AS PEACEMAkER-
When Senator Foraker's friends made
the contest for Shermans seat, Mr. Hanna
again showed his esteem for Sherman, and
became a prominent factor in that fight,
and Sherman won. Hanna, as a peace
maker, afterward extended the hand to
Foraker, and the latter was made Senator
to succeed Brice.
In 1892 Hanna and Mckinley were again
of the big four from Ohio at the Repub-
lican National Convention. An attempt
was again made to stampede the conven-
ton for Mckinley as against the nomina-
ton of Harrison, but ii was promptly
checkmated
denomination of President Mckinley are too
we'll known to require any elaboration
Mr.. Hanna, as the friend and champion
of the President was in the saddle in his
behalf, and the masses of the party were
behind him.
From his advent into the campaign OF
1896. Mr.. Hanna has been persistently mis-
represented, yet he stands the SANDER with
equanimity, and his resentment is rarely
violent He has been the object of abuse
for the opposition, but when asked at differ
ent times TO answer some of the charges
made against him, has invariably replied
"Oh, they are not true. They can't hurt
me. am not candidate" IL Is al
together probable but for the denunciation
and outrageous assaults upon his personal
character and business and political integ-
rity, he would not have been a candidate
for the United States Senate. He felt
and his friends felt that he was entitled
TO vindication. and step by step his public
life and his career. as they become better
known TO the people. are proving his vim
dication. 1t Is mistake to hold or as
sumo that Mr.. Hanna Is wholly and ex-
ceptionally a man OF dollars He has
proved In every station that he Is a man
OF ability, wide versatility and tact. He
is devoid of vanity, easily accessible and
free from the affectation Of indifference.

ANNUITY FOR LILIU0KALANI.
This Proposed Amendment to the Con-
sular Bill Causes a Lively Debate.
The Wise-Y oung Case Discussed.
SENATE.

Washington, March 10.-While the
senate had the diplomatic and consul
lar appropriation bill under consider
alton today, a lively debate was pre-
cipitated by an amendment proposed
by Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
proposing to give former Queen Liliuo-
kalani, of Hawaii $4,000 and an an
nuity of $4,000 The amendment was
tabled finally without division. The
pending bill was passed with a few
minor amendments.
The remainder of the session was
devoted to eulogies Of the late Sena-
tor Haywood, who was elected a SEN
ator from Nebraska, but died before
the opening Of the present session of
congress.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
The house agreed today to take up
the bill providing a government for
Hawaii on April 3rd, the final vote to
be taken on April 5th at O'Clock p. m.
Consideration of the Wise oung
election contest was resumed and oc-
cupied the remainder of the session.
Mr.. Weeks, of Michigan, criticised
election methods in various southern
states and compared them with the
methods in the north. This was Wig
orously resented by Mr.. Cooper. of
leAdS, dIO 1tTTyp Ol kAfhduS>SS
Mr.. Burke, of Texas, presented the
case in behalf of the contestee, Mr..
Young. He said this case amounted to
a proposition to disfranchise a city of
5000 inhabitants, Norfolk, because of
the illegaiity Of not exceeding 140
votes.
Mr. Hull replied to a statement by
Mr.. Burke that Mr.. Hanna, chairman
of the republican national committee,
had held that Mr.. Holland was the
regular candidate of the republicans in
the Second congressional district of
Virginia. Mr.. Hull said that Mr.. Han
ma had made no such decision. The con-
gressional committee had charge of
that matter and had decided that Mr..
Wise was the regular candidate.
The fact was, Mr.. Hull said, that
the republican state organization in
Virginia was anxious to keep the re-
publican party large enough only to
fill the federal offices in the state. To
this end he was satisfied the organi-
cation had interfered against regular
republican candidates for congress, no.
tably in Mr.. Wise s district, and also
in that of Mr.. Walker. He concluded
with the statement that Mr.. Wise was
as regularly candidate of the repub-
lican party as any regular man in the
house.
Mr. Linney, of North Carolina spoke
in support of Mr.. Wise. After analyZ-
ing the case thoroughly, Mr.. Linney
concluded with an appeal to the house
to support the claims of the contest
ant.
At 4:12 o'clock p. m. the house ad-
