DEPEW TALKS POLITICS.
The New York Senator's Views of the Next Presidential Campaign.
CLEVELAND, May 4.—In an interview here Hon. Chauncey M. Depew said he favored the continuance of Senator M. A. Hanna as chairman of the Republican national committee.
"In the election of 1896, Mr. Hanna showed a skill in conducting the affairs of the Republican party that has never been surpassed in the history of the party," said Mr. Depew. "It is the policy of the Republican party never to get rid of a good leader until it has found a better one,"
Speaking of the campaign of 1900 Senator Depew said the Republican party practically would have no opposition. "Bryan has read the New York Democrats out of the party and they will not again get together," he said.
"What will be the Republican issue in 1900?" was asked.
"The platform will re-assert everything the party has ever said, and the party will declare in favor of expansion."
"How about trusts?"
"Undoubtedly the Republican party will adopt a plank condemning trusts, and I also think the Democratic party will adopt a similar plank. The Republicans will reaffirm their declaration for the gold standard and there is no doubt the Democrats will again take up silver."

REED AND CROKER
Arrive In England and are Interviewed by Reporters.
SOUTHAMPTON, May 4.—The American line steamer New York arrived here today. Her passengers report that they had a pleasant voyage. Speaker Thomas B. Reed said to the correspondent of The Associated Press, who greeted him at the steamship pier, that he had come to Europe for a rest. He was shown a cablegram published here, in which it was stated that he had not resigned his post as speaker of the house of representatives and that he might be a candidate for the presidency. Mr. Reed expressed great indignation, and said that he regretted that people could not leave his affairs alone. He had come here, he said, away from newspapers, for absolute repose. With his family he was going to Winchester and Salisbury and thence to Paris.
Mr. Richard Croker was a conspicuous figure standing on the upper deck watching the passengers as they landed from the steamer. He wore a white neckerchief, a light overcoat and a derby hat. He mildly turned away several reporters who sought to have interviews with him. Subsequently Mr. Croker said to the correspondent of The Associated Press that he would remain in England until the season closed. He had had an enjoyable trip. He felt at home in England, he said, and expected to have the same pleasant time as on the occasion of previous visits here.
Mr. Croker proceeded to London. His baggage was sent direct to his racing stables at Didcot in Berkshire.

| Wade Hampton III. |
PAGE TWO—EDITORIALS.
The home of General Wade Hampton at Columbia, S. C., was destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning. The general was severely burned while trying to rescue a pet dog from a blazing room. The house was built by his slaves of brick taken from the ruins of the Hampton mansion burned when the Union army passed through that section of South Carolina. A library of 6,000 volumes was destroyed. It was probably the most valuable private collection in the South. One book was but twenty-four years younger than the printing press. The general also lost all his private papers and an English saddle, the only one of its kind in the country, that he rode all through the war, and has used on every parade he has ever participated in. The swords of three generations of Hamptons were saved, as were also the family jewels. The general is now 81 years old. His losses are severe, as he is only in moderate circumstances.
WON AT ILION.
CORTLAND VICTORIOUS BY THE SCORE OF 17 TO 13.
Cloonin Did the Pitching—Game Was Rather Loose—The Team Will Return To-night, and Open the Season Tomorrow with Hobart College—State League News.
The Cortland's played at Ilion yesterday and won in a game not at all remarkable and characterized by its lack of ginger and snap. This is not unexpected as it is so early in the season. A special from Ilion says:
A good sized crowd greeted the opening of the baseball season at Chismore park this afternoon and saw the Cortland State league team defeat the Ilion team by a score of 17 to 15. Manager Renning's men made a good showing, considering the fact that they were short three players, who were due to-day, and that they had not had an opportunity to get together before. The game was rather slow, and lacked the snap that will come after a few days' playing. Renning led both teams in batting. White, Murray and Brandt each had a chance to show their ability as twirlers during the game and each did well under the circumstances. The fielding of the Cortlands was much better than that of the home team.
The following is the score:
LEAGUE NEWS.
This is from the Schenectady Union:
It is said that Hank Ramsey's payroll for his Cortland pets will amount to $1,200. Magnate Brown of Utica has given Howard Earl carte blanche in the matter of getting a fast lot of players, and it has been hinted that his payroll is as big as that of any Eastern league club, which is $1,500. Auburn, the home of President Farrell, has been reported as violating the salary limit. These are mere rumors, but with the fast men that the cities have secured it is pretty certain that some fancy salaries are being paid. Schenectady's payroll, however, is below the league limit. High priced men are not always the best ball players.
As far as Cortland is concerned, some enthusiastic rooter somewhere must be putting up a good big bonus for the local team, providing of course there is a color of truth in the story. Cortland does not stretch the limit.
Manager Ramsey and his men will arrive from Ilion to-night
Hobart college against Cortland tomorrow at Athletic field. Game called at 3:45 P. M.
The directors of the Athletic Field association urge all who have subscribed stock, and have not yet paid their subscriptions, to do so not later than to-morrow to Treasurer Peckham at The National bank. The work is nearly completed, and the bills must be met.

The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railway has issued a complete vest pocket schedule of all National baseball games for season of 1899, showing where the clubs play each day with spaces for keeping scores, hits, errors and pitchers' names. A handy little book for lovers of baseball. Sent on receipt of 4 cents in postage, by A. J. Smith, G. P. & T. A., Cleveland, O. [Paid ad.]

"ESTHER" AT HOMER.
The Favorite Cantata to be Given by a Splendid Cast Friday and Saturday.
The cantata of "Esther, the Beautiful Queen," is to be given at Keator opera house in Homer on Friday and Saturday evenings of this week by local talent under the direction of Mr. A. D. Lane. Mr. Lane's success in preparing the cantata of "Belshazzar"' and the comic opera "The Merry Milkmaids" in Cortland is sufficient to guarantee the result of his efforts in Homer. But there are other elements of success that enter into this entertainment at Homer: The cantata itself has always been one of the most popular of the sacred productions of this kind. There is plenty of movement in it. The music is of a pleasing character. The lively choruses of the Persians contrast sharply with the more serious ones of the Jews in the earlier parts of the production. The solos are excellent. Taken in connection with all of this concerning the cantata itself is the fact that Mr. Lane has splendid material to work upon in Homer. He has a chorus of over sixty voices. The whole place has entered enthusiastically into the affair, and the best singers in this concededly musical town are taking part. The rehearsals show that all are doing splendid work and large audiences will undoubtedly be present. A considerable number from Cortland are expecting to attend and will help to swell the audiences. The cast of characters has already been published in The STANDARD.
