SAYS PRESIDENT HAS
ALlENATED THE SOUTH
The Rev. Dr. Dixon Declares Roosevelt IS Hated
Hanna Idolized-Education SpoilS Negro.

President Roosevelt is probably sin
cere in the attitude he has taken He
is also stubborn. His obstinacy has
aIienated from him the South. and at the
present time. in that section of the
country. he is the worst hated man who
ever sat in the White House. The peO-
pie Of the South are so bitter against
the President that they cannot discuss
him with any degree of patience.
Roosevelt DisIiked; Hanna an Idol
Personally I am a Democrat. but
voted for President Mckinley as did
thousands Of other Southern Democrats.
Il is safe 10 say. however. that these
Democrats will not vote for President
Roosevelt On the contrary. they will
do all they can 10 defeat him for the
nomination.
Senator Hanna is the idol OF the peo-
pie down there. In all probability nc
will have the solid support OF the Re
publicaDs below the Mason and Dixon
line This same section will line I'd
against President Roosevelt like a stone
wall"

STATEHOOD DEADLOCK
MAY Be BROKEN TODAY
Republicans Confident of
Reaching Agreement.
DEMOCRATS NON -COMMITTAL
Senators Beveridge and Nelson Still
Hold Out Against Compromise.
Quay More Hopeful.

Republican leaders early this morning
resumed their attempts 70 bring about
a party agreement on a compromise
Statehood bill. and express hope OF sue
cess some time during the day. AS soon
as the Republicans can act as unit on
the Statehood question the plan will be
submitted 10 the Democrats for their ac-
tion. The conference of Republican lead
ers. after practically an all-day session
yesterday. con unued its meeting until
past midnight at the house of Senator
Allison. and met again bright and early
this morning at the Capitol.
The extreme anti Statehood Senators.
particularly Messrs. Nelson and Bever-
idge, are still holding out against the
proposed compromise, and will not agree
10 anything that Mr.. Quay will consent
TO submit to his Democratic colleagues
which has a probability OF acceptance.
The Democratic Senators are inclined
10 be non-committaI as TO the course
they will pursue toward the compromise
taking the ground that they do not know
its exact terms But whether they re-
Ject or accept is or secondary Importance
compared with the unifcation OF the Re
publicans. All the efforts of the lead
ers are, therefore, directed toward
Messrs. Beveridge and Nelson, and It is
not thought they can hold out long
The remaining time OF the session is
so short, however. that the agreement
must be patched up today in order TO be
effective. as the consideration of the
treaties and the appropriation bills must
be begun at once in order 10 dispose Of
them before March 4.

committee and Diplomatists.

President Roosevelt had conference
a. the White House offices today with a
subcommittee or the House Committee
on coinage. consisting Of Representatives
Bouten OF Illinois. Cochran Of Missouri.
and Southard OF Ohio. They came in ref
erence 20 certain negotiations which
have been in progress between Secretary
hay. the Mexican Ambassador. Senor de
Azpiroz. and the Chinese Charge DAT
faires. Mr.. Shen. The foreign represen-
tatives named seek the cooperation Of
the United States in such measures as
will tend 10 restore and maintain a fixed
relationship between the moneys Of the
sold standard countries and the silver
using countries.
The President has given favorable con-
sideration and recommended TO Congress
that sufficient power be given the Execu-
tive 10 lend the support Of the United
States. II is proposed TO appoint three
commissioners 10 represent this country
ia the negotiations.
In bringing the matter TO the atten-
ton OF the President and Secretary Hay.
The Mexican Ambassador definitely stated
that his country does not ask the United
States 10 modify its present monetary
standard. nor seek the restoration OF the
free coinage OF silver. by either the gold
or silver using nations American capt
talists have 500 millions OF dollars in
vested in Mexico and If the money OF
that country and this could be brought
ITO a stable currency relation it would
simulate trade greatly. The same gen
eral argument equally applies TO China.
