CLEVELAND. Ohio. Dec s1.-senator
Hanna has given his endorsement to the
proposition os ex-President Cleveland
that the present Presidential term be ex-
tended. He has also expressed himself as
in favor of q longer term Of Office.
1T is a good business proposition to
extend the term of the next President
to six years or longer and then limit him
to that one term. he said such q pro-
cedure would avoid the disturbance OF
business relations which now comes every
four years and would do away with lot
OF useless agitation It would be foolish
TO advocate such measure because Mr.
Cleveland happened to speak Of it, but
the fact remains that a longer tenure of
ONCE for a President would enable him
better to carry out policy which reqai--
ed careful attention, than does the pres
ent short term. Then limitation of his
Presidency to that one term would be an
additional incentive for him 10 accom-
pIish all the good things possible during
his fncumbeney of the Office, so that his
administration might stand as moaa-
ment 10 his memory.

CIergyman's Daughter.

NEW YORK. Dec. Silt became known
today that an attempt had been made re-
Gently to extort S5ee from the Rev Dr..
John ?. Peters. pastor of st. MichaeTs
Protestant Episcopal Church, on the
threat that if the money was not forth
coming the little daughter OF the clergy
man would be kidnaped. So far as known,
only one person has figured :n the case.
AMI a wefI-laid plan to effect his capture
has failed, because. apparently, the man
feared that when he went to get the
money at the spot he named he would be
arrested Captain Sehnittberger and
twenty men from the West seeth Street
station have been working on the case.
but the wouId-be kidnaper seems to be as
far from arrest as ever.
according to the story. several letters
of threatening nature have been receiv-
ed during the last fortnight BY the Rev
DR.. Peters. The first letter contained no
direct demand for money, but reference
was made to the Cudahy kidnapping case
IN the West. and the intimation was given
that something Of a sfEiiar nature might
soon occur in New York The last letter
contained directions as to the delivery Of
the money and left no doubt in the mind
OF the clergyman as to the intentions OF
the writer.
In this letter DR.. Peters was told to
leave his house cn West Ninety ninth
Street ct a given hour on the night OF De
cember % ard place the money In an old
shoe at the foot OF the bluff facing the
Hudson River on Riverside Drive. He 10
tilted the police
The ncighnorhood where the money was
TO be left was filed with policemen in citi-
zens' clothes and a close watch was also
kept on float near the spot where it was
thought the man would 1ie up his boat.
The Rev Dr. Deters took the money and
walked from uis house according TO the
instructions he received in the letter He
found the tree and the old shoe as speci-
fed and, after leaving the money, walked
away unconcernedly. The policemen from
their hiding places watched for the arrival
Of the stranger. but he did not appear.
