MR. MICHENER'S LETTER
HE MAKEs A STATEMENT IN ne
GARD TO THE REPLIES.


A latter sent from this city by Mr.. L. T.
Kitchener of Indiana, now resident here. to
friends in that state has found its way in
print. A copy Of the letter is as follows:
WASHINGTON. D. c., November Z. 1902.
Hon. - Blank. 49,. Ind.
My Dear Mr.. Blank: 1t is believed here
that Senator Hanna will try to get the
presidential nomination in 1904. and that he
expects the support of Indiana. Some OF
the Presidents friends are little uneasy
about it, Do you think that Hanna could
take Indiana away from Roosevelt-or- Fair
banks? Kindly let me have your views by
next mail, IL at all convenient. With kind
est regards, yours truly,
L. T. MICHENER.
Mr.. Kitchener made the following state
ment today:
Just after the election in November, and
entirely on my own notion, / wrote about
thirty friends Of mine in Indiana for the
purpose of ascertaining what the sentiment
was concerning the President, Mr.. Fair
banks and Mr.. Hanna. did so because
had heard statements made here that 1 did
not think were quite exact. I received
about twenty-five answers to my letters.
These answers show that with the ex-
ception of Oliver p. Morton. no republican
has ever had such hold on the respect and
affection of the republicans OF Indiana as
that now possessed by Mr.. Fairbanks. The
state Is his and he can do as he likes with
it. II he should be a candidate in 1904 he
will have the loyal, earnest and aggressive
support Of the republicans of Indiana. These
letters state. also, that IL Mr.. Fairbanks
should not be a candidate In 1904. and If
Mr.. Hanna and the President should be OPP
posing candidates for the nomination. there
would be very sharp struggle for the In
diana delegation. with the result in doubt.
Both Mr. Hanna and the President have
the confidence of the republicans Of that
state. and either would be an acceptable
candidate. SO these letters assert"

NAVAL OFFICERS. UNIFORMS.
Considering Expediency of Requiring
Them to Be Worn While on Duty Here.

Secretary Moody Is considering the ex-
pedency of requiring all naval officers on
duty in Washington, including those at the
Navy Department, to wear their uniforms
while on duty. This practice prevails An the
War Department, and 1t has been suggested
to Secretary Moody that if it is good for the
army it ought to be good for the navy. 1t
is recognized on all sides that the plan has
many advantages, and also that 1t is open
to some objections. The main objection
comes from the officers themselves, VINO, as
a rule do not care to wear their uniforms
except when on purely military duty, In the
field or in garrison in the case Of an army
officer and on board ship in the case of
naval officer.
Another objection made to the practice Is
that it tends to draw attention to the large
number of officers stationed in this city, and
also gives the opponents of the administra-
ton an opportunity to raise the cry of mill
tarsm Army officers have been wearing
their uniforms during Office hours ever since
the Spanish war. but up to this time 1t has
not been contemplated to extend the prac-
tice to the navy.
1t Is said that the President has prepared
an order to the effect that army and navy
officers who wear uniform while on duty
in Washington shall don the entire apparel.
Mr.. Roosevelt recently encountered on. the
street an army officer attired in light gray
trousers, the service blouse and a derby
hat. a combination of garb that impressed
the President as most unmiltary. He was
inclined. 1t is said. to require officers Of the
army and navy to appear while on duty
here in the full uniform of their grade but
the objection of some naval officers to the
for them, new condition has led the Presi-
dent to make the order less obligatory, with
the stipulation. however, that whenever the
uniform Is worn 1t should be In its entirety
and not fragmentary. s.-

THE GOVERNMENT BOARDERS.
They Commenced Their Second Week
Today-Same Bill of Fare.

The even dozen Of young men who have
consented to allow Uncle Sam to feed them
In the interests of science began their sec
ond week of self-abnegation and heroic sac
rifice this morning. The breakfast served
them by the government cook, under the
direction of DR.. Wiley of the bureau of
chemistry Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture was about the same as that which has
been served them through the past seven
days. No effort has yet been made to ascer-
tain the value or harmfuiress of certain
chemicals that are alleged to be used in
food stuffs to prevent decomposition and in
sure preservation This week will be de-
voted to ordinary healthful food stuffs.
DR.. Wiley intends to be sure OF the nor
NAL condition of his patients. If such they
may be called, before beginning his ex-
perments. Those who have offered them
selves for the sacrifice have been cautioned
not to eat anything but that prepared for
them by the government cook employed for
the purpose. whose praises these scientific
subjects have been singing throughout the
past week. The food has been simple and
nutritious in the extreme, and DE-. Wiley
expressed himself we'll satisfied with the
results SO far. He has not gone far, as
yet. as has been explained In order to Sc
cure an exact basis on which the expert
ments with the chemicals can be pro-
ceeded with the twelve boarders are re-
quired to take accurate account Of their
temperature, respiration. etc. In this man.
ner. by careful compilation of the results
obtained and a little mathematical calcula-
ton, a table of averages can be secured on
which to base the calculations for judging
the harm done by the alleged impurities or
chemicals that are to be introduced in the
food hereafter.
This week the free boarders Of the de-
partment will be given in the same manner
as last. No chemicals will be introduced
and the subject will be required to take his
temperature as frequently and as accu-
rately as before. His weight will be taken
each day and entered on the table that
contains the portions of the pedigree as
ascertained up to date. DIR. Wiley was not
at the department very long yesterday. He
left the city at noon for New York. where
he Will address the Hundred Year Club on
the subject of the relation Of chemistry to

GEN. DICK FOR GOVERNOR.
His Announcement Expected During
the Coming Holidays.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS. Ohio, December S.-Repub-
Ncan politicians here are now coming to the
conclusion that General Dick is to be a can
didatc for the nomination for governor
next year after all. They had already
agreed that IL he wanted the nomination he
would get it. Many of them thought thar
Senator Hanna, who must be reelected by
the Legislature to be chosen in next year
campaign would want General Dick to con-
duct that campaign for him. and of course
he would not be both candidate for gov
ernor and chairman of the state campaign
committee; at least, that would be an I'M
precedented thing.
But they reason that Senator Hanna ana
General Dick have now had time to reach
an understanding in the matter, and doubt
less have done so. If the conclusion were
that General Dick should not be caiFdi-
date for governor next year there would be
no reason why it should not be announced.
1t is believed here that General Dick VIII
announce himself candidate for the
nomination for governor during the holiday
congressional recess. ard that all the other
candidates for the nomination will with
draw. The fact that, by such course,
Senator Hanna and General Dick might
seem to be cornering the best things in
sight ii is believed will not put the state in
danger of going democratic. Ohio is now
regarded here as second only to PeTnSyl-
vania in permanency of its republicanism.
