Ir was understood that the democrats
had been in caucus last evening aud had
determined to pursue the same course as
heretofore-that OF voting solidly for Nc
Cormack-for awhile yet.
THE leading candidates were visible at
times last evening, but non of them
seemed to have the confident air of men
who looked for their political salvation to
come in the near future.
IT Is safe to say that the senator will not
be chosen to-day.
JUDGE bARTHoLOMEw's name was
mentioned as a candidate last night. Sew

for him II he was nominated. Judge Lau-
der, also, was spoken OF, and not a few de.
clared in favor Of Governor Burke.
Col. LoUNsBERRY still believed last
evening that his political star had not set,

Walter Muir, gave the farmers "tits'' for
not rallying to his standard when he need

they would correct their sins OF omission
in case Mr.. Muir should come as near the
goal to-day. No answer was given, and the
colonel said that he did not expect
they would do it. He Their told the crowd
that as far as he was concerned as a repub-
can, H. c. Hansbr0ugh was satisfactory
to dim. The colonel when beginning his
speech had surrendered his shiny silk tile
to John r. Cook with the remark that he
thought it safe with a man from the Bad
Lands, but that he wouldn't have trusted it
with any one from Cass county.

The agony is over Henry c. Hans
brough has been elected United States
senator to succeed Gilbert A. Pierce.
At IL o'clock yesterday when the joint
session was called to order by the presi-
dent of the senate, the room of the house
was as crowded as on any of the previous
days since the session began and the in.
terest was painfully intense.
AS the various roll-calls were proceeded
the audience had pencil and paper in hand
and kept tally of the vote. There was no
material change during the first session of
the day except that Hansbrough, as he had
done from the beginning, kept creeping
to the front. He never once retreated but
slowly and surely his figures kept increas.

Ballot after ballot was taken and the
Sphnix-like democrats still rallied to the
standard of the leader. will they never

publican who believed that his favorite
candidate might be the gamer when Sena.

Hansbrough 81 and Pierce IS votes.
During the intermissfon everything that
could be done was done in a final effort to
bring strength to the leading candidates in
the field, But the finger Of success was
pointing to the man from Ramsey and it
was impossible to make a break in his de.

held a caucus and tbirty-two decided to
stick to him to the end. Part of the Cas-

A LITTLE Ay,LIN TALK.


Things political We're of a lively nature
last night. The various leading candi-
dates were making their supreme efforts
and ~butt"nholing was the order of the
evening. AT all early hour considerable
excitement was Gre ted by the announce
ment that a combination had been made by
the farmers on Lieutenant, Governor Allin.
and that, Tomorrow, enough, or nearly
enough, votes would be cast for him to
secure his election. But, later in the
night, the facts on which the ruinor was
based, became public property. A caucus Or
meetingwas held at thePacitc hotel, asw hich
a couple Of dozen members, and as many
other citizens, We're present. The situation
was discussed, and Mr.. Allin's name was
mentioned. 1t was favOrably received, but
there seemed to be no disposition on the
part of those present to desert their fay
Orite candidates and become factors to a
new deal. The meeting adjourned without
taking any action.
After the Allin scare had subsidized, the
usual speculation and prophecies as to the
outcome of to-day's balloting was resumed.
It seemed to be the general opinion that u
senator would not be chosen for several bal
lots, or until the loyal following of the lesser
candidates became tired out and convinced
of the hopelessness of their 1avorite's
choice.
The democrats also held a meeting last
evening, and. it is said, agreed on a pro-
gramme for to day. 1t is likely they will
break, after a ballot or two, and go
somewhere.

Legislative Gossip,

A MEMBER who was on the band wagon:
Some of the boys that were on the losing

the use of it? The game Of politics is a
game of chance, and the man doesn't live

to the end, voting for him on every Joint
ballot: SenatOrs-Messrs. Arnold, Cashel
ana Mccormick. Representatives-Messrs
Beardsley, Burton, bennett, Erickson, Fay,
Oliver and Thompson.
ONE Of the happiest men in town is SEN
ator Mccormick, who comes from Hans
brough's county. He has worked hard for
him all through the campaign.
MORE than a hundred kilograms of con-
graduation from all parts of the state
were received by Mr.. Hansbrough last
night. One from Devils Lake stated thai

TENTH BALLOT.

After the twelfth ballot a motion was
made to dissolve but it was voted down by
the Hansbrough forces and the democrats
-36 to 45.
Mr.. LITTLE moved a call of the house.
This motion provoked some merriment as
it was not generally believe that a call of
the house could be had in joint convention.
The president decided it in order under
the joint rules and it was senator Little's
time to laugh. But MIR. Little withdrew
his motion and another vote was taken
as follows:

NdTu FROM governor Pierce.
10 the Editor of the TRIBUNE: Permit
me to say here what l should have been
glad to lave said had l be II present at the
joint convention which elected my sue
cessor.
When Abraham Lincoln was defeated
for the United States senate, many years
ago, he was asked, upon leaving the hall,
how he felt, and he responded by saying
that he felt a good deal like the big bow
who stubbed his toe; he was too big to cry
and it hurt too almighty bad to laugh. Nat.
urally. l am something of the same humor
myself, for l am human enough to be dis
appointed at the result. But l should be
unworthy of the friends who have stood
by me so truly if l did not accept the result

nation. have no sore spots, nc ranking
hatred, no heart burnings. Ny successor

should be able to do good service for the
state. believe he will. In common with
the members of the legislative assembly. 1

am ready to give both, frankly and honest
ly. For the welfare of the state, l hope
Mr.. Hansbrough may be able to do more
than / have done to advance its interests;
he cannot try harder, but he may be more
successful-and to that end he should have
the hearty cooperation of every good ci,i-
zen. And now, thanking my friends for
their fidelity and the legislature for its

may characterize this session of the assem-
bly, n that its deliberations may result in

properly applied to nocturnal doings.

