WHAT ~ THE NATTER WITH MA
HANs

The impression Is getting abroad that
the President and his Secretary OF State.
SIR HAY are out u g. asserted on the
very best OF authority that the Secretary
Is 10 excellent health. ana has been IN
every particular well man since the
latter part OF August. hut for some rea-
son unknown 10 the public he fingers on
his New Hampshire estate. although mat
ters o. the greatest importance are an tho
time occupying the attcntlou OF the state
dcgartmenL
There Is. OF course a great deal OF spec
u'ation o. O. why Mr Hay does not re-
turn 60 Washngton As already stated Il
8 pretty generally believed that he has
not conducted the forcign affairs % the
government Ia manner satisfactory 20
the President This belief mny not q
c5urse he wei founded hut IL s. tho only
reasonable explanation OF tho action OF
the Secretary IN remaining away from MS
duties at time when the ofhce q
which he o. the official head d playing 50
important part IN the affairs OF the
world
Tho sunpositon is that the policy of the
state o. partmont in Chinese matters was
TOO closely patterned after that OF Great
Britain. Before Mr. Hay went 20 his New
Hampshire estate on the plea that he
was IN and needed rest. the newspapers
were saving that be wos 20 British in his
sympathies and sentiments that ia was
Impossible for him 70 DO anything That be
thought would not have the approval u
his British friends. Newspaper talk Of
that kind was doing the Republican party
q good deal Of harm A. much az tho
Americans admire ard rospsc, che British
people they are no; disposed 20 play the
second fiddle 20 them. They are willing 20
admit all that ls claimed for the British
as long as tho adm ssion Is accompanied
With the understanding that America
leads the way and Great Britain follows.
II is probably true that Mr.. Hay became
pretty thoroughly saturated with British
ideas and sentiments while he represented
this country a; the Court OF 81. James.
since his return he has not got fully
Amcricanlzed again. No doubt he tried 70
have a distinct American policy when he
was placed at the head OF the state de-
partment. but he could not hide his real
feelings from the publ G. and many mer-
clless cartoons were publlshed-cartoons
that were CALLING % the pride OF the
American people and must have caused
the Presiden, some sleepless nights.
There Is no intimation that Mr.. Hay Is
10 leave che cabinet He has done some
good work in the state department. Per-
haps q Is the plan OF the President 20 have
him remain in the cool climate OF New
Hampshire until the campaign Is 80 far
advanced that there viii be but little
chance for his British leaningsy II they
should be detected, 10 have a damaging
eject on the prospects OF the Republican
party for success But Mr.. Hay cannot
be- having a very happy time under such
circumstance.

The directors OF che Traders Fire In

or course every one OF the directors now
says that he knows nothing about the

OF the company's affairs stated 20 the
