Senator Hanna's Condition


Washington, d. c., Feb. l5.-Motion-
less as the dead, Senator Hanna lies at
the Arlington breathing out the last
hours of his life. The efforts made in his
behalf by science seem to have ended
in defeat The end cannot be long de-
ferred. For the last twenty -four hours
the physicians have realized that hope
was lost, but, in spite of the nearness of
the inevitable, they continued their
efforts. The Senator's body is now rid
died with the punctures made by the
hypodemic needle.
At 2:9O this morning the third sinking
spell since Saturdays dawn came to the
patient.
The doctors at o'clock this morning
issued bulletin saying; "Since 3. a. m.
Senator Hanna has slowly lost ground
and is no longer able to take nourish-
ment by the mouth. His temperature
is not so high, but his pulse has become
more rapid and weaker and his respira-
ton has increased in frequency"
DR.. Rixey came out of Senator
Hanna's room at 9:10 a. M, and said:
at is only question of little while
now" The doctor left the hotel to
answer an urgent call and said he would
return in few minutes.
Word reached DR.. Osler during the
morning that his mother, WHO'S SO years
old, is lying critically i'll at her home in
Canada. He was obliged to 60 to Balti-
more to visit several very urgent cases,
and, when he left.the hotel, expressed
the fear that his mothers illness would
call him to Canada. If be does not re-
turn to the Arlington his treatment will
be carried out just as though he were
present.
During the morning nearly all the
members of the Cabinet called at the
hotel, as did also a number of Senators.
1:35.-Dan r. Hanna, son of the
Senator, who has just come from the
sick room says: 'The pulse can still be
detected"
l:52.-"He is breathing his last. I"
These are the words of DR.. Rixey, who
has just left the hotel. His departure
is an indication of the complete aban-
donment of Eope.
At 2:20 Medill Mccormick, the Sena
tors son-in-law, said that while the
patient was still very perceptibly weaker,
there really had been very little change
during the last two or three hours. He
said: n would not be surprised if he
were olive for three or four more hours"
2:4S. Gov. Herrick announced the re-
turn from Baltimore of DR.. Osler. "The
doctors mother is much BETTER" said
Gov. Herrick, "and he will stay at the
hotel until the end" The Governor
said that he believed Senator Hanna
might survive several hours.
At four O'Clock Senator Hanna was
still alive.

Russian Gallantry.

A dispatch from Chemulpo gives an
account of the destruction of the Russian
cruisers Variag and Korietz. The Japa-
nese feet, commanded by Admiral Uriu,
on the flagship Adneuma, arrived at noon
and sent wireless telegram to the Japa
nese cruiser Chigoda, which was lying at
anchor between the Variag and Korietz,
to join the feet outside. The Russians
found themselves trapped.
Admiral Uriu then signaled, giving
the Russians five minutes in which to
surrender. The Russians ignored the
demand, and the japanese opened fire.
A brisk engagement lasting two hours
followed. The Russian vessels, getting
the worst of an encounter in which the
odds were overwhelmingly against them,
steamed back into the harbor. The
Variag, which was badly injured, listed
heavily.
For two hours the Russians attempted
to break through the japanese feet
which was encountered four miles from
the inner harbor. The KOrietz was
blown up, presumably by its own crew,
in order to escape capture. A portion
of the crew was rescued by the French
and Italian vessels in the harbOr. The
Variag tried to escape, but suddenly
an explosion was heard and she was
seen to sink. Whether she was sunk
by japanese she'll or by her own crew
is not known. The United States gun
boat Vicksburg and the British cruiser
Talbot witnessed the battle.
A fine episode in the battle was the
second sortie of the two Russian cruisers.
With bands playing the national anthem
and the international feet loudly cheer
ing the gallantry of the Russians, the
Variag and Korietz faced the japanese
feet in what was certain death.
The positions of the wreck appear to
be such that it will be easy to recover
the guns. Tie Russian losses were one
officer and 40 men killed and AGA
wounded.

SENATOR MARTIN FOR GOOD
ROADS.


Senator Martin favcrs legislation pro.
viding for national aid in the permanent
improvement of the roads of the coun
try. He has devoted much thought to
the subject, and is satisfied that the gen.
eral government should take it up and
begin as soon as possible to improve the
highways of the entire country.
In the course of a conversation at the
Capitol on Saturday, the Senator said
II am heartily in favor of the passage
of bill giving federal aid to the con-
struction of a good system of permanent
roads. do not understand why refer
ence is constantly made to Mr.. Brownlow
in this connection. Mr.. Brownlow did
not originate the idea of federal aid for
the construction of good roads, nor did
he originate legislation looking to that
end. Several times in past years bills
have been introduced with this object,
and then seemed to attract little atten-
ton. Senator Manderson, of Nebraska,
and Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania,
have proposed legislation of this charac-
ter, and the late Peter J. Otey, of the
Sixth Virginia District, introduced bill
on the 18th of March, 1902, providing for
federal aid in the construction Of sys-
tenn of good roads in this country, and
to him should be accorded the credit of
reviving the subject in Congress in re-
cent years. The bill which he intro
duced was very comprehensive meas
ure. 1t attracted wide attention and
was very generally discussed in the press
of the country. After the death of Maj.
Otey, Judge William F. Rhea, who was
then representative from the Ninth Vir-
ginia District, introduced practically the
same measure on the 9TH of May, 1902.
''The Brownlow bill came after these
bills, and after Judge Rhea had retired
from Congress. The first Brownlow bill
was introduced November 10, 1908. The
provisions of the bill. however, appear to
have been entirely unsatisfactory, and sew
eral others on the same subject have been
introduced in each branch of Congress.
The bill which now seems to be attract
ing most attention and to be the most
satisfactory is the one introduced some
weeks ago by Senator Latimer, of South
Carolina. However, none of these bills
has yet: been reported from the COM
mittees to which they were referred, and
l have no doubt they will be materially
changed in committee.
"The subject is certainly attracting
great deal of attention in Congress, and
even more throughout the country. lam
in constant receipt of letters from Vir-
giniaus urging me to give my support 10
a good road bill. feel the proposition
is one of deep interest to the people of
the country, and is certainly of great
to their welfare. am my
self in thorough sympathy with the object
sought by the bills, and will do all in
my power to perfect measure and pass
it through the Congress, giving liberal
aid for the purpose of constructing
system of good and permanent roads.
believea bill of this character will event
ually meet with approval and pass both
branches or yonOress -
