HARDIN UNHEALTHY.
Sanitary Condition Said to Sc Yer,
Dangerous ard Contagious Dis
eases Prevail.

St. Petersburg, April 9.-The terrible
sanitary condition Of Hardin, Which it
is feared viii lead to an epidemic, is
revealed in a dispatch to the Novosti.
The matter is Of particular Importance
in view OF the fact that Hardin is the
center of Russian military and civil
authority in Manchuria. All troops
pass through this point and all provi-
sions and medical supplies are brought
there.
An arrangement has been made for
| Hardin TO become the first station for
the sick and wounded during the war.
Despite a dry spring and summer and
peaceful conditions in the territory,
last year there were cases of cholera
and typhoid, further development Of
which was stopped by the November
frosts. The chief cause of the conta-
gion is the water of the Sungari river
and the shallow wells which are locat-
ed in unsanitary places. Another
source Of contagion is hat the ground
filth of the winter has not been salts
factorily disposed of, but lies exposed
above ground in the heart OF the city,
the streets of which are filed with
refuse.
Protests have proved unavailing.
The warm weather which Caused the
disappearance of snow has shown the
| true state of affairs.

Kansas Democrats Commend, But z,
Not Instruct Delegation for Film
foS President,

Wichita. Kan, April 9.-The demo-
cratic state convention elected twenty
delegates TO the national convention.
This delegation, it is said, according TO
personal preferences, Will St2nd 81. FOR
Hearst and fourteen against him.
The platform, which was unanimous
~ adopted, indorsed the Kansas City
platform of 1900 and the Chicago plat
form of 1886, expressed confidence IN
William j. Bryan, and declared for the
nomination of men for president and
vice president who supported the
tickets of 1896 and 1900 and who were
in sympathy with the platform upon
Which they ran; criticised the republic
cans of the state for turning down the
old machine and creating another more
dictatorial than the old, and charged
them with building a railroad machine
and with turning the state capitol into
a round house. 1t commended Ex-
Senator W. A. Harris for his record in
the United States senate. and charged
the actions of United States Senator
Burton to the republicans. 1t Endorsed
William Randolph Hearst and his vic
tory over the cou trust as an example
for democrats 10 follow. but did no
refer to him as d candidate for preSl-
dent.
The Hearst plank, which some Of his
followers claim as an Endorsement OF
his candidacy follows:
in mir. Hearst, of New York, we recog-
nize one Of the foremost democrats Of the
nation. He uses his great opportunities
and power in all cases in behalf OF the
common people without counting me cost
to himself.
His single handed legal contest with tht
coal trust just successfully concluded II
the supreme court Is the most signal TIL
umph of democratic principles since the
trusts seized the business of the Cnun'
try. We indorse the great work he is do
ing in the interest of his parry ana MS
country and his good example &c
FOOD democrats everywhere.

Resolutions.

Washington. April Sin accordance
With = previous agreement the senate
devoted practically its entire time to-
lay to eulogies upon the character of
he late Senator Hanna. Mr.. Foraker,
Who presented the usual resolution of
sorrow and asked for their considera-
ion, was the first speaker. The gall
cries We're crowded by friends and ad-
nirerS of the late senator. Senator
Foraker'S address was a candid review

Ysts of the character Of his late col
eague, II was read from manuscript.
The resolutions We're adopted,
After reviewing the relations exist
ng between Hanna and himself, which
ne said We're at times somewhat
strained politically, Mr.. Foraker spoke
eulogistically of Hanna's intellectual
qualities, of his unerring Judgment OF
men,, his executive qualities, his stronS
common sense, his business training.
etc, but he said he was deficient i n
scholarship and oratorical gifts.
Referring to Hanna'S part in the
Mckinley campaigns, Foraker said.
This was his great opportunity, ana
ne improved it so thoroughly that he
not only excited the affectionatc re-
gard of his own party. but also COM
handed the admiration of his oppo-
aents. 1t was an arduous work We'll
done.
He had the usual experience of men
who do great things we'll. He was
made the target for all the criticisms,
abuses, ISLANDERS n libels that mali
eious ingenuity could invent. A less
strong man would have despaired and
oeen destroyed; but he never showed
the slightest concern on such account
Conscious of his power and OF ultimate
vindication of his purposes, he disre-
garded them all and went steadily for
ward upon the lines of duty as he saw
It. Although he had deficiencies, and
probably disappointed expectations il
some respects, he filled q great place
among the greatest men of his time
