HANNA TO DECLINE.
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT
THE INVITATION OF KEN
lucky LEGISLATURES.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator
Hanna says he will be unable to go to
Frankfort to address that body. Early
this winter the Senator decided that
he would not leave Washington this
session for the purpose of making any
speeches, and has even declined to go
to Cleveland to address the Tippecsnoe
Club of that city at a banquet to be
given in honor of McKinley's birth
day, the latter part of this month.
Mr.. Hanna is very busy man, and
his Senatorial and political duties take
up more than twice as much time as
the average member of the Senate
gives to such matters. Moreover, he
at present is suffering with mild at
tack of the grippe and is under the
care of physician.

GEN. DAN
COLLIER
Pension Agent Of Kentucky Dies
Suddenly.
Had Been Ill From Heart Trouble For
Several Weeks.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 25-Alone in
. room in the Pope Ssnitarium death
came to Daniel X. Collier, United
States pension agent for the state Of
Kentucky Saturday afternoon between
$50 and 6 o clock. Death was caused
by angina peotoris, or rheumatism OF
the heart. and was not unexpected. a.
Colonel Collier himself had frequent
ly said he would die in Just that way.
For the past six weeks Colonel COL
lier had been q great sufferer from
rheumatism. Colonel Collier was In
the habit Of stopping at the sanitArium
every day about noon and receiving
treatment. Saturday he visited the
sanitarium ct the usual time, and af
ter his treatment said to DIR. Pope that
be did not feel equal 70 walking to
dinner. DIR. Pope told him to 60 to q
room and lie down. He said he
thought he would take q nap and not
eat any dinner. He went TO sleep
about 2 O'Clock and slept easily until
1850 O'Clock At that time he rang
for the nurse and said he felt u slight
nausea. The nurse attended him and
he said he would lie there for few
minutes and go home.
Colonel Collie had not taken OF his
clothes when he lay down on the bed,
and Just after the nurse entered the
room he put on his coat. Lying down
again after the nurse left the room, al
about $50 O'Clock, Colonel Collier
died, for when the nurse returned to
the room ten minutes later he had
ceased TO breathe.
Daniel Ray Collier was born in Gar
rard county Kentucky about 81 years
ago. He was educated in the schools
OF that county, obtaining the rudi-
ments which enabled him later ia
teach school in Garrsrd county for sew
ersl years.
He continued his life ON tho farm
until the outbreak of the Civil war,
when he at once responded to the call
TO arms. He enlisted as a private sol
der in company o., Third Kentucky
infantry, under Major K. Bramblette.
For gallant conduct on the field, he
WAS time ana again promoted until he
finally became lieutenant colonel.
He had occupied many important
offices, being adjutAnt general of the
state during Governor Bradley's ad
ministration. No funeral arrange
ments have been made.

Republican State Convention to
be Held Then.
This Has Not Been Officially Decided
but Seems to be General
Opinion.
LATE POLITICAL
GOSSIP

The Republican state convention
may be held at Louisville, Ky, be-
tween April 18th and goth. This is
not certain, as the state central COM
mittee has to decide the question but
after a n esting Of prominent Repub-
licans at Louisville Saturday 1t was
given out that this was the probable
time Of the convention. The prospect
in Kentucky is very pleasing and il is
certain . solid Roosevelt delegation
will be sent to Chicago.
A number of prominent Republicans
are mentioned for delegates to the
National convention. the Louisville
Herald says:
1T is said that nearly all Republi-
cans in this city will favor the election
OF Col Morris b. Belknap for dele
gate at large to the National conven-
tion. The precedent Of the Repub-
lican party is to send gubernatorial
candidates to the convention. In
1900, even after he had left Kentucky,
former Gov. W. X. Taylor was sent
o. delegate at large from this state.
Should Col. Belknap be sent 10
the convention as delegate Mt large, IL
is probable that former Gov. W. o.
Bradley would contest for the election
in the Seventh district, as IL Is un-
likely that two delegates at large will
he selected from any one district.
Bradley and Yerkes are from the same
district.
Judge George Du Belle and A. L.
Spies are being urged for district dele
gates from this (the Fifth district.
Both Of these men have done valiant
work for their party in this district,
and will 60 into the district conven-
tion with strong backing.
George W. Jolly, OF owensb ero, was
in the city yesterday, and announced his
candidacy for district delegate from the
Second district. Mr.. Jolly stated that
he favored the election Of Yerkes and
Bradley for delegates at large to the
National Convention.
