Berlin, Dec. 5.-The Lokal Anzeiger
reports that the Car of Russia is in very
poor health that his nerves are entirely
unstrung, and that he has a worried and
worn appearance as of one who is over

be has never completely overcome this.
His majesty, continues the Anzeigsr,

after which his doctors insist that he go
south and spend month or two of the
winter at Livadia. They hope that this
change of climate will bring about the

HANNA AND ROOSEVELT.

An interview took place last night at
the White House between President
Roosevelt and Senator Hanna which ap-
pears to have been more earnest than cor
dial. Mr.. Hanna went to the White
House, having been sent for by the Pres
ident. He returned to his hotel at IL
O'Clock with the air of man thoroughly
annoyed. 81 won't say word,' he said
to the newspaper men who greeted him.
"There's been too much talky talk as it
is"
Mr.. Hannas summons to the White
House was due TO a wish of the President
to talk to the Ohio Senator about his at
titude of opposition to the confirmation
of General Wood and also a desire by
Mr.. Roosevelt to learn Mr.. Hanna's at
titude on the question of Perry Heath
remaining secretary of the republican
national committee. Mr.. Roosevelt is
said to believe that if Mr.. Heath ten
ders his resignation when the committee
meets here next week it ought to be ac-
cepted. The Presidents attitude toward
Mr.. Heath's furtherservices as secretary
of the committee is said to be due to the
comments on Mr.. Heath made by
Mr.. Bristow in his recent report on the
scandals in the Postoffice Department.
Mr.. Hanna gave the President no sat
isfaction on either ofthe two points. He
announced sometime ago that he assum-
ed that General Wood would be "white-
washed" by the military affairs commit
tee, but that he intended to carry the fight
against him into the Senate. On the
question of Mr.. Heath's resignation Mr..
Hanna differs as radically from the Pres
ident as he does about General Wood.
Mr.. Hanna will not in any way encour-
age any movement to displace Mr.. Heath
as secretary. indeed, if Mr.. Heath shows
any disposition to retire Mr.. Hanna will
urge him not to do so, and will oppose
the acceptance ofhis resignation by the
commi ttee of it is rendered.
Differing as completely as he does with
the President on the two topics of the
evenings interview. it was natural that
Mr. Hanna should be unwilling to discuss
his visit with the newspaper men.

CARDINAL GIBBONS has endorsed the
criticism of DR.. Hodges, minister of Bal
timOres richest Episcopal church, against
snowy society weddings in churches.
DIR. Hodges declared that persons OF
moderate means were deferred from be-
ing married in church because they could
not make the show of wealthy people.
This is a sad travesty on human intelli-
gence, but it is true, just the same.

MANY PEOPLE have been misguided
into the belief that the payment of poll
tax has been extended along with the
payment of State taxes, as provided by
recent legislation. This is entirely an
erroneous conclusion, and those who do
not pay their poll tax before December
IA cannot vote in the June election.
1t is constitutional requirement that
the poll tax must be paid six months be-
fore the election in order TO vote, and
this time cannot be changed. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to qualify
himself for voting in order that he may
have a voice in the management of the
RS of his county, State and country.

New York, Dec. "a storehouse
partly filed with oil was destroyed by
fire on Governors Island early this
morning. The building was only about
25 feet from the ammunition house, in
which ;s>stored a large amount of shells,
aud by hard work the troops on the
island confined the flames to the build
ing in which the fire originated. The
steamer which carries passengers from
the city to the island and which is fitted
with apparatus for fighting blaze, had no
steam up. A bucket brigade was form
ed, and with the use of few lines of
small hose, the blaze was finally drowned
out. The building, which was COM
pletely destroyed, was 200 feet long
and two stories high. The oil, which
exploded and ran in all directions, soon
set FIRE to every part of it.
