Libel Suits Brought Against
 Republican Newspapers of Ohio.
LEGISLATORS TO SQUABBLE
There Win Be Lively Time When the Reorganization of the
 House Is Attempted.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 13.-Senator Hanna and the members of the Legis- lature went home to-day. All will re- turn by Tuesday next. The leaders on both sides are still here preparing for another fight next week.
 The opposition to Hanna was de- feated in his election, but it purposes to fight now against his being seated for the long term. His enemies say they have not the time to interfere on the short term, but they will press the bribery charges as such charges were pressed on Henry B. Payne fourteen years ago to the United States Senate. Subpenas have been issued for Sena- tor Hanna, Major Dick, w. D. Hollen- beck, II. H. BoyCe and others to ap- pear before the Senate committee next Tuesday night. Libel suits have been brought against several Republican newspapers for damages in connection with the bribery charges, notably one by T. C. Campbell for Sl00000 against the Ohio State Journal.
 While the Senate committee, of which Senator Burke is chairman. be- gan Its investigation yesterday, the House committee will not be appointed until next Tuesday. The Otis resOlu- ton was adopted in the House to-day, but Speaker Mason wanted time for the selection of the five men to do the Investigating. AS Speaker Mason is anticipating an attempt to Oust him he is disposed to confer with the mem bers before naming his committee. In the standing committees named by Mason to-day it was seen that he gave the Republicans who voted for Box well good places. But it is said that the latter will not accept the olive branch and that a majority has signed a document to Oust Mason and the other officers.
 Speaker Mason has never missed a moment out of his chair during the sessions of ther past two weeks. As Speaker pro tenn. Griffith is now with the Hanna members Mason knows that in his absence a resolution would be offered and adopted to reorganize the House. As Mason will refuse to recog- nize any one offering such a resolution there are those who expect trouble in the House before the proposed organi- zation is effected.
 Mason was very arbitrary in his rul- ings to-day and the Republican mem bers are ready to resort to desperate As the fusion Republican members from Cincinnati were assured of SUD- port on the Republican side for certain bills for the reorganization of their city their support, with the exception of Otis, is counted on in displacing Ma son. The Democratic side is depended on to support the Cincinnati bills iI any event.

All Connections With the National Committee Are Promptly and
 Forever Severed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


 ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 13.-A new party was born tonight in the confer ence of the Populists and named the Peoples party. The Peoples party proposes to go it alone. It has severed all connection with the National Popu- list committee and made arrangements for administering on its estate without the aid or advice of any outside party. With few exceptions the delegates de- clared themselves unequivocally in fla VOr of going it alone in the future. The referendum system was highly com plimented and recommended for use among the middle of -the-roaders in settling matters of national importance to the order, and there was a practical agreement among the delegates that a national presidential convention should be held this year.
 Resolutions were adopted denouncing fusion and reprobating the treatment accorded Watson in the last campaign.
 A number of rules were adopted for government of the national organizing committee, among them a rule that the national organizing committee shall submit to a vote of the Peoples party any proposition when petitioned to do so by not less than ten thousand mem bers of the party.
 On adjournment of the organization committee of the Peoples party the members of the national committee present met at the Laclede Hotel and adopted the following:
 Resolved, That we, the members of the national committee present, indorse the action taken by the organization committee and recommend that its provisions be carried into effect, be- lieving that such action will harmonize all differences in the party"

BIG ELECTRIC PROJECT.


NeW Iurk anu GulChKOs
WASHINGTON, Jan. Maj. George
B. llibbard, railroad builder Of the
southwest, is here with others inter-
ested in project to build an elevated
railway from New York to Chicago to
be operated by electricity. The CAPT
tai Of the proposed company is placed
at 500, 0OO,O Such western capital
lists as Marshall Field and Z. D. Armour
are said to be backing the project.
The road is TO be in construc-
ton similar to the elevated roads
of New York. 1t will, be built
in lOO-foot spans 1t will run for
the carriage of passengers and express
alone, leaving heavier articles to be
carried by the steam railroads. 1t Is
claimed that on road of this kind 100
miles an hour can safely be made,
thus making the running time be.
tween New York and Chicago about
eight hours 1t Is further claimed
that the cost of this road would be only
about two-thirds that OF surface
road between the same points. Those
interested in this project will, 1t Is
said, appeal to congress for o charter,
1t is their intention to connect other
great cities of the country with these
elevated electric roads and probably q
comparatively short line, say from
Boston to New York, will be the first
to be constructed,

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.

All 500 silver Certificates, Rsr,resentIns
s2d.os3,oO0 In Currency. to lie Called
In.
WASHINGTON, Jan. ALI Of the 500
silver certificates now in circulation
In the United States, representing $685.
600. 900 in currency, have been called
in by Secretary Of the Treasury Gage
For the present the issuance Of such
certificates will be stopped. This or.
der is the result OF the discovery OF
one of the most dangerous counterfeits
ever discovered-one which even
deceived the officials Of the
treasury department here, and
was not discovered until the attention
Of the officials at Washington was
called to the clever imitation Of Q $500
silver certificate, head OF President
Monroe, by John Cramer, Of the SUBJ
treasury at Philadelphia. Mr.. Cramer
brought to the secret service officers
the counterfeit certificates, five in mum.
ber These bills had been turned into
the sub-treasury by two leading banks
and the Philadelphia custom house,
which had received them as genuine.
In view Of the dangerous character
Of the counterfeit, Secretary Gage de-
cided to stop issuing and to call in all
500 silver certificates. These will be
exchanged for silver certificates Of
smaller denominations, and the plates
destroyed. As soon as new plates can
be engraved new series will be issued.
Assistant treasurers at all of the SUBJ
treasury cities will be requested to
send to the treasury in Washington all
500 silver certificates in their posses
sion, and to request all banks, trust
companies and other moneyed institu-
tions to do the same.
Secretary Gage desired the statement
made that in his judgment it was un-
safe for business men or Others to ac-
cept silver certificates of this denomi-
nation, and in case any were now on
hand they should be sent to the banks
for transmission to Washington

The election OF q United States
senator seems now to depend upon the
democrats. The anti.Hanna repub.
licans have accomplished all that
Charles L. Kurtz promised. They have
secured enough Of the republican
members Of the legislature to stand
against Mr.. Hanna-united with
the democratic minorty.-to de-
feat him. Will the democrats be able
to control their entire force and
deliver it to Mr.. Kurtz to be used in
an anti-IIanna republican,
This is the great question now. An
other minor question is whether Mr..
Kurtz will be able to keep his men in
line. The Hanna managers are ar
ranging to bring tremendous pressure
to bear upon the boilers.
