The San Francisco call., 1897-11-05

on Joint ballot for Senator. Chairman
Nash said the returns from the Thirteenth
| District showed that the Repu blicans had
plurality of 432. so that there is no longer
any of the State Senators in doubt, and
the Senate will stand 19 Democrats to II
Republicans. At Republican State head
| quarters Summit County is not considered
so doubtful as heretofore and its two rep
resentatives are being conceded to the
Democrats. This would make the House
SO Republicans and 81 Democrats.
Chairman McConville does not admit
that the Republicans have carried the
Thirteenth District for their candidate for
State Senator and he still claims the Rep
resentatives from Noble, Delaware, Wood,
Muskingum and other counties claimed
bv the Republicans. He also expects The
icial count to give to the Der ocTats the
twelve mem bers of he Legislature from
Cuyahoga County. In all these couu ties
and in others he SAYS there will be con-
tests for the seats in the event of the GER
tifcates of election being given to the Re-
publicans.
Chairman McConville charges fraud in
the close counties and in some Repub-
lican counties. He says nearly all the
close counties have gone Republican
here eloiore and the Republl cans still have
the machinery in those counties. He says
the returns have been held back and it
looks suspicious. O,her counties have
com pleted their counting, while the
doubtful counties are still at ii. He saws
the result was known definitely in Cin-
cinnati yesterday morning and he cannot
get definite results even tonight from
Cleveland where he expects the vote to be
very close on two or three members Of the
Legislature. Chairman McConville will
remain here on duty until the official
count OF all the counties is com pleted.
Senator elect Lewis Voight, one of the
Independent Repu blicans elected in Ham,
ilton County Tuesday, was asked how he
stood on political matters. Mr.. Voight
replied: II am a Republican, sound
money man and, furthermore, l am a sup
porter of the present national administra-
sion."
How will you vote on United States
Senator?"
Il shall vote for Republican" replied
Mr.. Voight.
"Will you vote for Hanna2'
That will not say; nor will l say for
whom shall vote."
"Will you attend the Republican eau
cus2"
II will not"
I'm the event Hanna is the choice Of
the Republican caucus for United States
Senator, will you vote for him ?"
THAT | will not say. l will repeat that
l shall vote for Republican for United
States Senator and will not go further
than that unit. the time comes to vote"

COLONEL KNIGH7'S MISSIOy.
In Washington for the Probable Pur-
pose of 0usting District
ATTORNEY F0Ofe

WASHINGTON. Nov. a. = Colonel
George A. knight, the San Francisco
lawyer, slipped into Washington last
night and put up at WiIards. telling the
clerk that he did not care to register. A
CALL correspondent met him in the hotel
lobby. "Hello!" said he; Pm dis
covered, but don't say Pm here" The
colonel mysteriously limited that there
might be story in 1t in few days
1t is believed that he is here in connec-
tion with the District Attorneyship t.
succeed Henry S. Foote, but whether he
wants the place for himself or fo1 a friend
is not apparent. T proba bilities are
that he wants to get Foote ousted, mas
much as it has been reported on the coast
that the chances for Foote'S retention
until the expiration of his term are go d,
for the reason that he was a gold money
Democrat.

closed to-day and all the mem bers of the
State Committee have gone to their re-
spective homes. Before leaving Chair
man Murray Van Iver gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
GAS far as the joint convention of the
General Assembly is concerned the mat
ter is not entirely settled, and will not be
until the official returns are made up.
''In regard to the House of Delegates ]
am still of the opinion that the Demo
Gratis will have majority in that body
and will organ ze it. The election in sew
eral of the counties is so close that it is
impossible to tell at present which side
has won, and l believe a recount will be
demanded in Montgomery County by the
Democrats, who claim that they have
elected at least one and possibly two
members OF the House. while the Repub b.
licans claim they have elected all three.
A recount may also be demanded in Tai
bot and Carroll counties to determine the
result with certainty. At any rate we
have not gwen up our expectation of con-
trolling the House, whether we have a
majority on joint ballot or not.
THE Democratic candidates who have
been, in many instances, noted as anti
Gorman men, while in the same counties
the German men have been elected. In
one or two instances which could specify
these men were cut simply because they
were not believed to be German men.
This shows that the anti German outcry
did not hurt the Democrats in the coun-
ties, for there the Senator always has had
his strong hold 10 a large extent. am
more convinced than ever bv the result of
this election that the anti German senti-
ment is almost entirely confined to the
city OF Baltimore and the Democrats of
the counties are measurably free from it.
In my opinion, even if it should turn out
that the Senator is defeated, he is stronger
to-day in the country districts of the State
than he ever was"
Among those most prominently men,
TONED as the proba BILE successor to SEN
ator German are Alexander Shaw. ex-
Congressman Findlay. Postm aster-G Gen.
eral Gary and Congressman Mudd.

