SENATOR FORAKER AT HOME.
He Declines to Discuss the Contest for
Legislative Offices

CINCINNATI, Dec. Ex-senator Foraker
arrived home to-day from Washington. He
stated that he would remain here during
the congressional holiday recess and per-
haps longer, and that he would not visit
Columbus. at least not till after the Legis-
lature convened. The caucuses at Colum-
bus for the party nominations for presiding
officers and other legislative positions are
held on Saturday, Jan. 4. and the Legisla-
ture convenes on Jan. 6, the date to which
Congress adjourned. AS Senator Foraker's
successor is TO be elected Jan. Is, the joint
Republican senatorial caucus will be held
during the second week of next month.
While there is no opposition TO the re-
election of Senator Foraker, the fight con-
tinues between his friends and those of
Senator Hanna for the control of both
branches of the Legislature. Senator For
aker was not inclined to discuss the con-
test now being waged at Columbus or its
present prospects, but he insisted that any
one had a right TO be a candidate for any
position and that he, the same others,
had a right TO support his friends. He re-
peated his former declarations as 10 hav-
ing preferences, but refused to specify
again his preferences for the different
places.

Another Denial from Secretary Long

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The impending
changes In the chiefs of the executive de-
partments mean a general reorganization
of the subordinates. In the Postoffice De-
partment there are four assistants. The
first is about to retire. He probably will
be the next senator from New Jersey If
Senator Sewell lives till after Jan. l. On
that day Franklin Murphy will become
Governor, and he will appoint Johnson to
succeed Senator Sewell, who is known to
be fatally i'll. Senator Quay and the rail-
roads will make a fight to hold Mr.. Shall
lenberger in office. He has charge of the
railway mails. If Mr.. Quay's influence is
strong there will be no change here. The
publishers who have suffered by the recent
orders from the third assistant postmaster
general will make a fight against Madden.
This influence is now organizing to move
on Mr. Payne the moment he takes office.
Millions and millions of dollars are in
volved, and a strong fight will be made
The President is back of Mr. Madden, and
he probably will win in the end.
The politicians will make a fight against
the retention of Fourth Assistant Postmas-
ter General Bristow. The President is very
much pleased with the work of Mr.. Bris-
tow, and is disposed to retain him, although
the issue here is somewhat doubtful.
In the Treasury Department General
Sraulding will retire on account of i'll
health. The American Protective Tariff AS
sociation will make an effort to dictate
this assistant secretary. This official has
charge of all customs collections. This
branch of the treasury will be reorganized.
Senator Spooner will make a fight to save
Assistant Secretary Taylor, although the
President is disposed to make a change
here. The youngest assistant secretary is
Milton E. Allies, the Ohio boy who worked
himself up by means of civil-service and
the night law schools TO his present high
place. He formerly was a clerk in the de-
partment. The politicians are after his
scalp because he formerly was a Democrat
The President has not indicated his pref
erence in this matter.
Whenever possible in all these branches
staunch Roosevelt men will be placed on
guard.

KANSAS CITY, Dec. PISA special to the
Star from San Antonio, Tex, says: "By
the burning of the city market house, at
Zacatecas, Mex, fully forty-five lives have
been lost and over a score of persons
seriously injured, some of them so badly
they cannot recover. Fifteen bodies have
been taken from the ruins, and a large
force is at work clearing away the debris
in order to recover others, though there is
no hope that any Of those caught in the
collapse of the big structure will be found
alive. 1t is impossible at this time to learn
the names of the victims. Among those
caught in the collapse were several of the
minor officials charged with the manage
ment of the building.
1.-The market house was one of the larg
est buildings in Zacatecas, and was owned
by the city It's lower portion was COM
posed chiefly of cold storage cellars, in
which local merchants stored their perish
able goods, and it was in the basement sec
ton that the fire originated. The flames
had gained such headway when discovered
that the entire building was seen to be
doomed, and the efforts of the firemen and
citizens were directed toward saving goods
from the storage compartments in the base
ment and on the first floor. Hundreds Of
men were formed into gangs, and were
busily engaged in the work of saving goods
when the entire superstructure, weakened
by the rapidly spreading flames, collapsed
without a moments warning, crushing and
burylng dozens of those engaged in the
work of salvage. Those who escaped un-
injured from the blazing ruins were so
panicstricken it was some time before an
organized attempt at rescue could be made,
and in the meantime the means ard cries of
could be heard. Many of them begged to
be killed before the fire could reach them,
as they saw there was no hope of rescue
1.-The fire department is poorly equipped
and the supply of water inadequate, so that
no effective resistance could be offered to
prevent the spreading of the fire, which
tunateS beneath tons or Wreckage. AS
soon as possible an effort was made to get
the bodies of the dead, but the heat drove
back the rescuers for hours, and only fif-
teen of those who were nearest the outer
walls of the building could be removed.
Exactly how many have been killed can
not be known until the ruins COM
pletely cleared away. This work, with the
primitive methods in use, will occupy days.
The market house was one of the hand
somest buildings in the city and was erect
ed only a few years ago by the munich
pality to meet the demands of growing

ALEX. SULLIVAN GUILTY
CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY TO ABET
a FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE,
But Let OF by the Jury with n
Fine of $1,000, Instead of
Penitentiary Sentence.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-The jury in the case
of Lawyer Alexander Sullivan, on trial be-
fore Judge Abner Smith for conspiracy tc
abet a fugitive from justice, came into
court to-day with a verdict of guilty. AS
punishment the jury imposed a fine of
5000. This carries with 1t no prison SEN
tence. States Attorney Barnes demanded
that Sullivan be taken to Jail, but the court
declined to enforce this demand and Sulli-
van was permitted to leave the courtroom
with his attorneys. Sullivan's counsel en-
tered motion for new trial. which Judge
Smith will act upon tomorrow. Should
this motion be overruled, judgment for
5000 will be entered against the attorney
The charges against Sullivan were an
outgrowth of jury bribing scandals involv-
ing the Chicago courts. Former Bailiff Jas.
J. Lynch, the principal prosecuting witness
in the trial of Sullivan, was indicted for
jury bribing in December 1S9S At this
time Alexander Sullivan was the general
counsel for the West Chicago Street-rail-
road Company. Indictments charging brib-
cry at other times were found against
Lynch. He fled to Canada, but was induced
to return Oct. 1. He declared that Sullivan
had induced him to bribe jurors. He told
his story to the grand jury and indictments
for conspiracy to assist and persuade a fu-
gitive from justice to get without the juris-
diction of the court and assisting and per-
suading the fugitive to remain without the
jurisdiction of the court were voted against
Alexander Sullivan. Frederick st. John, Ed
ward Maher and Frank II. Murray. Sepa-
rate trials were granted on motion of
Maher. and Sullivan was the first selected
to make answer in court to the allegations
in the indictment. He was arraigned be-
fore Judge Abner Smith. The trial lasted
four weeks and two days
