eusHNELL AeAINsT HANNA.
1t Is Said That Ohio's Governor WIN Not
Appoint him senator.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Jan. 1S.-A close rela-
tive of Governor Bushnell whose name
cannot be used for obvious reasons, makes
the statement, the authority of which there
can be no doubt, that Governor Bushnell
in so many words stated TO him that he
would not appoint Marcus A. Hanna to
the vacancy in the United States senate.
The governor and the relative mentioned
had quite "A talk on the subject, and the
governor gave him TO understand that
Hanna s name could not be considered for
the place tail The relative further along
stated TO a local newspaper man that there
was no doubt whatever Of Governor Bush
nell's desire to go to the senate himself
He added that he was very ambitious po-
litically, and the present situation afford
ed him an opportunity to crafty a long
cherished wish to get into the senate.
In connection with the above "a number
of Governor Bushncl's friends are openly
requesting him TO resign as governor, and
then let Lieutenant Governor Jones, who
would be his successor. appoint him sena-
tor. Jones would in that event, IL is ar
gued, be the Republican candidate for gov

strengthen the above statement if strength
is needed, all newspaper men who have
tried to interview Governor Bushnell about
Hanna's candidacy for United States SEN
atOr know that he has always cOurteously
declined to talk about it. In view Of this
fact IL is argued that if there was no OBJ

RIOT in GEORGIA.
sanguirary Conflict Growing Out of a
Municipal Election.

AAIERIcUs, Ca, Jan. 1S.-For over "a
hours the village of Byron in Houston
county has been in a state OF riot, in which
four men, Messrs. c. c. Richardson, G.
L. Bateman. c. c. Bateman and r. II.
Baskies, were shot and others held in ter
ror.
Tho trouble grew out OF an election for
municipal offices held two weeks ago, which
resulted in a tie, the town dividing into
two bitter factions charges Of fraud being
freely interchanged between the leaders. A
second election was called to decide the
contest, in which every voter was brought
up to the polls, not a change taking place
in the political alignments thus causing
fear of second tie which actually was
the result.
The leaders of the factions We're Charles
L. Bateman and c. c. Richardson. I'm
fortunately they approached the polls at
the same moment, when a personal col
lision took place, in which shooting was be-
gun. Their followers made a rush home
for arms. and in q few moments the viii
lage street presented a warlike scene. The
telegraph operator, who was lady, aban-
doned her key in terror, and thus for
hours the outside world was cut of from
communication The arrival of the sheriff
restored comparative peace, but at 8 p m.
the Uouble was renewed, and at the ring
ing of the school bell the entire population
was once more in the street The sheriff
succeeded in establishing his authority,
but the feud now started, especially since
the election has TO be held over again, is
looked upon as one TO result in further

THE SEAL QUESTION.
The Result OF British Commissioners Ham.
iIton's Investiratian In AIaslsa.

