III Health and Great Disappointment
In Roosevelt Given as the
Cause.
HANNA is OUT

Washin gton. Nov. 1.-THE News
correspondent is in a position TO state
positively that it is Senator Hanna
intention not only to decline to be a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president in 1904. but to re-
tire from politics to private life at
the end of his presen; term in the
senate. which expires in 1905.
Furthermore, the senator will not
consent to remain at the head of the
Republican national committee after
the 1904 convention. He has confided
his intention to a man in high official
life and there is no doubt of the cor
rectness of the attitude of the sena-
tor as given.
OF course subsequent developments.
it is said, may have some bearing in
the matter, but those who are familiar
with the senator's private condition of
mind. which is undoubtedly affected
by no reassuring state of health. say
that he is not willing to risk making
his physical plight seriously worse by
continuing in active politics. There
is not the slightest question of Sena-
ter Hanna S many friends in the Re
publican party steadfastly grooming
him to oppose Roosevelt for the nomi-
nation two years hence. and it has
been conceded infereatially in the
manifest apprehensions of the presl
dents hackers that the Ohio senator
would prove a most formidable com
petitor We're he in mind and shape
to make the race.
The definite understanding of Han
mas determination not only to pose
as a presidential possibility essential
to consider, but to retire from
politics for good and all at
the end of his present term. will
be realized with Widespread disappoint
ment among a large class of stalwart
Republicans who are dissatisfied with
the Roosevelt style as an executive
exponent Of Republican principles.
Among the few who are acquainted
with these facts it has been given

Wine of Cardui has benefited
every woman who has taken it. Such
remedy is worthy every woman's
confidence in the time of sickness

Wine of Cardui will cure any un-

1t is not a strong medicine but it
quickly relieves female troubles in an
easy and natural way. 1t strength
ems the nervous system, acts directly
on the genital organs and is the
finest tonic for women known to the

Saloon Men All Quit.

What is. perhaps. the most unusual
case in judicial annals of North Dakota
has just been settled at Williston The
prohibition law of this state provides
for minimum sentence of ninety days
in Jail and 5000 fine on convictions or
pleas of guilty. At Williaton. as in
some other of the Western towns. pub

the law. Enforcement league spottcrs
finally invaded that territory. and evil
dence was secured on which Judge
Cowan issued injunctions. At a recent
term of court compromise was ef-
fected. by which all the saloon men
signed an agreement never to engage
in the business again in this state, and
were given immunity from punish
ment. The injunctions remain in
force against the buildings, to prevent
further infractions of the law.

London, Oct. 27.-Emperor William
will arrive in England Nov and by
that time it is expected King Carlos
of Portugal also Will be guest of
King Edward. There is every reason
to believe that the meeting of the
three monarchs will result in I'M
portant international understandings,
especially as regards South Africa,
and more particularly Delagoa bay,
which is SO vitality important to Great
Britain as an outlet for her newly ac-
quired colonies. The Portuguese gov
eminent appears willing to transfer
some portions Of it's South African ter
ritory to British rule. Germany, how
ever, is understood to be strenuously
opposed to British trade securing such
an advantage-at any rate, unless Por-
tugal is willing to placate Germany by
granting her some similar conces-
sion, and it is believed that before the
emperor and King Carlos leave Eng
