thanks for the sinking of transient and
local issues, and besought that the
tariff bill may disappoint the fears of
its opponents and excuse the hopes of
its advocates in its effect upon public
prosperity and activity"
At the request of Mr.. Pettigrew Is d.
the official papers relating to Japan's
adoption of the gold standard were or

have theory that the mysterious
shooting of the bicyclist, Nelson, while
in the company of Mrs. Staples in
Washington park last week, was
case of mistaken identity,
that the shots were fired by high

motive. Incidentally they are search

ICE BOUND WHALERS.
Eight Vessels Held Fast in the
lee = Relief Expedition
Suggested.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6, 1S97.-Ac-
cording to the news from the Arctic
brought by returning whalers. eight yes
sells are now held fast in the ice. The
steam whalers Belvidere, Orca, Jessie H.
Freeman and the schooner Rosario are
near Point Barrow, and the steam whal-
ers Newport, Fearless, JEANNE and Bark
wanderer are off the Turn Reef. The
latter four are in the open sea, 800 miles
from a provision station. Captain Nc
Gregor of the Karluk thinks that when
the ice breaks up these vessels will be
ground to pieces.
At Point Barrow the situation is not so
critical. The four ice-bound ships are
about six miles off the point. Lielbes
provision can feed them. 1t is yet pos
sible for stiff northwest wind to bring
these vessels out of danger.
The bark Gay Head, Captain Charles G..
Foley, brings back some sailors who as
sert that they were Ill fed and suffered
extreme punishment at the hands of the
captain and first mate, Frank Enas. They
declare they will unite and sue the COM
pany for damages.
Lieutenant M G. Stoney, U. S. N, who
has had much experience in the Arctic,
declares that it is the duty of the Gov
to furnish supplies to the ice-bound
whalers.
Eight more of the lost Navarho's men
have reached this city. One of them,
John Johnson, was SO badly frozen that
his toes had to be amputated.

357 feet long, 43 feet beam with a hold

HOW OHIO STANDS
Republican Majority of Five
Certain on Joint
Ballot.
SEVERAL CONTESTED SEATS
Caucus to Be Called and Hanna
Likely to Control It
Senate Democratic.
SEVERAL CONTESTED SEATS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. G. 1S97.-The
contest for control of the Ohio Legisla-
ture is considered ended today. The off,
cial counting in some counties will con-
tinue next week, but there has been such
closeE watching that no material changes
are expected. The indications are that
the Senate will stand 10 Democrats ana IL
Republicans. and the House 81 Democrats
and IS Republicans, with majority OF
five Republicans on joint ballot There
may be several contested seats, but these
cannot be considered till the Legislature
meets the first Monday in January next.
Since it seemed TO be settled that the
Republicans have small majority on
joint ballot, the rumors are revived OF a
combine of certain Republican members
with the seventy Democratic members
for the election of some one other than
Senator Hanna on the joint ballot.
When Senator Foraker was endorsed by
the Republican State Convention two
years ago for his present position in the
Senate, there was no legislative caucus.
1t is announced now that there will be
Republican Senatorial caucus when the
Legislature convenes next Jnauary. SEN
ator Hanna was endorsed at the last State
Convention for the Senate but the old
factional fight that formerly existed be-
tween Sherman and Foraker'S following
and later between the friends of Mckinley
and Foraker, has been revived this year
with more intense feeling than hereto
fore.
1t is said that there are about dozen
of the Republican members who had some
factional opposition in their counties, eS-
pecialy for their nominations, who do
not feel kindly toward the junior Ohio
Senator.
There has been so much talk of COM
bineS that it is certain that Republicans
will hold Il joint caucus for t he
nomination of a candidate for Senator.
and Senator Hanna will no doubt be the
caucus nominee. 1t is thought that as
the regular nominee there will be no
trouble about his election. as none of the
Republican members would refuse un-
der the circumstances either to enter the
caucus or to support its nominee. There
are some Republicans who are not men,
bers of the Legislature who are said to
be working for an anti-Hanna combine,
but none of the members are known to
favor such a movement. Governor Bush
nell will have a Democratic Senate on
which TO depend for the confirmation of
his appointments and no partisan legis-
lation can be passed
In addition to watching the official
counting, the representatives of candi-
dates are out in the counties seeing the
members-elect for support in the offices
at the organization of both branches,
and the Senatorial question will enter
largely into the organization of both
branches as well. as into the cases OF
contested seats.
