| THE OMAHA DAILY. BEE: MONDAY, ‘\“L'El‘l"!fl_( 2, 1908, HANNA WAL SURELY LEAD No Basia for Report thet He Will Not Be Party Uhairman. NEW SECRETARY MAY BE CHOSEN -ln‘ L A C dge . Po ble Swe- ' of Perry 8, Henth, Marry € New Are Named cen u (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. L—(Special.)—The Peport sebt out from Cleveland that Sena- tor M. A. Hanna would nét be chairman of the republican national committee for 1904 is regarded in Washington as wholly without foundation, In high official circles here it is generally understood that when the proper-time comes President Roosevelt will personally call upon Senator Hanna to lead agafh' the republican party to victory. it 1s true that Senator Hanna's health is not of the very best, hut it is confidently believed that when the eXecutive committes to manage the next republican campalgn is chosen tbat Mr. Hanna's name will be found in its old place at the head of the column. Jn view of the efforts now being put fortl by the democrats to unify their forces for the presidential campalgn next Ayear any talk about Mr. Hanna's retiring from the active political fleld will be looked upon as & democratic roorback. The position of secretary of the national committée, now held by Perry 8. Heath, editor of the Salt Lake Tribune, will also | be filled by the next nationul committee to | e chosen in the state conventions of 1904. Rumor says that Fourth Assistant Post- master General Bristow's reports as” to frauds and shady transactions in the Post- office department will severely criticise Mr. Heath, who was first assistant postmaster general during the McKinley administra- 4 tlon. Should this be true Mr. Heath would in all. probability not be a candidate for re- election as national secretary. Anticipating that Mr. Heath desires to withdraw from active political life Insofar as the secre- taryship of the national republican commit- tee I8 concerned two names have already been suggested for mecretary, Harry C. New of Indiana and L. 4. CooMdge, Wash- ington correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser. One thing is cer- tain the campaign of 1904 will be a “‘mud- “elinging” campaign if the democrats can make it so. The acrimonious ‘discussions now going on in New York and Senator Gorman’s bitter words against President Roosevelt In the present Maryland oam- palgn, all point to a bitter campaign next v Should Mr. Heath be subjectod to eriticism at the hands of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General -Bristow, as now ru- mored, it will behoove the republicans to have some man as secretary whose record 1s clean. Greed of Niearagua Syndicates. There are three syndicates which have large Interests in Nicaragua. These syn- dicates do not want the United States to méike a new treaty with Colombia whe: by a canal will be constructed across the isthmus of Panama by the federal govern- ment of thls country. It is more than m pectedwhat one or all of these syndicates of American capitalists 1s responsible, in part at Jeast, for the fallure of the Co- lombian treaty. It is roughly estimated that. two or three million dollars, or even more, has been Invested by American capi- talists in preliminary work upon the Nicars agua canal route, men who furnished the cash naturally thought they had lost * thelr eutire investment when congress agreed to buy out the French company which has sunk se, mueh in the Panama ditch. But they are aceused of being the real cause of the vigorous fight against the ratification of the treaty in Bogota, which resulted in Its refection. Now these men see an opportunity to unioad thelr alleged interests upon the government of the United States. It ia very clear that Pres- ident Roo: it and Secretary Hay ure thoroughly sted with the people of Co- lombia. The president has the power, under the act of congress, to adopt the Nicar- Aguan route without further legisiation. It is belleved that he would do so «t once wete It not for the greed of the syndicate mentioned above. Six months ago it would have been possible to buy out all American in' the northefn route at a figure somewhere near the actual amount in- vested, but lately the syndicates have shown a disposition to demand usurious interest upon the amounts which they ex- pended. Indeed, It Is asserted that nearly $20,000,000 will be required to satisfy the de- mands of the men who have invested only about a tenth .f that sum in surveys and preliminary work. All this grows out of the inordinate. desire of those iInterested along the line of the Nicaragua route to secure the grestest possible advantuge, hould It be demonstrated that the Niear- ‘agua route is the most fe the government 1o &ceppt. U cumstances it 1s not surprising that the . president and secretary of state are using I thelr powers to bring about a new un- retanding with the .authorities at Bo- gota which will result in the negotlation of & treaty, satisfactory to both republics, which will assure the construction of a canal across the isthmus of Panama under the direct suspices of the United States of America. Ohnreh Celebrates Centenary. The New York Avenue Presbyterian ehurch, the “Church of the Presidents, @8 it 18 known because of the large num- ber of presidents who have worshiped there, will soon observe its 100th anniver- sary with a celebration that: will be of much historic interest. This celebration, which will be held during the week of No- vomber 15, will Include historic addresses by men conspicuous In national affairs, a historlan of mational reputation and min- isters who _hold high positions in the ar- ganization of the Presbyterlan church of the United States.

