ADOPTED WITH A ROAR

in which the galleries and crowds
which thronged the corridors and
Surged against the doors, Joined with
zest. Several of the defeated candi-
dates addressed the caucus and Mr..
Mason made a brief and happy speech
of acceptance.
William E. Mason was born July T.
1850, in Franklinsville, N. Y, and is
the youngest of a family of fourteen
children. nine of whom were boys. In
1886 his parents moved to Bentonport,
10. After passing through the public
school with great credit, at the age of
hfteen he began teaching. AT the same
time he attended the college at Birm-
1ngham, 10. AT nineteen he was grad
uated with honOrs and went to Des
Moines, where he became a teacher in
the high school. He continued in this
position until he was twenty-one, de-
voting his spare time to the study of
law and shorthand. He then went into
the law office of Thomas Withrow, and
when, a year later, Mr. Withrow was
made general solicitor of the G.. r. I.
& P, railroad Mr.. Mason came with
him to Chicago as his clerk.
Having perfected himself in short
hand Mr.. Mason became a court re-
porter. Subsequently he formed a law
partnership with NJ. r. NJ, now Judge
Wallace. After he was associated in
practice with Lawrence Ennis. In
1873 Mr.. Mason married Edith M.
White, Of Des Moines. Seven of their
nine children are living.
Mr.. Mason has been twice a member
of the Illinois house of representatives
and once was in the state senate. He
was also member Of the Fiftieth and
Fifty-first congress. Mr.. Mason en-
joys the distinction Of being the cham
pion campaigner Of Illinois, having
during the past eight years, addressed
more people in this state than any other
one man during that time.
One ballot for senator was taken
by the houses of the legislature in
Joint session this afternoon. Many
visitors were present to hear the nom
mating speeches. The first was by
Representative O'Donnell, Of Bloom
ington. He placed in nomination for
United States senator in behalf of the
Democratic members, ex-Gov. John P.
Altgeld. O'DOnnell was frequently in
terrupted by applause, but the con-
Guiding sentence of his speech brought
forth a cheer from both sides Of the
house and the gallery as we'll. He had
been reiterating the virtues Of the ex-
governor and in conclusion said: eff
the motives Of men be known in
heaven, then the angels speak his nama
in sweetest accents" Representative
Blood, Populist, seconded the nomina-
ton Of Altgeld.
The Republicans refrained from
speech making and also refrained from
voting, excepting that one vote was
cast for each of the Republican can
didates Gov. Altgeld received the full
Democratic vote. No quorum having
voted, each house adjourned until to-
morrow.

SHERMAN MISQUOTED.
His Views Regarding Cuba Have Not
Changed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., jan 19-Sen--
ator Sherman, as he passed through
Pittsburg Friday on his way to Wash
1ngton, after accepting the premiership
Of the next administration, was the
victim OF a newspaper correspondent
who did not comprehend the purport
of the replies made by the senator to
several questions that were asked him.
dispatch has been published, in which
the Ohio senator is quoted as saying:
Il think the United States govern
ment should not interfere with the Gu
ban war, either to- aid in it's settlement
or do anything which would make a
peaceful government Of the island a
charge on this country"
Those in this city familiar with the
position Mr.. Sherman has taken on
this subject in his public speeches. and
knowing that he had just announced
authoritatively his acceptance of the
headship of the diplomatic branch Of
the government, could not understand
how such a shrewd politician and dip
lomat as Mr.. Sherman could make
g. statement that could be construed as
the outlining of a foreign policy by the
incoming administration. Mr.. Sherman
himself said tonight that he was mis-
understood.
'I hardly think the matter is worth
denying" said Senator Sherman, but
I will say that my replies to several
questions put to me while in Pittsburg
were not comprehended. could not
have made the statement attributed to
me and did not. l was simply misun-
derstood. 1 expressed no opinion as
to what this government ought to do,
and any statement that can be con-
strued as indicative of any government
tai policy or that might be accepted
as the views of the incoming admins
tration is inaccurate. The statement
attributed to me that I understood
that Prime Minister CanovaS had out
lined a plan of governmental reform
which would give to Cuba practical
autonomy and would, hope, settle the
question, is one to which I do not take
exceptions. I understand that such q.
plan Is being worked out, and If it gives
to Cuba such autonomy as the Cana
dams enjoy, the base for Cuba's griev-
ance will, in great measure, be re-
moved"
When the question was put to the
senator direct, asking him If he would
say anything on the Cuban question,
he declined with the reply: That is a
matter on which I do not care to talk.
/ have discussed the subject on the
floor Of the senate and my position is
well known"

II. c. Hansbrough was today chosen to
succeed himself as United States sem

not break along the. Republican line.
and the caucus, held by the RepubIi-

been most noticeable feature of the
present senatorial contest The result

matter had been practically dismissed
from the public mind; Senator Hans
brough Will leave Thursday morning

were some black sheep in the fusion
caucus, who had pledged themselves
to support a Republican for senator, if
it should happen that the name of T.
