ed States senate in succession to Francis
Herman, his term beginning March 4, 1881.
In May of the same year, in consequence
of quarrel with President Garfield over
the distribution Of patronage in New York
state, Messrs. Conkling and Platt resign
ed from the senate, expecting to be re-
elected instead of which the places they
had vacated were given to Messrs. Lapham
and Miller
Mr. Platt held the office of commission
er of quarantine OF New York city from
1880 to 1883, when he was removed by pro-
ceedings instituted on account of his al.
legged nonresidence. He has been delegate
to all of the Republican national conven-
tions beginning with that of 1875 and in
Guiding that of last year. He has been the
recognized leader of the Republican party
organization in New York state for the
last IL or IA years, and though his title to
supremacy has frequently been attacked
he has as often demonstrated his ability to
hold IL against all comers.
Mr. Platt is the president of the United
States Express company, and at this time
he is in his sixty fourth year.

TOPICAL GEOGRAPHY.

Below are given some exercises
selected from those prepared by a
class of fifth-year pupils, as a re-
view exercise on cities and states.
Each child was asked to bring a gen.
eral description of a city and state
in the form of riddle.
These were read in turn, and indi-
viduals answered the questions.
They were examined also as Ian
guage exercise. This form of les
son can be used at intervals, and
can be made applicable in reviewing
under any topic:
1. am a very beautiful State,
and I live near gulf. I produce
fine bananas and other fruits. Fish
abound in my stream and lakes and
along their banks alligators are nu-
merous.
Now please tell what my name is.
2. lam situated ON a lake, l am

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Jan. 20.-Ex- Con-
gresham William r.. Mason was nomi-
mated for United States senator at the Re-
publican joint caucus after one Of the most
bitterly fought battles in the history of
the Republican party In Illinois. Although
he had been canvassing the state as sen.
atorial candidate for two years, Mr. Ma
sons selection was regarded by machine"
politicians as an impossibility up to with
in two hours of the time of his triumph
ant nomination, the choice being the re-
suit of the sudden withdrawal from the race
of Congressman William Lorimer, who
had held the almost solid vote of Chicago
and Cook county The contest had been so
long drawn out and the battle so fierce
that the Legislators were In mood to be
stampeded at any moment, and as the
hour for the caucus drew near and the
sudden shifting of the Cook county forces
to Mason carried the other candidates off
their feet, the tide turned toward the ex-
congressman with a rush that carried ev-
erything before it, and the nomination
was made without the most feeble show of
opposition.
The Republicans have majority Of 4s
in the Legislature on joint ballot, which
assures Mr.. Mason's election.
William E. Mason was born July 7, 1850.
in Franklinsville, N. Y, and Is the young
est of a family of IL children, of whom
were boys. In 1856 his parents moved to
Bentonport, La. After passing through the
public schools with great credit, at the age
of Is he began teaching. At the same
time he attended the college at Birming-
ham, Ia At 10 he was graduated with

Spanish Gunboa. Blown Up.

HAVANA, Jan. 19.-The gunboats Cen
tinela and Relampago left Manzanilla on
the night of JAN 10 with the object of 60
ing up the river Cauto to Fort Guamo, in
compliance with the orders of General
Bosch. At 10 O'Clock on the morning of
Jan. II both gunboats were near Mango
landing, when an explosion Of torpedo,
which had been well placed in the river,
sunk the Relampago. Those of the crew
who survived swan toward shore, but
were fred on from the banks. At this
critical moment boat was launched from
the Centinela, which rescued the men in
the water. In view Of the instructions and
the fact that the commander of the Cent?
nela and nearly all Of the crews of both
gunboats had been seriously wounded, the
expedition had to return to Manzanilla
Senior Martinez of the Relampago was se-
riously wounded in the explosion, as well
as Assistant Engineer jacob Duis, Gun
ner Francisco Martinez and Seamen vi
tente Gener, Juan Cambello and Felix
Diaz, while Paymaster Antero, Chief on
Ger Mosquero, Engineer Pazadela and also
the pilot and four others were slightly
wounded. Six of the officers and crew
were killed outright, and all Of the rest re-
ceived wounds of more or less severity. On
the gunboat Centinela the commander,
Senior Puerta, was seriously wounded,
while Of the crew one was killed, and Cor
poral Manuel Cabanas, Pilot Duran, AS
sistant Engineer Martinez and six of the
crew were wounded

Few men have been more In the public
eye the last 10 yeurs than Thomas G. Platt.
His emergence into national prominence
in 1881 was under conditions so unusual
that his earlier public career and his prom
inence as banker and merchant have
been generally forgotten.
Unable, on account Of bad health, to
pursue his college course beyond the sopho-
more year at Yale, Mr.. Platt took up
business career, which led the way to the
presidency of national bank at Tioga, N.
Y, and to successful venture in the
lumber trade in Michigan.

elected a representative in congress and

Katherine Clemmons is the stage name
adopted by Viola Dayan, who as a girl ten
or dozen years ago made her debut in a
theater in San Francisco. She was then
very prepossessing and is an attractive
woman now. Miss Dayan (or Clemmons)
was living in Chicago in 1898 while viii
liam f. Cody buffalo Bill was exhibit
ing his wild west show on grounds ad-
joining the Columbian exposition. Cody
decided that Miss Clemmons could and
should return to the stage, and he star
red' her. The vehicle selected was ro-
mantle drama in blank verse, entitled ga
Lady of Venice"
AS an "angel' Cody was very liberal
Miss Clemmons was surrounded by an ex-
cellent company of players, her costumes
were elaborate and beautiful, the scenic
equipment was gorgeous and the stage
furnishings all that could be desired. Miss
Clemons was literally svertised, but the
play would not draw, and the tour ended
In flasco followed by several lawsuits
Mr.. Cody retired from the expensive ven
ture, and Miss Clemmons has not since
been seen upon the stage
The reported engagement has been a
matter of gossip in theatrical circles for
months. A few weeks ago, on Miss Glenn
mons return from Europe, Mr.. Gould met
her at the dock in New York, and they
drove away together.
