NEW YORK. Aug. 1s.-An evening pa
per prints the following;
Senator Mark HaHna's physical condi-
ton worries his friends. rumor has it. He
is said TO be suffering from heart disease
and is depressed by the failure of many
campaign arrangements.
The Chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee is at his desk every day.
but he is not able to give his vigorous at
tention to thework that has been so mark
ed in the past. He was compelled yester-
day 10 give up work for several hours. al
though engagements were pressing.
This was due to a recurrence of the
heart trouble which caused such alarm
among Mr.. Hanna's friends year ago
and on which were based the numerous
reports preceding the National Conyen-
ton at Philadelphia that he would retire
from the National Committee. The death
of Coils P. Huntington also affected SEN
ator Hanna.
1T was said today by one of the Ma
tional Chairman's intimate campaign as
sociates that no one would be surprised if
Mr.. Hanna were compelled to give up the
active direction of the campaign and seek
complete rest"

James B. Quinn. United States engineer in
charge of the district composed Of Virginia

Point of Rocks. about five miles from this
city. on Raphtha launch and shown where
it was desired TO have the stream diverted

scheme is entirely feasible and all that is
necessary is for the Government to make a
sufficient appropriation to do the work.

Big Gains in Trade.
Our trade balances cannot fail to give sat
isfaction to the people of the country. In
1898 we sold abroad 1915, 432, 676 Of products
more than we bought abroad, in 1890 $685.

Four hundred and thirty-six million dol
lars of gold have been added to the gold
stock of the United States since July 1, 1896.
The law of March IA, 1900, authorized the
refunding into 2 per cent bonds of that part
Of the public debt represented by the 3 per
cents due in 1908, the per cents due in 1907
and the per cents due In 1904, aggregating
100000. More than one-third Of the
sum of these bonds was refunded in the first
three months after the passage of the act,
and on Sept. the sum had been increased
more than S33, 100000, making in all $780,

While our receipts both from customs and

"A subject Of immediate Importance to
our country Is the completion of great
waterway of commerce between the Atlantic
and Pacific. The construction of mari
time canal is now more than ever indispen-
sable to that intimate and ready communi-
cation between our eastern and western sea
ports, demanded by the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands and the expansion of our
influence and trade in the Pacific.
"Our national policy more imperatively
than ever calls for its completion and con-
troll by this government, and it is believed
that the next session of Congress, after re-
ceiving the full report of the commission APP
pointed under the act approved March 3,
1899, will make provisions for the sure ac-
complishment Of this great work.
Would Restrict Trusts.
Combinations Of capital which control the
market in commodities necessary to the gen.
eral use Of the people by suppressing nat
ural and ordinary competition, thus en-
HANGING prices to the general consumer, are
obnoxious to the common law and the public
welfare. They are dangerous conspiracies
against the public good, and should be made
the subject of prohibitory or penal legisla-
ton.
Publicity will be a helpful influence to
check this evil. Uniformity Of legislation In
the different States should be secured Dis
elimination between what is injurious and
what Is useful and necessary In business
operations is essential to the wise and effect
I've treatment of this subject.
Honest cooperation Of capital is necessary
to meet new business conditions and extend
our rapidly increasing foreign trade, but
conspracies and combinations Intended to
restrict business, create monopoles and con-
troll prices should be effectively restrained.
Best Friends of Labor.
The best service which can be rendered to
labor is to afford 1t an opportunity for
steady and remuneratve employment and
give 1t every encouragement for advance
ment The policy that subserves this end is
the true American policy The past three
years have been more satisfactory to Amer-
can workingmen than many preceding years
Any change Of the present industrial or
financial policy Of the government would be
disastrous to their highest interests.
With prosperity at home and an increas
Ing foreign market for American products
employment should continue to wait upon
labor, and with the present gold standard
the workingman is secured against payment
for his labor in deprecated currency. For
labor a short day is better than a short dol
lar. One will tighten the burdens. the other
lessons the rewards Of toll. The one will
promote contentment and independence, the
other penury and want.

