Hanna would have only 20 votes on

A NICARAGUA REPUBLIC.
Salvador and Honduras to Join Nicara-
qua With Constitutional Assembly.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 3.-The COM
plete consolidation of Nicaragua, Sal
vadOr and Honduras into a sovereign
republic is progressing steadily, accord
ing to adyices received from Senor
Correa. charge d'affaires of the Greater
Republic of Central America. Mr..
Correa is advised that the Diet has com
pleted a constitution for the Greater
Republic with full legislative powers,
and that notice has been sent to the
presidents of the three countries form
ing the union that the constitution is
ready to be passed upon. The next
step will be to convene a constitutional
assembly, with twenty delegates from
each Of the three countries, to pass
upon the constitution. The assembly is
expected to be held during the coming
spring.
Sen0r Correa has advices from Nicara-
qua as late as December 10th, stating
that an amicable adjustment had been
reached between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica over the Imprisonment of the Costa
| Rican consul general. 1t was feared Mt
one time that this arrest would lead to
war. and there are renewed reports to
| this effect but in view of his official
adyices Senior Correa feels sure that the
| incident is satisfactorily closed.
| The charge has received no official
| information on the reported uprising in
Salvador and for this reason is inclined
to discredit the stories of serious trouble.
Mr. Correa will continue in charge of
the affairs of the three republics in
| Washington, it having been determined
| that it is not necessary for the present
| that Minister Rodriguez should return
| to this post. 1t is probable this is
| brought about to some extent by the
friction over receiving the United States
| ministers to the Central American
States, although the only cause assigned
for Minister Rodriguez's failure to re-
turn is that the business here does not
demand his presence.

BLACKBURN IN SADDLE

LATURE TODAY.
Goebel Slated Fer Governor PopuIists May
Join the Republicans in Favor of
Gold Democrats.

Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 3.-Both houses
of the Legislature will be ready for or
ganization tomorrow at noon, the Demo
cratic caucus getting near enough
through to nominate all the more impor-
tant officers. These caucuses were with
out special political incident except fresh
evidence that ex-senator Blackburn and
his friends are in the saddle for the
dominant party in the State. Senator
GOebe the prospective candidate for
Governor, was made the nominee for
president pro tenn OF the Senate, and a
sterr.ng committee was named to take
from the Republicans lieutenant COVER
nor the naming of the Senate commit
tees. Hon. J. C. w. Beckbam, of Mel
son county, unanimously nominated for
for speaker Of the House, is a descend
ant of the distinguished Beckham and
Wieklffe families, and has been a
staunch friend of both Blackburn and
Goebel. The nine popnlists in the as
sembly show some intention of not par
ticipating with the Democrats in all
party caucuses of. the session, and may
join the Republicans and Conservative
Democrats against any radical measures
started by ultra-silver Democrats, who
threaten to leg,slate gold Democrats out
of office.
The sensational feature Of the Cover
nor's message to be delivered tomorrow
will be his sweeping denunciation of
riots and turnpike raiders, and the
spirit of county officers and citizens that
makes such things possible.

RYAN CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
lie is One of the Counsel for the South
ern Railway.

New York, Jan. 3.-Leslie w. Ryan.
one of the counsel for the Southern
Railway Company, was arrested to-day
under an indictment filed against him
a month ago, charging him with perjury
on the complaint of Henry Winthrop
Gray, special commissioned of jurors of
this city. Mr.. Ryan is attorney for the
reorganization committee of the
ThOmpson-Houston Electric Company.
Mr.. Gray is receiver of that company.
Mr.. Ryan lives in Boston, and is said
10 be very wealthy. Last September
Alr Ryan, acting in behalf of the stock
holders of the electric company, who
were trying to effect reorganization,
filed a motion in the Supreme Court,
and. it is said, backed his motion by an
affidavit in which he said that he, rep
resenting the stockholders, had paid
Gray $4,000, and that the latter had in
turn paid it out to the creditors. Re-
ceiver Gray denied that he had receiv-
Ell any such sum from Ryan or from
one acting for him, and said that the
statement was made to prejudice the
court.
Mr.. Ryan was arraigned before Judge
Cowing and held in $4,000 bail, which
was furnished Mr.. Ryan denies that
he perjured himself in any way.

