THE NEXT SECRETARY OF STATE
TO CONFER WITH THE PRES
IDENT- ELECT.
.HANNA'S LONGING 70 Be GRAT|HED
Will Be Appointed Senator by Governor
Bushnell-Tom Plat Demonstrates
That He Is Still Boss of New
York Republicans.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator John
Sherman, who has accepted the position
of secretary of state in Mr.. McIlinley's
cabinet, left tonight for Canton to have
n conference with the president-elect. 1t
has been known for several days past
that Mr.. Sherman intended to go to Can
ton, but the date of his departure was
not definitely fixed. He will reach Can
ton tomorrow. Senator Sherman's de-
parture has been delayed on account of
the extradition treaties in the senate, of
which he had charge. 1t is understood
that during Senator Sherman's visit to
Ohio it will be definitely determined when
his resignation will take effect. so there
will be no delay in the appointment of
his successor. His resignation will be
rendered to Governor Bushnell, who will,
as now agreed upon, name Mr.. Hanna
to serve until the meeting of the legis-
lature.

TIRING OF EACH OTHER.
Princess de Chimay and Her Gypsy
Lover Quarrel.

New York, Jan. IA copyrighted ca
blegram from London to the Evening
World says:
The World correspondent sent to Buda-
Pesth writes that it is his Judgment, after
nearly fortnight of daily interviews,
luncheons and dinners with the Prin-
cess de Chimay and her gypsy lover, that
both are already very tired of their
elopemcnt But the Gypsy wants to
make as much money out of it as posi-
BILE before the inevitable parting. The
correspondent was with them last Satur-
day before returning to his post in Ber-
lin, and reports that the pair quarreled
constantly.
The manager of the Folies Bergeres
of Paris and the manager of the Winter
Garden at Berlin writes:
Have arrived here and have had in
terviews with the princess" to whom
they laid some propositions relating to
They dined with the princess, but she
declined their offers for the present.
Her brother, Ebson Ward, who has
been staying in Cannes, is expected here.
The princess telegraphed for him.
1.-The next few days might bring mat
tiers to crisis. The princess says that
if she could only find somebody else who
would run away with her she would like
to do so Immediately, and probably would
choose Japan as her next hunting ground.
However, nothing the princess says
can be depended on, for she changes her
mind every moment. She finds pleasure
in telling all kinds of stories to every one
who goes to see her.
"If," the correspondent adds, "Prin-
cess Chimay had been well advised he
would have asked to have his wife exam
ined by experts. There is no doubt that
if this had been done she would have
been placed in an asylum"

FIRE AT TYLER.

Tyler, Tex, Jan. 15.-(SpeciaL)-A very
destructive fire occurred here this morn
ing at $3.50, in which three brick buildings
and contents were almost completely de-
stroyed. The fire originated in the Carl
ton & Shockey printing establishment
and rapidly spread to the other buildings.
The buildings were owned by Thos. j..
Wiley and were insured for $2500 in the
Scottish Union and $500 in the North
British and Mercantile: also rent insur-
ance for $14O0 in the Pennsylvania.
The buildings were. occupied. on the
lower floor by I. H. Crutcher, Jr., as a
feed store, loss by fire and water $500,
partly covered by insurance; T.. III. Har-
din, grocer, badly damaged by fire and
water; Foman, the tailor, badly dam
aged by water.
One of the most complete law libraries
in East Texas, belonging to Whitaker
& Bonner, together with their office fur
niture, is a complete loss, with only
$4,000 insurance. At this writing it is
impossible to give anything like an &C
curate estimate of the amount of the diff
ferent losses.

IMMIGRATION BILL.

Washington, Jan. IA conference on
the immigration bill. which has passed
the senate and the house Indifferent
forms, was held by the representatives of
the two houses today. On account of the
absence of Senator Lodge, chairman of
the senate conferees. no conclusion was
reached, but it was apparent that there
would be no difficulty in coming to an
agreement Some of the house members
manifested Il disposition to hold out for
the part of the bill as it passed the house
which was known as the "Corliss amend
ment' and which made it unlawful to
employ aliens in any form of labor in
this country, but the indications from
todays meeting are that this feature of
the bill will be abandoned. Senator
Chandler suggested substitutes for those
sections of the house bill less stringent in
character, but they were apparently quite
determined in their opposition to the
Corliss provisions.
At the close of the conference one of
its members predicted that the bill as it
would be reported, would be merely a
bill providing an educational qualification
for the admission of immigrants.

