IRISH POTATO
Is DOOMED
\ New Plant From Uruguay viii

Food.

Z + d . y.
Washington, May 23.--The good old
Irish potato is doomed. A new vege-
table from Uruguay, which somewhat
resembles i, is to supplant it, and it is
only a matter of a few years when the
potato will join the dodo, the buffalo
and the tempering of the Damascus
blade in obscurity. For lack of a bet
ter name the new vegetable is called the
Uruguay potato.
Consul Haynes, Of the United States,
at Rouen, France, who has reported
the discovery to the state department,
says the plant is cultivated like the COM
mon potato, that its yield is enormous
and that it is not affected by any known
disease. The French National Society
|of Agriculture, writes Haynes, has
adopted the new potato officially and
has imported a great number Of plants
from the Mercedes River in Uruguay
TO give the new industry start

work, which they both knew. With
respect to Herrick it is said that Han
ma was following out McKinley's
wishes in taking care of the present
Governor. There was a demand for
recognition for Warren B. Harding
that was too strong to be overlooked
and it was agreed in the conference
that Herrick should be the nominee
for Governor, with Harding for second
place. There was also a distinct un-
derstanding that Herrick should not
voluntarily relinQuish the Governors
chair, as that would throw the office
into the hands of the Foraker eIe-
ment of the party by making Harding
Governor. There were certain agree
ments to be carried out, and a change
in the Governors Office would
violate these promises, Hanna
was anxious to carry Cuyahoga Coun-
ty and by making the concession TO
his opponents in Hardings nomina-
tion ne believed that he would be able
to do so. For this reason it is be-
Iieved that Governor Herrick cannot
entertain for an instant the idea of
going to the Senate and the Hanna
followers, including Herrick himself,
must support Dick for the Senator
ship. While many names are being
mentioned, all are mere speculatiOns
and those who give the situation seri-
Gus consideration are growing frmer
in the belief that Dick was the man.

Germantown, a Small Station
Six Miles North Of Willows
PASSENGERS ARE UNHURT
Track Is Torn Up for Consider

the Cars Are TOppled Over
SPECIAL plsnateh to The can.

WILLOWS, Feb. 1.-THE oregon ex-
press which left here this afternoon
nj 2:4O. was wrecked at Germantown,
a station six miles north OF here. The
engine. tender. mail and baggage, cars
and two passenger coaches left the
rails. The accident is charged TO an
open switch. The passengers escaped
injury.
The train left here twenty minutes
late in charge Of Engineer Lightper and
Conductor Murray, and eyewitnesses at
Germantown say that they were run
ming faster than usual when they
struck the open switch. The heavy 10
comotive plowed along the ground for
forty yards, carrying with il the other
cars. Ties were ground into kindling
wood. fish plates were thrown yards
away. rails were twisted and some of
them snapped In twain and heavy
braces were torn from their places. The
forward and near trucks Of the tender
were turned half way around and bur
led Ia the dirt, as were the rear trucks
Of the express car. The engine tipped
10 the left and the mail and baggage
cars 10 the right. and a few more
bumps and they probably would have
been thrown on their sides. The
ties and rails Of the tracks on either
side OF the main line were pulled out
Of the ground and over TO the main
track by the jar.
There were many people watching
the approach Of the train and they are
almost unanimous in saying that the
train was running faster than usual
as IL entered the yard.
Engineer Lightner says he had just
whistled for the semaphore and was
running not faster Jhan twenty five
miles an hour.
The passenger coaches were brought
back here by a freight engine. A
Wrecking train from Sacramento and
work train from Red Bluff were tele-
graphed for and section men at Ger
mantown at once began the laying Of
an extra track. It is believed that traf-
fic can be resumed tomorrow in time
for the regular passenger trains.

