HANNA GOES EAST.
Will Spend Two or Three Weeks at
Headquarters in New York.

Cleveland, O., Sept. Ex-senator Hanna
left for New York Sunday evening. He
will remain at the Republican head
quarters there for two or three weeks,
and will then return to Chicago. In an
interview before starting he said:
The speech made at Chicago on the
so-called trust issue was misquoted and
garbled- What / said was that there
were no trusts in the meaning OF the
law. When I said that, 1 did not say
that there are no combinations of cap
ital. nor did I say that there are no
combinations that work injustice to
the people. This so-called trust issue is
nothing more than bugaboo of Bryan's
10 catch votes What antitrust laws
have been enacted have been enacted
by Republicans. On the so-called trust
issue Bryan is on the defensive. He
should tell why the Democratic party
has never supported nor proposed any
legislation to regulate the commercial
combinations of the country. Bryan
cannot defend the Democratic party on
that issue, and it, with the issue of i'm
periaism, will soon be relegated to the
rear. The money question will soon be
the paramount issue. Bryan will have
to meet that issue, too
Senator Hanna said he had not de-
cidsd to go on the stump in the east,
but would do so il he thought best.
He declared. Furthermore, that he had
issued no challenge to Mr.. Bryan for a
joint debate, nor had he challenged any
body to debate However, he said he
was not afraid to meet anybody on the
issues of the campaign.

special from Dallas, Texas, says:

Texas, at 1 p. m. today telephoned me
as follows:
"A serious disaster at Brownwood is
reported here today. Eight persons
have been drowned. and part of the
town badly wrecked. by water. The
town is entirely cut off. both by wire
and rail. The Fort Worth & Rio Grande
railroad west of Dublin is crippled by
washouts and as the wires are down
trains that have been laid out cannot
be heard from. No lives have been lost
near Dublin, but the property damage
is large. The Leon river and it's branches
have swept over an immense area in the
country around Dublin. Further to the
west in the Brownwood section, the
Colorado, the Concho, the Pecan and
other rivers and their tributaries have
made widespread damage

DROPS IMPERIALISM.
Gov. Roosevelt Talks About Eco
nomic Conditions.

Rawlins, Wyo., Sept 24--The Roose-
welt special made the first stop of the
day here at o'clock this morning.
Governor Roosevelt spoke at the opera
house for three-Quarters of an hour. He
called the attention OF his hearers to
the economic condition of the country,
and asked them to compare it with what
1t was four years ago. He said further.
There are unQuestionable evils con-
nected with our great, extraordinary,
complex and wonderful Industrial SyS-
tenn; unquestionably there are grave
abuses connected, not merely with the
Individual but especially with the cor
porate fortunes that have been made.
There is every reason why we should
strive intelligently and fearlessly to cut
out these evils, and there is even more
reason why we should be careful not to
kill the patient in cutting out the dis
ease. / would never advocate your act
ing tinidly. Act intelligently, too. Re
member this, that what we have to
say to you Is to be gagged strictly
upon how it corresponds with what we
do. A promise that is made to the pub
lie should be kept as sacredly as a
promise made by a private individual
and should be followed by performance.
On the other hand you should no more
ask from a public man a promise that
it is impossible to keep than you should
ask it in private life. When you ask
that they shall say what they mean,
and you should limit your public serv-
ants to promising only what they can
perform.
At this point this morning the reg
ular passenger train passed the Roose-
welt special carrying with 1t Perry ;.
Heath and Col. r. G. KerenS and party,
bound for Chicago, where they will ar
rive tomorrow night. Greetings were
exchanged between the two parties dur
the few moments of the StOn.

board of trade wire.
New York, Sept 24-Too many strikes
too many politics and the fear of dearer
money are the factors that are responsible
securities in Wall street. Some of the
stanchest friends of the market break
upward at a pace that would attract the
attention of the whole speculative world
material Improvement in the situation at
present During the past good many
holders. It has been repeatedly asserted
that the selling of stocks has been mostly
for the short account, but reference to
statement will convince the most skeptical
that liquidation has more than offset. The
opinion among financiers IS that money
will work a little higher and that none
but the choicest securities VIII be accept
ninety days. The banks do not care to
carry IndustrialS even upon very heavy
margins and commission houses are dis
couraging trading in them except where
their clients wish to buy them outright.
1t is nevertheless an acknowledged fact
selling far below their legitimate value.
There is American Steel and Wire. COM
per cent and is selling under $50 per share,
while Sugar paying the same rate of divi-
dend is quoted around lis. The reader is
left to decide which is the greater bar
gain. What will develop this week is hard
to forecast, DuC from the temper Oh tne
street it is reasonably safe to venture the
prediction that fresh HQuidatio will make
its appearance unless there is decided
change in the character of the news. The
bears seem to be in control for the time
being, and with the aid they are getting
from unfavorabIe influences, are likely to
make further inroads upon values: 1t
does not seem prudent, however, to go
short after such decline as We have
had during the past week. There has been
a good deal of reckless selling of the local
traction stocks and when an attempt is
made to replace these sales some sharp
bulges will be recorded. The short inter
est in B. R T. alone is estimated at 49,
600 shares most of them being credited
to representatives of Tammany hall. As
yet However, there is evidence of I'M
easiness of the shorts, for they look for
the stock to go considerably lower and
continue to add to their lines on every
little rally. Sentiment is not quite so
bearish on Manhattan. but the prevailing
opinion is that it is too high, at least ten
points If we are to pass through a per-
Tod of uneasiness and disquiet similar TO
that of four years ago, it Will be simply
imprudent to take on any new responsi-
bilities The monied people In Wall
street have it within their power to de-
feat the designs of the raiders. VIII they
ignore the political phase Of the question
and rise to the Importance of the occasion.
If they wifi we shall have a first class
market, plenty of business and q big rise
in values. k N ACDSON-
