MARK HANNA AND
THE PRESIDENCY

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 20.-There
is no longer any question that the admin
istration suspects that Senator HarIna
would accept the Republican nomination
for the presidency, if it were rendered to
him. The recent avowal by Hanna that
he is not d candidate is regarded in the
hight that such avOwals, coming from poll
ticians, are usually regarded.
Last night the president met Mr.. Hanna
at a cabinet dinner given by Postmaster
General Payne and the two attracted con-
siderable attention by walking up and
down the corridors and talking earnestly.
How Hanna happened to be at the dinner
is something of a mystery, but it is whis-
pered that it was part of plan to get
him and the president together. Within
few days the Ohio senator will proba-
b. dine at the White House, and then
the question at issue will have chance
of settlement. The administration wants
Senator Hanna to declare himself openly
either for or against the president in the
campaign now opening.

TACOMA BUSINESS MAN
EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS
ON THE CAR SERVICE
Tacoma. Wash, Jan. 10, 1904.

Editor Tacoma Times, Tacoma, Wash.
avenue district OF this city, read with
pleasure the timely "scorching'' you gave
the city street railway company for the
service it is giving the residents of this
city who are obliged to patronize that line.
Dozens of people have since spoken to
me regarding your article, and all were
highly pleased that last we have in our
city a paper which is not so tied up to
Railway & Power company in particular,
that it cannot voice the sentiments of the
people on whom such paper depends for its
existence.
Wishing your paper the success which it
so we'll deserves, and which | believe will
surely be its lot, believe me,

SIT, 643.07 making total due Au-
gust l, 1904, of sl83, 832 O3.
The court also finds that SO, 900. 90
is reasonable attorney fee to be
allowed the plaintiffs for bringing
this suit of foreclosure
The court therefore concludes that
there was no fraud or collusion be-
tween the parties to the suit.
That to establish usury the proof
must be clear and positive and not
left to conjecture.
That the interest allowed was not
unreasonable.
That the whole amount advanced
by the various plaintiffs was loan
upon all the property described in
the mortgage; that there is due from
defendants to plaintiff the sum OF
$183, 832.O3 and the further sum OF
SO, 600. 90 attorneys fees to be al
lowed to plaintiff for bringing this
suit, and the plaintiffs are entitled te
