apart, hands were sawed off. Even the
conscience of a Nero would have burned
at such scene.
For day and a half the massacre
continued. Then the killing ceased;
there was no one left to Kill.
The following morning the desola-
ton was ghastly. Wherever the eye
locked II saw smoke. ruins. blood frag-
ments of food. tattorcd garments,
broken costly furniture. rich orna-
ments, jewels--all kinds of scattered
wealth in confused piles. And about
each heap of what had been beautiful
home stood a group of survivors
emerged from hiding, their souls scared
with agony Until now these survivors
had been terrified. Thov had no time
for tears. But now their fear had
abated: they began to realize their be-
reavement, their loneliness. For the

had survived all they had possessed in
the world; mothers widowed. childless,
penniless, staring at vacancy; little

bite of hunger. They sobbed for bread.
PBut all the bakeries had been demol-

an appearance of sympathy, were
bringing loads of bread thru the ruins
The children were served first. They
seized the bread eagerly. A few mo-
ments later they fell by hundreds to the
ground, screaming in agony. Lord of
hosts the men and women cried our

iunocents were soon dying.
Next appeared wagons filled with
good bread brought in by Jews from
the neighboring towns. This bread was
divided so that each person should re-

HANNA's BIG FIGHT.
Ohio Senator Engaged in Struggle
for His Political Life.

for His Political Life.
Chicago, May 23.-Walter Wellnan,
in y. Washington special to the Record
Herald, says:
Mark Hanna is engaged in what may
be termed a struggle for his political
life. This year he is to wage cam
paign for recollection to the senate and
his enimies, chief among whom is Sen
ator Foraker. are trying to defeat MN.
AS is usually the case, Mr.. Foraker
does not come out into the open, put
is fighting under cover. SO far as all
outward appearances go the two SEN
ators from Ohio are on friendly foot
ing. But actually they hate one an
other like poison. Most of the hatred
is on Forakers side because he is jeal-
Gus of Hanna's success in the senate.
Mr.. Foraker is man of great ability.
AS a public speaker he easily outshines
his colleague. Judging from the attain
ments and character of the two men,
most observers were willing to predict
that Foraker would easily be the lead
ing senator from Ohio. But 1T has not
turned out that way. The senate is a
body in which greatest influence is ac-
quired in the cloak rooms ana not on
the floor 1t is in the cloak room
that is to say, in council-that Hanna
is strong. Probably nine out OF ten
good Judges of the relative standing
of men in the senate if asked who is
the most influential man In that BODY,
would reply: "Aldrich of Rhode IS
land" and probably seven OF the ten,
If asked who is next to him, would say:

Mr. Foraker is disappointed because
his colleague is bigger man in the
senate than he is. 1t was largely his
pique and the fact that he has never
been admitted to the inner council OF

Maker Of Internal Machine Believed to

whether the supposed dynamiter has
any of his friends with him or not is
unknown to the police.
Detective Arthur Carey, of New YORK,
came on here from the east on lniornaa-
ton supplied by the local police.
1t is said that Rosseau lived IN the
shadows of Browns gulch for several
weeks. Following the purchase OIL the
battery which was to have eXpioueo

big steamer, Rosseau Il said TO nave

His uncommunicativanes caused
some comment among those who saw

Now the police assert the mar spent
his time in seclusion in carrying out

der case of Harry Hortman, of Chef-
okee, which has been filed with the
supreme court on his appeal case, Judge
Wakefield, of Sioux City, has his doubts
about hanging being any worse than
sentence of life imprisonment. He had
no precedents to guide him in passing
sentence on Hortman. The capital pun
ishment law places in the hands of the
jury the right to fix the death penalty.
Hortman had pleaded guilty. The
court took evidence to determine in
his own mind the severity of the SEN
tence. He decided that the case was
one calling for the severest punishment
provided by law. Right there, accord
ing to his own statement made in de-
livering sentence, the court was puz-
zled for there was nothing in the law
to indicate that the lawmakers regarded
hanging as worse than life impris-
onment and the judge was rather IN
clined to the view that life IN the
penitentiary would be greater punish
ment than quick conclusion by the
moose But out of Difference to public sen
timent. which regards hanging as the
acme of punishment, he sentenced
Hortman to be hanged. II he had con-
suited Hortman he might have done
differently. 1t is plain that Hortman
regards hanging as little too much,
for he has appealed the case on the
ground that his lawyer misled him as
to the way he would be punished for
his crime.
The New York World few days ago
contained an extended Des Moines news
story having to do with the political
fortunes of Gov. A. B. Cummins. which
contained such an abundance OF
egregious errors. that the governor was
forced to smile audibly when he read
the same. The article stated that Gov.
.Cummins is married but without chill
dren-and his friends in the east are
writing him to explain his family AMI
his unusually bright grandson. The
article stated that the governor is
deyout member Of the Episcopal
church Now the governor is along
way from being an Episcopalian, his
church connection being with the Con-
regationalists, tho he has never pro-
fessed to be jealous in religion. The
article was filed with similar misin-
formation, and it is almost inconcefv-
able that anyone in Iowa should have
palmed off such stuff on a newspaper
generally regarded as reliable In Its
news matter.

POPS WILL NOMINATE.
Marion Butler Says They Will Have
Presidential Candidate,

Washington. May 2S,-Former SEN
ator Marion Bus1er, chairman of the
national populist executive committee,
does not believe that populists gener-
ally will support President Roosevelt
in the campaign next year.
There may be individual cases..
said Mr. Butler last night, where pop
ulists or members of the peoples party
will support Mr.. Roosevelt for the
presidency, but members of the party
generally will not follow the lead of
the candidate of either the republican
or democratic party.
The democrats are going to nominate
a man of the Cleveland type. and that
will make the populists thruout the
country more loyal than ever to their
principles and will cause their num-
bers to grow. The present situation
makes it certain that the populist party
will put candidate in the field for the
presidency"

Senator Hanna realizes that he has

his friends that he will win 1t. He
knows Foraker is against him more

senator will do everything in his power
to stir up trouble and try to drive
Hanna out Of the field and out of pub

other political campaign after this one
is over. AS he says: II intend to whip
'em out even if resign my seat next
day." But of course he has no inten.-
ton to resign. That is only his way
of putting it.

STRIKE is PROBABLE
General Managers of Reads Entering
Chicago Will Refuse to Grant the De-
mands Of the Freight Handlers.

Chicago, May 23.-Tke general man
ayers of the various railroads entering
Chicago would not commit themselves
today by expressing an opinion on the
subject of the demands made by their
freight handlers. They have not yet
returned any answer 10 the demands
and would not state the nature of the
reply that will be given. 1t is evident,
however. from their demeanor their an
swer will be refusal to grant the con-
cessions asked. The general managers
evidently expect a strike and are pre-
pairing to meet 1t, should it occur. The
present attitude OF their employees is
considered by them unreasonable. In
view of the adjustment made nine
months ago.
