CANDIDATES FOR SPEAKER.
Contest a Little Livelier Yesterday
than the Big Show.

The candidates for speaker of the House,
not to be outdone by those for senator, were
yesterday much in evidence in the Denison.
Francis It. Roots, of Connersviile, arrived
early in the morning and divided his time
between looking after his fences and work.
ing on the report of the commission of
which he is a member. Representative j.
w. Baker, of Columbia City. another aspir-
ant, was circulating among the members in
the lobby and feeling the political pulse.
Representative Littleton of this city.
dropped into the hotel earlier than he is
wont to do.
The contest for senatorship was quiet.
Senator Fremont Goodwlne, of Williams
port, came in during the day to see what
his choice, Hany, was doing, and Senator
+. G. Hogate, Of Danville, who is for
Taylor, likewise dropped in to see how his
favorite is coming on. Representative Bon
ham, of Hartford City, and Senator w. w.
Lambert, of Columbus, were also among the
callers. Among the candidates for minor
offices who have been here for the last few
days was Robert S. Hayman, of Terre
Haute, who desires to be clerk of the
Senate He was a member of the One-hun-
dred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana and is making
an active canvass. The senatorial candidates
will all leave for their homes to-day except
Major Steele. Mr.. Posey left yesterday and
Judge Taylor will leave this morning. Mr..
Hanly will go to his home this evening,
while Major Steele will be joined by Mrs.

REVISION OF TAX LAWS
STATE BOARD PREPARING SUCCESS
TIONS TO LEGISLATURE.
Reported that Governor Has Decided
ON Sid COnger to Succeed
Colonel Walker.

The State Board of Tax Commissioners
held a meeting yesterday, continuing until
a late hour last night. The object of the
gathering was to make preparations for
recommendations to the Legislature look
ing to a complete revision of the tax laws
Most of ii, however, is of little general in
terest, having largely TO do with changes
in the phraseology of sentences and the
rectifying of typographical errors which
have been shown to make the laws in some
respects equivocal and their operation
fraught with trouble and perplexity. 1t is
not designed to recommend any radical de-
parture from the present laws but simply
to make them comprehensive.
There will be one recommendation, how
ever, that the commissioners will make
which. if adopted, will necessitate modi-
flying statute. Under the existing laws
county assessor after serving his term of
four years is not eligible for reelection The
commissioners believe that a county asses
sor is most useful to the county, if he is
a competent official, after he has been sea-
soned by term of office, and will ask the
Legislature to remove the disqualification in
the present statute, so that any county as
SCISSOR may be reelected if the people, be-
lieving him to be competent, wish to con-
tinue him in office
The statement was made by a Statehouse
official yesterday that when the term of Col
/. N. Walker expires on March 10 next
new tax commissioner will be appointed to
succeed him. This would imply that the serv-
ice of Colonel Walker would come to an end
with his present term. The appointment of
the commissioner rests altogether with the
Governor and it is said that the chief ex-
hos JaJ WoI
successor. This could not be confirmed last
night as the Governor and his wife spent
the night away from home. The name sug-
gested as having been chosen by the Gov
eTnor as the successor of Colonel Walker is
that of Sid Conger of Flat Rock. The pos
sibility which attaches to the story comes
from the knowledge of the extreme friend
Illness that exists between Governor Mount
and Mr.. Conger.

CROWDED INSANE HOSPITALS.
Investigating Committee Has It's Re-

The committee which has been visiting the
different state institutions with a view to
making a report to the Legislature on the
question of appropriations and needed i'm
provements, is almost through with it's
work, and yesterday the members separated
until after Christmas. Next week some
time the committee will visit the Central
Hospital for the Insane and its work will
then be completed. Francis T. Roots, chair
man OF the committee, says that reports
will be filed in both the House and Senate.
The committee will recommend sufficient APP
preparations to place all of the benevolent
and penal institutions in first-class condi-
ton. 1t is said that at every institution
the committee has been cordially welcomed
by the superintendent The investigation of
the needs of the different departments has
been thorough in each institution. The COM
mittee found all of the asylums for the in
sane greatly congested and the report will
deal largely with the overcrowded condition
Of these asylums. The same condition exists
in the School for Predetermined at Fort

GRAND CENTRAL HANDICAP.
Harvey McMurchy, of Syracuse, the
Crack shot of 1t.

