pr. Talmage Breaches About the Arbitra- tion Between the United States and Great Britain-Republicans Fig
 uring on the Senate.,'

SPRINGFIELD, O., Jan. 1s.--A close relative of Gov. Bushnell, whose name cannot be used for obvious reasons, makes the statement, about the authen- ticity of which there can be no doubt, that Gov. Bushnell, in so many words, stated to him that he would not ap- point Marcus A. Hanna to the pro- spective vacancy in the United States senate. The governor and the relative mentioned had quite talk on the sub ject, and the governor gave him to un- derstand that Hanna's name could not be considered for the place at all. The relative further along stated to a local newspaper man that there was no doubt whatever of Gov. Bushnells desire to go to the senate himself. He added that he was very ambitious politically, and that the present situation afforded him an op- portunity to gratify long-cherished wish, to get into the senate. In con- nection with the above, a number of Gcv. Bushnelfs friends are openly re- qaesting him to resign as governor and then let Lieut.. Gov. Jones, who would be his successor, appoint him senator. To strengthen the above statement,-i if strength is needed, all newspaper men who have tried to interview Gov. Bush- nell about Hanna's candidacy for the senate, know that he has always cour- teously 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.
 SPEEDY RATIFICATION URGED.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Dr. T. De Witt Talmage, in his sermon Sunday morning, referred to the arbitration treaty in the following language: "The mightiest, grandest movement for driv- ing cruel war out of the earth dates from January II, 1897. The men who on either side of the sea did most to effect that plan of arbitration have made themselves immortal. The even- ing of the present administration of the United States government has been honored with the gladdest event of IS centuries. All civilized nations will copy the sublime example. I implore the illustrious senate of the United States to allow nothing to interfere with vote of ratification, that the bells of all christendom may ring out Peace on earth, good will to men, Senators, many of you my personal friends, let me say this is the opportunity of your lives. By emphatic and enthusiastic vote, rise to the splendor of the occa- sion and win the favor of all the good of earth and all the mighty of Heaven. Let the Aye Aye of our American sem ate resound through all the capitals of Europe, and make all the arsenals and armories of the world hear that there shall be no more murder among na- tions."
 FIGURING ON MAJORITY.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The repub- licans are more confident than ever of having a working majority in the sen- ate for the passage of tariff bill in the Fifty-Fifth congress. With every prospect of electing a republican sen- ator in Kentucky and the return of Senator Pritchard from North Caro- lima, they will have tie vote, with the vice president.
