Scott Is UH

Scott Is Unensy.-From an inside
source whose reliability cannot be ques-
toned it is learned that the Hon. Nathan
Bay Scott is one of the most pessiEnistic
attaches of Mr.. Hanna's headquarters in
New York. When the big boss called his
counseIors around him last Saturday
prior to his departure for the West, Sena-
tor Scott expressed the grayest fears of
illinois, He called Mr. Hanna's attention
to the pregnant fact that the majority
of nearly seventy thousand which Mr. Nc
Kinley got in Cook couaty tChicagol four
years ago in all probability would be
wiped out, and that this would leave the
party the dangerously narrow margin of
only two thousand in the rural districts
TO work on Mr.. Hanna agreed that the
West Virginian's fears were we'll found
ed, and explained that the principal rea-
son he was rushing back West for was to
set things right in Chieag go" 1t Is said
that Mr.. Hanna had not at that time be-
gun to turn his money loose IN Chicago,
and when he knocks the head out of mis-
barrel there the Republicans believe the
skies will brighten in Illinois. At the
same time there are aggravated labor
troubles in Chicago which it is not be-
Heved Mr.. Hanna viii be able TO settle
with his money, and the Democracy OF
Cook county is so well organized that ii
will be impossible for him to make any
breaches in the party's lines IN point of
fact the Democrats are said to have dol
lars to match with Mr.. Hanna il Chicago,
and if he starts that game the chances
are he will get the worst of it. This con
ditiou in Chicago undoubtedly makes Il
linois at present debatable ground, though
Senator Scott is said to be the only one
who admitted that this was so in Mr..
Hanna's presence last Saturday

Some of the vast changes which

are indicated by the recent discovery

formed before volcanic forces up-