LAYING FOR THE LOUD BILL.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Chand-
Ter today gave notice of several amend
ments he proposed to offer to the Loud
bill, regulating second class mail matter.
One of these strikes out in the second
section of the bill the provision excluding
sample copies from the / cent a pound
rate and specifically includes samples to
the number of ten when sent to actual
subscribers. The amendment also strikes
out of the same section the provision re-
lating to news agents. Another amend
ment strikes out the restrictions against
the return of unsold periodicals by news
agents and provides for a rate of 8 cents
pound on Sunday newspapers. Semi
monthly, monthly and quarterly pubica-
tons are put on footing with weeklies,
in being given the l cent a pound rate

FAIRCHILD & HOBSON's LETTER.

Especial to Austin Cotton EXchange)
New Orleans. Jan. 14.-Liverpool was
very disappointing to the bulls this morn
ing. that market recording decline of
2 IL points about the opening. Gables
from that market stated the decline was
caused by an expected bearish circular
by Mr.. Neill the gist of which was
known to his favored few. The report
of this information was without effect in
our market, as such a report was ex-
pected. Trading in the morning hours
was very light, but was later increased
on the posting of the receipts of the ex-
ports for the day. Total port receipts
were 10000 bales with 117.530 bales
thus far for the week, while exports
were 1911 90 bales. thus reducing the eX-
cess of stock at ports to $1,000 bales
over last year. The market was also as
sisted by report from the Illinois Cen
trail and Mississippi Valley roads esti-
mating the movement from siXty-three
of their most important towns as 10 per

SUFFERING FROM A WOUND.
Capt. McGiffn. Who Commanded Chi
nese Gunboat, Acts Queerly.

New York. Jan. 14.-Capt. Philo Nc
Gffin, formerly of the United States
navy, and who commanded the Chinese
battleship Cheng Yeng at the naval bat
tie of the Yalu on September II, 1894,
is at the post graduate hospital awaiting
a surgical operation. 1t is currently re-
ported that his mind is unhinged, but that
surgical operation to remove Il small
fragment of n Japanese shell that presses
on his brain will restore his faculties.
The physicians at the hospital deny that
Capt. McGiffin is insane or even serious
ly ill., At the boarding house of Mrs.
Weston, on Twenty-third street, where
Capt. McGiffin went to live three months
ago, he displayed eccentricity. but this
attracted no attention until two weeks
ago, when he got into the habit of walk
ing the floor of his room with heavy
tread far into the night. He was work
ing on an exhaustive review of the whole
Chinese-Japanese war and insomnia
added itself to the worry his wounds
gave him. He got very angry when his
landlady suggested calling physician
Next day the captain, seeing that his
illness had been noticed, began to order
patent medicines for himself. He rang
for messenger boy about once an hour
and each one was dispatched for differ
ent kind of medicine. For the rest of
the week Capt. McGiffen dosed himself
with drugs of many kinds. He would
confine himself to one bottle for two or
three hours and. obtaining no relief,
would switch to another. In this way
he sampled dozens of mixtures.
Last Saturday Mrs. Weston asked him
if he was better. Drawing her inside
his room the captain whispered in her
ear that he was tormented with crawl
ing, writing worms under his skin and in
order to get them out he had been COM
PEELED to cut numerous gashes in his body
He showed her where he had cut off the
feshy bulb on the end of his finger to
let out what he declared was a Chinese
grub. The landlady sent to Washington
Pa. for Capt. McGiffens brother, who
persuaded him to go to the hospital.

THE FELLOW SERVANT BILL.
An Important Administration Measure
Introduced Yesterday.

