COLUMBUS. Dec. 28.-The sensational
fight is getting very warm, although
the baHonng is two weeks away.
The anti iianna people declare that
Hanna Is trying to arrange a confer
ence with kurtz to make peace.
The Hanna men say that the anti
Hanna forces are falling to pieces
They declare it is the drift of opinion
that senator Hanna will not only be re-
elected, but that he will win without
the aid of single member of the Ham
ilton county delegation. There are
three members of the Cleveland delega-
ton who would vote against Senator
Hanna if they could secure enough ad-
ditlons to their strength to compass his
defeat, but 1t is not ID evidence, and
they will vote for him.
The air is full of rumors, and all sorts
of talk is being INDUCED in regarding
the plans of the opposition to Senator
Hanna but the most of it comes from
people who have no vote in the matter.
There is considerable unfriendliness to
the senator, and but for the action of
the Toledo convention IN lndorsing him
there is no doubt that he would be de-
feated, but the bitterest enemy of Mr..
Hanna hesitates to take step that
would politically and socially ostraeise
him forever in Ohio.
Hon Charles F. Dick, the political
manager of Senator Hanna, arrived to-
dav and opened headquarters. He will
occupy suite of rooms at the Neil,
used by Senator Sherman in his last
contest for the senatorship with For
aker in 1893 Dick will be joined later
III the week by an army Of Hanna
workers, from Cleveland and Washing
ton, the senator himself not coming
here until next Sunday. The city is
filling up with members of the legisia-
ture in anticipation of the struggle and
lively time is expected. There will
be an open caucus of the Republicans
for senator, although that course is an.
tagonized by the anti Hanna men.
1t will lie held in the hall of the house
on Wednesday evening, Jan. 5. 1t will
furnish line on the real situation, and
perhaps demonstrate who are opposed
to Mr.. Hanna. The best that is now
expected for the opposition is for suf.
ficient number of Kurtz Republicans to
absent themselves from the caucus, but
this is not believed to be practical.
1t is given out that Hon. Charles
Kurt, the leader of the anti Hanna
combine, is breaking under the stress
of the campaign and about ready for
a physical collapse. but this may be
to cover his retreat

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-The most
profound distress prevails among many
thousands of people in Cuba. Starva-
ton not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
of the facts from sources whose credi-
bilitv cannot be doubted. He has gone
to the length of his constitutional
power IN calling the state Of affairs to
the attention OF the American people.
The state department has used all OF
its authority mitigate the conditions
there and rho letter 60 the public sent
ont bv Seeset2Ty Sherman the day be-
fore Christmas pointed out the way to
further alleviate the miserable condi-
Eion Of the concentrates.
The sum OF s. 600 has been received
by Assistant Secretary Day from GER
tain charitaoly disposed persons whose
names are not disclosed, and this sum
was RENTED by telegraph early this
morning &c Consul General Lee for dis
bursement among the more pressing
cases. 1t is hoped by the department
of state that the American people will
come to the relief, and that promptly,
by subscriptions of money, clothing and
supplies Of various kinds. The news
papers are expected to lend generous
aid IN carrying forward this movement.
The machinery for distribution has
been provided by the state department.
and Consul General Lee has under
taken, with the aid of the American
consular officers in Cuba. to give per-
sonal attention to the alienation of
distress by the distribution of the gifts
of the American people. One line of
steamers plying between New Y ork and
Havana--the Ward line-it is said, has
undertaken to forward any contribu-
tions of goods TO General Lee at Ha-
vana, and it is believed that the Amer
lean railroads will do their part by
carrying the goods to the seaboard. The
Spanish authorities have consented to
remit all duties on relief supplies so
forwarded The state department di-
reefs that they be sent direct to Consul
General Lee, either money by draft or
check or goods. Consul General Lee
cabled the state department just what
is wanting at this Juncture, and his list
is as follows:
Summer clothing, second hand or
otherwise. principally for women and
children medicines for fevers, iuclud.
ing large proportion of quinine hard
bread, cornmeal, bacon, rice, lard, pota-
toes, beans, peas, salt fish, principally
Goldfish any canned goods, especially
condensed milk for the starving chill
dren. Money will also be useful to Sc
cure nurses, medicines and for many
other necessary purposes

SURPRISING TO THE OFFICIALS.
Nothing In Woodford's Note That Should
Madden the Spaniards.