DICK MAY BE CHOSEN.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 17.-There
is a growing feeling here that the
question of a successor to Senato-
Hanna will not precipitate such a
fight as was expected. 1t is now be-
lieved that when the time for the bal
loting arrives Congressman Charles
Dick will prove to be the man.
The Republicans are expected to
caucus a week from the coming Satur-
day night and it is believed they VIII
decide to elect a Senator for both the
long and the short terms, despite the
fact that their right to elect for the
long term at his ime is questioned
A leader high in the Republican
party to-day told an interesting story
which makes it reasonable to believe
that Dick will be chosen as Senator.
The story as told conforms to Ger
tain known facts. The gentleman
said that week before the last Re-
publican State convention was held in
Columbus conference occurred at a
residence in Akron between Hanna.

the time had misgivings as to the time

isthmus canal in these words:
The Democratic party has been con-
sistent and unremitting in its advocacy
Of an interOceanic canal and has with
the liveliest satisfaction looked forward
TO the day when such a highway OF
commerce, built under the auspices Of
our Government, would be contributed
by America TO the worlds progress and
civilization. 1t is, nevertheless, not
within the mandate Of the Democratic
creed that in cOusummatfng so noble
an enterprise as this the territorial
rights Of any other nation should be
disregarded or that our own national
good faith should be subjected to rea-
sOnable suspicion"
Mr.. Cleveland concludes as follows:
''At such a time as this the Demo-
cratic party cannot undertake the bat
tie of the people, except under a leader
that not only represents its best tradi-
tiOns and purposes. but fully realizes
what is meant by the tremendous is
sues Of the conflict; and his selection
should not depend on such a small con-
sideratiOn as the locality whence he
comes.
The DemOcracy's opportunity is al
ready in sight, but only in a campaign
waged in reliance on the peoples love
of country and devotion and national
morality under leadership that persona
fies the sentiments which would be

Services in Consonance With the Character of the Dead States
Are Held in the Senate Chamber in the Presence of the
Sonowng Relatives Host rief-Sricken Friends

WASHINGTON, Feb. I'm the
presence of the grief-stricken family,
of many friends whose sorrow was
scarcely less pronounced, of the Senate
and House of Representatives, of the
dignitaries from all the other branches
Of the Government and of the chief
official representatives of most of the
foreign powers, the funeral of the late
Senator Marcus A. Hanna occurred to-
day IN the senate chamber, the scene
of his most recent activities and of his
entire official life. The spectacle was
imposing and quite in harmony with
the public estimate Of the great mans
services 10 his country and the world.
The ceremony was dignified and
simple, in consonance with his char
acter, and the Senate chamber lent it
self naturally ~to-the occasion. 1t is
especially barren of decorations, and
the dark furniture, heavy walls and
subdued light were quite in keeping
with the sorrowful proceedings which
were the occasion of the gathering
Seldom has a more distinguished body
Of people been collected in Washing
ton to do honor. either to the living or
the dead, and rarely has there been
witnessed a~more impressive proceed
ing
Without pomp or ceremony the re-
mains were conveyed from the Airing
ton Hotel to the Senate chamber. The
paubearers were composed of a de-
tachment of Capitol police, under the
command Of a lieutenant, and the cor
hxr ,,1a nT
mounted city police.
FLOWERS ENVELOP CASKET.
Throughout the forenoon a number
of friends called at the hotel and were
permitted TO view the remains. The
room in which the dead statesman lay
was so banked with floral tributes as
10 almost hide the casket. Upon the
lapel Of the late Senator's coat was
the insignia of the Loyal Legion and
the casket was enveloped in. a huge
American flag belonging to that or
ganization.
Before the casket was sealed the
members Of the family, with the ex-
ceptiOn of Mrs. Hanna, took a. last
look at the remains.
Not since the Senator passed away
has Mrs. Hanna seen. the remains, pre-
ferring to remember her husband as
in life.
In the front rank of the eminent as
semblage gathered Immediately about
the bier of the departed statesman in
the Senate chamber sat President
Roosevelt. He was flanked by the mem
bers Of his Cabinet all of whom had
been closely affiliated with Senator
Hanna by ties of friendship and posi-
ton. Near by were the Chief Justice
and Associate Justices Of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, garbed IN
their black robes of office, which fitted
well into the scene Of sorrow There
were scarcely any absentees from
among the members of the Senate
Each and all of them were visibly af-
fected and it was not difficult to detect
in their sorrowful countenances the
