OUR WASHINGTON LETTER..

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 18th.
Mr. EDIToR:-Therc are breakers ahead
of the Hanna boom for the Republican
Presidential nomination. and they are re-
publican breakers, too. With three years
of pie distribution ahead, the average re
publican of prominence doesn't care to
risk his share by offending the chief dis
tributor at this time That is why the
boom has not been publicly jumped on by
more republicans. Privately, prominent
republicans do not hesitate to say that
Mark Hanna has no better chances to be-
come Emperor of China than he has to
become President of the United States.
They say the talk of Hanna's popularity
is precisely like that of his popularity with
republican Senators-confined to those
who wish to use Hanna to pull the leg Of
the administration for favors.
Assistant Secretary of State Hill read
the riot act to Minister Conger as soon as
that chattering diplomat reached Wash
ington, and Conger got on his dignity;
also his ear. 1t is understood that he told
Mr. Hill that he would not resign, and
that unless he was nominated for Governor
of Iowa, by the republicans, the admins
tration would have to recall him if it did
not wish him to return to China at the eX
piration of his present leave of absence.
That it doesn't wish him to return is GER

1t is admitted by War Department Off
Gals that the radical pro English remarks
made by Gen. Chaffee, at an entertainment
given by English officers in Pekin, were
"a little imprudent," but they add that
Secretary Root does not take serious
view Of the matter and that he will not
ask Gen Chaffee for an explanation I'M
less some of the powers make a protest
1t naturally strikes many as strange that
the Secretary of War should not regard it

MRS. McKINLEY'S ILLNESS.

The serious illness of Mrs. Mckin-
ley, San Francisco dispatch states,
will compel the President to abandon
his trip to the other States which were
included in his itinerary. Mrs. Nc
kinleys health has been far from
robust in the past few years, and prob
ably the long trip to the Pacific Coast
was too great tax upon her strength.
The public generally will hope that
she may be res ored to 'ealth. Secre-
tary Long, who accompanied the
Presidential party, has been informed
CT the dangerous illness OF his daughter
at Colorado Springs and will be unable
TO remain with the President. 1t is
to be regretted that a tour which be-
gan most auspiciously for the Presi-
dent and his party should be termi-
mated so abruptly. The President, it
is hoped, will have no reason to regret
a journey during which he has met
many thousands of his fellow citizens
and has been received everywhere with
the greatest consideration and cordial
ity.-BuHimo,e Sun.

BOWIE, Md, April goth, 1901

The friends of Capt George NJ Smith,
of Bowie district, are pushing him forward
with all possible earnestness for the nomi-
nation for State Senator at the election
this Fall. Tft Captains unbounded pop
ularity assures him his home district, and,
from present indications. there is every
possibility of his delegates being chosen
by acclamaton. Not alone is his popu-
larity and strength recognized in his home
district Int it is asserted that the logic Of
his Termination Is: +already recognized by
the leaders in enough districts to assure
him the nomination at the County Con-
vention. His close identification with all
classes-the laborer, farmer. merchant,
lawyer. etc, places him in the light of
being the strongest candidate that could
be advanced for the State Senatorship
nomination. His views on questions in
volving the public welfare have always
proved to be broad and sound. He now
stands unalterablv for constitutional
convention While his, the 14th election
district, is conceded to be the banner Re
publican district of the county. his friends
claim that he will himself receive Il maj
ity in this Republican Gibraltar: Rex.

The one consideration in the rcIa-
tions of Cuba to the United States
which is deemed of more Importance
than any other by the intelligent Gu
bans is a profitable market for the
islands chief products, sugar and to-
bacco,'' says the Washington Test.
"Unfortunately for them, that indispen-
sable requisite of Cuban prosperity
will not be conceded without bitter
factional fight in the Republican party.
There are in Congress and IN the press
representatives of those interests, and
especially Of sugar, who will insist on
protecting American producers by
duties so high as to disappoint any
hopes the Cubans may entertain OF
gaining prosperity through trade with
the United States"

in Washington, D. c., since Friday
last came to an end Wednesday night.
The closing session was marked 10y an
unusual interchange Of compliments
between the retiring officers and those

conference, nor did the delegates look
for or propose anything of the kind
The entire purpose Of the conference
centered in the exchange Of views on
matters relating to sociology. Many
eminent speakers have been heard, and
a great deal of valuable data has been
submitted to the delegates, which will

The recent epidemic Of bank defa,,-
cations is chargeable by Treasury De-
partment officials to the speculative
boom that has been agitating the
country. Since the stock market be-
gan to go up, no less than seven cases
of defaulting bank officials have come
to light, in four of which the banks
concerned have been forced to suspend.
1t is expected, too, that the crash Of
last week has involved others which
have not been heard from.