For the first time this week the shooters
at the Limited Gun Club tournament had
good light when the Grand Central Handi-
cap-the big and closing event of the tourna-
ment-was shot yesterday afternoon Moth
ing but practice work was done during the
early portion of the day the men all wait
ing for the big event before letting them
selves out. The conditions of the race were
that there should be twenty-four entries
guaranteed and it was agreed with the first
of the contestants that all late-comers could
shoot at any time during the race providing
they had already been entered. This caused
some confusion and consequent poor work,
as men came in at all times up to the
twelfth turn of the traps. On the whole,
however, the event was the best that has
ever been held in the city and the shooters
We're not all caught up until the twentieth
round. The handicaps for the men were as
follows:
Trip. 20 yards; voris, 90 Irwin, %;
Heikes, 81; Young 80: McMurchy, 81; Werk,
81 Elliott 81; Budd, 81 Tanning, 81; Neal
Parker, 81 Marott. "a; Beck 20; Hallowen,
Winston, 80 Rke, %; Cube, 2S
Elliott was the only man to lose In the
first round ,o; but Trip Heikesi Neal AM. and
the windup came with the shooting of the
last bird it was found that Harvey Nc
Murchy, of Syracuse, N. y, was the only
man with clean score. OF course he took
first money and Hekes took second coin
with twenty-four. By the terms of the
handicap ten men were to come within the
money, but a count showed that Elliott,
Budd Neal, Irwin, Halowell and Donley
were the only ones left who were not in the
'miss-and-out" class AS three misses and
outs were allowed it was decided to 'shoot
up among the contestants VINO had missed.
Under this arrangement Trip, Gilbert and
Young tied 1T twenty-five and divided ninth
and tenth money between the three.
The handicap was remarkable for the rea-
son that most of the cracks who have been
killing birds right and left during the
previous races were not in the hunt yester-
day at ALL Prominent among those who
were left outside the money were: Tanning,
Parker, Rike, Erb Werk. Beck and Ed
winston who was last years champion
shot of the State. Winston lost on his TWEEN
ty-fifth bird. e. II. Trip was conceded to
be the only man who had taken part in
every event during the tournament and on
nearly every occasion he came within the
money. Charles Young, of Springfield, o.,
probably won the most money and perhaps
made the highest average for the week.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON HOME
HAS COME FROM HAVANA TO At
TEND HIS DAUGHTERS WEDDING.
He Says the Wealthiest and Most In
nexatiOn to the United States.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The United States
cruiser New York, from Havana, has ar
rived here. Admiral Samp son is on board
with Mrs. Sampson. To some newspaper
men who boarded the New York at quaran-
tine Admiral Sampson said he had come
home to attend his daughters wedding on
Jan. d. at Glen Ridge N. j. The admiral and
his family were taken from the New York
on government tug He will spend Christ
mas at home with his family. in Glen Ridge
Admiral Sampson said that the perfecting
of the custom-house service and the official
police in the island were the two most inn
portant features in connection with Cuba.
When General Greene and Chief McCullagh
had established their police force he thought
there would be little disorder. The admiral
said the material benefit from the reduction
of the Cuban customs receipts could not be
judged at present, and remarked that there
had always been much fraud in connec-
ton with Cuban customs that it was i'm
possible TO change everything right away.
In answer TO the question do you think
the people of the island will prove amenable
TO the American government, Admiral
ference whether they are or not We are
down there and our government will go on
as long as 1T is necessary: The admiral
said that De Castro the civil governor of
Havana, was doing well as could be eX-
rected, and by the LIST of January all of
Cuba would be officially evacuated, except
Matanzas, and one or two other points.
Regarding the suffering throughout Cuba,
which Mrs. Sampson has been working hard
to alleviate, Admiral Sampson said 1.-THE
government Is issuing rations regularly but
the reconcentrados are now scattered, and
there is the difficulty. Many of them have
died and many more will die They lack
tools to work their farms and the only crop
they could raise now is sweet potatoes 1t is
too late to raise sugar.
Reverting to the question of the future
of Cuba Admiral Sampson said: 'The
wealthiest and most influential people in
Cuba want the island annexed to the United
States, whether as state or as a territory
they don't much care. But there are many
Cubans who think they are able to govern
themselves. Cuba at present certainly is in
no condition to govern itself. The question
OF what shall become of Cuba will not be
settled for year at least and possibly not
for two or three years. In the meanwhile
the military government by the United
States will go on

free for reorganization of the machine and
for the selection of another leader. Mr.,
Magee Is that man beyond doubt he be-
ing as far above the next best man In the
party as Quay is above Magee.
The Pittsburg boss is not yet fifty years
of age. He is worth from 100000 to $10..
100000, every cent of which he has accounts
lated himself. He is man of indomitable
courage and energy; and is In a hundred en-
terprises in and about Pittsburg. Every
thing he touches seems to turn to gold. One
of his biggest hits came from an opportunity
cident This is the story as told by Pitts
burger: One day Mrs. Mary Schenley, a
wealthy widow. sent for him to discuss a
matter OF business" Arriving at the Schen-
ley mansion, the widow informed him that
she had decided to give the city park, but
that she wanted to obtain the views of
SO. Being in that class. she had sent for
him first He listened to her plans, and, Of
course, gave his cordial approval. The land
she proposed to make over 10 the city was 4
tract of $50 acres in what is now the FASH
ionable East End of Pittsburg, and known
as Schenley Park. He gave her the benefit
of his counsel, and one of the points he urged
on her was that she say nothing about her
project to any one else until she heard from
him. as he wished to talk the matter IN in
his own way with other citizens She ac-
quiesced in this. Mr. Magee lost no time In
acquainting a group of trusted friends with
the secret, and they set in TO buy all the land
and options on land within a half mile OF
the Schenley tract they could get secure.
The sudden activity in real estate In that
quarter aroused suspicion that something big
was ahead, but before the truth got out Mr..
Magee and his party had acquired possession
of hundreds of acres of real estate which
eventually netted them a profit of several
million dollars. This coup was regarded IN
Pittsburg as entirely legitimate and en-
HANGED the financial standing and business
regulations of everybody engaged Street
railways are another of Mr.. Magee's specials
ties and he has made millions by invest-
ments in that class of property. He owns
a newspaper one of the best paying jour
nails in the city, and his holdings of real es~
fat although
disposed of the greater part of HIS Schenley
Park purchases.
