(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Nov. L t&peclal.) The
aeport aeot out from Cleveland that Sena
tor M. A. llanna would not ba chairman
of the republican national committee for
U04 la regarded In Washing-ton aa wholly
without foundation. In high official circle
ber It Is generally understood that when
the proper-time comes President ftoosevelt
will personally call upon Senator Hanna to
lead again the republican party to victory.
It la true that Senator Hanna health Is
not of the very best, but It Is confidently
believed that when the executive committee
to manage the next republloan campaign la
chosen that Mr. Hanna's name will be
, f found In Ita old place at the bead of the
J column. Jn view of the efforts now being
put forth by the democrats to unify their
forces for the presidential campaign next
-,' .year any talk about Mr. Hanna's retiring
, from the. active political field will be looked
upon as a democratic roorback.
; The position of secretary of the national
) committee, now held by Perry 8. Heath,
. editor of the Halt lko Tribune, will also
j l 1J filled by the next national committee to
1 "be chosen In the state conventions of 1904.
j i Jtumor says that Fourth Assistant Post.
j J master General Brlstow's report as" to
j frauds and shady transactions In the Post-
! ,i office department will severely criticise Mr.
Heath, who was first assistant postmaster
' general during the McKlnlcy admlnlstra
! tlon. Should this be true Mr. Heath would
) In aU- probability not ba a candidate for re
j election as national secretary. Anticipating
; 4,' that Mr,. Heath desires to withdraw from
j active political life Insofar a the secre-
taryshlp of the national republican commit-
t, tee is concerned two names have already
fi bean sus-gested for secretary. Harry C.

ington correspondent of the New Tork

. tain the campaign of 1904 will be a "mud'

j make It so. The acrimonious 'discussion
Presbyterian church was organised. The
congregation met In a corridor of the old
Navy department building which was of
fered free of charge for that purpose. On
Saturday afternoon after the clerks had
left the building chairs wer placed In the
corridor for the worshipers and they were
removed early Monday morning. Later the
F street church and the second church
were consolidated Into the New Tork Ave
nue Presbyterlsn church. The recorda of
the three churches show thai; they have
had aa worshipers a long lint of statesmen
and that they were aided by some of the
distinguished men In this country' his
tory.
John Qulncy Adams was Identified with
the Second Presbyterian church and once
rescued ' It from bankruptcy. The congre
gation had started to build a new. church
on the site now occupied by the New Tork
Avenue Presbyterian church, which had
been purchased by Nicholas BIddle, presi
dent of the famous Bank of the United
States. The walls were constructed and
part of the roof put on wheu the money
gave out. The contractors demanded pay
ment and after endeavoring unsuccessfully
to ralne the money elsewhere the finance
committee went to Mr. Adams, then secre
tary of state under President James Mon
roe, and he Immediately responded to their
appeal for aid. About twenty-two years
niierwara and lust before Mr- IHnmi1
death the congregation paid him back and
presented him with a pew which he occu

Seem to Show I.lttle
Saviac
Pursuant to the avowed policy of re
trenchment announced by both companies
the Union Pacific and the Milwaukee have
done away with the colored porters on their
chair cars, the former between Omaha and
Denver and the latter between Chicago and
Omaha. This waa the Impression conveyed
to the porters when they appeared ready
for their regular runs some time ago and
found notices awaiting them to call at
headquarters. Visiting the offices of the
companies, they were informed that their
services were no longer required, as tho
idea was to make a cut In tno operating
expenses.
This Is the third time in the last seven
teen years that porters have been taken
off ot the chair cars. Shortly after they
had been relieved of their positions It was
learned that several new brakemen had
been takerr-on, being added to the crew
they had served In. The Union Pacific order
went Into effect, on October 16, and the
Milwaukee made theirs effective sonu imo
In (September. In all fourteen men were
dispensed with and their wot was left to
b don by tho brakemen. 'Viiea Cfce no
IK'i wera received It -was fought
tnat they were to be used by ins com
pany In some other capacity, as each year
the official have had the porters take the
regular examinations required . for brake
men and other similar positions. . . . ,
At the time of thl order, although the
porter did not ask for additional money
they expected it, but none was forthcoming.
Their compensation has been $40 per month
and that of the brakemen and flagmen
$00 per month. Since the, change has been
made, however. It turns up that Instead of
the expenses being cut, two extra flagmen
have been taken on and the salaries of he
brakemen have been raised to $73 per
month. The crews were originally com
posed of the conductor, bakeman, flagman
and porter and now they are made of
the conductor, two brakemen and the flag
man. The discharged men were John Pollock,
John A. James, Henry Wlltlums and V
B. Watson and their places have been
filled by employes from the street railway
company. Tho colored men have all found
work with the Pullman company In the
dinner service and are making equally a
good money a they did heretofore.
It la said that the Rock Island employ
more colored men than any other western
road and following them are the Wabash
and the Northwestern. The two road men'
tloned are the only one to do away with
this service up to the present time.