Yesterday, in compliance with the rec
concentrations of the governor, Senator
Perry J. Lewis of BeXar introduced SEN
ate bill No. /, which will, in future, be
known as the 'fellow servants" bill. 1t
is bill to prohibit contracts between
employer and employee based upon the
contingency of the injury or death of the
employe limiting the liability of the EN-
ployer for damages. 1t is an admins
tration measure and will doubtless have
a fine round of oratory sprung on it as it
hobs up it's head in either end of the
state capitol.
The bill provides. First, that every
person, receiver or corporation controlling
a railroad or street railway, the line of
which shall be situated in whole or in
part in this state. shall be liable for all
damages sustained by any servant or en-
ploye of such person. receiver or corpora
ton. by reason of the negligence of any
other servant or emplOye of such person,
receiver or corporation, and the fact that
such servant or employees were fellow
servants with each other shall not impair
or destroy such liability.
"Sec. g No contract made between the
employer and employee based upon the
contingency of death or injury of the
cmploye and limiting the liability of the
employer under this act, or fixing dam
ages to be recovered shall be valid or
binding.
"Sec. 3. Nothing in this act shall be
held to impair or diminish the defense of
contributory negligence when the injury
of the servant or employe is caused prox-
imately by his own contributory negli-
gence. -,
Sec. 4. Emergency clause)"

PLATTs POWERFUL PULL.

Albany, n. Y, Jan. 14.-Thomas c..
Plat, 142; Jos. H. Cboate, Z; absent, 2,
was the result of the republican caucus
for United States senator tonight.
Few men have been more in the eye of
the public in the last fifteen years than
Thomas Collier Platt. His entrance into
national prominence in 1881 was under
conditions so unusual that his earlier pub
lie career and his prominence as a banker
and a merchant have been nearly forgot
ten. In 1872, when 80 years of age, he
was elected a representative to congress
and again 1874. He was elected to the
United States senate in succession to
Francis Herman, his term beginning
March 4, 1881. In January of the same
year, in consequence of a quarrel with
President Garfield over the distribution
of patronage in New York state, Sena-
tors Conklm and Plat resigned from the
senate, expecting to be reelected, instead
of which the places they had vacated
were given to Messrs. Lapham and Mil
Ter. Mr.. Plat has been a delegate to
all of the republican national conven.
tons, beginning with that of 1876 and
including that of last year. He has
been the recognized leader of the republi-
can party organization in New York state
for the last twelve or fourteen years and
although his title to supremacy has fire.
quently been attacked. he has often dem
onstrated his ability to hold it against
all corners. Mr.. Platt is the president
of the United States Express company
He is in his 9th year.

WISE LEGISI,ATION

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Hereafter it will

city with floral or geological exhibit or
the sweetest confection that ever got

Mayor Swift tonight vetoed Alderman
Ploke's ordinance tabooing all kinds of
hats during theatrical performances and
suggested the 80 substitute, which Cor
poration Counsel Beale and the various
theatrical managers of the city concocted
among themselves. The ordinance was
passed by an almost unanimous vote by
the city council.

KENTJ7CKy IN THE CABINET.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 14.-From time to
time reports well authenticated have been
coming from Canton to the effect that
Mr.. Mckinley desired a southern man in
his cabinet and that he desired the honor
to fall on Kentucky, not alone because 1t
gave him twelve votes in the electoral
college, but because it is a border state
and one which he believes can be kept
in the republican column in years to come
by recognizing its brainiest and brightest
republicans.
Now the information comes from Can
ton to the effect that Col. John Boyle of
Louisville, is being seriously considered
for the attorney generalship.
He has been pressed upon Mr.. Mckin-
ley by Mr.. Medill of the Chicago Tribune.
This was without the knowledge of Mr..
Boyle. In an interview today, Mr.. Boyle
said:
81 am still candidate for the Ken
lucky senatorship and am still the nomi-
nee of the republican party. l 40 not
know whether Governor Bradley will call
an extra session or not, but my impression
is that he will.
81 do not intend throwing my strength
to any other candidate, nor have / been
taking any part in the present contest. /
am the caucus candidate and l think the
decision of that body will not be
changed"
