AS I understand It, Senator German Is careful not to say that he is himself op- posed to Parker or for Towne Senator German has not given up all hope of getting the nomination for himself He Is playing a shrewd game, as usual. He tried to use Tammany to prevent Parker instructions in New York He induced Colonel Guffey to withhold instructions In Pennsylvania. He coddied Mayor Me Clellan as a Presidential possibility for time. and now he suggests Towne. It Is obviously Senator Germans purpose to do everything in his power to keep the nomination at St. Louis an open uues- tion. If he can check the Parker move ment and insthe end break 1t down there may be a chance for himself. When 1t comes to convention politics and combi- nations and maneuveripg Senator Cor man plays skillful hand. And he will be at St. Louis, busy as a beaver day and night
 The friends of Judge Parker have been confident they had the winner. But they are not yet out of the woods Unless they can find the means of winning Tam many's loyal support Leader Murphy and all his braves are likely to go to St Louis talking like this 'Oh. yes we are in- structed for Parker. and Parker Is a good man-no objection to him personal ly. But, if you want to make sure of New York State, nominate Charley Towne."
 And in the end Senator German hopes to form combina tion between the South and Tamfnany, not for Towne nor Mo Clellan, nut for Arthur Pue German.

THREE LIVES LOST.
Wreck of the Schooner Howe at
Seaview, Wash.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 2s.-A special to
the Oregonian from Astoria says:
The American schooner Frank w.
Howe owned at Boston, Mass, and OF
her way from Ballard, Wash, to San
Pedro with a cargo of railroad ties,
went ashore at Seaview, Wash. She
now lies in the breakers with heavy
sea pounding her to pieces. Three
lives were lost in the disaster to the
vessel and several of her crew injured
The Howe was first sighted flying sig
mails of distress, and about an hour
later she went on the beach. The life
saving crews went to the scene as
quickly as possible. Life lines failed
to reach the vessel and a boat was then
launched which after considerable diff
ficulty reached the distressed craft and
took off her master, Captain Keegan,
and six of the crew. Before the vessel
went on the beach two of the crew
were killed. A Norwegian sailor whose
named could not be learned fell from
the rigging and was killed. and VIII
liam Vansanter, the cook, was struck
by a heavy sea which hurled him
across the deck, killing him instantly.

LIGHTS BLIND BOY.
Youth Declares He Saw Strange Eyes
in Pit of Colliery.

London, Feb. 23.-One of the most re-
markable claims under the workmen's
compensation act has been heard at
the Tredegar county court, the Judge
reserving his decision.
IA years, was in the employ of the
company in May last. He was a pit
boy, earning 10 shillings week as an
assistant to his father, a collier.s On
one occasion the father sent him to get
what is known as a stick"
Amid the gloom and loneliness of the
colliery the lad says that he suddenly
felt something brush past him and he
was confronted by two glaring eyes.
This greatly terrified the lad as most
miners are exceedingly superstitious.
He cried out to his father to come and
help him, and was SO overcome by
what he regarded as an apparition that
he had to be taken home.
The judge suggested that the eyes
were those of a cat, but the solicitor for
the lad did not readily assent to this
explanation.
Three days afterward the father took
the boy again to the colliery, with a.
view to convincing him that there was
nothing to alarm him. So great was
the shock, however. that the boy has
not been able to work underground
since. The medical evidence showed
that the lad now suffered from st. vi
tus' dance, brought about by fright.
Compensa tion was claimed at the
rate of 5s Sd a week, but the company
repudiated liability.

Expert Examination of Water
Company to Be Deferred.

