"SUCTION" CASE ENDS.
a Man Cannot be Drawn Under the
Cars by Suction.

ST. Louis, Feb. 12.-Probably the most
celebrated case ever tried in the law
courts of Missouri was decided in the SUI
preme court Thursday afternoon. 1t is
the suit brought against the Iron Noun
tain railroad for $1,000 damages for the
death of James Ganey, killed six years
ago by train ON that road. The decis-
ion of the circuit court is reversed and re-
manded for trial
The case has been commonly known as
the Suction case because James GaneY
was alleged to have been drawn under the
cars by the force of the wind created by
the passing train.
The plaintiffs placed Prof Nipper OF
Washington university on the stand to
testify as an expert and through him
scientific point entirely new in the trial
of damage cases against railroad COM
panies was brought out The popular sup
position was that the boy. James Ganey.
was drawn under the train by suction
was disproved. 1t was shown that instead
of there being any suction the air current
had contrary effect.
1t was shown that train of cars rum
ming at 4 high rate of speed creates a
movement of air near it in the same d1-
rection. The train in question carried the
air along with it with such velocity and
force to tend to move overthrow
anyone standing near it. AS a scientific
proposition it was demonstrated that the
tendency of an air current thus produced
would be to turn an object standing near
the tracks around, because he current
of air on the side of the object closest to
the train moves faster than that on the
side furtheSt from it.

Washington, Feb 12.-The blockade run

blood and in spite of all the preparations
made by Admiral Bunce to deter any at
tempt to pass the long line of ships, he
had strung out across the entrance of the
harbor, the Dolphin, not by any means a
fast boat, nor invincible as regular
blockade runners, slipped quietly around
one end of the line on the Sth instant ard
when the department next heard of her

The officials at the department. were

Charleston, s. c., Feb. 12.-The mis-
cradle weather of yesterday again pre-
walls today preventing the North At
lantic squadron putting in the custO-
mary target and rowing practice. The
Monitor Amphitrite, which came up to
the city yesterday afternoon. is still
anchored in the stream awaiting her
supply of coal. The remaining members
of the fleet are still at the anchorage
ground, II to 16 miles from the city. 1t
is reported by q tow boat crew that the
battIeShip Indiana has arrived. The flag
ship New York, the cruiser Marblehead

It is pretty well settled that the dis

Elaborate arrangements are being

HE SAID "NO".
When Bushnell was Asked if He
Would Appoint Hanna-His
Tongue Slipped.

New York, Feb. pa Columbus. o..
special published in the Sun is as fol-

Governor Bushnell said point blank
today that he would not appoint Mr.
Hanna to succeed Mr.. Sherman in the
United States senate. The Sun CORE

8 p. m. The correspondent said:
The feeling seems to prevail, doesn't
it, governor. that Mr.. Hanna can get
anything he wants out of the senatorial

Some people seem to think so,'' he
replied, with emphasis on some"

No"
The word slipped out quickly. With
the same breath the governor declared:
NO have nothing more to say about
the political situation"
This was said by way of covering his
emphatic negative. but there was no
Tnistaking the emphasis that laid stress
upon his first word no" which was a
slip of the tongue and exquressed his
true feelings. Immediately afterward
he walked to the door of his office and
declared the interview at an end.

WON'T COMPROMISE.
Railway Attorneys Will Not Agree
to Senate Committees Offer.

There will be no compromise between
the senate committee on railroads and
the railway companies in reference to
the arrangement of the maximum
freight rat schedule. The railway at
torneys in this city today stated that
90 per cent reduction in the present
rates would be absolutely ruinOus to the
railroad companies, and would not be
agreed to. Unless the senate commit
tee decide to arrange the schedule on
the basis of 10 per cent reduction in
the rates on grain and a Is per cent re-
duction in the rates on live stock and
coal, the passage of a maximum freight
rate law in this state will result in liti-
cation Which may last for several
years.
A prominent railroad attorney stated
today that if there was no compromise
reached between the committee and the
railway companies, and a maximum
freight rate law was passed, it would
be Immediately enjOined and the matter
taken up in the courts. The railroad
companies do not desire this litigation"
said he, and are willing to meet the
legislators more than half way. But a
20 per cent cut from our present rate,
with the power vested in the board of
reduce the rates, would be abSOlut ely
ruinous and will not be agreed upon.
If it comes to an ENJOYMENT of the
law, we have precedent before us in
the decision of Judge Brewer of the
Nebraska law. With a reduction of
only 10 per cent the rates would still
be lower than the maximum rate sched-
ule arranged under the Nebraska law,
and there is no doubt that the courts
would hold the law to be Illegal
At the meeting of the senate. commit
tee last night the sub committee de-
cided to postpone action on the ar
rangement of the schedule until to-
night and that in the event the rail-
way companies refused to agree to the
proposition of a 20 per cent reduction
the Iowa rates would be used as
basis in arranging the schedule
At the meeting the committee decid-
ed to recommend for passage the anti
pass bill introduced in the senate by
Senator Harris. This bill, as amend
ed, provides that it shall be unlawful
for any railway company to issue
passes to any person whatsoever eX-
cept employees.

