He studled at Georgetown University and | that institution conferred the degree of | LL. D. upon him in 1885.

Another indication that a political | rupture is imminent is a story which was told to-day by some friends of Senator Hanna, who are politically in- imical to President Roosevelt. The st is this: A party of Indiana pol- ! iticians were at the White House last week and the President said: “When Senator Hanna comes back from Ohio 1 am going to make him | either fish or cut bait.” DURBIN GIVES ADVICE. Learning of the remark ascribed tu: the President Governor Durbin of In-| diana called upon Secretary Root and | said: f the President goes at Hanna that way there will be trouble. If he tries to make Hanna fish or cut bait he will find that Hanna will begin to fish right away.” Governor Durbin is also said to have told the President that If Hanna be- rame a candidate for President the In- diana and Illinois delegates would be for Hanna. Senators Quay and Penrose of Penn- sylvania, having waited for more than a month for Senator Hanna to issue the call for the Republican National Committee, decided that, so far as: Pennsylvania was concerned, the Roosevelt boom should no longer he blocked, which frfends of the President assert is the case by reason of the non- issuance of the call. Ignoring the Na- tional Committee, Senator Penrose, as chairman of the Pennsylvania State Committee, issued the eall for the State convention which will elect dele- | gates at large to the Chicago conven- | tion. Frank M. Platt, son of United States | has requested certain | Senator Platt, influential Californians to look over | sentiment as between Roosevelt and Hanna, and to do what they can for | Hanna, This is believed to be signifi- | cant of Senator Platt’s own attitude. —Perry Heath's s booming Senator President.
