It has been hinted that boss Platt has had an understanding with Mr. Roose. velt, and that the New York navy yard is to be utilized in behalf of the Republican machine in greater New York, but it will not be believed by those who have faith in Mr. Roose velt’s professions of reform, until there is proof in sight. Now that the arbitration trealy has been rejected, largely by the efforts and votes of Democratic Senators, lots of those who were at one time advo- cating the ratification of the treaty are talking about what a lucky escape the United States had. Recent news from Ohio has not been at all satisfactory to Boss Hanna and his hopes of retaining the seat in the Senate that John Sherman was com- pelled to give him, and he has gone to Ohio to study the situation at close range, and figure up how much cash he shall put into the campaign. His Republican colleagues in the Senate showed how transient they regarded him by failing to make him chairman of any committee and by giving him unimportant committee sssignments. They could not very well have made plainer their belief that the next Ohio legislature would be Democratic and Mr. Hanna's successor a Democrat. It was given out by Mr, Hanna that he was going home for a rest, by order of his physician. If indications arc not very deceptive the influence of the sugar trust is quite as potent in the White House as in the Senate. Mr. McKinley has been uns- ble to stand the pressure, and will, as New York broker (Chapman) who re- firm from the ignomy of serving the term in jail to which he was sentenc- ed for pardoning him.