litons inNc@ifEAtlNn IN Aiu,Aa.
LONDON, Jan. siS.-Mr Gerald Barrett
Hamilton, one of the British commission
ers appointed Co Investigate the conditions
of seal life in Boring sen, has recently re-
turned tc London on the conclusion of his
mission. Leaving London last summer
with Professor Darcy Thompson, Mr..
Hamilton proceeded via New York and
San Francisco to the north OF Japan.
Thence he was conveyed on bead II. NJ. ;.
spartan to Robin island near Saghalien,
where there is small rookery Professor
Thompson went independently TO the Pry-
bilofl group. The Investigation was made
in consequence of the statement that the
seal herd was being wiped out By pelagio
scaling
After spending six weeks on the Com
mander islands and visiting Robin island
Mr.. Hamilton Joined Professor Thompson
on the Pryhiloifs There the commission
ers remained until the end of October
The Canadian and United States com
missioners, Messrs McCoun and Clarke,
were also on the prybiloffs at the time
The British commissioners say they re-
ceived most friendly treatment from the
Americans who behaved in very fair
way Owing TO the exceptional powers
given TO the American commissioners by
their government, they were able to DO
more than had been previously accomplish
ed. Among other things a census of every
seal on the island was taken. This showed
that there were 1913, 900 females on the
prybiloils and proved that the American
estimates of previous years were much be-
low the mark.
Another important piece OF work was
the counting of dead pups The Americans
contendcd that owing to the killing at sea
of breeding females vast numbers of pups
were left to staryo on the islands. They
said as many as 30, 600 perished In this
way. IL was, therefore, highly important
/ to know actually how many dead pups
there were There were a large number Of
/ them-about il,OOO-that il was proved
had been killed by ovcrcrowding before
the commencement of pelagic sealing
About no. 600 had died later in the season.
The results of the Investigations on the
spot have tended to prove TO the minds Of
the five commissioners that, although 10
has been said that the seal industry would
collapse within two years, there is no fear
of such an early extinction of the fur seal.
No doubt is entertained, that now the ques-
ton has been approached i'm such an ami
cable way, some measures for preserving
the seal will be adopted. The large dc
crease in this years catch of seals is prob
ably due in part to the bad weather preya-
lent during the early part of August. II
does not necessarily indicate a decrease In
the numberof seals On this point opinion
Is divided, and Canadians say that the seals
on the Prybiloils have increased in mum
ber while the Americans assert that they
have decreased.
The British commissioners are now pre-
pairing their reports, ard they viii prob
ably be i'm the hands OF the foreign oflic,
in the spring In all probability "a fresl
commission viii be sent this year i'm order
to report any change as compared Will

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The friends of
the Nicaragua canal bill expect IL to be
taken up carly in the week, aud that il
will retain its place at the head Of the cal
endar until disposed of. The bill viii lead
to considerable debate before voted on, but
its advocates are very hopeful of its PAS
sage. senator Morgan will have charge of
the measure in the senate and will try 10
zach a vote before the end OF the week.
His success in that undertaking will de-
pend upon whether there are many sena-
tors who desire TO be heard on the bill. 20
far very few have Indicated an intention to
speak
senator Perkins win make an effort, II
opportunity offers, to get up the bin fer "a

Gus committees bill for an international
monetary conference and vtll ask to hsive

committee SO far Senator Pettigrev is
the only member OF the senate who has
announced an intention to oppose the bill
by vote, though it is expected that others,
while giving it no effective opposition,
will take the position that nothing can be
accomplished by international action. Mr..
Pettigrew win make a speech against the
BILL taking the position that TO seek an
international agreement amounts TO MAXI
ing this country a suppliant of England,
which is he says, the chief beneficiary of
the present system.
The legislative executive and judicial
and the Military academy appropriation
bills will be reported from the committee

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1s.-It Is asserted
that an arrangement has just been com
pleted between the gold standard Repub-
lican senator's and three gold standard
Democratic senators by which the incom-
ing administration will be given the sup
port of working majority i'm the senate
The Republicans have been schoming
for long time 60 effect such a combina-
ton for the purpose of defeating the alleged
plans of the silver senators to combine
with the Democratic members 90 prevent
tariff legislation. The Republicans have
seen that even with gold standard senator's
from North Carolina and Kentucky they
would have but A votes, two short of q
majority.
Chairman Hanna has had q skillml and
diplomatic representative I'm this city for
weeks, all of whose energies have been de
voted to the plan which has just been sue
ccssfully carried out
As part OF the agreement it was deter
mined to have the Dupont case reopencd,
not with the expectation dhar anything Will
be done now, but that the Delaware CON
tcstant may be seated during the extra
session. The three Democratic senators, it
is said, have pledged themselves 90 vote
for Dupont They also promise TO support
all reasonable legislation proposed by the
Republicans. The names of these senators
are not made public for the reason that
they would Immediately be subjected TO
reproach from their associates and protests
from ther constituents
The gold standard Republicans arc it is
asserted, certain of having as votes al
! least, not counting Dupont or Prtchard of
North Carolina, when the work of the ex-
/ ira session is taken mp. This viii enable
them to put through their tariff bill with
out free silver rider and to transact such

sary to redeem the pledges made in the Sc.

1t is now known. OF course, what pat
