FIGHTING M'KINLEY TOO.
Anti Hannaites Say They Will Defeat
Anybody Put Forward by the
Administration,

Columbus, o., Jan. 5.-The senatorial
contest became more bitter today than
ever. After the sensational develop
mentS last night in connection with the
repeated changes of Representative
Griffith and other doubtful members,
the skirmiShing proceeded more clan
destinely on both Sides No claims of
changes were made on either side. 1t
was the purpose of the managers in not
holding any caucus to be able to keep
their own secret till the ballOting be
secret cOmpacts are being made that
will not become known until the votes
of members are recorded.
The situation today is the same as
after the caucuSes of Saturday night
and the organization of the legislature
on Monday All those who changed
their preferences yesterday were
brought back during the night to their
original places. There was much COM
ment today on the departure of Con-
gresham GrOsvenOr for Washington
after ex-Secretary Ryan and others
have recently been there in the inter
est of Senator Hanna.
The Hanna men insisted that there
will be no legatee while the opposition
insisted that they had Hanna beaten
now and that they would defeat Sec
Day or any other man that the friends
of the national administration brought
out in place of Hanna.
The feature of the day was the pass
and by a unanimous vote, of the bill
repeating the law for 5O-year fran
chises to street railways. This repeating
bill was introduced by Representative
Bromley of Cleveland who is one of
the Republicans opposing Hanna. AT
ter Bromley spoke for his Dill, Mr.
BoxwelI replied, and charged Bromley
with using this bill for defense and
buncomb at this time. Boxwel said he
voted for the 50-year franchise law in
the last legislature and was sorry for
it, but he did not then understand the
measure and was induced to support it
by Senator Foraker, who was here at
that time. The debate became general,
and it was freely. charged by memb bers
in their speeches that Senator Hanna
was at the state house two years ago
as we'll as Senator Foraker, lobbying
for the 5O-year street railway franchise

were merely routine, but the old lines
of Monday were drawn whenever the
steering committee so desired.
In the senate there were no new de-
velopments. Senator Burke continuing

LOYAL TO SILVER.
Congressman Jerry Simpson
Sticks to Bryan and the
Omaha Platform.

Washington, Jan. Representative
Jerry Simpson said today concerning
the attitude of the POpulists towards
silver:
IF the Democrats show disposition
to take a step backward and let in the
'goldbugs' that they spewed up at Chi
caco bv a modification of their plat
form, the Populist party VIII take indie
pendent action And if they nominate
an eastern man that is not fully in ac-
cord with the free silver movement, in
my opinion, the free silver Democrats,
the free silver Republicans, and the
Populists will nominate Bryan and
elect him 1 think the country is ready
for revolution of that kind. and II the
Democratic party is wise it viii keep
step with the progress of the people,
and instead of modifying the platform
make it still more radical
I hope after the holidays he said,
that we shall develop some leader over
here that will take active part in op-
posing the Republican policy. and not
let everything go by default, as we
have heretofore.
s.They bury the Populist party every
year. but people do not seem to under
stand the difference between party
name and the principles a party stands
for 1 think that the Populists have
every reason to rejoice over the pro-
gress of their principles, which include
the creation and maintenance of an
honest measure of values, government
ownership and operation of railroads.

which means the upbuilding of trusts
and control of public utilities.
When I came here seven years ago
it was rare thing to find a man who
advocated any of these principles. Now
nearly all the leading men in both hous-
es go a long way in support of them.
In fact, the Democratic party at Chi
cago practically adopted our platform
and nominated a man who, while he
has not openly avowed that he stands
for all these principles, acknowledges
that he has Travelled along the same
road.
THE Republican managers today in
the northwest" added Mr.. Simpson,
fear the growth of the Populist party.
Senator Chambers warning to his par
ty was only an echo of that fear which
perVades senators and representatives
from that section of the country. They
know that any effort on the part OF
Republicans to retire the greenbaclIs
would mean their defeat in the next
election. The same might be said of the
Democrats of the south If the Popu-
list influence on politics in that section
were withdrawn there is no doubt in
my mind that they would soon drop
back into the old Democratic rut. The
Populist party shows every Indication
of a healthful body polite and is daily
increasing. They have no idea OF
surrendering or disbanding''

INTO THE CABINET.
Where Senator Hanna Will Be
Taken if His Election Fails.

Washington, Jan. Sin political cir
cles the Ohio situation is regarded as
Hanna's Waterloo. So strong is the
conviction that the sharps are already
forecasting Hanna's political future.
His choice as they view it, will lie be-
tween retirement to private life and a
place in the cabinet.
Sherman's prospective retirement will
probably open the way for Hanna
With Sherman out of the way, the
general belief is that Secretary Long
will be promoted to that position and
that Hanna will take the navy port
folio In some quarters there is a be-
lief that Hanna may be placed at the
head of the state department with Day
in practical charge of affairs.
Another view of the situation makes
Hanna a possibility for secretary of
the interior. 1t is known that Mr.. Bliss
reluctantly laid aside his private inter
ests for public life.

San Francisco, Jan. 5.-The annual re-

ReasSem bling OF the House Today.
Washington, Jan 5-There was a very
large attendance in the hall of the house
of representatives when the house con-

galleries were crowded.
It was noticed that with one or two ex-
ceptions the members of the Ohio delega-
ton. both Democrats and Republicans,
were absent. Without any preliminary
business, the house went into committee
of the whole to resume consideration of
the legislative, executive and judicial aF-
preparation bill. All of the features of
the bill had been disposed of except the
appropriation for the civil service COM
mission, upon which. by previous ar
rangement, there was to be an indefinite
general debate.
It was proposed that Mr. Moody

Three Deaths at the Chicago Univer-
sity From Starvation

Chicago. Jan. 5.-"Of five deaths which
have occurred in five years (at the univer-
sity) three are directly traceable to starv-
alton" This was the startling statement
made last evening by President William
r. Harper at the twenty-first convocation
of the University of Chicago in the Audi>
torium.
The declaration was. embodied in the
presidents quarterly address and was
modified by the explanation that these
three deaths were due to insufficient nu-
triton, that in turn being the result OF
poor food supplied in the district sur
rounding the university commons. The
startling statement was succeeded by q
plea for money to endow a great uni-
versity commons which should supply nu>
trftious food to the students, that their
bodies might be as well as their minds,
and that fewer intellectual dyspeptics
should be turned out upon the world.

There is hardly any doubt that the

There is no reason why Sunday games
on the Polo grounds should not be well
