A PRETEXT TO INTERFERE.

Spaniards in Cuba Opposed to Relief
From the United States.
MADRID, Jan. 13. "A dispatch to The
Impartial from Havana says the send
ing of supplies from the United States
to aid the INDECENT population of Cuba
has aroused deep animosity among the
Spaniards, who, it is alleged, "are in
censed at the pretext thus given to the
American consuis and the Yankee ele.
ment to interfere in Cuban affairs"
1t is further asserted that the Ameri-
can newspaper correspondents have
been instructed to exaggerate the snf-
ferings Of the peasantry in order to
again arouse public feeling in the
United States, so as to provide Wash
ington with an excuse to intervene.

ON JOINT BALLOT
Hanna Held All His Strength,
Though He Did Not Gain
Any Votes.
Plenty of Interest Displayed but
the Excitement of Tuesday
Was Wanting.
Attempt to Delay Action by
Investigation Resolutions
Failed.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 13.-The strain
of the long drawn out and stubbornly
fought contest for the Ohio senatorship
has ended, and Columbus has begun to
settle back into its usual condition.
The visiting politicians have mostly
gone home, though some still remain.
The legislature will now settle down to
the transaction of the business of the
state, but the bitter campaign will no
doubt leave it's impress upon the legis-
lation enacted.
When the two houses met in joint
session for the election of senator the
the atmosphere had considerably cooled,
though there was still much interest in
the proceedings. The general opinion
was to the effect, however, that the
Joint ballot would show no change
from the total figures as announced
after the separate ballots of Tuesday.
The result proved that this was cor
rect view. Representative Cramer was
still too i'll to attend the session, so the
total vote cast was but IA. The senate
roll was first called and it resulted in
II votes being recorded for Hanna to
~ for McKisson. The house vote was
also unchanged, the announcement
showing that Hanna had Sc votes to 81
for the opposition.
McKisson Secured Seventy Votes.
The vote of the house was the same
as that on separate ballot with the ex-
ception that Hazelet who voted then
for Warner, voted with the other Dem
ocrats for McKisson. General Acquilla
Wiley was the only Democrat not vot-
ing with the coalition and he voted
again for Congressman Lentz. Lieuten-
ant Governor Jones announced the
result of the joint ballot as
Hanna IS; McKisson 10, Lentz l,
absent /, and declared M. A. Hanna
elected senator for the unexpired term
ending March 4, 1880.
Owing to the cheering and noise, the
chair allowed the jollifiers to retire be-
fore the less exciting vote for the long
term was begun.
The ballot for the long term pro-
seeded without much interest being
manifested.
The result for the long term was the
same as that of the short term Cen
eral Wiley again voted for Lentz-
After Hanna was declared elected
senator for the long term, pandemo-
MUM reigned supreme in the hail of
the house. The galleries were wild, and
the senators and representatives par
ticipated in the demonstration.
A motion Of Senator Alexander
was unanimously carried, and a COM
mittee of five was sent to escort Sena-
tor Hanna to the hall. The galleries,
hobbies and others loudly shouted for
Vivi V 1e for the committee to escort
Senate Lama to the hall.
There was an attempt made in both
houses to delay the election of senator
by motions tor an investigation of
bribery charges, but all failed. The
The investigation may come later, and
1T it does come many sensational de-
yelopments may be looked for.

DAVIS ON THE TREATY.

Minnesota Senator Speaks for Hawaiian
Annexation.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Except for
few minutes given to controversy
over some minor postoffice confirma-
tions,' the entire time of the executive
session of the senate was consumed by
Senator Davis of Minnesota in speech
in support of Hawaiian annexation.
Mr.. Davis is chairman of the senate
committee on foreign relations and his
speech was generally accepted as the
semi.offcial utterance of the majority
of the committee. He spoke about two
he had not finished. The speech was
the first on the merits of the treaty and
on this account and because of the
known fact that Senator Davis had
made very

he received the undivided attention Of
the members of the senate regardless Of
individual views. AS the speech was
delivered behind closed doors verba-
tim report could not be secured. The
portion of the speech delivered con-
sisted of a review of the relations be-
tween this country and Hawaii during
the history of these islands and was in
tended to show that the United States
had exercised fostering and protecting
care over them from the beginning,
with many evidences of the intention
to ultimately making them an integral
portion of the American domain.

THE APPROPRIATION MADE.
Attack ON Civil Service In the House Re.
suited in Nothing.

Attack on Civil Service In the House Re.
suited In Nothing.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The civil
service debate which was inaugurated
in the house week ago has ended. It
opened with row but ended very
tamely. There was not even vote on
the appropriation in the Legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill for the commission, upon which
the debate was precipitated. The Re-
publicans who are seeking to modify
or repeal the law decided to let the de-
bate come to a close, but it required the
casting vote of the speaker to accom-
plish this. There are conflicting state
ments as to the situation in which the
future conduct of the war against the
civil service law is left. All the Re-
publican opponents of the law agree
that the fight is to be kept up, and it is
positively stated by Mr.. Pearson (Rep.,
N. O. that
Assurances Have Been Received
from those in authority in the house
that an opportunity will be given in
the future for the consideration of a
bill to modify the law, but from other
sources the statement cannot be con-
firmed.
The debate was quite dull until the
closing hour, when Mr.. Simpson. the
Kansas Populist, enlivened it with
some references to the Ohio senatorial
election. Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader, made a clear statement of the
minority position, which indicates that
the minority will vote to repeal but not
to modify the law. The principal
speech of the day was made by Mr..
Brosius, chairman Of the civil service
committee, who defended the law ID a
two hours speech.
