HANNA DOWNED-FIRST ROUND
Anti-Hanna Republicans and Democrats
Organize the Ohio LeeIsInture

Organize the Ohio Legislature.
The opening session of the Ohio state
Legislature was marked by the first
battle for the u. S. senatorship to sue
ceed Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, who, as is
known to all, is the principal candi-
date. The revolt against the chair
man of the national Republican com.
mittee-which became so apparent in
the state election last November-came
boldly to the front in the organizing
of the legislature.
The Hanna candidate for speaker of
the house was Alexander Boxwell,
against whom the antis-led by Gov.
Bushnell, Mayor McKsson, of Cleve-
land, and Hon. Chas. l.. Kurtz-put up
Rep. III. c. Mason. In the hall Of
the house the widest scenes were wit
messed during the first hour of the ses-
sion. All of the 100 members were in
their seats. AS the ballot proceeded
there were loud cheers as the doubtful
members responded to their names,
and when the roll call approached the
close and Mason secured the necessary
majority, there was long demonstra-
tion that delayed the official announce
ment of the vote. The ballot resulted:
Mason So, BoXwell 52 The anti Hanna
combine then completed the organiza-
tion of the house, electing John p.
Griffith speaker pro TEN, and Chas. II.
Gerrish chief clerk. The remainder
of the preliminary business was tgans-
acted without much trouble
In the senate the Hanna Republicans
felt sore. One of the first things to be
considered was the appointment of
joint committee on arrangements for
the Inauguration of the governor.
When this joint resolution came up in
the senate, the Hanna Republican SEN
ators declined to vote on account of
their opposition to Gov. Bushnell The
resolution was adopted by the Demo-
cratic side of the senate chamber, as
sisted by Senators Shepard and Weight
man, Republicans, and Senator Voigt,
fusionist This action of the senate
caused quite stir about the state
house.
In the senate the combine controHed
everything on all votes, but no test

the organization was completed The
feeling that had been engendered in
the preliminary conference was shown
in all roll-calls. The feeling on the
Republicans sides of both houses was
intense. Senator Garfield was clerk of
the senate till it was organized, and
he was very emphatic in his utterances.
The result OF the organization of the
legislature again revived the rumors
that the Hanna men would now com
bine with the gold Democrats for the
election of Calvin S. Brice as a gold
standard man, rather than have Bush
nell and McKisson elected for the long
and short terms as silver Republicans.
This is denied by Hanna men however,
who claim that there are yet battles to
be fought and won and they felt that
by the time for holding the joint sena-
torial caucuses and the joint ballOting
for senator the voice Of the Republi-
cans throughout the state rising in
protest against the combine would
cause enough of the opposition TO come
over to the Hanna standard to insure
his reelection to the senate. They at
once carried the war into the home
counties of the "bolters.

Spanish onicers IN Cuba About to Give Up

Havana: The campaign of Gen. Pando
with the best of the Spanish army in
Cuba has been brought to an abrupt
halt in the east owing to the impossi-
bility of continuing an aggressive cam
paign in default of the receipt of sup
plies and munitions repeatedly de-
manded from the government. The
general and his staff have left the
scene of operations on the Cauto river
for Santiago City, where it is said,
their intention is to take ship and re-
turn to Havana to impress upon Capt
Gen. Blanco the utter futility of max
ing any impression on the rebel strong
hold in the east until the Spanish
forces are re-enforced and supplied
with all essentials to carry on a cam
paign. He declares that he has no
base of operations, the insurgents con-
troll being so complete that it is impos-
sible TO convey supplies to Spanish col
umns operating in the interior of the
province.

Ont. During "A Big Political Meeting.
After warm election at London,
Ont, large crowd gathered in the
city hall to listen to speeches from the
successful candidates, which has long
been the local custom. About $500
people had crowded their way into
the room and there was consider
able enthusiasm, which was suddenly
interrupted by one of the most terrible
calamities in the history of the city.
While a speaker was being applauded
section Of the floor in front of the
platform for the speakers and immedi-
atelv above the city engineers Office
gave way without warning and fully
100 persons were tumbled into sort
of funnel shaped trap which proved to
be "a dcath-trap for over one-fourth of
them, for an immense safe and heavy
steam coil, weighing half a ton, top
pied over into the hole crushing at
least 30 to death and injuring nearly
all OF the others. Although the plat
form on which the speakers were
standing was apparently the first thing
TO give away, the mayor-elect and
many alderman escaped the death that
overlook so many others who followed
them into the lower portion OF the
building.

