SENATOR HANNA DENIES
THAT He IS A CANDIDATE
SAYS HE'LL KILL THE MAN WHO
STARTED THE REPORT IF HE
FINDS HIM.
HANNA IS NON-COMMITTAL
CONCERNING POSSIBLE CABINET
CHANGES AND THE WAR IN
THE PHILIPPINES.

NEW YORK, Nov 9.-Senator
Hanna, chairman of the national Re-
publican committee, arrived here to-
day from Cleveland He said to a re-
porter:
+ "The people of this country were
overwhelmingly in favor of sound
money, law and order and contin-
uation of that policy which stands for
prosperity. Patriotism and loyalty
to the flag were strong factors in this
campaign, and that together with the
aid of those who are generally term
ed Sound Money Democrats or gold
Democrats, but whom | call American
citizens, all combined to bring about
this result.
Nebraska was the greatest victory
of ALL We made a hard fight in that
State; we went for it for all we were
worth, and while we did our utmost
and hoped for the best, we did not ex-
pect to carry it. We have carried
Kentucky, and we have not yet given
up hope of receiving her electoral
vote, and we do not propose to give
it up. We have carried the State, and
we propose to fight for it,
How about changes in the Cabi-
net, Senator?" Mr.. Hanna was asked.
you won't get word out OF me
about Cabinet positions; 1 have moth
ing to say about that; it is none OF
my affairs"
Mr. Hanna's attention was called to
| the fact that Senator Depew had said
the instruction should be put down in
| the Philippines at once, no matter
how much money and how many men
it would require to accomplish this
end, and was asked for his opinion on
the subject. He replied:
| Il think the instruction will evap-
crate almost at once, but If it should
not, l think we can safely leave the
matter in the hands Of the President.
at has been announced that you
are candidate for the Presidency in
| 1904?"
IF 1 find the man who started that
report l will kill him. l won't talk
about that, or allow anyone else to dc
it. 1t is too absurd
do you mean to say you would
decline the nomination if it was ten
dered you"
well, something very like it. But
don't wish to discuss that at all

REPUBLICAN, CHAIRMAN COMBS
RAISES THE CUSTOMARY CRY
OF FRAUD.

LOUISVILLE, KY, November g.
With unofficial returns from every
precinct in Kentucky, the Courier
Journal puts Bryan's majority at 1856
and Beckham's at 4,11O.
The county boards canvassed the re-
turns in every county in the State to-
DAY and fifty counties out of the 119
from which official returns have been
received tonight did not materially
change the maiorities stated.
There is no doubt that the full Official
returns will vary somewhat from the
unofficial figures. 1t is hardly possible
that majorities of 1885 and 4,110 shall
be wiped out, however, unless the I'M
expected shall happen in the counties
where the official returns are not in.
Chairman Leslie Combs, of the Re-
publican campaign committee, said
tonight that he wished to state his
position as TO his contests and cor
rect some erroneous impressions. He
did not want TO be understood as
saying authoritatively that the Ken
lucky election will be contested. He
says he win advise with national and
State leaders as to whether contests
should be made. He does not say that
contests will be made over the third
ninth and tenth Congressional dis
tricts, but if his information about the
election in these districts Is correct
contests should be made. He is in favor
OF contesting the electoral vote Of the
State, not because Kentucky's vote il
needed by the Mckinley electors. bui
for a precedent IF we allow thi:
election to pass uncontested." said
he. I'VE only foster more frauds fol

Mr.. Combs says there will be no con-
test for Governor and he has never adj
vised that the Governorship should be
contested.
Mr.. Combs tonight made the follow
ing statement concerning the Ken
lucky election:

THE WRECK OF THE MAINE

VIII he Removed, But Dynamite VIII
not be Used to Break I'D the Big
Ship.
HAVANA, November 9.-Captain Of
the Port Young has asked the govern
ment TO refuse any and all proposals
looking to the removal of the wreck of
the United States battleship Maine by
explosives. Last year three firms Of
fered to remove the hull of the battle
ship in return for the material. but
there has always been a strong objec-
ton TO the use Of dynamite because
of the probability that there are por-
tons Of bodies still in the wreck and
the authorities, Of course, shrink from
the idea Of dissertation.
A scheme has been submitted in
volving the construction OF a Golfer
dam, the pumping out Of the water and
the taking OF the wreck apart in
pieces; and work on this line Will
probably begin next month.

sPANISH-AMERICAN CONGRESS
Representatives of south American
Republics Arriving at Madrid.