Nothing In WOodford's Note That Should
Madden the Spaniards.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-rhe officials
here are somewhat surprised at the ex-
hibition of feeling at Madrid over the
latest note of Minister Woodford, de-
livered to the Spanish foreign Office the
day before Christmas. While the note
itself will not be made public at pres
ent, it is said that there is no reason
whatever why it should be withheld,
save the fact that the preceding steps
in the negotiations have not seen the
light in the newspapers, and it is desir-
able, when publication is made, to
serve the complete chain of events in
natural order.
Possibly the correspondence will
shortly be called for by congress, in
which case it is not likely to be with
held on grounds of public policy. The
last note presented by Minister Wood
ford was in answer to the Spanish note
called forth by Mr. Woodford's very
first note after his arrival at Madrid.
In the initial note, the United States
minister pointed out the interest of his
country in an early termination of the
present struggle in Cuba and asked
when SR6h conclusion could be eX-
pected. The Spanish government in its
reply acknowledged our interest in the
matter, but suggested, after stating
what 1t intended to do to ameliorate
conditions in Cuba, that the United
States could best exercise its good
offices by stopping filibustering To
this Mr.. Woodford responded with his
note of last week.
1t is said to be a purely argumenta-
tive statement of the position taken by
the United States, and the facts set
out are substantially those SO strongly
drawn in the presidents message to
congress, Of which it was supposed the
Spanish public had been fully advised
through the newspapers. The most
forcible statement in the note is based
upon the fact collected and published
recently by the United States treasury
department exhibiting the great ex-
pense to which the United States had
been put by reason of it's effort to
patrol an enormous coast line in the
pursuit of few filibusters, and the re-
markable success of the government
officials in stopping these expeditions.
as contrasted with the feeble efforts of
the Spanish authorities to maintain a
patrol around the island of Cuba.

LONDON, Dec 28.-The ballot taken
by the striking engineers, as the out
come of the recent conference between
the representatives Of the employers
and the men, has resulted in rejection
of the propo ed compromise by 100 to l,
while the trades unions proposal of 81
hours weekiy instead of IS has been re-
jected by a majority almost as large.
The ballet, therefore, is practically
tantamount to q vote Of no confidence
in the leaders Of The men. 1t is under
stood that the conference will not be
resumed.
The lockout will now commence,
though it is reported that several firms
intend to open their shops to men will

COLUMBUS, Dec. 28.-The executive
committee of the United Mine Workers
of America and coal operators from
Pennsylvania. Ohio, Indiana and Iii.
nois have met here. West Virginia
was not represented.
1t was decided to hold Joint confer
ence IN Chicago, Jan. II, following the
national miners convention in this
city. While neither the operators nor
the miners viii say positively that an
interstate agreement will be made at
that time, they are all hopeful that the
meeting Will result i'll an amicable adj
Justment of the wage scale for the en-
suing year. In the meantime, the
present conditions will remain undis.
turbed The miners will decide at their
national convention upon the demands
to be made at the joint conference. An
advance Of probably not less than 10
cents per ton in the price of mining
will be asked
The following call was issued
To the operators and miners of Western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois:
CENTENNIAL meeting of operators
and miners representatives, held at Col
1897, it was unanimously agreed that
joint meeting of miners and operators of
this competitive coal field be held in the
Y. M. c. A. building, at Chicago, at 10
O'Clock a. M, on Monday, Jan. II, for the
purpose of establishing mutual relations
and formulating an annual scale Of prices
to be paid for mining in the various fields
in the states aforesaid for the ensuing
scale year; and such adjustment of differ
entails, as may be agreed on, and if pos
sible, the permanent establishment of
interstate agreement on the mining ques-
ton; and the consideration of such other
matters as may properly come before such
meeting.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 28.-The Rus.

OF Port Arthur.
SA> ERAA CISCO, Dec. 28.-Eli T.
Sheppard, who has recently returned
from China, where he held an official
position, commenting upon the reported
occupation of Kin.Chau by Russia,
said;
kin. Chau is an important walled
city (not an open port) at the head of
the Gulf of Lau Tung, and it commands
the mouth of the river Yaloo. where
the great naval battle between the
japanese and Chinese was fought, and
the other important rivers which flow
into the gulf. 1t is about equidistant
between the mouth of the Yaloo river
and the terminus of the great wall of
China, 1t commands the railway sys-
tenn recently constructed from the Tlen
Tsin to the capital of Manchuria, and
is of pre- eminent Importance as a
strategic position.
1.-The seizure of the port shows that
Russia has practically taken possession
of Korea, Manchurla and the Gulf of
Lau Tung, and possess a significance
which viii cause CONSERVATION among
the diplomats of the old world. Its
situation is such that its possession
practically places Russia in a position
to defy the world"

Investigation Throws Little Light on the
Indiana County Tragedy.
INDIANA, Pa, Dec. 2S.-The murder
theory is still held by the friends of j.
Milton Neal and wife, who were found
dead from gunshot wounds at their
home near Jacksonville Saturday nights
The coroner's inquest is not concluded,
it being adjourned until Thursday
noon. 40 trace of the murderer has
been found, so far as the public is in
formed Frank Douglas of Indiana
son-in law of the dead couple. scouts
the idea that Mr.. Neal killed his wife
and himself. He points out that they
were in the best of circumstances,
deeply attached to each other and all
their family relations pleasant.
Mr.. Douglas would not state what
motive could have induced the murder,
but believes robbery was the main one.
Members of the family think that on
Friday before the murder Mr.. Neal
had S % on his person. Now only half
that sum can be found. Again. they
saw it was the habit of the murdered
man to carry large sums in big leather
nocketbook. The latter was found in
the usual place, but only few papers
were within. One thing which the
relatives think upholGs the idea of sui
eide is that after the bodies were found
one she'll was still in the gun. They
say tbaf both barrels were always