We Should Take "A Hand In China.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, of the
committee on foreign relations, says
that it would be impossible for the
United States to remain complacent
should European nations undertake
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China. If par
tition involves the abrogation of treat
les, this country would be left to make
terms again with each European nation
separately IN accordance with territory
to which its sovereignty extends.
Therefore, unless the powers now am
bilious for territorial extension take
into account the Importance of Amer
lean commercial relations with China,
it will be necessary for the govern
ment to intervene in self-de fense.
Foreign diplomats at Washington, it
is reported, are much concerned over
the movements of their respective gov
ernments in the far east.

a Civil Service squabbIe.

Treasury officials have dismissed
Deputy Collectors Finster and Muir, of
Port Huron, for alleged violation of
the civil service law in con tributing to
a political fund. The funny part of it
is that Collector Avery, who COM
planned of them is said to openly defy
the civil service law. Trouble is very
likely TO occur as result of discharg-
ing of Messrs Muir and Finster. The
civil service commission is getting after
Collector Avery as it is said that these
deputies were promised immunity from
the charge now made against them
when they testified against their
former superiors, Messrs. Springer and
Turney last year.

Is Secretary sherman About to Resign

Is Secretary Sherman About to Resign.
The story that Secretary of State
Sherman is about 70 resign, the rea-
son now alleged being his enfeebled
condition, making it impossible, after
long public career, to give
further service to the country, and
recognizing the necessity of giving
way 10 a more active man to cope with
the numerous important foreign affairs
which now confront the United States.
1t is pointed out that if we annex
Hawaii there are certain treaties now
existing between that republic and
Japan which will have to be declared
void in the interests of our manufac-
lures, and on the other hand If the
European powers dismember the Chin
ese empire we shall have to demand
that similar treaties which we have
with China shall be continued in force.
The ticlIlish part of the business for
the Mckinley administration is that
if China is seized and Hawaii annexed
very thing that we shall demand of
those who take China. There is no
denying that the President will need a
secretary of state a good deal younger
and more acute than Mr.. sherman to
handle these two propositions and
make each seem right, and maybe that
is why it is being persistently stated
that our ambassador to Great Britain,
Mr.. Hay is TO take Sherman's place.

HARVARD, II; BROWN, 6.
A Poor Showing by the Crimson and No
Excuse Tor 1t.

Boston. Nov. 13.-Harvard made a
poor showing in her game with brown
at Soldiers field, yesterday, and though
it had a partly substituted team there
was but one substitute in the line, 50

its egregious weakness on the defence.
In the first half Brown waitZed down
the field from the center, pusnlhs
through the crimson trocha as IL II were
so much tissue paper, and but Tor
close decision of Referee Dick waters
would have scored a touchdown on
straight line bucking.
The weakness of the line was also
shown by Browns breaking through TO
block two of Cochrane's kicks at tre-
mendous cost to the Crimson. The hrst
time this gave Brown her touchdown,
and the second time it spoiled Coch-
rane's attempt at goal from the field
Again Harvard's defence showed up
poorly when two trick plays round the
ends founa Harvard men mapping, and
each time netted over 80 yards before
the play was stopped
And in offensive work also Harvard
showed up even more poorly thah AZ
the defensive. Her first two touch
downs would not have been scored eA-
cept fer brilliant individual runs or
over SO yards by Swain after catching
punt. On each run he was unaided
by interference and got the bail within
striking distance of Browns goal,
where scoring became a matters of
few lunges at the line by Boai and

The third touchdown was earned by

THE SIMPLEST CURE FOR INDIGESTION.
As Well as the Safest and Cheapest.

The new medical discovery, Stuart.s
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food in
stead of making the worn out stomach
DO all the work, give it much needed
rest, and a cure of dyspepsia is the
natural result.
You get nourishment and rest at the
same time because these Tablets win
thoroughly digest all wholesome food
taken into the stomach whether the
stomach works or not. A cure is GER
tain to result because the digestive or
gans are given chance to rest and
recover their natural vigor and tone.
The Tablets are then no longer re-
quired.
To show the manner in which the
remedy acts on different people and
how quickly and effectually it cures
stomach troubles we present a few re-
cent cases.
Mr.. j. Q. Wondly of Peoria, Ills,
writes: I was unable to eat anything
