TWO TERMS ENOUGH.
President Puts Quietus on
Third Term Gossip.
A FIRM AND DECIDED STAND.
letter Issued From the White House
After Consultation with the Cab
inet-Wouid Not Accept RE-
nomination II rendered.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-President
Mckinley has put an effectual quietus
on the third term talk which has gained
some currency in the newspapers through
interviews with certain well known Re
publicans favoring the denomination of
the president for third term. Shortly
before the cabinet meeting adjourned Sec
retary Cortelyou gave to the press n
signed statement by the president intend
ID for the American people announcing
that he was not a candidate for third
term and would not accept renomina-
tion if one were rendered.
A decision to issue such a statement
was reached Monday night, when the
president read to the members of the
cabinet his proposed statement, at the
same time personally pledging each to
secrecy until public announcement was
made. The cabinet on hearing the rea-
sons the president advanced, which are
substantially set forth in the public an
nouDcement-namely, that talk of a third
term would react on the national policies
the administration is endeavoring to pro-
mote-coincided with the view Of their
chief that the present was an opportune
time for its promulgation. The phraseolo-
gy of the announcement was considered
further by the cabinet, and after a
change or two from the first draft Sec
retary Cortelyou was directed to make it
public.
The following is the statement given
out at the White House:
81 regret that the suggestion Of n third
term has been made. ] doubt whether |
am called upon to give ii notice. But
there are now questions of the gravest
Importance before the administration and
the country, and their just consideration
should not be prejudiced in the public
mind by even the suspicion of the thought
of a third term.
In view, therefore, of the reteration
of the suggestion of il | will say now,
once for all, expressing a long settled
conviction, that | not only am not and
will not be n candidate for Il third term,
but would not accept a nomination for
it If it were rendered me.
My only ambition is to serve through
my second term to the acceptance of my
countrymen, whose generous confidence
! SO deeply appreciate, and then. with
them, to do my duty in the ranks of pri-
vate citizenship"
