PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO 1T.
Senator Hanna So Declares in Inter
view at Columbus.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May Ex-senator
Hanna passing through Columbus on his
way home from the state centennial this
morning, took occasion to repudiate the
statement reported to have been made Dy
him to Col. John c. Entrekin at Chillicothe
yesterday to the effect that Senator For
aker's demand that the state convention
indorse President Roosevelt for the noni-
nation TO rthe presidency was intended to
smoke him OUT and was almost malic-
ious."
1T is true" said he, that l am opposed
to the Endorsement, and shall oppose it un-
til some one shows me reason for this
years convention doing next years work.
1T is not only unprecedented, it is abso-
lutely ridiculous. President Roosevelt HIM
self is opposed to it."
Senator Hanna will come to the cOnven-
ton not only as the chosen temporary
chairman, but as delegate from his ward
in Cleveland so that he will have right to
the floor, and he proposes to take the floor
in opposition to the proposed indorsing
resolution If it is offered.

The st. James Gazette today prints an in

is quoted as saying:
lone of my last official acts before leav-
ing st. Petersburg was to interrogate the
Russian government on its policy toward
Manchuria- / was assured that Russia had
no desire to see the Manchurian ports
closed to the United States or have its con-
suls excluded.
Open Door Policy.
1.-The Russian government was emphatic
in declaring that it was as one with Ameri-
ca in the open door policy I'm China, and
what applies to the United States must
apply to every other power. Your govern
ment also received and accepted similar
assurances.

believe that Russia Is quite sincere in the
matter. She points out that X is to her
own interest to support that policy, and
think that Is the case.
1.-The Russian statesmen are very anxious
that the Siberian railway shall be a sue
cess and to be so it must get freight, and
freight In large quantities. Russia cannot
of herself supply sufficient to make the
railway the desired success"
No Cause for Alarm.
You do not consider, then, that the situ-

do you think the United States will
view Mr.. Chamberlain's policy in regard to
protection with disfavor?" was the report

We Have Set Example.
II do not see why it should. We have set
you the example. The suggestion that you

THE EUROPEAN STATION
DEPARTURE OF THREE CRUISERS
FOR THE ORIENT.
The San Francisco to Join Admiral
Cotton-The Brooklyn to Re-
place the Chicago.

Important changes in the organization OF
the European squadron were announced at
the Navy Department today. Three pro-
tected cruisers, the Albany, Cincinnati and
Raleigh, recently attached to that squad
ron, sailed in company from Villefranche
yesterday bound for the orient, where they
will be attached to the Asiatic station, un-
der the general command of Rear Admiral
Evans The three vessels under the
temporary command of Commander John
A. Rodgers of the Albany, the senior Of
ficer of the small fleet. They will proceed
direct to Port Said and then continue their
voyage through the Suez canal, the Red
sea, the Arabian sea and the Indian ocean.
On reaching the Asatic station they will
be Joined by the protected cruiser New Or
leans, now in those waters, and the four
vessels which are of the same type and
class will constitute a separate division
of the Asiatic fleet 1t is not yet settled
who will have command of this new divi-
sion, but it will undoubtedly be some Of
ficer on the station.
Will Be Joined by San Francisco.
The departure of these three vessels re-
duces the European squadron to the flag
ship Chicago and the gunboat Machias,
last reported at Marseile. The small
squadron will soon be Joined, however, by
the protected cruiser San Francisco, which
vessel has just sailed from Santiago de
Cuba for Lisbon, Portugal where she will
await orders from Rear Admiral Cotton,
commanding the European squadron, and
will join him at place yet to be appoint-
ed. On her way across the Atlantic the
San Francisco will stop at Bermuda for
the purpose of receiving supplies which
have been forwarded to her by the supply
ship Culgoa which sailed from New York
yesterday for that purpose.
Brooklyn to Replace Chicago.
Another change contemplated in the Eu-
ropean squadron is the substitution Of the
armored cruiser Brooklyn, now repairing at
the New York navy yard, as the fiafiship
of Rear Admiral Cotton in place of the pro-
tected cruiser Chicago, which, 1T is said, is
to be brought to the United States for
needed repairs. This change, however, will
not be made for several months.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
no orders have been sent from there for
the European squadron to visit the German
port of Kiel, but that port is within the
limits of the station commanded by Rear
Admiral Cotton he can visit there at his
own discretion at any time without asking
the authority of the Navy Department.
