WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE.
David u. Hin Absorbed In Practice
of Law-Has Found 1t More Lu-
cratiye Than Politics

New York, Feb. 3.-The announcement
that ex-senator Hill is not a candidate
for the presidential nomination of his
party in 1904 is made by the Albany cor
respondent of Lesles Weekly in the cur
rent issue. lie says:
Il have the highest authority for the
statement that Senator Hin is not a can
didate, in any sense. for the presidential
nomination, and that he is not RESPONSE
hIe for the action of his friends and will
in no way encourage the continuance of
such action. Whatever MIR. Hills ambl-
tion may have been in the past, he treas
ures no presidential ambition now. He is
engrossed in his law practice. 1t has
grown larger and more lucrative each
year, and his absorption in professional
duties gives him little time and less in
ciination to respond to the growing call
for him to actively assume the party's
leadership.
This reluctance on the part of the Sem
ator to re-enter public life is not the re-
suit of pique or disappointment. He sim
ply finds greater comfort and enjoyment
in the practice of his profession and less

has never been a source OF profit and
oft has given him hardly a comfortable
support. Like every other man who
reaches middle life Senator Hill looks for
ward to achieving substantial financial in
dependence by maintaining his establish
ed and well-settled professional practice.
He is devoting his best energies to that
end, and therefore he is not inclined to
respond to such calls as have been made
by the Texas Legislature and by promi-
nent Democratic leaders and organiza-
tions In the South and West.
Those who have intimate personal
relations with Senator Hill greatly doubt
whether he will ever consent 10 lead his
party again in presidential campaign.
While he is averse to making public ex-
preston of his feeling in the matter his
determination is not a secret. Devoted
as he has been for so many years to his
party's welfare, his withdrawal from pol
Hics is regarded as impossible. He will
continue to be an influential factor. but
this will not interfere with conviction
he has recently expressed to many friends
that officeholding is unsatisfactory and
Improbable.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 3.-Flre from
an unknown cause destroyed the large
plant of the National Wire Company at
Fair Haven early this morning, entailing
a property loss estimated at 1926 900.
The plant consisted of two one-story
buildings, which covered about Ave acres
of ground space and ali, except the wire
nail department, was reduced to ruins
through the lack of facilities for fighting
the flames.
The Fair Haven hose company found it.
self unable to cope with the situation, and
a call was sent to New Haven for help
This the local department refused, ex-
cept for the sending of one steamer and
hose cart on the ground tnat the wire
works. situated outside the city limits,
Haven.
Meanwhile the fire was making great
headway. The buildings, built near to-
gether, formed a double furnace in which
the flames burned at will, spreading from

steamer and the hose company from New
Haven seemed a mockery, and the work
ers turned their attention to the adjacent
buildings to prevent the spread of the
fire beyond the confines of the wire works.

fate.
The conflagration lasted until late into
the day.

NEELYS BIG SHORTAGE.
Amount of Stolen stamps May he
$3OO,OO0-A Cash Bond 40 lie
Demanded.

Havana, Feb. 3.-The military govern
ment will demand cash bond from c.
F. w. Nicely, the alleged defaulter. What
the amount will be has not been stated. as
Neely's lawyer absolutely refuses to de-
post cash, fearing that It will be seized.
The charges will aggregate an embez-
element of over 100000 with the possibn.
ity of the amount being materially in
creased. The judge of the court of first
Instance is inclined to hold that NeeIy is
guilty Of stealing surcharged stamps to
the amount of 100000 and as the ques-
lon OF bail at present rests with him, the
cash to be deposited would exceed that
figure. The counsel for the government
are confident of convlcting Neely, apart
from the stamp burning incident w. II
Reeves, who will probably be the star
witness for the government, and who
has been undergoing almost daily exam
rations by the postoffice inspectors for
month, asserted to-day that the whole
method OF Neely's alleged stealings had
been revealed under promise of immunity.

aries at Work.

