Washingtons were easy prey for the southpaw

THE SWEATING SYSTEM.
Factory Inspector O'Ieary of New York
Refers the Question to Congress.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 17.-Congress can,
to very large degree, solve the problem
of abolition of the sweating system by
passing more stringent immigration laws
and by tax system that would force
the workers out of the tenements into
shop buildings, where state legislation
can reach them"
That is the most important paragraph
of the eleventh report of the New York
state factory inspector, Mr.. O'Leary, end
he alleges that the greatest evil labor is
burdened with is no more prevalent in
New York City than it is in Buffalo,
Rochester, Syracuse, Philadelphia, Bos.
ton, Chicago San Francisco, Hartford,
Cincinnati, st. Louis, ST. Paul and every
other large center of population AND
especially in cities or localities where the
manufacture of clothing is carried on to
any extent. In his report, Inspector
OLeary says:

other reduction in prices, CIR which the
workingman is expected t pay, we can

THE sABBATH AT CANTON.

Canton, Jan. 17.-President-elect Nc
Kinley attended church sery .ces as usual
this morning, going to the First Methodist
church, of which congrega.- he was u
trustee. During the afternoon he took a
drive and later visited his mother. He
has been exceptionally busy since his re-
turn from Cleveland last Monday, having
met at his home some of the foremost
leaders of the party and been in almost
constant conference on matters concern
ing his administration, meeting and greet
ing an almost innumerable host of peo-
ple whose calls have no significance.
This week promises to be nearly as busy.
Further attention will be given to the
/. y,binet, it is said, and gossip has it that
important visits will be numerous. Hon.
III. S. Morey, accompanied by Gen. Bres-
Ter and wife of Detroit, came here from
Cleveland Saturday night, called on Maj.
Mckinley and returned to Cleveland this
morning. Gen. Bresler has Travelled very
extensively and has been decorated by
the king of Portugual, being member
of the Order of Christ For this reason
he has been mentioned. as possible
minister to Lisbon.
Mr.. Morey expressly denied that he
represented Mr.. Foraker or that he was
the emissary of anyone. He said his call
upon Mai. Mckinley was purely social.
Regarding Mr.. Hanna's senatorial aspi-
rations Mr.. Morey said he had no doubt
Mr.. Hanna would be pleased to be ap-
pointed, as would any other man. He
expressly denied that he had made any
such statements as were attributed to
him respecting Governor Bushnell, Chair
man Hanna, Senator Sherman, Ohio
politicians. and the selection of Senator
Sherman's successor He said he did not
know who Governor Bushnell would ap-
point, but thought he would do justice to
all concerned.

SINGLE-HANDED AND ALONE. HE
CAUSED THE AWFUL
CAHABA WRECK.
SAM PA10LkA ARRESTED IN GEORGIA
Talks Lightly of the Accident That Sent
Twenty-Five Persons to Eternity.
He Wanted Money and
Robbed the Dead.

New Orleans, Jan. 1S.-Sam Palatka,
cross-eyed, fend in expression, revolt
ing in countenance, confesses to having
perpetrated the great Cahaba river
bridge disaster, which occurred three
weeks ago in Alabama. Stolidly and
with immovable lines of criminal harsh
ness on his face, he admits that single
handed he sent twenty-five persons to a
horrible death and injured and MANNED q
score more. There was no romantic
reason back of the work of this craven
coward, man who dared discovery,
which in Alabama meant certain death,
to drive train to destruction in order to
obtain few dollars.
The appalling accident caused by the
removal of rail occurred early Sunday
morning three weeks ago near Birming-
ham, on the Mineral branch of the Louis
vile and Nashville. A train bearing half
a hundred passengers was progressing
at fair speed, without thought of dan.
ger, over the great Cahaba trestle. The
reversed lever of the engine, observed
after the wreck, showed clearly that the
brave engineer saw the danger ahead and
attempted to save the lives of his pas
/ sengers, though instant and horrible
death stared him in the face. Lying
below, hidden behind convenient ledge
of rock. was the relentless wrecker, who
had ripped rail from the trestle, fas
tened it across the track and then made
his way to where he could steal from the
yet warm bodies of the dead and help
lessly wounded the money that was tc
pay him for the terrible work.
Palatka was arrested in Eatonton
Putnam county, in middle Georgia. His
, captors believed him half-witted, as ht
gave himself away. Those in charge OF
him today in Atlanta, as he was on his
way to Alabama, say he is absolutely
reckless and entirely without human

FRESH FROM CANTON.

Philadelphia, Jan. 17.-United Senator
Quay and State Senator Penrose returned
to this city today after their trip to Can
ton, where they visited President-elect
Mckinley. Senator Quay remained
quietly at the Hotel Walton for few
hours, leaving for Washington in the af-
ternoon. He declined to be interviewed
concerning his conference with Maj. Nc
Kinley.
Speaking of his visit to Canton, Sena-
tor Penrose expressed surprise at the eX-
cellent physical condition displayed by
the president-elect. He said Maj. Nc
Kinley's eye was bright and clear and
his every movement indicated the posses
sion of almost perfect health and
strength. This Mr.. Penrose regarded as
remarkable, considering the general phys
ical and mental strain he has undergone
for the last few months. He expressed
himself as perfectly satisfied with the re-
suit of his visit. but, like Senator Quay,
declined to say anything of its nature for
publication.
HOBART HEARD FROM.
Newark, n. j.. Jan. 17.-Vice Presi-
dent-elect Garrett A. Hobart, in an in
terview today, said that there would be
no cabinet appointments from New Jer-
sey, more particularly for the reason, he
added, that New Jersey seems to have
been pretty well provided for. He said
that the talk of military escort for the
vice president-elect from New Jersey tc
Washington amounted to nothing. He
did not desire anything of the kind, and
the matter will not even be submitted tC
the Legislature for consideration, he de.
clared.
Mr.. Hobart will go to Washington en-
Tuesday, March 2, and will be accom-
panied by Mrs. Hobart and his son. He
has taken apartments at the Arlington
and will reside there while his ofticia
duties require his presence at the ma
tional capital. In Mr.. Hobarts party
will be Governor Griggs and his staff.

GOVERNOR BUSHNELL THINKS
HIMSELF PECULIARLY FIT
TED FOR U. S. SENATOR
WOULD RESIGN The GOVERNORSH|P
With the Understanding That Lieuten-
ant Governor Jones Elevate Him to
the Senate-Hanna Denies
Report Published Sunday

Springfield, o., Jan. ia close rela-
tive of Governor Bushnell, whose name
can not be used for obvious reasons,
makes the statement, about the authen-
ticity of which there can be no doubt,
that Governor Bushnell in so many words
stated to him nat he would not appoint
Marcus A. Hanna to the prospective va
cancy in the United States senate. The
governor and the relative mentioned had
quite talk on the subject, and the gov
mas name could not be considered for
the place at all. The relative further
along stated to local newspaper man
that there was no doubt whatever of
Governor Bushnell's desire to 60 to the
senate himself. He added that he was
very ambitious politically and that the
present situation afforded him an oppor-
tunity to crafty long cherished wish
to get into the senate. In connection
with this, Governor Bushnell's friends
are openly requesting him to resign as
governor and let Lieutenant Governor
Jones, who would be his successor, ap-
point him senator Jones would then be
the republican candidate for governor
next fall by ,.e turn of affairs.
To strengthen the above statement, if
strength is needed, all newspaper men
who have tried to interview Governor
Bushnell abou Hanna's candidacy for
the senate show that he always courte-
ously declined to talk about it. In view
of this fact it is argued that if there
was no objection to Hanna the governor
would speak out.