MADRID, November 9.-The prelim-
mary session of the Spanish-American
congress opened to-day. About thirty
South American delegates have arrived
and the remainder are expected to-
morrow and Sunday. Portugal will be
represented and all the South American
republics, except Bolivia, have ac-
cepted the invitation. Spain Will not
have predominance, as each state repre-
scented has one vote
The newspapers here warmly well
come the delegates. They declare the
congress is pacific, that Spain has no
egotistical sentiment and desires to be
nobody's guardian. 1t is added that it
is not question of alliances, but OF
something grander. She and the re-
publics only wish 10 draw closer their
Intellectual and commercial relations.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 9.-Dem-
ocratic National Committeeman of Penn
sylvania, Col, ]. NJ. Guffey, left fer Lewis
county, West Virginia, tonight to take a
look at his new oil well on the Turner
farm.
The big strike caused a slump and much
excitement IN the oil market to-day The
Standard Oil Co. reduced credit balances.
The slump was not unexpected, as was
shown by the rush of holders of credit
balances to sell after the opening of the
market. The production of the Turner
well, which started on Tuesday at $50 bar
rels an hour, dropped off to $50 barrels an
hour. The lobby of the Standards pur-
chasing agency on Fourth avenue was
crowded with operators all day. They
freely discussed the strong probability of
oil selling as low as 81. 1t is possible 81
oil will be seen tomorrow, as Col, Guffey
expects another gusher to come in"
Oil men are watching a test well which
is now reaching the top of the sand on
the James Muladdy farm, about one mile
northeast of the Copley and Turner wells.
It was said by the operators that had the
Turner well been drilled in first it would
have been as large as the Copley and
would have showed equal staying quail
tiles. There was no news from the other
fields.

PARKERSBURG, W. Va, November g..
Newton Turner, on whose farm the new
Lewis county gusher was drilled in yes
terday and is good for 800 barrels an hour,
purchased his farm from Andy Edmiston,
the well known politician, who thought
when he let go of So acres ON Spring creek
for horse and a few dollars in cash that
ne had made a good trade. Mr.. Edmiston
owned the farm, and DR.. NJ S. Holt, an
other well known Weston politician, own
ed As acres of an adjoining farm. Only a
few years ago they tried to dispose of this
land, which they regarded as practically
worthless. They could not find a pur-
chaser for long time and when Edmiston
was offered a fair country horse and a
few dollars Ito boot" he jumped at the
chance and accepted it. DR. Holt jumped
at similar offer and traded off the most
valuable oil land in the State for horse.
The farm which Mr.. Edmiston sold for a
horse now nets the owner in royalty about
a thousand dollars a day and only the
first we'll is completed. The owners net
royalty is not so large as that either for
he disposed of some of it. Before the Cop
ley gusher came in Mr.. Turner sold to j..
M. Foster, prosecuting attorney of Lewis
county, a one-sixteenth interest in his
royalty for s100. When the Copley well
came 1900 feet away from the new well,
Foster sold half of his interest in the roy
atty. on the Turner farm to Mrs. A. H.
Kunst for $1,000 Five acres adjoining the
Copley and Turner tracts was sold year
or two ago to Dave McCray, its present
owner for ten dollars and a COW.
The town which has sprung up near the
Copley well is now called Tanktown. be-
cause of the number of tanks which have
been erected there. There are about 100
tanks there running up to 1200 barrels in
capacity. 1t is estimated that fully 100000
barrels of oil were wasted when the Cop
ley well came in by reason of not having
sufficient tankage. The oil was damned
up for three miles and an effort was made
to pump it into the pipes, but it was i'm
practicable, as the sand threatened to
stop up the pipes, so it was abandoned.

Economixe ana Pay a. You 60

On, or shortly before the 2Sth
of the month, comes request from
numerous members for the Lodge
to advance their assessments until
pay day. How much better it
would be if those who are paid for
their work monthly or semi-month-
ly would exercise rigid economy
for a month or two and then be
prepared on pay day to pay the
current assessment, at once, even
if it is only the 10th or 18th. Once
establish this way of doing and it
will be easy to keep it up. There
are others abundantly able to pay
in time, who through neglect or
forgetfulness, allow the 2Sth to
pass, and then howl because the
Lodge has not advanced their as
sessments, and ask, Where does
fraternity come in!" Too often
this becomes chronic and a few
are expected to run all the Lodge
business and watch out that mem,
[bers do not become delinquent,
