SACRIFICED FOR HANNA.j
John Sherman, the Yeteran
Statesman, to Be .Retired
Account of Incapacity.
Wasliington Times.
"After having passed half a
century in active political work,
John Sherman, Secretary of
State, and perhaps the most
noted of all living founders of
the Republican psrty, will re
tire soon to private life.
"The papers long ago told in
detail tte deceptions that had
been practiced on John Sher
man by Republiean politicians
in persuading: him to relinquish
his seat in the Senate to gratify
the ambition of Mark Hanna,
and stated then that the retire
ment of Mr. Sherman from the
Cabinet would take place be
fore the beginning of the new
year. It was stated also if it
were not for the uncertainty of
the election to be held in Ohio
next fall, Mr. Sherman's retire
ment would be a question of
but a few weeks.
"At the time this authentic
account was published the pro
gramme relating to Mr. Sher
man's enforced retirement was
correct in detail. Since then
facts have come to the surface
that are reatly to be deplored,
and that for several mouths
have been suppressed by the
friends of Mr. Sherman, bat
which may hasten his exit from
the Cabinet and his retirement
to private life.
"It is broadly and openly
stated now that the distinguish
ed statesman's failing health,
mental and physical, is due to
the treachery m the Republican
party, and it is learned from a
high source that the Secretary
broods a great deal ovlt the
anomalous position he occupies
as head of the State Depart
ment, but practically subor
dinate to his chief assistant,
Judge Day.
"When the President, to
please Mr. Hanna announced
that he had determined to ap
point Senator Sherman Secre
tary of State, in order: to accom
modate Mr. Hanna a number
of warm personal friends of
both the Senator and the Pres
ident attempted to diasuade
Mr. McKinley from such action.
They called attention of the
President to the advanced age
of Mr. Sherman, and pointed
out the infirmites that are the
companions of age. With the
greatest consideration for the
veteran statesman, these friends
raeutfoned among other failings
consequent upon age his failing
memory. This had been ob-i
served for some considerable
time by Senators and others at
the Capitol and elsewhere, who
came in close and constant
connectionmth him.
"The vast amount of work to
be done by the. Secretary of
State during the present ad
ministration, owing to he dip
lomatic complications existing
between this country and Spain,
Cuba, Hawaii, Japan and Tur--kef
was pointed out io the
President, and he was tola .that
Mr. Sherman's advanced age
and his infirmities would not
permit to give these important
matters the consideration, due
them.
"Ihe President was not to
be deterred in his purpose, for
he wanted Jo pay his debt of
gratitude to Mr. Hanna. He
said to these advisers that he
would see to it that Mr. Sher
man's strength would not be
overtaxed, for he would give
him an assistant thoroughly
capable of relieving the Secre
tary of the greater portion of
the cares of the office.
"Mr. Sherman was appointed,
and it was with the greatest
reluctance that he accepted.
His many years of politics
warned warned him that in
relinquishing his seat in the
Senate be was hurrying to a
close of his public career, but
the firmness of will that had
ever characterized JoW Sher
man in ms aggressive career
seemed to be wanting, aid the
appointment nnany wjfs ac
cepted.
"Soon after Secretary Sher
man was installed in voffice his
failing health became very ap
parent. It created grave ap
prehension in the administra
tion. Finally, the infirmity be
came so pronounced that the
President concluded that he
could hesitate no longer, and,
one morning, to the sujf rise of
everyone, he cancelehe com
mission of Judge llliam Day
as special comnjrfsioner to Cuba
and appoinfed him Assistant
Secretary of State, thereby an
ticipating, by several weeks an
action that had been scheduled
to go in effect upon the return
of Judge Day from Cuba.
"The Assistant Secretary at
once was placed in charge of
all the important State matters,
and from that day to this John
Sherman has been Secretary of
State in name only. This ac
tion of the administration wor
ried the Secretary very much.
He realized its import, and
seemed to feel it as a reflection
on him. He knew that his
former colleagues in the Senate
were doing business with an
assistant that should be done
with himself, and he felt keenly
the knowledge that the diplo
matic representatives called on
official business to see Judge
Day and called on him as a3
mere formality.
"He brooded over it constant
ly, and his memory became
more and more treacherous. So
forgetful is ho now that often
at Cabinet meetings, he has
forgotten to take with him pa
pers he knew to be indispens
able to the subject to be con-
sidered by the Cabinet.
"He has repeatedly made
statements to representatives of
the press one day and, forget
ing what he has saidj has the
following day given out the re
verse. This as been theexperi
ence of the .members of the
Cabinet, and for a long time
they hare been much concern
sd dad Under fear that th& Sec-of
retary's treacherous memory
would involve the State Depart
ment in serious complications
with foreign diplomats.
At serious indication of in
firmity was his asSuratfce to
the Portuguese Minister and
several other -foreign ministers
that he did not approve the
treaty with Hawaii, and his
denial later thai he had made
the statement "His neglect to
notify the Japanese Miuister,
when he notified .all others, of
the time when the Hawaiian
treaty would be signed, al
though he had beet? specially
resquested to furnish the in
formation, has created an un
pleasant complication with the
Japanese Government, for
which the administration prob
ably will havo to apologize.
"It is said that the members
of the Cabinet realize now that
the forgetfulness of Mr. Sher
man is liable at any time to
very seriously interfere with
the dwlicate diplomatic matters
the State Department has on
its hand, and that they would
feel much easier if Mr. Sherman
would show his resentment
against being made a subor
dinate in the"State Department,
where he should be chief3 and
tender his resignation.
"In fact, it was current gos
sip about the State Department
yesterday that Mr. McKinley
may deem it unwise to wait un
til the Ohio election is held,
but that immediately after the
convention he may rpquest the
Secretary to resign. It is also
said that it is proposed to in
duce the venerable Secretary to
take a long summer vacation,
vith the alluring hope that rest
will Recuperate and benefit him

arms, ammunition and passen

Dauntless. On the r7tK the
Dauntless attempted to land
on the Cuban coast;
When within four miles of
the shore a Spanish orunboai
was seen heading for the
Dauntless. Then all was ex?4
citement on board, and the fili
buster's head was pointed for!
the Florida coast. OrderS
were passed to the engineers
to make the Dauntless fly, as
all knew their fate if the Span
ish vessel ever got within gdn
shot range. It was a race for
life. After several hours of
suspense it was seen the
Dauntless was the fleetest ves
sel and would escape. When
the darkness came the course
of the Dauntless was changed,
and in a short time all trace of
the Spanish vessel was lost
On the morning of the iSfch
the boiler of the Dauntless,
which had been hard taxed in
the chase, collapsed. Fottu
nately the vessel was within
twenty miles of the Florida
keys when the accident occur
red. All her boats were put
out, and her crew towed ,Jief
inside the reef, where she an
chored on the 19th inst. On
the night of the 20th the Mc
Lane fell in with and seized
the Dauntless for violation of
the neutrality laws. Her car-
go consists of arms and a large
amount of ammunition. Nine
teen passengers, Clibarisj were
aboard. The government has
a clear-case against the vessel
this time, and she and her ,
cargo will be forfeited to the
government.
