SENATOR HANNA DEAD.

Senator Mark A. Hanna died
eon Monday evening at his hotel
in Washington, D. c., after a
brief illness of typhoid fever.
When stricken his system was
so run down, his vitality so i'm
paired that the worst was feared
from the beginning. The raw
ages of fever soon told on him
and the collapse came from which

earlier death. The end came
Monday evening as stated.
In the death of Senator Hanna
the strongest and ablest man in
the Republican party has been
removed from the scene of ac-
ton. The popular conception of
the man was that he was the per-
sonifcation of the dollar in Amer
ican politics, an exaggerated idea
of his regard for the commercial
integrityOf the country. butaside
Of the caricaturist' 5 estimate.
Senator Hanna was a great man.
In contrast with Mckinley Sen
atOr Hanna suffered, but when
the fates removed the beloved
President and the great Ameri-
can people had an opportunity to
contrast the characters of the
two leading spirits of the Re
publican party, Senator Hanna
and the President, it was then
that a proper appreciation of
Hanna followed. Despite all the
turmoil and strife of politics he
bore himself as a man and when
the Messenger came he faced
lim without a murmur of regret, |
with the thought that his work
was well done. Peace to his
ashes.

Summary of War News.

Il New YORK, Feo. 16. r Tn,
: Herald this morning publishe.
: the following comprehensive in
I PRODUCTION to it's war news:
Heavy reinforcements for Rus
sia are reported moving toward
Hardin and through Manchuria.
Japan is said to have landed
10000 troops at Chemulpo.
No new developments as to the
movements of the Vladiyostock
fleet
Belated reports of the naval
action at Chemulpo continue to
flow in, having evidently been
held up by the censor and re-
leased en- bloc. These reports
bear further testimony to the
coolness and infiexibility of the
Japanese admiral, the courage of
the Russian commander and his
men in moving out to a hopeless
fight and the evident sympathy
of the naval commanders of the
other powers gathered in Chem
ulpo for the officers and men who |
so gallantly went forth to certain
defeat and probable death. As
grave questions have arisen from
the acts of the naval commanders
it is gratifying to note that the
captain of the United States
cruiser Vicksburg made every
effort to keep himself and his ma
ton free from ENHANCEMENT.
From Port Arthur, via Chefoo,
comes the unexpected announce
ment that the Russian feet is
moving in the direction of Korea
or the south of Japan" Two of
the injured battleships, it is said,
have been repaired and are with
the fleet. The news lacks veri-
fcation. If true Japan S move
ment of troops to Chemulpo is
threatened and the Mikado's
fleet must fight a decisive battle
for control of the sea,
The Herald's stafr correspon-
dent at Toxic in the first letter
received from the seat of war
tells of the thoroughuess of ia
pans preparations and the re-
discipline, loyalty and
determination of the japanese,
their deadly hatred Of Russia and
their belief in ultimate triumph.
LONDON, Feb. 12.-The volum.
nous dispatches from the far
East published here this morn

absence of real light on the situa- !
ton Numerous unconfrmed
and conflicting rumors are given,
and among them is a report Of :
another engagement at Port Ar /

The conviction is gradually
growing that if the University of
Mississippi is to become a great
institution, providing university
training for the young men of
the State, the Greek letter fra
ternities of that institution must
go. The University of Arkansas,
the University OF North Carolina,
Princeton and other institu tions
have been compelled to abolish
them, and in every instance 1T
has resulted benefcialIy, the
University of Arkansas only
abOlishing them during the past
year, and having in attendance
this session $50 more students
than it has ever had. The mat
ter is to come before the legisla-
ture, where bill has al
ready been introduced to abolish
them, and a spirited fight is sure
to result. The anti-fraternity
men have been forced to carry
their cause to the legislature. for
the trustees have proven impo-
tent to remedy the evil. Ger
tainly the agitation of the frater-
nifty question from year to year
is doing the institution great
harm, is diminishing its attend
ance and i'm mpairlng its usefulness
and the friends of the old school
ought to unite in settling the
matter once for all.

INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES.

INDUS NAL VI On UNI IiEo.
The Progressive Leag u e
through it's Executive Commit
tee and it's efficient Secretary, is
accomplishing the work for
which it was established-bring-
ing Colum bus to the attention of
the manufacturer Of the North
and West who contemplate re
moval Of their factories to the
South to secure the advantages
offered by this section in labor,
in fuel and in raw material Al
ready the League has interested
several large manufacturing con
Germs in Columbus as an avail
able site for their operations and
representatives Of these will soon
visit this city to confirm the
Representations made to them
relative to our advantages in the
above respects. Columbus and
her progressive men must pre-
pare to receive these men and to
accord them all the courtesy,
time. attention and consideration
that the importance of their mis-
sion demands.
While this is true and ample
opportunity and facilities will be
assured along this line it is not
alone to natural advantages that
we must expect results. Hun
dreds of cities in the South who
offer unlimited resources in tim
ber and fuel are bidding for the
great industrial enterprises
Southward bound, and if we are
to realize the fruits of our efforts
IN interesting them in our city,
our capitalists and business men
must be prepared to evidence
their faith in Columbus in a finan-
cial way. Great manufacturing
concerns are not going to change
their base Of operation without a
definite assurance Of something
more than natural advantages.
They want and will expect
financial support, not a great
amount in proportion to the mag
nitude OF their establishment,
but certainly a subscription of
capital stock large enough to
show that the people here are
acting in good faith, believe in
the future of their town and are
ready to show their faith by their
money. The industrial enter
prises which the League is at
present in touch with are not
experiments; they have years of
success behind them and their
removal to Columbus would
mean but greater commercial
prosperity.
There are hundreds of prob
lens associated with the building
of every manufacturing plant
which local interest only can eff
fectually solve and if these cap
italists of the North and West
know that community of in
terest, though in a small way, is
to be established between their
capital and that of the people
where they are to locate the
greatest inducement for a loca-
tion here is offered. Until the
men of means of this city decide
TO shoulder part of the financial
responsibility i'm this movement
it in a great measure must fail of
its purpose. Therefore when
manufacturers in earnest come
they should find our people in
earnest: ready to put mp their
share Of the money and ready to
unite with them in removing
every obstacle in the path of this
movement. One hundred thous-
and dollars of home capital in
vested in this way will bring a
half million dollars here, which
in operation will increase the
population of our city and its
trade an hundred fold.

The first week of the Russian
Japanese war has ended and
with such results as to almost re
move fear of Russia as one of
the powers of the old world.
The Japanese haye proven them
selves brilliant fighters and their
naval operations show that they
are handy with the comp and
the gun, and are as brave a foe
as ever entered the field or sea.
Within one short week thev have
almost annihilated the Russian
naval force in the East; have
landed troops at will; have Grip
pied the Russian railway and are
already striking at Port Arthur,
the base of all of Russia 5 eastern
operation. Russia has suffered
a fearful loss of prestige loss
it is believed she will never re
cover.
