THE CLEVELAND SENTIMENT.
It is to Be Transferred to Richard
Olney

A western politician Of standing. who
on his way west, after a visit to New Eng
land. In which he discussed politics with
prominent men, made the statement to a
Star reporter that ex-Secretary of State
Olney of Massachusetts is to be the real
recipient of the Cleveland strength
1T is the understanding in New Eng
land" said this politician. that Mr.. Cleve
land regards his own nomination as hope
less, but that he is pleased to see re-
vival of what may be called Cleveland SEN
timent: that is. rejuVenation of the old
conservative forces in the democracy.
The word has gone around that when
this sentiment is ready to crystalline in
favor of some presidential candidate. Mr..
Olney is Mr.. ClevelandS choice and will be
acceptable to eastern democrats. Accord
ing to the views of the New England demo-
cratic leaders. Mr.. Olney stands for all that
is good in Clevelandism, without the ham
dicap of the personal unpOpularity of Mr..
Cleveland with some classes of democrats.
The New England democrats are dis
posed to be quite confident. AS a western
man, however. l find one fault with their
proposed candidate. namely. his lack of
personal magnetism. | am afraid Mr.. Olney
may fail to arouse that white heat of en-
thusiasm among the delegates which will
be necessary to weld the factions in the
next convention.
"As a cold intellectual proposition Mr..
Olney is all right. AS a political PROPOSE
ton think he is "a few chips shy both as
a candidate for nomina ton and as rival
for the strenuous republican whom he will
have to oppose.
However. 1 am giving you the New Eng
land end of the story entirely They
fixing up the deal along the lines / have
mentioned. and the rest will be attended to
by the convention.

CONCESSION
Allows Manchurian Ports to
Be Opened to Us.
A CONFERENCE TODAY
MR.. HANSEN, THE CHARGE, CALLS
ON THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
Interview Held Afterward With MI.
Rockhill-Developm Of Mo-
ment Expected in Few Days.

Far-reaching In its effect on the Man
churian situation was the conference at the
State Department today between Secretary
Hay and Mr.. Theodore Hansen, the Rus
sian charge d'affaires. who called. 1t Is un-
derstood. with important advices from St
Petersburg regarding the ports in Man
churia which Russia is willing China shall
open to the United States. This has been
the question that had deadlocked the nego-
tiations for some time What effect today's
conference had on the negotiations can only
be surmised, both of the conferees de-
clined politely but firmly to discuss the sub
ject.
Immediately after Mr.. Hansen's departure
Mr. Hay sent for Mr.. Rockhill. chief of
the bureau of American republics. who was
formerly American commissioner to China,
and the two were in conference until lunch
con time. Mr. Rockhills intimate knowl-
edge of the eastern question. gained
through long residence there, is duly ap-
preciated at the State Department, and be-
fore Count Cassini's departure he was fire.
quently at the Russian embassy in con-
nection with the negotiations.
1t was indicated today by State De-
partment official that the next few days
may bring to light important develop
ments regarding the Chinese-American
treaty.
1t can be stated that the Russian govern
tiveS here of the peculiar circumstances
under which the statement of the President
was issued through the State Department
in which Russia was criticised for her east
ern policy. The fact that Secretary Hay
was out of the city at that time and SO far
as is known had nothing to do with the
statement has operated to prevent more
serious outcome of that statement.
Indeed. the Russian government is dis
posed to ignore the reference to Manchurla
and In view of the fair and straightfor-
ward attitude of Secretary Hay as regards
the Manchurian situation. the Russian au-
thorities are unwilling to do anything that
would embarasS him or injure the tradl-
tiOnal good relations between the two coun-
tries. In Russian circles no secret Is made
of the fact that the attitude of the Secre-
tary has gone far toward preventing the
serious consequences which at the time it
was feared might result from mixing the
kishineff and Manchurian questions.
Mr.. Hansen did not allude to the jewish
matter this morning.