FIRST BLOOD FOR KURTZ
HOUSE AND SENATE ORGANIZED
AGAINST HANNA.
HANNAITES DtNY THIS is a SURE 1851
But They Are Desperate Two More Test Voles
--Ihe Joint Senatorial Caucuses We'd
nesday Night and the Joint Sen
alorill B4IIotin5 January 18th.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 3.-The combs
nation of ten anti-Hanna Republicans
with the Democratic members succeeded
in organizing both branches of the Leg
islature to-day in the interest of the
combine" opposition to the reelection of
Senator Marcus A. Hanna by vote Of
SO to 81.
There are two more dates for tests Of
strength-the joint senatorial caucuses
next Wednesday night and the joint ball
loting for Senator, one week from next
Wednesday, January 18th. With the
competitions of the legislative organi-
zation and it's patronage disposed of, the
Hanna men tonight began a most des-
perate fight for the Senatorship.
The hanna men deny that they will
form coalition with Brice for gold
Democrat for Senator rather than ue
beaten by a 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 Re
puDllCdl CdluludleS III the oESdIlZdlIOl
of the legislature, and that the opposi-
ton has not enough votes to elect n
Senator. The Hanna men concede that
they have lost the power which will
result from the organization of both
branches, as they can name no chair
man of committees, place no members
in desirable positions, or dispose of any
other State patronage, but they have
carried the war into the home counties
of ''the bolting" Republican members,
and expect the necessary changes before
next Wednesday night.
The developments of last Saturday
night and to-day have caused the Hanna
men to admit they were out-done in the
preliminary organization for this con-
test, and that they underestimate the
opposition, 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 conven-
ton at Toledo in June, yet the partici-
patton of Governor Bushnell and others
had not been fully anticipated.

THE CASE OF COL. sTUBBs.
Mr.. Baughman Explains How He Go
the Womack Check.


Richmond, Va, Jan. 3.-The question
of how the Womack checks which fgur-
ed in the investigation of the charges
against Col. Stubs, Grand Commander
of Virginia Confederate Veterans got
into the possession of Mr.. Greer Baugh-
man, was settled today, before the
grand jury of the Hastings court Mr..
Baughman testified that the checks
were given him by Mr.. Montgomery
West, of the firm of West, Johnston 4
Co, which was formerly located on Main
street, between Ninth and Tenth Mr..
Womack at one time had an office in
the store of this firm, and when he
gave it up left considerable trash be-
hind. When West, Johnston & Com
pany failed and the debris was cleaned
up, Mr. West found the checks in a pile
Of rubbish and turned them over to
Mr.. Baughman.
The grand jury adjourned over until
the 9th. in order that other witnesses
might he summoned. What turn the
matter will take after it leaves the
hands of the grand igsy is not known.
Mr. Womaek has expressed a determin-
alton to pursue the matter.

WILD SCENES IN THE HOUSE.
The Senate Will Cast II Votes for Han
no and 10 Against Him.

Columbus, Osio, Jan. 1.-The Demo
cratic State headquarters have been
kept in operation by John r. Mclean
and others ever since the November cleo
ton, ,ostensibly to prepare for grand
Day, January s.
1t now transpires that the Democratic
State Headquarters were kept open to
get all the Democratic members in line
for what took place today, and for the
defeat of Hanna. Meantime Mr.. Kurtz
was marshaling every possible Republi-
can in line against Hanna and communi-
eating with the Committee on Arrange
ments for Jackson Day. Tonight
this fact was no longer concealed by the
opposition, and many Republicans are
openly complaining against the manage
ment of Senator Hanna's interests.
The superior organization of the op-
position was shown in their securing to-
day nearly all of the doubtful votes. The
anti-Hanna legislators marched to the
State House today in line like troops
and had their triumphal march in the
most unusual mapner, because of the
confidence in their organization. Their
wives and daughters secured choice
seats in advance in the legislative halls
and the most elaborate floral designs
were on hand for the occasion.
The feeling of the Republican mem
hers who voted for their caucus nomi-
nees, is openly expressed against Gov
ernor Bushnell more than against Mr..
Kurtz or other Republicans who com
bined with the Democrats. The Star
Journal. the Republican organ of Cen
tral Ohio, prints a large picture Of the
Governor with beayy black borders
Some Republican clubs have cancelled
their engagements Of quarters here for
the Inauguration exercises next Monday,
and many protests are being received
at the State House. Col. T. w. Moore,
of Marietta, another appointee of Gov
ernor Bushnell, today resigned as trus-
tee Of the State Insane Asylum at
Athens.
The feeling or revenge was shown
even in the routine legislative proceed
ings. Representative Bramley, of
Cleveland, introduced bill to repeal the
fifty year franchise law for street rail-
ways in which Senator Hanna is largely