ocean transportation we pay annually to for
eign ship owners over $16o, 100000. We
ought to own the ships for our carrying
trade with the world, and we ought to build
them In American shipyards and man them
with American sailors. Our own citizens
should receive the transportation charges
now paid to foreigners.
I have called the attention Of Congress to
this subject in my several annual messages.
In that of Dec. 9, 1897, said:
Most desirable from every standpoint Of
national interest and patriotism is the effort
to extend our foreign commerce. To this
end our merchant marine should be improved
and enlarged. We should do our full share
Of the, carrying trade Of the world. We do
not do 1t now. We should be the laggard no
longer"
In my message of Dec. 5, 1899, ! said:
"Our national development will be one-sided
and unsatisfactory so long as the remark
able growth Of our inland industries remains
unaccompanied by progress on the seas.
There is no lack Of constitutional authority
for legislation which shall give to the coun-
try maritime strength commensurate with
its Industrial achievements and with Its
rank among the nations of the earth.
1.-THE past year has recorded exceptional
activity in our shipyards, and the promises
of continual prosperity in shipbullding are
abundant. Advanced legislation for the pro-
lection of our seamen has been enacted. Our
coast trade, under regulations wisely framed
at the, beginning Of the government and
since, shows Its results for the past fiscal
year unequaled liz our records or those of
any other power.
Need of the Canal.
1--WE shall fail to realize our opportuni-
ties, however, II we complacently regard
only matters at home and blind ourselves to
the necessity of securing our share In the
valuable carrying trade of the world.

than $95,000,000. There was required S.,
100000 less to support the navy this year
than last, and the expenditures on account
/ of Indians were nearly two and three-quar
| tiers million dollars less than in 1899.
The only two items of increase in the pub
lie expenses of 1900 over 1899 are for pen
sions and interest on the public debt Fol-
1899 we expended for pensions S139, 1894, 1920
and for the fiscal year 1900 our payments on
this account amounted to $140.S77, 1916. The
net increase of interest on the public debt
of 1900 over 1899 required by the war loan
was $263, 40s.25.
Bonds Speedily Taken.
| While Congress authorized the govern
| ment to make war loan Of $400, 000, 900 at
the beginning of the war with Spain, only
i $200,000,000 Of bonds was issued, hearing 3
per cent interest, which were promptly and
| periodically taken by our citizens.
| Unless something unforeseen occurs to r
duce our revenues or increase our expendi-
| lures, the Congress at its next session should
reduce taxation very materially.
| Fifty years ago we were selling govern
ment bonds bearing as high as per cent in
| terest. Now we are redeeming them with a
bond at par bearing per cent interest. We
are selling our surplus products and lending
our surplus money to Europe.
Europe Is Our Debtor.
| One result of our selling to other nations
| so much more than we have bought from
| them during the past three years is a radical
improvement of our financial relations. The
great amounts of capital which have been
borrowed of Europe for our rapid, material
development have remained a constant drain
upon our resources for interest and divi-
dends and made our money markets liable
to constant disturbances by calls for pay
ment or heavy sales Of our securities when
ever money stringency or panic occurred
abroad. We have now been paying these
debts and bringing home many of our Sc
curities and establishing countervailing
credits abroad by our loans and placing our
selves upon a sure foundation Of financial
independence.
In the unfortunate contest between Great
Britain and the Boer states Of South Africa
the United States has maintained an atti-
tude of neutrality In accordance with Its
ell-known traditional policy 1t did not
hesitate, however, when requested by the
governments of the South African republics,
to exercise its good Offices for cessation of
hostilities.
Did What We Could.
1t is to be observed that while the South
African republics made like request of other
powers, the United States Is the only one
which complied. The British government
declined to accept the Intervention Of any
power.
Ninety-one per cent Of our exports and i'm
ports are Low carried by foreign ships For
