sWAMPED WITH INVITATIONS.
Hundreds of Things Which Senator
Hanna Is Asked to Do.

10 <NShCu TO To-
Senator Hanna has received an in.
vitation from every Republican state
convention thus far held to be pres.
ent and make an address. He has
been asked to deliver diplomas at
twenty colleges, while the requests
for his presence from young ladies'
seminaries and minor educational
institutions are too numerous to
count. In fact, the applications for
his appearance have become SO fire.,
quent that his secretary is kept busy
declining them. Mr.. Hanna signs the
letters and smiles when he writes his
autograph in bold hand at the bot
tom.
And even his autograph is not with,
out its value, says the Washington
Post. He was asked not long ago to
open fair out in Ohio and wrote that
it would be impossible for him to at,
tend. The clever managers ST the
fair at once put up his letter and
autograph at rattle and realized a
handsome sum.

Signed His own RESIGNATION.

Congressman Mercer, while making
the rounds of one of the departments
last week, asked a subordinate how
he liked his chief and was told that
the official in question never gave
any trouble, but always signed every
thing submitted to him. Mr.. Mercer
doubted this, .wAereupon the subordi-
nate offered to bet a box of cigars
that the chief would sign his own
resignation. A document of the re-
CURED character was slipped into a
pile of letters and laid on the chiefs
desk. In few minutes the CORE
spondence was brought back and it,
was found that Mr.. Mercer had lost
the cigars.

that, deprived of funds. President Cas-
tro viii be unable to maintain the
army and navy. and will be compelled
TO flee.
Those who know the president assert
that he viii not leave Venezuela, what
ever the fortunes of war may be, and
that ne viii fight until he is killed
or captured. The revolutionists are
also placing hope in Colombia, which
the Venezuelan president is endeavor-
ing to piacate. The authorities at
BogOta are sending men and war mu-
nitiOnS into western Venezuela.
The revolutionists OF Venezuela hold
the interior and eastern parts of Vene-
zuela, and the banks of the Orinoco,
which General Vlenult's expedition has
been ordered to clear, moving first on
Ciudad Bolivar.
Agents of the Venezuelan insurgents
in Trinidad say that new plan of
campaign has been adopted, and that
the center of the republic viii in future
be the scene of the operations, which,
they assert, are certain to result in the
entry of General Matos into Caracas.
This also was the revolItionists idea
when they were attacked by President
Castro at La Victoria, wnere they were
defeated, though it is asserted that
their retirement was due to a change of
plans. The truth seems to be that the
revolutionary party is without capable
direction in Venezuela. The subordi-
mates of General Mates advised him to
leave the country and permit them to
conduct the military operations, but
the revolutionary generals in this i'm
portant instance were jealous of each
other.
General Herrera holds Ciudad Boil
var independently, having received no
support from General Matos- Ven
ezueld is heartily sick of the revOlu-
ton and wants peace. A feeling is de-
veloping, especially among the COM
mercial interests. which have been
graveIy injured by the long period OF
unrest, in favor of the intervention of
the United States. This is not accepta-
BILE to President Castro, or the generals
of the revolution, who are hostile to
any movement on the part of Wash
ington to interfere with their plans. The
revolutiOnists charge the United States
with aiding President Castro. In sup
port of this contention, they cite the
failure of Secretary Hay to declare the
attitude of the United States in regard
to the blockade Of the OrinocO.
If it is true that President Castro
has arranged with Germany, his con-
tinuance in office, for a time at least, IS
assured. He has sufficient force to
meet the revOlutiOnistS and reDeI the
flibustering eXpenditionS- from Colom-
bia. That he viii be able to annihilate
the revOlutiOnists does not appear prob
able. So long as he is in, power, the
presidents enemies assert, he will have
a rebellion on hand, and the same con-
dition undoubtedly viii mark the ad-
ministration of his successor. The rev.
Olutionists aver that almost the entire
country supports General Matos. This
is an optimistic statement. The only
man able to unite the VenezUelans is
''EI Mocho," General Hernandez), who
is a prisoner.

that II Russia did not signify her ad-
herence TO the terms of the Brussels
sugar convention. Great Britain would
be compelled to impose a retaliatory
duty on Russian sugar. providing the
international commission decides that
Russia pays bounty on sugar.
