two houses to-day assures Foraker's
election.
In the Senate Foraker received 80
votes for United States Senator; Brice,

In the House the vote stood: For

are Democrats. Foraker received the
full Republican vote.
Speaker Sleeper in the House, after
he vacated the chair, said heswould
name Repu blican from Ohio to sue
ceed Mr. Brice. Sherman, since the
war, had had a Democratic colleague,
but Ohio proposed to 'break the
record with record breaker.fng y(Ap-
plause.) There had been no caucus;
none was needed; Foraker'se face and
voice were familiar in every county Of
Ohio. He had run for governor four
times and though defeated twice he
appeared to-day in the phenomenal
position of being the peoples choice
without a caucus.
Senator Hysell, IN presenting the
name of Mr.. Brice, made use of 1900
words, extolling the Senator as though
was not asking the compliment of this
vote, but was the Democratic Senator
from Ohio. He had never been silent
when the voice of his party had called.
Joseph Benson Foraker was born
July 5, 1916, on farm in Highland

8 - Napoleon Near His Waterloo.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. Senator Nor
gan S speech on the silver bond bill
was the event Of the Senate yesterday,
although a sharp personal colloquy
between Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Butler and Mr..
Pritchard enlivened the early hours.
Mr.. Morgan frequently addressed him
self personally to Mr.. Sherman, who
sat across the aisle, and for two hours
arraigned the Ohio senator for the
series of financial acts with which he
is identified At times Mr.. Morgan
was bitterly personal. He referred to
Mr.. Sherman as the Napoleon Of
finance who was near his Waterloo,
and who would be consigned to ST.
Helena In the main, however, the
speech was u scholarly presentation of
the silver question. Mr.. Hills COLO
guy with the two North Carolina sem
ators brought out considerable discus
sion of the New York senator's polit-
ical consistency, and was amusing to
the galleries for the sharp sallies and
witty rejoiDders during the triangular
dcbate.
The vice president laid before the
senate letter from the secretary of
the treasury in reply to resolution Of
inquiry presented by Mr.. PETER as to
whether 500, 100000 in gold had at
any time been set apart from other
funds. The secretary states that this
had never been done, there being no
provision Of law authorizing it.
