The Kentucky senatorial situation Is
proving more puzzling to Mr.. Hanna than
he probably thought it would when he took
hold of il. II is said he has advised Gov.
Bradley that the chances are against the
seating of an appointee. and that the re-
publican steering committee of the Senate
thinks an extra session had better be held.
The difficulty about an extra session is
that Gov. Bradley could not depend upon
1t to elect a republican, and he has so in
formed Mr.. Hanna and the republican
steering committee. At the same time.
the report is. he told them he would be
guided by their wisdom. and would call an
extra session If they thought well to do
so after going over the situation again.

Baltimore the best epicures will not eat

Hostile to Labor.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-The United
Labor League passed resolution
authorizing the officers of the league
to send protest to President McKin-
ley against the appointment of ex
Chief Justice Paxson as a member of
the Interstate commerce commission.
The. grounds for the protest grew
out of an opinion rendered by Mr..
Paxson when he was chief justice of
the supreme court of this state, in re-
lation to the Homestead strike. The
protest will state that Mr.. Parsons
appointment will be an insult, not
alone to the organized labor interest,
but to every workingman in the Unit
ed States.
The discussion over the protest was
spirited, and before the motion was
agreed to, personalities were exchaug-
ed with so much liberality that the
presiding officer refused to allow sew
eral members to speak.

rotary of the the treasury, in present
ing the budget to the reichstag, was
devoted to sugar. He said the role
America played in the sugar question
rcsembled that of pike in a carp

cessity for the carp to combine forces
against the common enemy The abo-
lition of the sugar bounty, he declared
only to be gain to Germany, and he
was glad to inform the house that the
latest negotiations opened in this d.
rection proved more successful issue.

Bryan In Mexico.

City of Mexico, Dec. 13-W. ]. Bryan
and party of friends, including ex-
Governor Crittenden of Missouri, are
visiting Mexico, where Mr.. Bryan is
studying the silver question.
At various state capitals the govern
ors have personally greeted the Demo-
cratic leader, and he has been accorded
exceptional facilities for seeing every
thing.
He was received here by member of
the presidents staff, aud taken to his
hotel in the presidents carriage.
Bryan is regarded as a national
guest. Not since Grant and Seward
visited Mexico have such unusual hon
ors been paid any American.
There is no doubt Mr.. Bryan's posi-
ton on the silver question has much
to do with the warm sentiment of
friendship exhibited to him.

die.

Washington, Dec. 13.-That the ways
and means committee, and not the
banking and currency committee, will
control currency legislation in the
house of representatives continues to
excite much feeling among represen-
tatives. Little doubt is felt that Sec
rotary Gage will so divide his bill as
to cover the various currency ques-
tions that Mr.. Dingley's committee will
get control of them. Members of the
banking committee say the matter will
be carried to the floor of the house if
necessary, and the issue of the com
mittee authority will be raised which
will defeat any currency bills propos-
ed by the ways and means committee.

idaho sheriff Wants Fees.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 1.-THE sheriff of
Kootenai county, George H. Pease, has
refused to turn over to Warden Van
Dorm of the Idaho penitentiary two
prisoners, Antoine and Jack Voll, SEN
fenced to thirty years each for rob-
berry. Sheriff Pease claims the right
to conduct prisoners to prison himself,
thereby securing a large fee. He
claims the law requiring the warden
to conduct prisoners to the pen was il
legally passed by the last legislature,
according TO the supreme courts re-
cent decision in the fee law case and
denies the right of the warden to take
the men.
An agreement has been reache d
whereby the sheriff will bring the
prisoners down, the warden coming
with them. The sheriff will then put
in his bill and a legal fight will ensue.

MOTHER M'KINLEY DEAD.
Passed Quietly Away Surrounded by all the
Family.

