HANNA'S CHANCES

By Naming Him as SenatOr--Gen-
eral GrOSvenOr Refuses

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 27.-Ever since
the legislative reunion and banquet at
Columbus, there has been growing
feeling Ill well informed political cir
cles that the naming of Mr.. Hanna as
the successor of Senator John Sher-
man, by Governor Bushnell, is well
nigh a certainty. This opinion is not
alone confined to Mr.. Hanna's friends
but is not even admitted by those who
have opposed him as candidate for
the senate.
Governor Bushnell.' said a poll
tician of national reputation, has ev-
erything to gain if he names MIR.
Hanna and nothing to lose. On the
other hand, in the face of the general
sentiment in favor of the latter, should
he select some other man for the place,
it would be political suicide"
At 3 o'clock Mr.. Hanna left for Can.
ton to consult with the president-elect
on numerous matters Of Importance.

bombay:
This terrible bubonic plague IS
working fearful havoc i'll nearly all

Byculai, there are hundreds waiting
fer an opportunity to leave by the
Great India Peninsula trains. The peO-
pie are dazed and terrified.
In the Hindoo burying ground down
on Queens road, DIR. Jeddo, the assist
ant coroner says that the papers give
not fractional part of the facts As to
the plague; that in one burying ground
the day before there had been 130 bod
les brought, and that they could not
dispose of them fast enough. In the
Mohammedan burying grounds they
are laying four and five bodies i'll a
grave. And yet, with all this about US,
