HANNA-FoRAKER FIGHT.
Hot Times are Brewing in ohie
 Ranuhlican Ranks.

3NoAAhas
 Washington. May 23-(Special. .)-sharp- ly contradictory reports come from Ohio regarding the outlook for the Republi- can State Convention; that 1t means a fight to the finish between Hanna and Foraker, all agree An Ohio Republican, fresh from the scene, Faid tonight:
 "Of course Ohio Republicans are going fo stand by Mark Hanna. Foraker took a sly advantage of the Senator in pro- posing to endorse Roosevelt. It is d plank upon which he expects to swim into popularity as against Hanna, which he neve rcould otherwise reach. Never theIess Hanna has George Cox with the invincible Cincinnati leverage of power. and if there is to be a tug of war. you will see the biggest affair of the kind in my day"
 Notwithstanding this statement, Ohio Republicans have been in the city who are known as Henna followers who talk as though the party in Ohio cannot af- ford to turn down a proposition to en- dorse Roosevelt.
 General Grosvenor, as one has said that 1t might as well be done It is very evident that Foraker is going to use his advantage for all that it Is worth. and he is getting all kinds of administration circle encouragement. Meantime, Han ma and his friends. of whom there are hundreds in Washington in the depart nents, are outspoken and unsparing in their condemnation of Foraker's tactics
 Another stroke at Hanna's prestige has come from Pennsylvania. 1t is said fin the proposition by Matt Quay that the Republican Convention of that State shall endorse Roosevelt. Quay. it Is pointed out, has never forgiven Hanna for vot- ing against him when his appointment to the Senate was in question.

DIR. HILLS EXCITED.
Wants the Privilege of Making
 Washington's Bed.

New York, May 23.--After denouncing the servant of a hotel who refused to make up a bed for Booker T. washineton. the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis has declared that should the negro educator accept entertainment at his. Dr. Hlliis'a house he would count 1t an honor to maIrs his bed for him. The incident of the woman servant was first referred to by Dr. Hills in a recent address at a meet ing of the State Congregational Associa- tion and in a later interview Dr. HiIlia repeated his assertion.
 Yes" he exclaimed. "I said exactly that and I mean 1t. have asked Mf. Washington to speak in my church and if he raes not wish to so toSa hotel, or can not find one, and will accept entertainment from me and any one in my home shrinks from making up a bed for the educator will gladly make 1t up myself, and con- slider it an honor to do so.
 T do no know what maner of men and women." continued Dr. Hillis. those were at a public dinner VITO sent first .H 900 and then $2.500 to that chambermaid as a reward for insulting great educator and noble citizen whom God has given black skin. but I affirm that they rep resented the worst element in American life and that in applauding an insult to MT. Washington they betrayed their fa- thers and played false to their own in- stitutions.
 ''All those who are talking with such contempt about the 'nigger' and count ing him the beggar at the gate" said pr. Hillis, may awaken out of their in- norance some time to find what Jesus Christ said about the chasm immeasurabis that was digged between the character Of Dives and poor Lazarus may have some personal application and more meaning than they had supposed"

Tells Why He Granted Vanderbilt.
 Rutherfurd Licenses.

London, May 23.-In letter to The Times. occupying three columns. pr. Iris tram. Chancellor of the London Diocese. today defends his action in granting the Vanderbilt Rutherford marriage license by law and custom.
 Dr. Tristram contends that he was obliged to grant Mir. vanderbilt's appiica- ton. The Chancellor's answer to the Bishop of London's severe criticism forms the text for a lengthy editorial in The Times, which says Dr. Tristram's argu- ment brings up an important question in the church and State.
 The Times maintains that the Rev. R. H. Hadden's act in marrying Mir. Wander bilt and Mrs. Rutherford was due solely to an error of judgment which 1t hopes will not be copied by others of the Eng fish clergy. and depreciates the heavy. moral censure which seemed to be im- piled by the Bishop of London's lan- guage.'
 The Times upholds Dr. Tristram's con tentiop that he had no right to interfere in a matter so dubious wherein the House of Lords and the House of Commons had themselves legislated in direct contradic- tion of each other and to the general moral sense of the public.

HE cRIT1cIsEs FoRAKER
Against Endorsement Of
 Roosevelt in Ohio.
He-says the State Convention This Year Should Not Presume to Dictate to the Convention
 of 1904.

