SERIOUS BLAZE AT NORMAN.
Started in Restaurant and Swept Near
an Entire Block.

Special to Daily Leader.
Norman, Okla, July S.-The most
disastrous fire in the history OF the
city occurred yesterday afternoon, de-
stroying one entire business block and
entailing a loss of about $4,000.
The fire starte6 n a restaurant on
the south side Of Main street about
o'clock p. m The flames quickly
spread to adjoining buildings, being
famed by high wind.
The fire department was almost
helpless against the fire. the water
supply being very limited.
All the buildings in the block east
of the Santa Fe railway on the south
side of the street, excepting the Nor
man State bank and Carey-Lombard
buildings, which are built of brick.
were entirely destroyed. The burned
buildings were all frame structures,
mostly small, and occupied by restaur-
ants. saloons, barber shops, etc.
The flames caught into the buildings
or the north side of the street a num-
ber of times, but heroic work prevent
ed the buildings from being burned.
AS it is. nearly all the glass fronts in
them were destroyed. None of the
buildings on the north side were dam
aged more rnan this.
During the fire an appeal was sent
to the Oklahoma City fire department
for assistance, but owing to lack of
transportation facilities, was unable
to respond. The entire population
turned out to fight the flames.
The loss will reach $4,000, about
$4,000 of which is covered by insur-
ance.

FIGURE HANNA
IN THE RACE
Friends Now Admit He is
aTacit Presidential
Candidate

Washington. q. c., July SIT is ad-
mitted by Senator Hanna's friends
that from this time forth he may be
considered candidate for the Repub'
lican nomination for president in 1904
MI Hanna Will deny that he is a can
dldate. but lines already are shaping
Tor a contest between himself and
Colonel Roosevelt
There is mo doubt that Senator
Quay Of Pennsylvania will throw his
entire influence to President Roose-
welt. There Is bitter personal enmity
between Hanna mad Quay.
Hanna's plan las been to corral
delegates fol-. the next Republican con
vention and hold them ''in trust" for
President Rooseyeltsa Quay represents
a school Of politics that takes nothing
on trust. He thinks the delegates
who are for Roosevelt should beseon-
trolled by Roosevelt, not by Hanna.
He IS suspicious Of the Ohio senator.
To the casual observer it is made
II appear that Hanna wants Roose-
welt renominated as much as anybody.
He is playing TO get. in a position
where he ca nsas he has been in the
band wagon az the time IA the sent-
ment for Roosevelt at convention time
is too strSng to be overdome. or
where he can take the delegates him
self If enough disaffection exists to
make the possible.
Hanna's SOURCES on Strength. -
Hanna has two points Of strength
The first is that almost the entire Re
publican membership Of congress IS
against Roosevelt The second is that
the big financial and business men Of
she countryr-the great railroad opera
tors, the Wall street magpates. the
men who control the vast combina-
tions of capitalize not deem Roose
welt safe and do think Hanna emf
nently SOL

president IS not so weighty as the fact
that the financial interests are against
him. Wall street and its allies do
much toward debating the nomination

The point that viii be urged against
