Hanna Roosevelt Conference.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Senator Hanra's
conference with the president last night
aroused the keenest interest among sena-
tors and representatives in congress aud
among politicians generally.
It can be said that, at last nights con-
ference, only incidental reference was
made to matters of concern to the Re-
publican national committee. As to
Perry S. Heath's connection with the
national committee as secretary, it is un-
derstood the president does not care to
assume a position. Mr.. Heath ls an off
Ger of the committee and the president
thinks the committee amply qualified to
take care of it's own affairs without sug'
pestion from him. 1t is understood definite
" that Mr.. Heath, in any event, will not be
a candidate again for secretary of the
committee.
Senator Hanna today authorized the
Associated Press to state that the presl-
dent and himself discussed a number of
things legislative and political. While
they differ on the subject Of the confima-
ton of Geneaal Wood there is no mis-
I'm derstanding between them and nothing
indicating a break 10 their relations, such
as has been reported"

Crum, to be collector of the port OF
Charleston, S. c., and some others whom
t3s, Psssident nominated in the last re-

reached that between the time OF the fall

REFITTING THE AERODROME
- LaDgIeT~ e@iiira His Airship In
Shape for Another Experiment.

ashington, December 5.-The big six
foot aerodrome of Professor Samuel Z.
ngley, the secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution, which was unsuccessfully
launched several months ago, was pre-
|pared for another experiment in the Poto'
mac near here today, but unfavorable
wind conditions prevented the test.
The machine has been put into perfect
order, and is ready to be hoisted on to the
superstructure for another trial at the first
opportunity, possibly Monday. No at
tempt will be made to hoist the machine
into position unless the wind is less than
twelve miles an hour in order to avoid
possible danger to men engaged in the
work.
F. NJ. Manley, Professor Langley's chief
assis ant in the launching machine re-
searches, was aboard the houseboat all day
with bis force of mechanics.
Professor Manley made observations Of
the wind velocity a number of times dur
ing the day, but at no time did conditions
..warrant an attempt at flying.
Z Professor Langley said that the time Of
! theshext attempt will depend on wind con-
Ritions. He credited the trouble with the

Aureemont With Russia.

Pekin, Dec. 8.-Prominent officials here
assert that China is concluding an agree
ment with Russia for the government Of
Manchuria. 1t is expected that the ar
rAngemeut will include most of Russia's
supplementary terms for the evacuation
and will nominaly confirm Chinese SOW
ereignty while giving Russia an advisory
share in the government.
During the recent palace conferences
three plans were discussed-war against
Russia, an appeal to friendly nations for
assistance, and settlement with Russia
on the est terms obtainaOle. The hrst
and second plans were dismissed. China
has been unable to suggest and the United
States and Japan, to whom she appealed
we're unable to gee any practicable steps to
be taken. Therefore the third plan was
adopted.

GRAND JURY's OBJECT.

The grand jury had been instructed to
investigate the alleged illegal sale of in
toxicants in the city with the view Of
bringing in indictments against any guilty
prrtices.
DR.. Hall stated that his information had
been derived from responsible gentlemen
to whom he had passed his word of honor
that he would not use their names in con-
nection with the matter, and that he
could not break bis word.
The grand jury reported to the conrt,
Judge A. NJ. Aiken presiding, that the
witness had refused to give the testimony
required of him, and that that testimony
was material to the completion of their
investigation.
Mr.. Hall appeared before the court and
reiterated the statement which he had
made to the jury, refusing positively to
dlvuIge the source of his information. He
said that he understood the power of the
court, and was cognizant of what the pen
atty of his refusal might mean, but that
his sense of honor forbade his breaking
faith with the gentlemen who had given
him his information.
He said that information had been
gathered for the purpose of preaching a
sermon to the congregation OF his church,
which sermon was pertinent view Of
what he believed to be the existing con-
ditions here.
The court ordered the jury, together
with the witness, back to their room for
further conference. Mr.. Hall was still
obdurate and determined, and neither
threats nor persuasion had the effect of
breaking down what he considered to be
his plain duty.
