SENATORS lNTERROGATED.
A Poll Take on the Three Leading CUES
tions OF the Day.

"A
tions OF the Day.
NEW YORK, March IA special to
the World from Washington says: A
corps of reporters has polled the senate
on three great questions of legislation,
asking each senator:
DO you t,.vo = the repeal Of the Ter
man silver law?'
DO you favor the repeal of the Me-
Kinley tariff law?'
DO you favor the annexation Of
Hawaii?'
To repeal the Sherman act or the Nc
Kinley bill will require a majority of
the senate or As votes. But to ratify a
treaty the constitution requires two
thirds vote of all senator's present. If
the entire senate votes on the Hawaiian
treaty it will require SO affirmative
votes to ratify.
A table is printed which shows that
of SO senators in town so favor and 2S
oppose the repeal of the Sherman silver
law, while 16 are non committal; al
favor and 33 oppose the repeal of the
Mckinley act, while 8 are non-com-
initial; and 40 favor and 90 oppose the
annexation of Hawaii, while 23 are non
committal

ANOTHER new SULTAN
Zanzibars Dead Rulers Son Shut
Out.
AND HAMID INSTALLED,
As Sultan-The Natives Sympathized with Kalid
But did not Dare Defy the British
Thoroughly 0verawed.

ZANzIrAR March 7.-Ahbin Said,
sultan oi zanzibar, is dead. lie was a
brother Of Jhe former sultans, Khalfa
.ana l.ursrasn, and succeeded TO the
suitanate on the death of the former in
February. 1880 lie was born in 1855.
No sooner was Unknown that the sultan
was dead than his son, Kalid, gained
admittance TO The palace by the back
entrance, evidently with the intention
of claiming the throne in defiance of
British authority Kand caused the
portals OF the palace to be barred and
mace preparations 10 defend himself in
the structure, which besides being the
most magnificent residence in Zanzibar
is also very strongly built for defense
Gen. Mathews acting in the absence
of Sir G. A. Portal, now on his way 70
Uganda as British commissioner to ex-
anime the situation of that country,
took a prompt and vigorous course.
Proceeding to the palace with
strong force of troops, he de-
handed that the gates be opened, or
otherwise the palace would be carried
by storm if necessary. Kalid was dis
lldN SN DN lilS ItSptuAc dllltuNS Vi VhS
British, who were supported by the ma
tive authorities generally, aud he saw
no prospect of success if he should chal-
lenge conflict
Many of the natives sympathized
with Kalid on account of British oppo-
sition to the slave trade and for other
reasons, but they did not care to come
out openly in defiance OF the British.
Kalid and those who bad acted with
him concluded to yield. and the doors
of the palace were thrown open and
the troops admitted. Kalid was then
removed from the palace under guard
of soldiers, and Hamid, who has been
the designated heir TO the throne and
recognized as such by the British, was
proclaimed by the British authorities
as sultan or seyyid, and at once in
stalled in authority under the British
protectorate.
The reign of the late sultan was very
eventful, he having in 1890 accepted a
British protectorate over his dominions,
except a portion on the mainland of
Africa, which he coded to Germany for
four million marks, and having taken
vigorous steys to eXtingrish the slave
traffic and also having recently de-
clared Zanzibar free port, except as
to wine opium and tooacco The ma
tives are reported to be thoroughly
overawed by the energetic action of
the British. and Hamid is quietly ac-
copied as sovereign.

THE GREAT UEVELER.


One of the Worst Cyclic es known In Many
Years in the outh.
ATLANTA, Ca, March 7.-Reports
continue to come in from Friday nights
cyclone, which was one of the most de-
structive that ever visited the south.
There is singular coincidence con-
most exactly in the path of cyclones
which have visited this country as long
as the records show, or back to 1908.
Reports show that while the loss of life
has been greater in other sections, the
destruction of property is in all some
thing very large. Many of the people
are destitute, and calls for aid are being
made from all points along the path of
the monster At Greenville, Miss, cit
liens have already held a meeting and
organized relief committee, and issued
touching appeals.
In Troupe county the cyclone swept
away nearly all the farm houses and
no returned from there says that in
following the track of the storm nearly
everything is complete wreck, and the
loss falls heavily on the farmers. The
suffering is something terrible to con-
template People white and black were
gathering their bedding and cooking
utensils and what food they could find
scattered. So complete was the destruc-
ton that physicians could hardly find
enough dry rags or clothing with which
to bind up the wounds of the injured.
