last time.
There is now some interest taken as to
who will be his Successor. The church 1t

THE GREAT YELLED PROPHET.

Through the Streets of the
Mound City.

St. Louis, Oct. 3.-The parade of the
Yelled Prophet, which has annually de-
lighted denizen and visitor, old and
young, since many middle-aged spec
tators first view it from the arms Of
fond parents, was last night, if not so
~dazzlingly beautiful as On some form
er occasions, at least up-to-date in its
design and of special interest to the
t'weller on the stepping-off place of
the ninteenth century. 1t represented
the "Pagent of Nations" and al
though the order of procession was
faulty, that fact was charitably over
looked by the cheerful specta-
tors who hailed each float as it ap-
preached and passed by with generous
applause, each doubtless stirring
sacred memories of home and father
land in the breasts of many in the
cosmopolitan half-million who densely
lined the streets along all the miles
lraversed by the parade.
By far the most generous applause
was bestowed on the allegory repre-

next greatest need of applause.
OF the floats representing foreign
nations, that bearing the crOwn-im-
perial of Great Britain, with John
Bull comfortably seated therein. re-
ceived the most demonstrative recog-
milton. After that, and as showing
the forgiving spirit and generosity
to a fallen foe of the American citi-
zen, the Spanish float awoke echoes
of applause. None of the floats failed
to please the casual observer or to
instruct the closer student.
One point wherein the management
of the great pageant can make an
improvement in the future will be III
the better instruction of the satellites

floats, and who, last night, showed
great lack of drill, as often throwing
their dazzling lights into the eyes OF
the spectators as upon the gauZe and
tinsel they were intended to illumine.
As a whole, the pageant, though not
brilliant, was n gratifying success and
added much to the popularity of the
mysterious parsonage in whose honor
it was undertaken.