This cele’ Bbration is expected to bring to Washington & 'arge gathering of people interested in ehurch work and church history from all parts of the country The New York Avenue Presbyferian church dates its origin from the organisa- tion of the F Street Presbyterian church in 1803 The pastor was Rev. Mr. Lawrle, a clerk in the treasury. In 1820 the second Presbyterian church was organized. The congrogation met in a corridor of the old Navy department bullding which was of- fered free of charge for that purpose. On Baturday afternoon after the clerks had left the bullding chairs were 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 York Ave- nue Presbyterfan church. The records of the three churches show that they have had as worshipers a long list of statesmen and that they were aided by some of the distinguished men in this country's his- tory. John Quincy Adams was identified with the Becond Presbyterfan church and once rescued it from bankruptcy. The congre- gation had started to bulld a new chureh on the site now occupled by the New York 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 when the money gave out. The contractors demanded pay- ment and after endeavoring unsuccessfully to ralse the money elsewhere the finance committes went to Mr. Adams, then secre- tary of state under President James Mon- roe, and heJmmediately r~sponded to thelir appeal for ald. About 1 venty-two years afterward and just before Mr. Adam: death the congregation paid him back and presented him with a pew which he occu- pied up tothe time of his death. President Andrew Jackson attended the second church and figured conspicuously In one of the quarrels of the congregation. It was over Mrs, Eaton, “Peggy O'Neil," who had a staunch friend in “Old Hick- ory.”" The pastor, the Rev. Mr. Campbell, & young man who afterwards obtained con. siderable reputation as a pulpit orator and who had a church in Albany, refused to recognize Mrs. Eaton and on her account Mr. Jackson left the church and never went back. Among the other presidents Who attended the two older churches and the New York Avenue church were James Polk, Franklin Plerce, James Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The pew occupied by Mr. Lincoln has nevs been removed from the New York Avenue church, although the other pews have been replaced at intervals since he worshiped there. It is well to the front of the church. It is small, of dark oak, and its old- fashioned appearance s in striking con- trast with the modern appointments of the stately interior. The chufch is kept open during certain hours of the morning and many strangers in Washington go there to Inspect the Lincoln pew. It will be made a feature of the celebration, Among the distingulshed men who wor- Ship at the New York Avenue church are Assoclate Justice John M. Harlan of the supreme court, who is an elder and teaches a cluss in the Sabbath school; Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural department, flenator Gorman of Maryland, Senator Burrows and Senator Alger of Michigan, Senator Blackburp of Kentucky and other members of congress and government offi- clals. The pastor of the New York Avenue church is Rev. Wallace Radcliffe, who fs well known throughotit the country as one Of the foremost orators of the Presbyterian church. Under his pastorate the church hae prospered until niow. it is stronger than ever before in its history. MERRILL WILL MEET RAHM ‘Winner of Field Club Champio: Challenged Just After M Vietory.

This was the impression conveyed to the porters when they appeared ready for their regular runs some time ago and found ndtices awaiting them to call at headquarters. Visiting the offices of the companies, they were informed that their services were no longer required, us the idea was to make a cut in the operating expenses. This is the third time in the last seven- teen years that porters have been taken off of the chair cars. Shortly after they had been relieved of their positions it was learned that several new brakemen had been takemon, being added to the crews they had served in.

Thelr compensation has been $40 per month and that of the brakemen and flagmen 360 per month.