Canton, Ohio, Dec. 12.-Mrs. Nancy
Allison Mckinley passed from life at a
few minutes past o'clock this Sun
day. morning, with all her children
and other immediate relatives at her
bedside. She did not suffer any in her
last hours, but gradually passed from
the deep, palsied sleep in which she
has rested almost constantly for the
past ten days, into the sleep of death.
The end was most beautiful in its
quiet peacefulness. She seemed to
sleep so sou div that it was difficult to
tell whether she had yet breathed her
last. This condition continued for
half an hour. There was no struggle.
She seemed to sleep her life away.
The president and all of the familw
were by her side. There were no rec
ognitions, however. Her last con-
seriousness was hours before her final
taking away.
On December she suffered paraly-
tic stroke, and was cons cious at short
intervals only since. President Nc
Kinley, who was in Washington at
the time, was summoned to her bed
side. He returned to Washington to
open congress, and then Immediately
came to the sick chamber again. She
recognized him then, and he spoke
few comforting words to her ere she
lapsed into Inconsistencies.
She had watched with a mothers
pride her. son rise from county prose-
cutting attorney to the presidency; and
seemed less restless when he was
present.
In 1909, near the present city of Lis
bon, Nancy Allison was born. Her
girlhood was passed on the farm, and
in 1927 she married William Mckinley; |
a young iron manufacturer. The cou
pie lived first at Fairfield, and after
ward at Niles and Poland before NOV
ing to Canton. Nine children were
born to them, five Of whom proceeded
her to the unknown realms.
William Mckinley, ST., died in No
vember, 1892, at the age of IS years.

England and Sugar Bountie..

London, Dec. 13.--The Times, re
ferring to rumors that the British gov
eminent contemplates imposing ccun-
tervailing duties on bounty-fed sugar,
asserts that the government has de-
cided nothing except to inquire as to
what would be the effect of such du-
ties, because it is anticipated that an
European conference may be held ere
long to discuss the possibility of sbol-
ishing The bounty system.

Kansas Town without Water.

Fort Scott, Kan, Dec. 14.-Not a
drop of water has been served to the
consumers of this city since Mayor
Hesser took charge of the waterworks
Saturday evening Employees of the
water company refuse to work for the
city, and no engineer can be found
who can operate the pumps. The city
authorities accuse the company's en-
gineer OF having spiked the pumps.
The superintendent of the works has
served notice on the city that the
pumping station is in danger because
Of the incompetency of the men who
are attempting TO run il. Hotels, fac
tories and consumers generally are
compelled TO obtain water from pri-
vate sources, which are insufficient to
supply the needs.
The trouble grows out of the city
forcing the water company to sell its
plant.

Refu.e to wear Prison esrb.

Schenectady, n. y, Dec. 14.-Orders
were recently issued that the entire
national guard of New York should be
supplied with uniforms made in the
state prison.
The members of the thirty-fve sep
arate companies have announced that
they will never consent to wear prison
uniforms. They say they will disband
rather than wear prison made uni
forms. 1t is probable the matter will
be settled by the men paying for their
own uniforms.

will adjourn for the holiday recess

promises 10 be made memorable by the
formal inauguration OF the war against
The civil service law The legislative
executive and judicial appropriation

lions for the civil service commission,

How long the debate will last it is inn

only item in the bill which will at
tract much OF contest, Chairman Can
non hopes and believes the bill can be
passed before Saturday.
SENATE FORECAST.
The work OF the senate, so far as IL
has been mapped out for the week,
includes the consideration OF the inn
migration bill, which stands on the
the probable debate OF the census bill,
and the pronoupcing OF eulogies upon
the late Representative Holman of In
diana.
The general opinion among friends
Of the measure is that there will be no
very strenuous opposition to the inn
migration BILL and that 1t may be
passed after brief debate. When a
similar bill was before the senate last
session it had its principal opponent in
Senator Gibson Of Maryland, and as
he has retired from the senate. the |
friends OF the bill are hopeful that no
one will be found who will feel called
upon TO champion the opposition.
They remember, however, that when
IL was necessary in order to have the
bill become law to pass IL over the
presidents veto, the two-thirds' vote
requisite for that purpose could not be
secured. There appears to be no
reason TO doubt that when the vote
shall be reached that the bill will
pass.
BY special arrangement between
Senators Carter and Lodge, in charge
respectively of the two bills, the inn
bill will be temporarily dis
placed on Tuesday, in order TO give
Mr. Carter an opportunity to call up
the bill providing for the next census.
The senate leaders express them
selves "a agreeable to the house pro-
gram to adjournment for the holidays
on Saturday. The eulogies upon the
late Representative Holman will be
delivered on Friday.