Manila, Feb. 3.-Fewer than 400 persons
attended the meeting called to-day by
Senior Buencamino at the Rizal Theater
in the Tondo ward of Manila, to inaugu-
rate the evangelical movement" Con-
siderable interest was manifested in the
proceedings and there were some express
siCals of approval of the addresses. No
attempt, however, was made to commit
the meeting to Professionalism, that as
pect of the case being left for subsequent
action, at his discretion, TO Rev. James
B. Rogers, a missionary of the Pres
byterian board. who was present.
Senor Buencsmino explained that reli-
sious effort was wholly outside the Fed
eral party, which had been organized
solely to promote political peace.
The first mild appIause occurred when
he compared priests to white ants, which
eat the substance and leave nothing of
value"
Senior Buencamino ergued in favor of
supplanting the present priests with Fill
pinos having the privilege of marrying.
Gradually he led up to Protestant ideas
and asked whether they were any longer
to submit to the authority of a Pope or
an Archbishop Some shouted NOT But
others remained silent. The Rev Mr..
Rodgers preached short sermon, but
refrained from any criticism of Roman
Catholics. The Rev. Mr.. Prautch of tho
Methodist mission, offered the four gos-
pels in Tagalog and anti-friar tracts,
which were sold at the door by Nicolas
Seamora, a native Methodist revivalist,
who conducts eXhortation meetings every
Sunday.
Prior to the meeting in the Rial Thea
ter there was a political gathering, at
tended by practically the same people, at
which the advantages of American SOW
ereignty were explained from the FEEDER
al party point of view
A Methodist minister baptized a hundred
Filipinos this afternoon at Malibay. about
four miles from Manila. The Rev. Mr..
Prautch has secured a score of sigma
lures in neighboring village to a declar-
alton In favor of handing the church over
to Protestant worship and debarring Ro-
man Catholics.
President Taft of the Philippine Com
mission this evening entertained at his
residence the members of the directo
of the Federal party. The reception was
by many Filipino ladies, and a
number of high military and civil officials.
There was a charming gathering on the
lawn.
Three hundred insurgents, members of
Delgardo's former command, have sur
rendered at Santa Barbara, Island of

NO FIGHT IN Ohio
SAYS GOV. NASH TO CINCINNATI
PETITIONERS.
PRIZE FIGHTERS WORRIED.
SPEND SUNDAY IN DISCUSSING THE
SITUATION.

Has Given Instructions to the
Prosecuting Attorney and the
Sherih-The Latter Directed to
Swear In Deputies and Exercise
His Full POwers--CincInnati' PO-
lice Commission VIII Follow Gov
ernOr's Wishes.
Columbus. O.. Feb. Gov. Nash to-day
made the first public statement of his
position with regard to the proposed JEFF
fries Rubin fight at Cincinnati and the
grounds upon which his determination to
prevent the fight taking place in Ohio is
based. The statement is in reply to a
petition from the John c. Roth Packing
Company and 1000 other citizens of Gin
cinnati, protesting against Interference
with the fight.
Gov. Nash says that he fears the petit
TONERS have been misled by erroneous
legal advice. He quotes the law relating
to prize fighting aud boxing contests, and
says:
THE proviso upon which you rely reads
as follows:
Provided, that nothing in the fore
going shall apply to any public gymnasium
or athletic club or any of the exercises
therein, if written permission for the spe-
cific purpose shall first have been obtain
ed from the sheriff of the county; or, IT,
the exercises or exhibition are held with
in the limits of a municipal corporation,
of the Mayor of such corporation
In my opinion the proviso covers only
exercises among the members OF the clup
and exhibitions in which members only
take part. Even If my Interpretation is
too strict, 1t does not authorize the bring
ing together of noted przetighters aud the.
offering of a large purse TO the one who
prevails over the other"
Again the Saengerfest Association OF
Cincinnati and the exhibition which it
proposes to give is not such an associa-
tion, and not such a contest as Is con-
templated by Section $3.50. 1t was organ
lied simply for the purpose of lodging
the law and bringing off a contest be
tween two great fighters The law can
not and will not be trihed with in this
manner"
Stating his reasons for believing that
the alleged glove contest is to be a prize
fight the Governor refers to the moving
picture contract which states that the
profits to be derived from these pictures
shall be divided equally between the as-
sociation and the tighter or fighters"
Continuing, he says:
1.-THE winner of the contest is offered a
larger prize by thousands of dollars than
tho loser. This will cause them to strike
not only skillfully, but hard. The inn
mense multitude of people from distant
states and cities, some at least not pos
sessing the highest order of citizenship
will be terribly excited. Such men would
brook no interference; your police will be
overpowered and your city will be visit
ed with disgrace"

Cincinnati, Feb. 3-There has been more
anxiety than training at the quarters OF
Jeffries, Rubin. Martin and Childs to-

all the promoters of the fight chat Gov.
Nash has not only given his ultimatum to
