The first contest came on the election
OF a temporary secretary. The dele

unfair treatment and the result was
that Delegate Cooke and "a of his friends
left the room. The Williams delegates
elected Christopher Callahan of Holyoke

Piano Practice.

The poor girl who is forced TO practice
on the piano two or three hours day may
take heart and hope. She has a friend in
tho world of music. He is n power among
pianists, and one of his distinguished pu-
pills Is no less a celebrity than Paderewski.
Leschetizky, for that is his simple name,
docs not believe in long hours. A pupil
may practice Two hours n day if she cares
10, but one hour of good work is in his
opinion sufficient. This is certainly de-
lightful news and would surely horrify the
professors of the Berlin Conseryatorium
where 10, II and Ii hours are considered
none too much for an earnest student.
Lescheti2ky's playing is described as airy,
delicate and beautiful, " and he is the fa-
vorite master in Paris now. He was u pu-

They Insist, However, That They
Still Have Majority.
HIS OPPONENTS LOSING.
CHARGES AND COUNTER CHARGES

Columbus, o., Jan. 10.tThere was no
change i'm the senatorial situation sun
day. The conferences continue day and
night and the doubtful members are
given no rest. The workers for the sena-
tor say they now have enough votes.
The Kurtz workers say they can spare
another vote or two and still defeat
Hanna. but they insist that they have
lost all of their doubtful men now, and
will stand TO the last with at least eight
Republicans and the 65 Democratic MEM
bers against Hanna. They even say
that they expect to get Manuel of Mont
gomery and Griffith of Union back on
their side again before Tuesday, both
having left them Saturday. IL is also
claimed by the opposition that, while
Senator Hanna's forces have been
charging en- their lines, they have been
successfully attacking his lines and have
promises from members on whom the
senator has been depending. The Hanna
men claim two more accessions, but they
will not give any names.
The opposition TO Hanna has no bet
ting yet In its favor. Bets, ranging from
$500 TO $4,000 for even money on Hanna's
election, have remained posted at the
Neil House for two days without TAX
ers, and there are other bets offered,
among them being one OF $500 by General
Grosvenor on Hanna's election None
Of the bets is on the result of the first or
any ballot, but all are offered on the final
result.

While there have been charges and
countercharges Of bribery, there was
considerable stir Sunday over the publi-
cation Of the following in the Cincinnati
Commercial-Tribup and in different
forms In other Republican papers:
While Senator Hanna and his managers
have been careful TO make no improper
hse Of money in the senatorial contest,
they have all along known that the
ethics of the case were'not so strictly OBJ
served by the opposition When an op-
portunty was offered TO get incriminat-
ing evidence against the combine. Mr..
Hanna's managers were quick 10 i'm
prove IT, 4 trap was set for the opposi-
tion and worked through one of the mem
bers whom the combination has been
trying 10 get away from Senator Hanna.
Some OF the opposition kept trying 10 get

was decided 10 accommodate IT, Ac-
cordingly an interview was ARA nged for

tion was equally energetic in rallying all
they could in the different counties for
the morning demonstration. While
the resolutions that will be presented al
the convention will not differ materially
from those heretofore adopted in the
counties. IL is intimated that there will
be one appealing 10 Senator Foraker, as
the senior senator from Ohio, to declare

tone of the resolutions on Governor
Bushnell and the bolting Republican
members of the legi:,ature. and in them

Charles l.. Kurtz as the Ohio member
of the Republican national committee,
but there are differences of opinion
among the Republican managers as 10
the Foraker resolution.
Since tho epidemic Of local Indignation
meetings and the crusade for a general
gathering here today, some of the mana
gers Of the opposition say that two mis-
takes have been made on their side. The
first alleged mistake was in exposing
their strength in organizing the legisla-
ture, and the second in allowing it 10
adjourn from Wednesday till Monday,
so that such members as Manuel OF
Montgomery and Griffith OF Union could
go home and meet their constituents.
IL was thought that the organization of
the legislature would settle things. but il
Is cited that since Mason has been made
speaker he Is calling on Hanna, and since
Griflths has been sworn in as speaker
pro tenn he has come out publicly for
Hanna. Representative Joyce of Guer-
ency, who voted with the combine on
organization, has announced positively
that he will support Hanna. His op-
position was solely against BoXwell for
speaker. Meantime Jones Of Stark.
Radky of Highland, Rulan of Carroll
and other Republicans who voted with
the Democrats last Monday have since
undergone such fire from their constit-
uents that they are expected yet to
square themselves by voting for Hanna.
While there were 10 dissenting Republi-
can members last week, the Hanna men
say there will be only two or three this
week. These changes are attributed
more TO the work that has been done i'm
the counties than here.

January Heat in Australia

A correspondent sends us the following
extract from private letter from Sydney
dated January 18th, in which the writer
describes his experience at Melbourne and
on the passage from there to Sydney:
when we reached Melbourne we found
the thermometer at 10S degrees, with O
good stiff breeze like a blast from fur
mace. The whole country was enveloped in
bush fires, and the sun looked as 1t does In
London through a November fog. The
haze was so great that after proceeding
about two hours on our course through
Hobson's bay we had to drop anchor, as
the pilot could not distinguish the chan
mel. We were thus unable to move until
midnight, which had the effect Of delay
ing our arrival at Sydney. For some hum
dred of miles up the coast the bush Ares
continued to rage. The sight was
curious one, for the ship was invaded by
parrots, cockatoos and other land birds.
which were forced out to sea by the flames
and the intense heat. Many sought refuge
in the ships rigging, where they were pur.
sued by the sailors and passengers, one Of
the former getting his hands severely lac
Grated by parrot who resented any inter.
ference with his liberty. Besides the birdss
burnt leaves. charred wood and small
stones were picked up on deck. although
we were several miles away from land. The
sky was very lurid all the time."-Londou