BELIEVES DURRANT INNOCENT
Judge Merriam of Arkansas Makes Pub
lie Statement.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 10.-Judge
E. M. Merriam of this city who once
defended Joseph f. Blanther when
Rlanther uuder the name of Forbes,
was charged with crime in this city,
publicly reiterates his belief that
Blanther and not Theodore Durrant
murdered Blanch Lamont and Minnie
Williams.
He declares that the execution of
Durrant will be a judicial murder.
He insists that there can be no ques-
ton but that the confession produced
in Texas is in the handwriting of
Blanther, and he declares that this
confession must be accepted as true,
as against the merely circumstantial
evidence which fixes the crime on Dur
rant.
The fact that Blanther was seen in
Atlanta, Ca, between April IL AZ 1
April 10, 1895, Merriam puts aside. He
argues that Blantber could have left
Atlanta on April and been in San
Francisco in time to murder the two
girls on the night of April ~, or posi-
bly, the night before and returned at
once to Atlanta.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
IL VIII be Steadily Pressed Until the
Measure Is Passed.

measure is Iasseus
Washington, Dec. 13.-The friends
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty
have definitely decided to consider the
question in executive session Of the
senate A few of those who support
Hawaii in this matter were at first in
/ clined to believe that unless it became
evident that the two-thirds necessary
to secure the ratification of the treaty
was assured from the beginning, it.
would be waste of time to take the
matter up at all.
1t is now stated on behalf Of the an
nexationists that to abandon the treaty
at the present time would create the
impression that they had surrendered
the fight entirely.
There IS also another reason for de-
string the consideration of the treaty
behind closed doors which actuates the
committee on foreign relations. This
is the fact that Japan's attitude to-
ward annexation is such as to involve
some delicate questions, which the
members of this committee think it.
not advisable to act before the public
in the way that they might be aired if
the matter should be taken up for de-
bate in the open senate.
Their plan, however, contemplates a
full debate of the question on the
treaty in executive session and sub
sequent transfer of the matter, if nee
essary, on a resolution similar to that
b. which Texas was annexed, and the
pressing of this resolution to speedy
vote.
The resolution will require only .
majority of votes, but to be Elective it
will be necessary that it sha 7 also pass
the house, where delay is feared.

Revolving Crime in Missouri by Negro.

Hannibal, Mo-, Dec, 13.-Bill Under
wood, a negro recently released from
the penitentiary, called at the home
of Christian Pabst, a farmer living
four miles southwest of here, and de-
manded money, Pabst refused, and
Underwood drew a revolver and made
him lay down on the floor. He then
pressed the revolver against Mrs.
Pabst's temple and commanded her to
bind her husbands arms and feet with
Irvine. The poor woman obeyed. The
brute then took her into another room
and assaulted her.
In the morning she managed to elude
him and ran to the house of her
brother-in-law, Louis Pabst, a mile
distant, Louis returned with a shot
gun. Underwood met aRd disarmed
him and made him walk tnu the room
where his brother Christi q still lay
bound. Louis suddenly made bound
for Underwood and, after scuffie, Sc
cured the gun and moment later the
riddled corpse of the negro was
stretched on the floor. Mrs. Pabst may

Starving Miners Leaving Dawson.

Victoria, b. c., Dec. 1.-the steam
err Topeka, from Tail brings the news
that more than 1000 ill-provisioned
men stampeded from Dawson during
the latter part of October and impelled
by the haunting fear of famine, are
now madly forcing their way across
the mountains. AUX, the Indian mail
carrier brings the report, and says the
vanguard will begin to arrive in ten
days. AUX declares that fully 25 per
cent of the men will never survive the
trip. The stampede started, it APP
pears, from the fact that the river
steamers Bella and Weare, did not land
more than 100 tons Of provisions on
their last trip, having been held up at
Circle City.
Auk's story is discredited by well
informed men, who at least claim that
it is so greatly exaggerated as to be
practically untrue.

woman and Boy Sent to the Pen.

Waverly, Ia, Dec. 14.-Judge Clyde
today sentenced Delilah Falls and Will
Kern, aged 20 and II, respectively, to
twenty and twelve years in the peni-
tertiary. Kern and the Falls girl were
lovers. to which the father of the boy
objected. The Falls girl planned to
murder the father, persuading the son
TO assist her. August 20 she wrote
the elder Kern a note to meet her in
the woods, about five miles from Cedar
Falls, and when he arrived at the ap-
pointed place she shot him three times,
and with the help of Kerns son covered
the body with brush and burned it up.
Young Kern was arrested for the MUIR
der and short time ago confessed his
part, declaring the Falls girl committed
the deed. After she was arrested she
confessed her guilt.
She claimed the elder Kern ruined
her when she was but 10. and had
since been the cause of breaking off
two engagements when she was to be
happily married, by circulating stories
about her. She expressed no remorse for
the deed, saying she felt relieved after
the deed was done, and was perfectly
