The passinn of Hanna.

Politicians here generally look upon the results of the Ohio convention as mean ing the passing of Senator M. A. Hanna. With the Roosevelt indorsement resolu- tion forced down his throat and his wishes in the matter of nominating an old soldier for the second place on the tick ct turned down. the Roosevelt machlne seems to have run over the once powerful Hanna roughshod.
 Senator Hanna's health, as 1t will be conveyed to the public, will probably not permit of his managing the republican campaign next year. The senator IS ex- nected to resign the chairmanship of the republican national committee, and ms efforts for the reelection of President Roosevelt wiU not extend beyond the de- livery of a few hands of' tariff speeches.
 Reports from Ohio indicate that whole sale assertions from the Hanna side are noticeable It seems to be case or rats deserting a sinking ship Already Repre- sentative Grosvenor, a former stauneh Hama supporter, Is credited with having allied himself to the Foraker faction. His friends assert that the defection between the two men was caused by dispute about the appointment of pension agent hut the best explanation Is that Gros- venor thinks Hanna Is down and out. Sem ator Hannas friends here are alarmed at the turn affairs have taken, and not q few of them regret that he did not make A fight for his resolution instead of making an unconditional surrender to the President.

May Extend to
 Star Route Department
GOSSIP OF TIE CAPITAL
Many Believe That the Result Of the Ohio Convention Will be the Pass Ing of Senator arna-Hls Ma
 chine is Breaking Down.
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, June 7.-tSpecial)-A high government official expresses the opinion that before the present investigation in the postofhce department under the office of the first assistant postmaster general is concluded its scope Is liable to be extended to that subdivision of the department headed by the second assist ant postmaster general
 This opinion is based upon reports that there are large opportunities for fraud In the letting of star route contracts. It is declared that the books of the de- partment will show that parties are being paid amounts for carrying the mall great ly in excess of a fair rate. Whether any of the excesses represents graft. extra vagance or simply the inability of the de- partment to get the malls delivered Tor a smaller amount, remains for an inVes- tigation to determine.
 Under the present rules of the depart ment the old system of competitive bid ding has been abandoned. The evils Of speculation and the suspicion that con- tractors banded together to bid at high figure. led the department to rule that carrier must be a resident of the route he serves. While this,s to great extent has eliminated the professional bidder it has also opened the door for fraud in that the carrier may receive information as to what the government is willing to pay Tor the service and in return may turn over a percentage to his informer
 It is undoubtedly true that the star route service, which Is gradually being displaced by rural free delivery, Is now very effi- icent service Under the new rule, how ever, the expense is enormous.
 Since the star route frauds of the Brady days, the heads of the departments have kept a close watch on this branch of the service in order to avoid recurrence of scandal The opportunities Tor fraud were thought to be reduced to a minimum although the declaration is now made by man thoroughly familiar with post office matters that there is possibly new field for the already overworked postoff1ce insnectOrS.

FRENCH STEAMERS COLLIDE
 AND 100 PASSENGERS DROWNED
MANY SHOTS FIRED ON
 THE STREETS OF JACKSON

and other places that are guarded Ihe friends of Coclxrill have asked Governor Beckham to have some other judge in place of Redwine on the bench during the trials this week.
 It Is claimed that the shooting. which continued until daylight this morning was due to the usual Saturday night drunken earousals around the blind tigers and not to any feud troubles. As there is no town marshal and the county officers refuse to act and martial law has not been pro- claimed so troops can make arrests there seems to be no means of maintaining law and order. Jett and White were not the least disturbed in jail over the shooting that was going on. but rather seemed to enjoy 1t. The shooting is believed by some to have been intended to intimidate wit nesses at the trial that begins tomorrow.

The Electoral Vote.

The plank in the Ohio republican plat form calling for a reduction of the elec- torsl vote of any state excluding any of its citizens from the ballot" is expected to annear in various forms in other re- nuhlican conventions this year, and there will at least be strong effort to have if incorporated in the national platform next year.
 The plank is, of course, not aimed at Massachusetts, but at Mississippi, Ala hama and other of the southern states which has disfranchised the ignorant black. Crurlpacker and his adherents doubtlessly consider the Ohio plank and tndorsement of their efforts of the past four years They probably reason that the plank would not have appeared in the platform undess the President fa- yored It. and they are probably not in- correct in their view
 No one, however, takes the Ohio utter ance seriously as far as direct results are concerned Even among republicans who go back to their districts shouting the loudest about negro disfranchisement there Is a wonderfully strong conviction that the southern people are the best friends of the colored man, and are doing their utmost to work out the race prob lem The efforts to reduce southern rep- resentation will never get further than a convention. The reason Ohio and h. diana republican statesmen continually aejtate 1t is because the former state polls B 900 negro votes and the latter 20.O0O. If the negro vote were eliminated in the two states 1t would take a repub- lican landslide to carry the state for the renubIican ticket

The mills were located along the banks of the stream in deep valley high hills rs- ing on either side and they caught the full force of the flood.
