THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH.:30, 1900-16 PAGES, GOSSIPFROM GOTHAM Senator Platt’s Health Subject of Uneasiness to Friends, TALK AS TO HIS SUCCESSOR Democratic Influences at Work Against W. J. Bryan’s Interests. HUNDRED YEAR CLUB Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. W YORK, March 29, 1900. The republican politicians who usually gather at the Fifth Avenue Hotel are con- cerned about the health of Senator Platt. ‘There is talk and speculation as to the possibility of his retirement from active participation in the state and national cam- pai Speaking of these matters, a close friend of Senator Platt said: “Despite his €nemies, Mr. Plat; has: many, dear friends. afd these‘ are trying to pre- vail upon te take a vacation from his political duties. Should they succeed, Sen- ator Piatt will soon announce his retire- ment from active command.” “Who would take his place as leader?” was asked “That I could not say,” was the reply. “There are numerou possibilities, which range from Governor Roosevelt to Chair- man Oilell, but who the choice would not be possible to tell.” Senator Hanna Also Ailing. According to the gossip around this same rendezvous, Senator Hanna Is also ailing. The old discredited report about a bad knee 1s causing speculation as to his repeating his arduous labors as chairman of the national committee. There is a genuine king for Senator Hanna in the headquarters of the repub- lican state committee. When the New York branch of the national committee was established during the last presidential cam- paign, Mr. Hanna caused it to be under- stood distinctly that the leaders in this state were to conduct their campaign in their own way. and that there would be no dictation from higher and broader author- ity, but at the same time all the advice and counsel of those in charge of the na- tional headquarters, just across Madison Square, would be, at all times, in cordial co-operation with the state committee. In some previous instances this had not been the case. But this policy of independent responsibility, combined with harmonious co-operation, put the late Chairman Hack- ett on his mettle, It is safe to say that Chairman Odell wishes to see the same fra- ternal feeling this year, although it has not yet been announced whether the experl- ment so successful in 1896 of avi national headquart central wi will be er that may be, much al regret would follow the confirma- tion of the report concerning Senator Han- na’s physical condition. State Democratic Convention. Although the democratic primaries are over, the leaders cannot tell when or where the state convention is to be held. Dele- gates to the state convention are to be elected in the second week of April, and Tammany leaders have asked Ellot Dan- forth, chairman of the state committee, why,a meeting has not been-caHed to set a date. It is safd that the chairman of the executive committee is delaying the call tor e convention, it being Mr. Hill’s se to put the date as far back as pos- sible in the hope that something may hap- pen that will prevent the delegates from being committed to Colonel Bryan. The four delegates at large are to be Hill, Croker, Augustus Van “Wyck and Eliot Danforth. Bonds Too Hgb. . A bank officer In the Wall street district says Ui the present price of bonds is still too high to make them attractive to banks for circulation purposes, more especially as the-interior movement of money is in favor ot New York, and the Secretary of the Treasury has decided to pay out of the treasury all premiums on government bonds presented for refunding and not to disturb the-government deposits in the banks, so that the rate of interest for loans must s decline for some time to come. ing interior correspondents con- tinue to report heavy orders for new bonds for cireulation. That many banks believe there is a profit in reducing circulation and selling their bonds seems proven by the fact that not only the lawful $3,000,000 of retirement of bonds against circulation taken for the present month, but practically the whole $3,000,000 for next month has al- ready been spoken for. Leading bank officers of this city favor the passage of the bill reported by the House committee restricting the loans which may be made to directors and officers of a national bank. ‘The bill does not go to the same length as the New York state law regulating the loans of trust companies. According to that law no loans may be made to a director. The House committee’s bill permits loans to the directors of a na- tional bank under certain restrictions. The opinion is that the measure, if passed, will tend to make the business of banking more secure, To Prolong Human Life. The secret of prolonging human life to the century mark, it is announced, has at last been found. Mr. Theodore Sutro, who is a member of the Hundred Year Club, declares that the attainment of the object Jor the club has passed from the theoretical Stage to the practical. Accordingly, the members of the club wall place themselves under treatment by which they belleve they 1 be able to p cally annihilate time and live as long as they please. A medical bureau of specia will be formed. ry member of the club will undergo a physical examination by the bureau, and, if it ts thought necessary for the prolongation of life, changes in die! id mode of living wlll be made. Mental tests will-play an impor- tant part im the treatment, and if one’s trend of thought fs not conducive to lon- gevity this will be altered by hypnotic in- flue te Lately many parcels have been recetyed here from Germany. which were found. to contain duttable articles, and the Post Of- fice Department at Washington has in- structed Postmaster Van Cott to return all sealed parcels coming from Germany. Mr. Van Cott says that the sealed Parcels ar- riving by the next mail steamer will be examined and delivered, but those arriving afterward will be sent back. aes Khaki Becoming Fas! From the London Mail By the time khaki was being employed to bind books and make slippers, cigar cases and tobacco pouches it needed no very pro- found seer to prophesy that {t would be the reat novelty this year for every concelv- able purpose for which it could be used. The manufacturers of khaki-colored cloth are about as busy as they can be, and in the general drapery trade material ts being made up for the summer into dresses to serve as do those of holland and pique, and, more particularly, Into children’s garments, both indoor and outdoor. For a boy's over- alls khaki is a very suitable color, and there is no doubt that during the summer there will be many “little gentle- men in khaki going south” to the seaside for the holidays. In this conne ble. fon the Tailor and Cutter 2 “There is every reason to believe hat khaki and khak!-colored c'othing will be very much worn during the coming sea- son. The popularity of this material for army clothing is so very marked that it fs Sure to find its echo In civilian attire.” A Daily Mail representative has made some inquiries among West End tailors, and is able to’ state that, while it is too early to predict what will be the fashiona- ble ‘co'or in gentlemen's clothing during Fog coming season, there will undoubtedly “a run on™ khaki-colored materials for Women's wear. Cyclists of both sexes and a great many cricketers will show their up-to-dateness by adopting the prevailing color: while the great favor in which women of England hold our fighting men is shown by the fact than an adapted Imperial Yeomanry hat will adorn the heads of many of the fair sex this year. i % 471 sat oo Ones toe Giyeerine ‘Tomorrow only Powder, Boap, 1 - 49° | of Ae, Ser | Eas ee ey Sordoraenbontpederdordorgetersecseatontontententostedtostontententententnngene oedeatreseateatontertostesonepedteds ° specials, are the greatest. 702 PENNSYLVANIA AVE.
