Augusta. January l-The Republicans
Of the Aaine Legislature tonight noini-

candide.e to succeed himself in the Senate
OF tn, United States 1t will be Mr.
H1.ie's fourth successive term in the gen
ate and he is the first Maine Senator on
whom that high honor has been conferred.
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin was four times
nominated but not for successive terms.
Besides this exceptional character of the
nomination, other things combined to
make the caucus "a notable gathering.
The talk Of opposition to Mr.. Hale had
increased the usual interest in such an
event and, as result, the Representa-
tives' hall was crowded, the aisles ha!ng
filled with chairs and many Of those
present being obliged to stand. In the
throng were many ladies those who
came In the expectation that the Senator
would refer to the Philippine question
were not disappointed and the speech
which he made left no doubt in the minds
| Of his hearers as to just whers he stood
He declared that he could not vote for a
measure6adding to the territory Of this
county far distant lands peopled by allen
races, adding that If such measure was
adopted, as Republican he should abide
BY the decision of the party. Mr.. Hale
spoke slowly and distinctly. His refer
ences to the members of the Maine dele
CATION were loudly appauded, but when
hs spoke of Senator Frye. the applause
broke several times and there were one or
two cheers mingled with the hand clap
ping. 1t seemed to the auditors that this
sudden increase In the volu me Of the ap-
piause was due TO those " no may have
entertained feelings of dissatisfaction
with the stand taken by Senator Hale In
reference 10 the one st1on Of the hour II
this was so, another thing was equally
significant, for while Mr.. Hale was warm

and began his address the demonstration
at tho close was notably louder and long
or. Senator Hale waited until the out

feet self possession, reincrked: That s

OIdtown, January 4.-The Penobscot
tribe of Indians having formally elected a
governor, inaugurated him tonight with
the usual ceremonies, which included
the administration of the oath Of office
and speechmaking. followed by festivities
which included many of the weird Indian
dances
In the early history of the Penobscot
tribe the whole party meet 60 elect chief,
q ruler or governor. Often times there
were almost as many minds in regard to
whom should be chosen rs there were
the election to end In scenes Of violence.
This became Of SO frequent occurrence
that the legislature of Maine interrosed
to regulate the elections. 1t WAS ordered
that they should occur once In two years
and that first the election should be by
years later the new party should choose
the governor.
This years election was by the new
party and Joseph Frances was elected
governor; John Saul, lieutenant govern
or, and Sebat Shea, representative to the
legislature.
Frances suggested that he be the man to
act as interpreter. Later the short horn
dance. snake dance and many other Indian
dances were in order.
The Inauguration this year Is of more
interest than usual. as the officers are
prominent members Of the tribe. Gov.
Frances Is proprietor of sportsmen's s
camp at Debs oonesg, and owns the best
house on Indian island. His camp is o
fayorite resort for New York and Massa-
chusetts visitors as well as those from

war of the rebellion and is q pensioner
with good record. Shea, the represen-
tativs to the legislature, is one OF the best
conyer ationalists of the tribe.
A guest at this time is MIR. NJ. Cham
berlain, secretary of the Lawrence Scien-
itic school OF Harvard college. who for
wears has been interested in the Indians
of this country.

Chemist Determines the Poison Sent to
MIR. Cornish.

New York, January 4.-Captain Nc
Clusksy said today that he could give out
hothing new about the Adams poisoning
case. He said he saw no reason why the
body Of Henry c barnett should be ex-
humed.
Tho district attorneys office on the
other hand, said an application for the
elimination of this body would probably
be made tomorrow. Barnet, like Cornish
was member of the Knickerbocker
A thletic club and died last November
under what some now claim to be sus-
pi cious circumstances and from, many
allege, the same poison which Mrs.
Adams drank with fatal effects.
From later developments 1t appears that
the police have three men under surveil-
ance and would have arrested one or two
of them had it not been for the fact that
none Of these suspects have light beard.
Miss Miller, the saleswoman who sold
the match holder In Newark, is positisa
that the purchaser had light beard.
Professor Witthaus, who has been
analysing the contents of the bottle out
Of which Mrs. Adams drank made his re-
port to the district attorney today. Prof.
Wltthaus says definitely that the poison
In the bottle sent 20 Cornish was cyanide
cf mercury and that he believes that the
sender Of sthe poison must have been
either Q. enlist or one with an intimate
