IT is pretty generally acknowl-
edged in Washington that Senator
Hanna has decided to retire from
the craftsmanship of the Republi-
can national committee. The Ill
health of the Ohio senator is given
as the reason why he cannot man
age President McKinley's second
campaign. 1t is believed that the
craftsmanship will go either to
Henry C. Payne, of Wisconsin, or

IN Philadelphia Thursday of last
week Admiral Dewey said that he
would make a statement in a few
days. 1t will beawaited with great
interest throughout the entire
country. In the meantime there
is good deal of speculation as to
whether the admiral is being adj
vised by political friends or is act
ing on his own judgment, and in
accordance with his own desires.
There are, of course, many stories
ahoat, but it is probable that there
is very little truth in any of them.
One story is that gold Democrats
are using him To defeat the nOmin-
alton of Mr.. Bryan. Another is
that Admiral Dewey feels that he
has not been properly treated by
the Mckinley administration, par
ticularly by the president, and that
his purpose is to proven: the presi-
dent from getting a second term.
1t is very doubtful ifeither of these
stories has any foundation. The
admiral has received many letters
from admirers in different parts of
the country, asking him to become
Il candidate for the presidency, and
he has been received with great en-
thusiasm in every part of the coun-
try which he has visited. lie has
quite naturally concluded that the
people wanted him for president.
In other words, he has simply got
the presidential bee in his bonnet,
only that and nothing mare, and
he will he much wiser man, po-
litically speaking, Il few months

in its old shape is as dead as the
institution of African slavery, and
who require is to to hold them

Washington, July "a cablegram
received at the navy department from
Lieutenant A. L. Key, dated Toxic last
night, says: Russian dock at Port

This dispatch brought the first news
that Lieutenant Key, the naval at

Chinese capital and in Toxic, to which
place he is also accredited
Secretary Long this morning received
the following cablegram from Lieuten-

delegation but the entire train. II was
the saddest sight most of US had ever
seen and few of us will ever forget II.
When the train which we Joined at Og-
den left San Francisco, a husband,
wife and small son got on board. They
were Mr.. and Mrs. James Balch and
little Harry. The wife and mother was
in the last stages of consumption
She was anxious TO get back to her
home in Massachusetts before she said
good bye forever to her husband and
boy. The family had little money but
Balch gathered together all he could
and the three started on their sad
journey. Mrs. Balch seemed to i'm
prove for a time, and, although she was
unable to leave her berth, hopes were
entertained that she would at least live
long enough TO see her mother again.
Shortly after leaving Green River,
however, she began to grow rapidly
worse and in a few minutes she breath
ed her last. I saw the husband sitting
on the edge of the berth in which lay
the body of his wife The poor fellow
seemed completely dazed. He looked
unSeeingly when 1 touched his Shout
der and asked if anything could be done
for him. No" he said, shes dead,
poor girl, and she never saw home"
The boy was playing around the car,
all ignorant of the unspeakable calam-
ity that had befallen him, and though
the father did nothing to check the
lads lightheartedness it looked to me
as if that feature of the tragedy cut
him almost as deeply as the other
