passed resolutions endorsing Hon. NJ. A.
Hanna as a candidate for the Presidency

President Gallagher, of the club. acted
as spokesman. The speaker referred to
Mr.. Hanna as the Hercules of the Re
publican party IF Mr.. Mckinley had
been defeated he said, Senator Hanna
would have been held responsible. The
victory was remarkable one. although
not unexpected, and the credit lay with
the man who is entitled to his reward.
SEEKS NO REWARD.
In reply Senator Hanna said: II believe

though I deeply appreciate the feelings
expressed by my neighbors and my friends.

WASHINGTON, Nov. est developed
to-day that the chief point in the eS-
changes concerning China which have been
going on during the last few days among
the Powers relates to the wisdom OF de-
liyering an "ultimatum to emma, using
the express word "utimatum III the
text Of the demand to be handed to tine
Chinese ENJOYS, involving the possibility
OF a resulting declaration Of war against
China in case tire demands Of the ultl-
matum be not complied with
It appears that some OF the Powers de-
sired the express use of the Word ull-
matum' in the demand relative 10 the
decaptation or other extreme punlshment
of eleven Of the Princes ana otner hisn
officials responsible for the outrases, ana
this view Of using the most expressive
term of diplomacy seems to have tound
favor with the ministers at Peklr
When it became known at the several
capitals considerable dissent became mani
fes:.
UNANIMITY OF SENTIMENT.
About a week ago Japan took the inita-
tive in an appeal for moderation, and THIS
received the favorable consideration Oh me
United States France, Russia and prob
ably Great Britain, although a positive
statement as to Great Britain cannot be
made. About the same time Secretary
Hay took steps to express the view of
this Government that it was inadvisable
to proceed to the extent OF an ultimatum
against Ching. but that the demands
should not be beyond what China reason
ably might have the power to comply with.
The unaninlty of sentiment among the
Powers gives ground for the belief that
the demands of the ministers will be
modified by the omission of an ultimatum.
althouefl it is not yet clear what the final
attitude OF the remaining Powers-Ger-
many, Austria and Italy-win be.
The nesotia tons in this connection We're
carried on in London through Ambassador
Choate and it is regarded as Significant that
one of the parties to the Anglo-German
alliance should give its adherence to the
moderate position advanced by the United
States.

COUNCIL
VS.. NATIONAL
Old Fight Will Probably Be Settled
in Petersburg on De-
cember 9th.

The fight between the State Council, J.
O. U. A. M and the National Council,
that begun about a year ago, will probably
be settled in Petersburg. on December
9th, when the National Judiciary Of the
order will sit for the purpose of hearing
both sides. This judiciary is composed OF
Judge II. II. Eddy, of Denver; Mr. w. l..
Siichrlsr, of Brooklyne, Mass, and Mr.. H.
s. Barry, of Baltimore; all eminent
lawyers, with Mr.. George S. Lounsburg,
of Denver, as recorder. Mr.. John c.
zWecelert, a Young lawyer of this city, will
represent the National Council, and A1r
w d. Hill, of South Boston, will prob
ably represent the State Council. In
reference 10 the fight. Mr.. Weckert said
last night:
The present fight in the order arose
over year ago. AT the session of the
State Council held at Cape Charles last
year a resolution was presented and
adopted condemning certain action Of
the National Council. 1 voted for the
resolution because thought we had good
reasons to object against some of the
methods pursued by the National Coun-
ell. Last June the National Council met
in Philadelphia, and, in my opinion,
showed that they were disposed to be
fair and reasonable in the matter They
passed a number of commendable laws,
correcting the Objectionable features, and
enactins The most equitable and just
scale of representation that any one
could desire. One of tho principal
grievances was the unjust basis of repre-
sentative in the National Council, and
this has been corrected. The fight driftetl
on. however. and it seemed to me that it
was the intenron of the leaders OF. the
State Council TO leave the National Coun-
Gil, and then | thought it time to stop I
have been censured by members for TAX
ing this stand, but / cannot reconcile any
other course with my obligations. The
order Is thoroughly national, and while
we may have ever so much fault 10 find
with the management of the National
Council, Yet it is the supreme head of The
order and as such, it claims the first al
legiance of every member of the fra:er-
nifty. The fight should be made within
the order. The members should make
an effort to gain control of the National
Council and correct the abuse.
The so-called Insurgents. were
in power not many years ago.
and the other side went quietly TO
work and eventually obtained control Of
the National Council. The proceedings
before the National Judiciary is the firsst
step taken by the National Cosilcil to-

Council has won in the courts What the