Cleveland, O., May 3.-Senator Hanna, fin an interview this afternoon concern ing widely circulated reports as to his position in connection with proposed resolution to be introduced at the coming Republican State Convention endorsing President Roosevelt for a second term, made the following statement to a repre- sentative of the Associated Press:
 T have seen the reported interview with Senator Foraker with reference to the proposed endorsemant of the nomination of President Roosevelt by the next Ohio State Republican Convention,
 At the outset want to deny that MT. Dover, my private secretary, or. so far as know. any of my friends, had anything to do with raising this question. The first I knew of 1t was when l read in the papers a previous interview with Senator Foraker which I construed as an expression of his own personal views. lkis was followed by an interview with General Grosvenor along the same lines. These made 1t apparent that there was a disposition on the part of some people to sl ggest such action by the convention.
 criticises Delegates.
 'I certainly have no criticism to make of any individual as to hls rights to en- tertain or to express such views, but 1 certainly do criticize the propriety Of action along that line by the delegates to the State Convention, who are chosen for the purpose of nominating State ticket. It does not appear to me to be entirely proper for this convention to as- sume the perrogative of the one to be chosen in 1904, and upon which one will rest the responsibility of representing and expressing the sentiment in our State TOT any candidate -a. It would seem unnecessary for me to ssy that these conclusions are in no way influenced by any personal desires or ambitions of my own.
 T have often stated both privately and publicly that I am not and will not be a candidate for the Presidential non1ina tion.
 "on account of my position as chair man of the Republican National Commit tee and the further fact that this year l am supposed to have a vital interest in the results in Ohio as bearing on my re- election to the United States Senate, 1t would be presumed that I might have some influence as to the policy or action of the State Convention this year in na- tional affairs.
 Tn that connectlon IL WDuIu seem dp parent that whatever that influence might be. had been expected in direction which would cause just criticism on the part of any other person who might as- pire to be a candidate for the Republi- can nomination for President in 1904. For these reasons am opposed to the adop- ton of such a resolution"
 Tn that connection 1t would seem ap- parent that If such resolution were adopted that, whatever that influence might be, had been exerted in a direc- tion which would cause just criticism on the part of any other person who might aspire to be a candidate for the Republi- can nomina ton for President in 1904 For these reasons, I am opposed to the adop- tion of such a resolution"

THE BEST AT
 ALL POINTS Reliance Clearly Heres hOff'S MaSterpiece. SHE GAINS AT ALL STAGES Columbia and Constitution
 Left Far Astern. As Between the Latter Two the Trial is Undecisive-None of the Three
 Finishes Inside Time
 Limit.
SHE GAINS AT ALL STAGES

New York, May 2s.--In a wind that ranged from mere zephyr to an eight knot breeze. the Reliance clearly proved her superiority over the Columbia and the Constitution in the race on Long Is- land Sound this afternoon.
 Though officially the race was no con- test, owing to the failure of the boats to finish before e:30 o'clock, enough was revealed to prove that in his latest crea- ton Designer Herreshoff has wrought his masterpiece.
 In all points of sailing, as they were new boat clearly outclassed her rivals. Whenever conditions were at all equal, she scurried away from the other yachts with ease. {.
 Reliance is Well Named.
 The tests to which the boats were sub- jected were mainly confined to measur- ing their respective merits over reaches, close and broad. little opportunity be- ing afforded of showing what they may running to leeward. In what little chance there was to form an estimate of the boats fin these two latter respects. the new boat demonstrated her superiority. So much for the Reliance
 As for the Columbia and Constitution the contest was indecisive, though when the time limit had expired the Columbia had slight advantage over the Belmont boat
 They turned the buoy that marked the end of the first leg as follows: Reliance. 6:za:50: Columbia, 5:25:90; Constitution. 5:2e:10.
 The second leg. close reach, was ne- gotiated in about IS minutes by the Re- liance. the turns being made as follows: Reliance. 5:3g:50: Columbia, 5:sS: 40; Con- stitution, 5;46:i0.
 It was after the Reliance had atartad for home with her lee rail awash that she proved to the thousands who were watching her ashore and afioat what racer she is. She simply flew away from the Columbia and Consultation and in about ten minutes had opened up a lead Of over two miles. which was being rap idly increased when the committee sig nailed a postponefnent of the race Tn the meantime the Constitution had very materially cut down the Columbias lead, and at the finish was nearly abeam of the old defender.
