A Sensational DIsemyerY.

Laporte, Ind, Jan. 14.-For sew.
eral months diphtheria of the most
malignant type has ragged at Galien.
A number of deaths resulted, and
the virulence of the malady has
baff1ed the best medical skill. A
rigid investigation as to the cause of
the disease recently begun has just
resulted in the discovery that the
feline population of the town is
suffering with the malady, and that
the disease was communicated by
pet cats. The origin of the epidemic
has thus been traced, and the dis
coyery has caused sensation. Ply
sicians unite ia the statement that
few parallel cases have ever existed.

His Confirmation.
Washington, Jan. 14-Hon NJ
a. Hanna, Columbus. O: Everything
good in politics has triumphed with
you Congratulations
JOSEPH MCkESNA
This telegram, sent by Attorney
General McKenna 10 Mark Hanna
Wednesday, was thrown into the
senate during the executive session
this afternoon. A bombshell could
not have created more Consideration.
The message may defeat Mr.. Nc
Kenna on the motion TO confirm his
nomination for the Supreme Court
bench.
Friends of the Attorney General
and the administration were taken
by surprise. That q nominee for
the supreme court bench should
take such partisan step confound-
ed them. Privately, they admitted
that the telegram was most dam
aging bit of evidence in support of
the contention that Mr.. McKenna is
a man of too small caliber for the
post to which be has been assigned
by the president, They could offer
but lttla defense, and were only too
glad to postpone action for a week.
