.smotherins" Hostile Fire.

The newest development ofmodern
naval warfare is "smothering' the fire
of the enemy's guns. Dewey's vessels
did it at Manila, aud to this is to be
attributed the absence Of casualties in
the American feet. The meaning OF
the term thus explained by a Wash
ington correspondent:
1T is part Of the tactics which:keep
time with the latest form of arma-
nents. The warship of today carries
big guns below aud batteries of rapid
fire guns above, and in the tops there
are machine guns. When Dewey
pushed his feet right up to theSpan-
ish ships under the Notifications OF
Cayite he turned loose his big guns,
and at the same time the batteries OF
rapid fire guns and the machine guns
were worked incessantly.
,'The big guns sunk the vessels,
while the smaller guns rained bullets
SO fast that the Spaniards could not
man their guns. They "smothered'
the guns of the Spaniards so that the
latter we're either slenced or operated
at random and to no purpose. The
rain of small ,leaden missiles made
possible the terrible execution Of
Dewey's fleet without corresponding
damage from the Spaniards.'
This is a graphic picture Of ter
rible fact, but it is.war: and in reality
it saves life in the long run. If the
Spaniards do not like it, they can sur
render and save themselves.

nanauet to BRYAN.

LINCOLN. Jan. 5.-W.J. Bryan's home
coming from his Mexican trip last even
ing was the occasion of a more marked
display of enthusiasm on the part of his
political and social friends than has
been shown since his return from Chi
cago following his nomination for the
presidency. 1t being the night of the
complimentary banquet rendered him
by the Bryan Travelling Mems club, a
number of distinguished men who par
ticipated at the function were on hand
at the station to greet him. To the AS
seciated Press correspondent Mr.. Bryan
said he was not yet ready to express
his impressions of Mexico and that
furthermore his speech last night would
be extemporaneous.
It was nearly 10 o'clock when the
banquet hall of the Lincoln hotel was
thrown open. For an hour previous a
reception was rendered to distinguished
guests from abroad, Hon. George Fred
Williams of Boston, Hon. David Over.
myer and Hon. J. H. Atwood of Kan.
sas. Covers were laid for 200 guests.
Nearly all the speakers referred tc
Mr.. Bryan as the generally accepted
Democratic candidate in 1900, and the
sentiment was generously applauded
It was after 2 q. M. when the banquet
concluded.

Griffith Swaps Horses.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 5.-The political
future of Senator Hanna is certainly in
closely poised balance. While there
are now reported to be only nine dis"
senters among the 50 Republican mem
bers, one in the senate and eight in the
house, yet the really doubtful list is
limited to two or three. Some Of the
dissenting Republicans are not likely
ever to be reconciled to Senator Hanna.
They have burned the bridges behind
them and openly admit it.
Late last night the Hanna managers
lost the two doubtful members that
they had gained yesterday, so that
there is now no material change from
that of Monday when the house Stood
Sc to 53 against Hanna. This wculd
give the senator only 70 votes on 20. Il
ballot Or three less than enough votes t.
elect. In connection with the change
of Representative Griffith back to the
anti Hanna camp, there are most scan
dalously sensational reports in circula-
ton.
Letters and kilograms have poured in
on Governor Bushnell, the dissenting
Republican members and others pro-
testing against the action Of the Re-
publicans who were cooperating with
the Democrats. In reply, those about
the headquarters in the Great Southern
hotel revived the talk Of the American
Protective association, the worhingmen
and others being opposed to Senator
Hanna. It was charged that the SEN
ator had Mrs Griffith annoyed by his
emissaries and that the senator was
with her two hours before her husband
announced himself for Hanna. The
announcement by the Republicans that
they would have no joint senatorial
caucus tonight or at any time previous
to the balloting for senator, will compel
all to continue in this guerilla warfare
for another week, but with the result
depending on the action of two or three
doubtful members, neither side could
show its hand without exposing the re-
cruits or the deserters to terrific fire for
at least a week. 1t was expected by
the public that there would be decisive
results at the caucus tonight, but there
will be no caucusses and the steering
committees will try to have all mem
bers located before balloting begins.
The senate and the house will ballot
separately next Tuesday for senator.

