BOWED
TO the Will Of the Great
Boss.
Senator Hanna issued Orders 10 His
Servitors at Cleveland.

Senator Hanna has issued orders
that any one attempting to noat t.
mayoralty boom prior to the presiden-
;tul election will hear something drop
next spring. He threatens to fight any
man who even dares breathe of the
coming mayoralty contest before the
presidential race is over, says the Plain
Dealer. This the Senator declared to-
the members of the county committee,
who called on him the day before he
departed for the east The members
of the committee incidentally mention
ed that Charles f.. Bowman is n can
ddate for mayor, and is already at
work in his own behalf.
"Well, want to say right here" ex-
claimed Senator Hanna, that l will
not help any man who places the may
orally ahead of President Mckinley.
There must be no talk about tile mayor

fronted him.
az hear" he began, and he looked
hard at Walter ID. Meals, that some of
sOu fellows are also looking ahead to
the fight next spring AS in one
breath came the denial. "Well, all /
want TO say is" went on the Senator,
"that no one need expect any help from
me IL he attempts to float any personal
booms while the presidential fight is
on" This situation developed Just af-
ter the committee had made its plain.
| tive plea that it had no funds with
which to begin the missionary work
The Senator's eyes flashed and he
meant what he said. The committee
men did not doubt his sincerity and
for that reason it is likely that all Re
publican mayoralty booms will be put
to sleep, temporarily, at least.

NEW SOURCE OF oUTrAPERcHA
A German Says the Treos That Produo~

German Says the Treos That Produor
 It VIII Grow io the Philippines.
 Tn q monograph, just published in Germany, it is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees grom which guttapereha is procured will flourish. The value of this statement is not to be underrated for two reasons: One IS that guttapercha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls; the other is that the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from which the chief supply has hi ,erto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause of this exhaus- tion lies in the primitive and destruc- tive methods which were formerly em- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity. T5e natives who never have any thought for the morrow have ruthlesely cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This whole sale destruction carried on for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, but the discovery that these trees grow and can be successfully culti- vated in the Philippines offers hope that new mine of wealth has been found for American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacifed. While the chief use of guttapercha is, of course. for the isolating covering of electric wires, large quantity is used for the manufacture of golf balls, for which no other material seems NO yell adapt ed. Its hardness after Having been submitted to the proper pressure, ana its toughness make it the only golf bali material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1856 is some 41853 knots, representing a cost for he rabies alone Of millions of pouhds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables will be required and laid, the demand for guttapercha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta- percha in the Philippines holds ont to American enterprise is in proportioE to this demand.

HUNTING FOR PEARLS.

I've Stars In This PeriIous Line sf
 Two fannous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia of the sea. Opu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in their perllous line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan. gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however. and both are thoroughly familiar with the civiliza- ton of West Australia, where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters, says the New York Telegraph. Taipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who have embarked in tho trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and ship; both are engaged in the trade in south western waters. His ship, however, ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells for income, since to stake earnings on the pearls alone would be to invite loss Valuable pearls are not frequent >nough to make 1t pay, but the com- : ercial lnoEber-of-pearl is made from he shells that they deal in. When 1t comes to hunting for the real pearl there is not any kind of a scoop or 1redger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treading the deep Is the only way to find valuable pearls. As rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean. Sometimes man will pick up fortune sn few weeks and sometimes he will hardly make expenses in a season. Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to $750 ton, and.thera Is always a chance that diver may make enough in c1e day to quit for life. "We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet" said Opu, flor the pressure Is too great. Even at these depths men cannot remain down over i've or ten minutes, and the average life of the deep diver iS short

NEARING A SOLUTION.
a Fssling Of Bueysnt Optimism In WASH
ingtoa Over tins Outlook In the
Chinese Matter.

Washington, Oct. "A feeling OF
buoyant optimism prevails among Of
ficials here relative to the Chinese
troubles that warrants the belief In
the existence of sound foundation
based on very recent developments In
pending negotiations. II Is evidently
the conviction among officials that u
rapprochement among the powers is
near ut hand. The encouraging out
look has been brought about very
largely by the harmonious sentiments
which have developed between this
government and Germany concerning
the course of future events in China.
Germany Is understood to have
withdrawn from the position OF in

of the Chinese outrnges he surren-
dered to the allies ms n condition pre-
cetlcnt to negotiations. In her new
note she has suggested that the min
listers in Pekin should be empowered
to designate those whose punishment
will be insisted upon and that the
powers determine the character Of the
punishment.
Meantime plans are under consider
alton by which the powers will see
that China carries out her purposes of
Furnishing the guilty parties. II is
felt to he proper that the punishment
shall he carried out in such public
manner, either with the knowledge of
the foreign ministers or in their pres
cnce, that there can be no question
