POLITICAL FIGHT PREDICTED.
Sion. Of Another Struggle Between
1 Hanna and Foraker.

Hanna and Foraker.
wahsington. D. c., Dec. 9.-There are
.;yna of political difficulties in Ohio
,a,h,ch may involve a rupture between
senators Foraker and Hanna. Two
4 Years hence Senator Hanna will be q
candidate for reelection, but the nrst
skirmish in his campaign Will nave 70
be fought this winter in Columbus.
Charles L. Kurtz, under the guise VI
heinp personal representative OF Sena-
TOR Foraker, is laying the foundation for
a scheme by which he hopes to defeat
Senator Hanna. This involves the con-
troll of the organization OF the ONO leg
,s,ature, Kurtx favoring one slate ana l!.
Hanna another. That favored by Sena-
tor Hanna is as follows:
For speaker OF the house, George T..
THOMAS. OF Norwaik, or W. S. Mckin-
non. OF Ashtabula. For clerk of the
house, Newton NJ Miller. OF Delaware,
or Burgess L. McElroy, of Mount Yer
non. For president pro tenn OF the sem
ate, Nicholas Longworth. of Cincinnati
For clerk of the senate. William B. Uni,
OF Cleveland.
The Kurtx slate Is as follows: For
speaker of the house, Aaron E. Price, OF
Athens. For clerk of the house, Harley
". Speelman, OF Marietta For prest-
dent pro tenn of the senate. Frank Is.
Archer, OF Bellaire. For clerk OF the
senate, r. e. Scogey. Of Troy.
II Kurtz succeeds he will have re-
gained some OF the influence he exerted
q few years ago. It is expected Senator
Foraker will throw the weight of his in
fluence in favor OF Kurtz's slate. This
does not signify that there will be
breach between the two senators, as
Senator Hanna says he has no fight
with his colleague, but is after the scalp
Of Kurtz.
Senator Foraker said Saturday night
he and Senator Hanna are on the best
OF terms personally and they have no
difficulty whatever.
'.I have only had conference or two
with Mr.. Hanna said Senator Foraker.
'in which the organization of the legis-
lature was discussed. They were per-
fectly amiable and closed with mutual
good feeling. SO far as know. We
simply decided to favor our friends in
the pending election of officers in the
legislature. He has his friends and
have mine. It was no more than natural
that each should wish to take care OF
his own
Nevertheless Ohio politicians are
watching the situation with some fear
Of rupture, but hope 1t will be ayerted.

been thrown and killed. No one saw the
accident.

ance President Roosevelt will probably
name such board for Mr.. Carnegie. or
at least set in motion the machinery
which shall lead to national organiza-
ton.
Mr. Carnegie is expected here today
or on Tuesday, and fuller details of this
gigantic enterprise will soon become
public.
Nicholas Murray Butler. who has sue
ceeded Seth Low at the head of Coium-
bia College. has been here for two days,
guest of President Roosevelt at the
white house, and he has aided in per-
fecting the plans. Mr.. Butler left for
New York at o'cock Sunday afternoon,
and before going refused to give any
particulars beyond the information that
an announcement would be made on
Tuesday at the white house. Mr.. Butter
has long been one OF the foremost
champions of university extension, and
it is understood Mr.. Carnegie has had
frequent consultations with him con-
corning the enterprise.
According to the plans prepared oy
Mr.. Carnegie and his advisers, the ma
tional organization is to have its head
quarters in Washington, but its opera
tions are to extend thruout the United
States. the work to be carried on in CO.
operation with universities everywhere.
What will amount to a great national
university, with it's seat at Washington.
may in time grow out of the enterprise.
Some doubt exists as to the sum which
Mr. Carnegie is willing to devote to this
great work hear from one source that
The amount is s10,OOoOoo: from another
that. while the sum to be given outright
may not be as large as that, the ulti-
mate outlay, to be guaranteed by the
great ironmaster will be much larger.
Accordingly send the figure of slo,-
600, 900 under some reserve, but enough
:s known to make 1t certain that the an
nouncement to be made at the white
house on Tuesday will be the most inn
portant event to the cause of popular
education in America In many years.

III IuZOns
White Sulphur Springs, Mont. Dec. g..
The fate OF George Hayes and party
of three prospectors who left here to
prospect in the Philippines in 1899 has
been revealed in letter just received in
the city. The party has been missing
since March, 1900, and every effort to
locate them has been futile up to this
time. Rev. J.. C. Lenhart, formerly a
minister at Hawaii, residing at Manila,
was induced by friends OF the missing
men to take up the search. Diligent in
auiry on his part disclosed the fact that
the party, disregarding the warnings of
the military not to venture beyond their
lines of defense, had gone into the
mountains of central Luzon. Later the
bodies of the four men We're found liter
ally chopped to pieces by bolomen. The
heads and arms We're severed from the
bodies and We're otherwise horribly mu
tilated. Hayes and James Brown were