China Consents to Russia

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says: 1t is
reported that China has given consent
to Russian surveys for railway to
Port Arthur as branch of the Russian
Trans Manchuria railway, and not a
mere extension of the Chinese Tien
Tsin railway 1t is also stipulated that
the route is to avoid Mukden, the cap
ital city of the Tartar dynasty" Muk-
den is the capital of the province Of
Leao-Tong, Manchuria, and is about
$50 miles northeast of Pekin. 1t was
the last residence of the Manchu sover-
eigns before the conquest of China, and
is the place where the early emperors
of the reigning dynasty are buried.

PANAMA, Jan. 4.-The trouble be-

taken a new phase. The Costa Rican
consul at Managua has been sentenced
to five years imprisonment and has
fed. 1t is supposed that he has gone
to Costa Rica and will lay the case be-
fore the president. This has aroused a
new friction between the governments.
War, it is believed in many quarters,
will be the result. In the meantime,
Nicaragua is threatened from another
source Believing that war between
that government and Costa Rlca is
probable, Nicaraguan exiles in Costa
RIGA are going to Salvador to try to in
duce President Gutierrez to aid them
against Nicaragua. Salvador. how
ever, is in great danger of a revolution,
SO President Gutierrez, in the present
case, is an unknown quantity. An out.
break in Salvador is expected daily.

MA. MEN BEATEN,
LOSE THE ORGANIZATION OF THE
OHIO HOUSE.
Hanna Managers Deny That They Will
Form Coalition With Brice for a Gold
Democrat for Senator Rather Than BE
Beaten by q FREQ Silver Republican.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 4.-The senatorial
contest in the Ohio legislature has be-
come desperate. The combine Of 10
anti. Hanna Republicans with the Demo-
cratic members won at the caucusses
last Saturday night and again yester-
day in organizing both branches of the
legislature in the combine opposition to
the reelection of Senator Marcus A.
Hanna.
The Hanna men deny that they will
form coalition with Brice for gold
Democrat for senator rather than be
beaten by free silver Republican, or
that they will do anything else but
fight it out if it takes all winter. While
they are not able to give list long
enough to elect they claim that Hanna
is stronger than Boxwell and the other
regular Republican candidates in the
organization of the legislature and that
the opposition has not enough votes to
elect senator. The Hanna men con-
cede that they have lost the power of
the organization of both branches, can
name no chairman: place no member on
desirable positions on any Of the COM
mittees, or dispose of any other state
patronage, but they have carried the
war into the home counties of the bolt
ing Republican members and expect the
necessary changes before next Wednes-
day night.
The developments of last Saturday
night and yesterday have caused the
Hanna men to admit they were out
done in the preliminary organization
for this contest and that they underes-
tilnated the opposition and especially
the extent of it since the November
election While ex-Chairman Kurtz
was thought to have been organizing
against Senator Hanna ever since the
Republican state convention at Toledo
in June, yet the participation of Gov.
ernor Bushnell and others had not been
fully anticipated. The Democratic
state headquarters have been kept il
operation by John R. Mclean and
others ever since the November cleo
ton, ostensibly to prepare for grant
free silver carnival here on jackson

ROBBERS LOOT AN EXPRESS CAR.
Pittsburg and Gulf Held Up Within the
LmitS nf Klusns City.

KANsAa y -. Isl jan. 5.--After
itooUt til &c -4-o..,--, mac ,lvlty, 4-dn-:
sas City ) train robbers scored anoJher
brilliant achievement last night. This
time lie kansas City, Pittsbrrg and
Gulf road is the sufferer. The COM
pany's Port Arthur express, which left
here at 6 40 last night, was robbed be-
fore it had passed beyond the city limits.
Two men, whom no one but the ex-
press messenger seems to nave seen,
climbed inio the express car as the
train left the depot. They oyerpow-
cred the messenger and bound and
gagged him and rifed the car before
the train caEle to stop.
When the train slowed up at rail
road crossing known as the Air Line
junction, near the southeastern limits
of the city they climbed out Of the car
and disappeared. Nothing was known
of the robbery until a negro train porter
entered the car and found the helpless
express messenger.
The express company officials say not
much Of value was taken. In police
circles, however, the impression pre-
walls that the ROBBERS secured several
thousand dollars i'll money and jewelry.