DISCOVERED In THE
VATICAN ARCHIVES
Alleged Finding Of Pontius
Pilates Report on the
CruCifixion.
While Officials Are Retic ant It Is
Believed Some Remarkable Docu-
ments Have Been Unearthed.
Special Dispatch to The CALL.

Special Dispatch to The CALL
NEW YORK, Nov. A World cable
from Rome says: A correspondent visited
the Vatican to-day to obtain authorita-
tive information regarding the reported
finding in the Vatican archives of Pom
thus Pilates report to Emperor Tiberius
on the crucifxion OF Christ. One story
current was that the original report has
been found ana that the Pope had or
dered careful study of it. Another was
that the document discovered was not
Pilates own report, but manuscript of
A. D. 149 referring to it, while o.her frag-
mentary writing of the third and fifth
centuries touching the same matter had
come 10 light also.
The correspondent found the Vatican
authorities very reticent. Some officials
were even chary of adm ittlng that any,
thing had been discovered at all, and were
extremely apprehensive lest they might be
represented as giving color to the expec-
tation that a contemporary account of
the most solem n event in the worlds his
tory is in existence.
The subkeeper of the Vatican archives
said tonight: His Holiness is naturally
extremely cautious about permitting the
publication of any document with i'm
prints of the Holy See as to authenticity
which may afterward be reasonably con-
tested. His Holiness has been profoundly
interested in the posi- blli;y of the dis.
covery of the original document referred
10 in one dated Ammo Domini 149, but so
far the search has been fruitiess"
The first indication of the possible
existence OF this exceedingly interesting
report was obtained accidentally by an
erudite monk engaged in looking through
the archieves of the fifth century, and
gathering facts concerning the earlv
history of the papacy. He followed the
cews back TO the manuscripts of the third
century, and then again laporiously pur-
sued them until further allusion was found
in the document OF A. d. 149 There the
invest CATION is brought to a standstllI for
the present. and the Pope has given strict
injunc;ions that no translation of refer
ences In documents shall be published
until submitted for his sanction.

dischargedyesterday, and he makes some
startling shtements concerning the pres-
ent admini4ration of this institution.
He said, in speaking of Superintendent
O'Brien, thathe is a man of ungovernable
temper and thoroughly incom petent, al
ways flying INTO a passion at the least
proYocation, aid that on many occasions
he has witnessed displays of brutality on
The part o. Superintendent o. Bren incon-

knocking him down ami disa bling him so
mat he had to be CARED upstairs, after
zaich he received Det4een thirty and

Captain Hawks states that the usual
punishment inflicted on inmates for the
offense of smoking is two week, on guard
line, but that in one case a b,v named
Biddle was gwen between thirty aod fortv
strokes with the paddle for behg sus-
pected OF having secreted tobacco n one

Captain Hawks says that boy naned
McSherry was given ten strokes with he

ber being administered one day, and the
other fifty the day following over the
bruises and lacerations e to the former
beating. The boy tainted and was re.
turned to consciousness by O'Bren throw
= ing water in is face. This punishm ent
was inflicted because Ru, sell was suspected
OF having stolen some iewelry from one ol
the officers rooms, but it developed after
ward that Russell was entirely innocent.
Dougherty, another inmate, made some
joking remark about O'Brlen, which was
carried to his ears by another boy, when
Dougherty was given an III merciful beat
ing and had his head bumpeI against an
iron post.
Captain Hawks also states that bows
have been handcuffed to water pipe in a
dark room in the tower and forced to re-
main in standing position for some time.