boys call a little social and spiritual COM
munion just now.
WHEN the big three of the democrats Of
the senate-Bidlake, Engle and Patch
voted for Hansbrough, it became a GER
tainty that the completion OF the roll call
was all that Was necessary to declare him
the victor.

from a ~neighboring county gave the

life-like imitation of a ghost-dance. But

to tranfer his vote from Bulge to Ball is
incorrect.
ONE of the men most happy over the
outcome vas representative Fay, the
member from the Hansbrough stronghold
of Mcintosh.
WHEN it comes to authorities on parlia-
mentary tactics Col. Little is no SLOUGH

the house in joint session, and some of the
boys tried to laugh him down in gre at

Lieutenant Governor Allin ruled that he
was III order. Then the colonel withdrew
his motion, but he gave the house to under
stand that he did it because his motion had
been ruled on as being in order.

for a break was at hand. Ball's vote, CON

.AUGUST's HOT WAVE DUE.
One Of the Most Extensive Of It's Kind
Is with Us To-Day.

There are some peculiar things about the
hot wave which arrived at New York yester-
day and is still In full swing.
Iu the first place, It is one OF the most eX-
tensive waves of its kind on record, for II has
spread owe. the entire country from the
Rocky Mountains to the coast OF Maine.
Then another remarkable feature about It
Is that the hottest weather is along the
northern edge OF the wave. The temperature
in Southern and Central Minnesota and
Michigan Is about as high to-day as II Is
along the shores OF the Gulf OF Mexico, which
Is very unusual.
At Marquette, Mich, 1t was 80 degrees at
o'clock, while It vas the same at Jackson
VILE, Fla, and . degrees cooler at New Or
leans.
Weather Observer Dunn intimates that It
would be good thing FOR GOthhmltcs 10 get
ready for u warm spell. II started In at 20
degrees here this morning, and there Is ap-
parently enough stored up caloric In the local
wave to send the mercury up pretty nearly 10

Dunns wet bulb thermometer showing per-
centage of 6S. However, IL may be worse To-
morrow, and those who want 10 Insure their
personal comfort had better make arrange
such thing is possible.
Mr.. Dunn's local forecast for New York and
its immediate vicinity for to-day Is fair
weather, with possibly showers this evening,
stationary temporal ure and southwest winds.
The hottest place In the country this morn
ing was Galveston, Tex, where the ther-

EEwTowN OFFERS A REWARD.
NEwTowN, Aug. Sat a meeting Of the
Town Board last night, Justice Brandon
called attention to the fact that the brutal
killing OF Hannah Robinson was the last OF a
number OF fendish murders which had been
committed within the borders OF the town,
and that IN no case had the murderer or mur-
derers been brought to justice.
Justice Brandon thought that the Town
Board should take prompt action, and offered
a resolution that a reward OF $500 should be
| offered for the arrest and conviction OF the
murderer or murderers OF Hannah Robertson.
The resolution was promptly adopted.
ONE SUSPECT THE LESS.
| NEW HAVEN, Conn, Aug. S.-Edward NJ.
Baldwin, whose name is connected with the
Glendale. L. l., murder mystery, and who was
suspected TO be identical with Charles Weber,
the missing identifier, Is a farmer In the town
OF Woodbridge, eight miles from this city.
He was found this morning, and was much
surprised to hear that he was notorious
suspect. He explained the connection OF his
name with the murder In this way:
~ was married a year ago. My wife lived
with me two weeks and left me. When saw
the story OF the finding OF the dead body OF a
woman in tho paper wrote for description

oi her body have been ferreted out by the de-
tectives.
The officers have also found half dozen
people who saw Hannah and the man to-
gether, and all OF these persons are confident
they would know the man II they were TO sec
him again.
Hannah told the truth, It has been learned,
when she Informed Rector Smalley, OF Hew-
let's, that she was going to Brooklyn. She
bought ticket TO that city and went there,
Tor at O'Clock trainman saw her step from
car at the Flatbush avenue station.
From the railroad station Hannah went
direct to the Maternity Hospital, on Concord
street, between Adams and Washington, ar
irving there at $50 o'clock. When she be-
came mother, little more than year ago,
Hannah was cared for at this hospital, and
Mrs. w. ii. Wells, the matron, remembered
and recognized her at once.
Hannah asked Mrs. Wells where Mrs.
steeng, VINO had been an inmate when she
was being nursed there and to whom she had
become much attached, could be found Mrs.
Wells told the girl that Mrs. stecnE was liv-
Ing at 392 Grand street, Williamsburg, and
at 6.35 O'Clock Hannah left the hospital to
Vail W tue huuTeSS gwen
When she reached 3o2 Grand street she was
accompanied by the man who Dooley says was
Afterwards with her In Evergreen Cemetery.
George Snyder, furniture dealer, opened
the door when Hannah rang at 392 He told
her that Mrs. steeng was living at 35 scholes
street, but that she intended to remove to 392
Grand street in few days
Hannah thanked him and turning to the
man asked him II he would go with her to
scholes street. He said that he would, and
they walked away together.
Snyder says this man wore a light suit, a
dark-colored derby hat and had stubby
beard and sandy mustache.
The couple did not call at 35 Scholes street,
for Mrs. Steeng, who was at home all Satur-
day evening, saw nothing OF them.
Soon after O'clock however, Hannah and
her companion, according to Policeman
Dooley, turned up In Evergreen Cemetery.
WHAT POLICEMAN DooLEY SAW.
"The two went into the little vine-covered
Policeman Dooley to Constable Brechter
"and watched them because from the way
they were carrying on supposed them to be
lovers.