CAPITOL BURNS.
Canadian Parliament Buildings
Are Almost Entirely Con-
sumed BY Fire.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 12-The upper
stories of the group of handsome pariia-
ment buildings in this city are practi-
cally in ruins, as the result of a fire
which started in them yesterday after
noon. The loss is over $500, 600 Thou
sands of dollars worth of valuable re-
ports have been destroyed The local
fire department was unable to stop the
progress of the fire, and aid was asked
from Montreal.
The fire is believed to have been of
incendiary origin, and in consequence
the greatest excitement prevails.
tIre was discovered in the afternoon
on the top floor of the west block of the
parliament buildings south of the Mac
kenzie tower, and Immediately the de-
partmental fire brigade was brought in
to requisitiOn. Several pieces of hose
were laid and a rush was made for the
MIGRANTS, when it was discovered they
were all frozen. An alarm from the
city was then sounded and the city fire
brigade turned out.
In the meantime the fire was spread
ing, eating its way along the roof to-
wards the south. The streams were put
on from 80 hydrantS, when the depart
mental hose burst and the city depart
ment hose had to be depended on alto
gether. By this time the fire had so in
creased that it was bursting out through
the windows, through the roof and also
along the edge between the roof and the
walls. 1t ate along with terrific rapid
ty and soon the roof of the Mackenzie
wing was one mass of flames and smoke
and the general alarm was struck and
the whole fire brigade turned out and
was soon at active work. Strea ms
were poured upon the flames from ali
directions. Theafire continued to spread
however and soon the tower on the
was next destroyed and the flames con-
tlnued to eat their way, and, reaching
the next large tower, commenced to
lick that, and finally had it completely
engulfed in ruins

a CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT.
There is Likely to be Trouble in the
Old Seventh.

Congressional politics in the Seventh
district has become a subject of no
small moment among the Populists.
a Seventh district Populist has Of
fered to bet 81, 600 that Jerry Simpson
will not succeed himself. Mr. Simp-
son refuses to discuss the proposition,
but. it is said, has taken occasion to
spread a little poison against the man
he regards as his most formidable OPP
ponent, w. F. Brown of Pratt, who, -
Mr.. Simpson says, lis running the state
administration"
In an interview at Newton Mr. Simp-
son stated that the appointment of
John w. BreidenthaI as bank commits
Sioner was very much in doubt; in fact,
it was practically agreed that Breiden-
thai should be turned down and that
w. F. Brown of Pratt would prObabl
get the place. Simpson is credited
with saying: Brown is running the
state administration and he can have
the place if he will ask for it,
Governor Leedy is of a different opin-
ion. and says: Mr.. Breidentha1 will
be his own successor. There is no doubt
about that
Simpson has also made the claim that
Brown is making an effort to arrange
the Seventh district, under the proposed
redistricting scheme, in such a man
ner as will accrue to his advantage in
the coming campaign.
Mr.. Brown denies the claim of Simp-
son, saying that he does not even know
the members of the congressional ap-
portionment committee, much less hav-
ing taken any part in the plans for
changing the boundaries of the district.
There is beyond any question now
brewing a fight for the congressional
nomination in the Seventh. Simpson
seems to have made many enemies
among his own party members and
they are outspoken in declarations
against him.
Mr. Brown is by no means the only
man who might be struck by congress
SiOnal lightning.
Representative Fairchild of King
man. one of the best lawyers in the
legislature and one of the. acknow1-
edged leaders of the Populist side of
the house, is experiencing formidable
boom to succeed Simpson. Fairchald
is friendly to both Simpson and Brown,
and is regarded by his friends as the
logical solution of the difficulty which
will certainly follow as the result of
the contest between Simpson and
Brown.
Brown has the advantage of Mr.. Fair
child as to legislative experience, hav-
ing served two terms, While Mr.. Fair
child is enjoying his first term.
Brown is also the author of the freight
rate bill which the house committee
recommended for