1t is likely that no expert examina-
ton of the Topeka Water company S
plant will be made by the city until
the city is ready to take possession of
the plant on April 1. Mayor Bergund-
thai and several members of the coun-
ell hold that it would be necessary to
have an examination made at that
time to determine whether the plant is
in good condition, and that at the same
time it would be better to have the
examination made to include a recon-
in regard to the improve
ments and engagements necessary to
provide adequate water facilities for
the city.
Il regard it is pretty definitely set
that the city will take the water plant
as soon as it can get it. provided the
water company manifests the proper
spirit in fixing it up to the standard
it was prior to the flood. President
Street has always seemed to be in
clined to do the right thing, and
think he will, when he comes to To-
peka, signify his desire to do what is
right in this matter.
Then when the city gets the plant,
it will very likely have to enlarge it
somewhat; I don't pretend to know
how much. That is something for the
hydraulic engineer to determine.
Il do not intend to call a special
meeting of the city council for the
purpose of discussing the employment
of a hydraulic engineer. but it may be
found necessary to have a special meet
ing after President Street gets here. "

Entire Estate of $3 100000 Is
Left to His Family.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 2s-By the will
of the late Senator Marcus A. Hanna,
probated today, an estate valued at
about $1,000, 900 is left to the family
There are no public bequests. The
principal benefciaries are the widow
Mrs. Charlotte Augusta Hanna, the
son, Daniel r. Hanna, the two daugh-
ters, Mabel Augusta Hanna Parsons
and Mrs. Ruth Mccormick, wife of
Medill Mccormick, of Chicago. A sis
ter, Lillian c. Hanna Baldwin, is given
$4,000. An aunt, Mrs. Helen Converse,
is given $1,000, and each of the grand
children $4,000 each
The widow is given the homestead
property, all its furnishings. the stables
and the library in lieu of one year S
support.
Several years ago Senator Hanna
the benefit of his three children. The
will provides that these gifts are not
to. be taken into consideration in the
settlement of the estate.
The estate in the main is to be di-
vided into three equal parts. The first
third was left to Mrs. Hanna, to re-
main as her own during her natural
life and at her death to be disposed
of by the trustees. The remaining two
thirds Is to then be divided into three
equal parts and divided among the
three children, share and share alike,
but the shares to be held in trust for
the children by the trustees, who will
conduct the affairs of each and give
to them the income from each part
In the event of the death of the two
daughters, and that they have no chill
dren, then one-fourth of their shares is
to be given to their husbands and the
remaining three-fourths are to revert
back to Mrs. Hanna or her son Daniel.
The executors are not asked to give
bonds 1t was the direction of Senator
Hanna that all partnerships in which
he was interested during his life should
be continued the same as if he were still
alive In addition to this, however he
delegates the power to the trustees to
terminate such partnerships, at any
time they desired if in their judgment
such step is considered the best move
for the interests of the estate. Under
the terms of the will it is expected that
the bulk of the business will fall upon
the shoulders of Daniel r. Hanna, the
son. Dan Hanna, Mrs. Hanna and L
c. Hanna are appointed trustees.
Nothing is left to charity.

DANGEROUS WORK.
Firemen Fight Blaze Near Big
Tanks of Gas.

New York, Feb. 23.-In constant dan
ger of an explosion of three immense
gas tanks, each containing 100000
cubic feet of Illuminating gas, across
the street, New York f1remen today
fought a fire in a six-story block on
West Fifty-ninth street between
Tenth and Eleventh avenues, which
was damaged to the extent of 500, 600.
The gas remained in the tanks
throughout the fire, owing to delay in
finding the proper officials to order it
withdrawn, and a large part of the
apparatus called out by four alarms
was employed in drenching the sides
of the steaming reservoirs.
The fire had gained great headway
before the alarm was sent in, and the
tall building was all ablaze when the
ffremen arrived, endangering not only
the gas tanks but adjoining tenements
and a business block, but the damage
was confined to the one building.
The front and rear walls of the build
ing fell simultaneously, several fire.

RESTAURANT MEAT BAD.
6ixty-Two People Suffer After Eating
at Public Cafe.

Berlin, Feb. ,23.-Another mysterious
poisoning has occurred, this time at
Heidelberg, where sixty-two persons
have been taken dangerously i'll after
eating dinner at a public restaurant.
The victims have been removed to
hospitals, where they are lying in great
agony, and it is feared that a consid-
cradle proportion of the patients will
die A careful official investigation is
being conducted, and all the evidence
available points to the conclusion that
the meat placed before the guests was
unfit for consumption.
If this proves correct, legal action
against the butcher and the restaurant
proprietor will ensue.
