MARK HANNA SAYS MY 70
PRESIDENTIAL BOOMERS.
THINKS HE HAS GLORY ENOUGH
IN TWICE ELECTING A
PRESIDENT.
WILL RETIRE AT END OF TERM.
MIR. BRYAN's WISE REMARKS IN
RESPONSE TO AN ADDRESS
FROM FRIENDS.

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 2S.-A com
Republican Club of this city, which
recently passed resolutions endorsing
Hon. NJ A. Hanna as candidate for
the Presidency in 1904, called upon the
Senator to-day at his Office to present
the same President Gallagher, of the
club, acted as spokesman. In an ap
propriate and strong presentation
speech he told why the club members
believed the Senator well earned the
exalted honor of being chief executive
OF the United Staes. The speaker re-
ferred to Mr.. Hanna as the Hercules
OF the Republican party.
IF Mr.. Mckinley had been defeat
ed" he said, Senator Hanna would
have been held responsible The vic
tory was a remarkable one, although
not unexpected, and the credit lay
with the man who is entitled to his re-
ward
The reception accorded the COM
mittee by Senator Hanna was most
cordial. In replying to his visitors, he
laid stress upon his appreciation of
the honor conferred upon him, and
said:
Il believe in my heart that have
only done my duty to the country
to my people l seek no public Office,
and l seek no reward. Although l
deeply appreciate the feelings express
ed by my neighbors and my friends.
it cannot be the browning act of my
life 70 sit in the presidential chair.
| am growing old and expect to retire
after my Senatorial term expires.
Your kindness and consideration in
what you deem to be the proper course
deeply touches me, but my candidacy
for the presidency is absolutely out
of the question, and it is not even to
be thought OF"

the guards for this assurance. The
contest between Democracy and plu-

Supposed to Have Committed Suicide
by Jumping into the River.
Special to the Register
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, Nov. IS
Thomas Davis, chief engineer on the
towboat Sam Davis. which passed
down last night ior Cincinnati, with
tow of Pittsburg coal, is supposed to
have committed suicide by jumping
into the river from the front of the
tow while near Marietta. The boat
reached Marietta about eight o'clock
last night, and Davis was missed there.
A thorough search was made for him,
and his hat and coat were found on
the front barge of the tow as though
he had left them there and jumped in.
If he did, and the entire tow passed
over him, there is no possibility that
he could survive. The boat came on
to Parkersburg, where another engi-
reer was taken on and the boat went
on down the river Nothing has been
heard to-day of the missing man, and
the body has not been seen. He was
married and lived in Allegheny.

THE UNITED STATES NOT
WAITING ON THE POWERS.
ARRANGING SETTLEMENTS WITH
CHINA THROUGH VICEROYS
AND CONsULS.
ENGLAND FOLLOWS SAME PLAN
EXPECTED TO RESULT IN MUCH
EARLIER CLOSING OF CHI
NESE NIX-UP.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The State
Department has cabled Minister Con-
gel to forward the text OF the agree
ment reached by the foreign ministers
at Pekin. Meanwhile he will with
hold his signature until the President
has had the opportunity to satisfy
himself as to this important document
and to make such changes as will bring
it in accord with our policy.
1t is safe to predict that this partic-
ular agreement will not become eff
fecitve in its present stage. 1t appears
that, upon inquiry directed to the pow
ers themselves, their ministers at Pc
kin have not correctly reflected their
present views as to the basis of the
peace negotiations. This statement
certainly is true as to a majority of
the powers interested and the fact IS
regarded as warranting the prediction
that the agreement must be modified or
abandoned.
1t is learned at the State Depart
ment that while these negotiations are
dragging along at Pekin. some of the
american cOnSufS IN CHINA are achleV-
ing practical and valuable results by
individual efforts. They are addressing
themselves in cases directly to the
viceroys of the great provinces where
American property interests have suf-
fered. to secure indemnity and repara-
ton, and in most cases they are sue
ceeding very well. II is surmised from
LOT
English consuls are doing likewise.
and are collecting many claims, and
the moneys are being turned over to
the mission interests which have suf-
fered. II this movement continues.
it is entirely possible that neither the
United States nor Great Britain will
be obliged to concern themselves with
the prosecution of individual claims for
indemnity through the slow moving
agencies at Pekin.

as an act of hostility. According to the
Tageblatt's dispatch the home minister
urged the severance of diplomatic rela-

went so far as to threaten war unless
the KENTUCKY should be withdrawn
from Turkish waters. The ministers
express the belief that the European
powers would not permit the United
States to attack Turkey and that that
country, therefore, would be safe in
taking a defiant attitude.
