Senator Hansbrough received calls from
necticut, New York. Pennsylvania, Dela-

and other States during the day.
The Senator was asked what he thought
of Secretary Shaw's statement that there
had been no change in conditions in the
last seven years. He replied:
EVIDENTLY BEEN ASLEEP.
''I was greatly surprised at this state
ment. I should say that any man who
would say that evidently had been asleep"
The Senator asserted that sentiment
favoring tariff readjustment can be found
in every State. and that in some States
this sentiment takes the form of demand
for reciprocity.
Reciprocity is not popular in the wheat

platform probabilities, he said:
Il have not talked of the resolutions
with any OF the members of the COM

amy authoritative statement. In my opin-
ion there has been nothing which has oc-
CURED in the last four years which would
necessitate change in the platform of
1900.
''The tariff will be unchanged. The
Iowa idea will not enter Into It at all,
and there will be no promise OF revision
If the East can have its way. In my
opinion the coal strike will be referred to,
and the policy OF President Roosevelt in
dorsed as just and justified.

broad enough to furnish comfortable
standing room for all Republicans who
believe in the essential principles and
policies Of the party, that upon the sub

embody in some form the following state
ments:
''Ffrst-A clear and emphatic declaration
of the time-proven policy of protection.
"Second--An unmistakable recognition
Of the fact that the tariff schedules must
be readtusted at reasonable intervals to.
meet the changing conditions of produc-
should be made by the friends of pro-
lection.
'Third-That at the next session of the
present Congress the subject should be
brought up, and such changes be made to
preserve for our producers and secure for
our consumers adequate protection-no
more no less.
''Fourth-A plain and forcible declara-
ton for reciprocity, to be established eth
er by treaty or act of Congress- as cir
custances may demand, whenever the
policy can be employed to increase pro-
duction at home and increase the general
welfare, whether in competitive or nom

When Governor Yates's name was called
the tally stood Collum 30 Yates g. and the
Governor jumped to his feet. and voted
for Cullom. In the same breath he
moved to make the senator nomination
by acclamation. The motion prevailed.
When Cullom's name was called, Secre-
tary Blount answered for him, voting
"Collum." Had Collum voted for Yates,
the vote would have stood thirty to twen-
ty-four, which measures the strength of
the two leaders. The vote in detail was

MissinE-Bridge Built in 1852
and Was Unsafe.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 16.-Three
persons are known to have been Killed
and five others seriously injured by
the collapse of the suspension bridge
across the Elk river which connects
East and West Charleston. At the
time the bridge went down there were
six teams and six children on their
way to school and number OF other
pedestrians on the structure. The
bridge went down without warning,
but number of those who were near
the ends of the structure managed
to reach land Those who went down
with the wreckage fell distance OF
40 feet into the recovered waters OF
the river. The depth of the river at
this point is 10 to 20 feet and when
the iron and lumber wreckage struck
the ice 1T broke into fragments and
those killed and several OF the injured
were thrown into the water or swept
under the ice further down the stream
Crowds gathered on both banks OF
the river. The steamer Baxter broke
the ice to allow small boats to reach
the scene and the rescue work began
Immediately. The injured were first
assisted to the shore and later a
search was made for dead bodies. The
bodies of Mamie Higginbotham, Oh
lie Gibbs and Annie Humphreys
were taken out and the search
continued, but no others were
found, The bridge was a single
span 500 feet in length and was built
in 1852. 1t has been known to be I'M
safe for some time and heavy traffic
was not allowed on it. The accident
was caused by two cables on the north
side slipping from their moorings.
When that side dropped another cable
on the other side snapped, the floor
tilted and turned completely over.
During the civil war the cable OF this
bridge was cut by Gen. Wise when he
evacuated Charleston, the bridge at
the same time being partly burned.
The same cable was afterwards spliced
and has been in use ever since.

TO sHELvE MR.. DEpEw.
Gov. Odell Declares That the New York
Legislature VIII Send Ex-Gov Black
TO the senate,

New York, Dec. 16.-Gov Odell and
many of his lieutenants held a long
conference here yesterday to discuss
the senatorship. At the conference
both Senator Depew and former Gov.
Black, the two candidates for the SEN
atorship, were represented.
Twenty-six leaders were In the con-
ference which was held in a parlor OF
the Republican club. They were
asked by the governor to say whether
they desired the reelection OF Sen
ator Depew or the election OF Mr..
Black. Seventeen Of them declared for
Black, seven for Depew and two OF
them, Gov. Odell and Speaker Nixon,
indicated no preference.
One of the most dramatic scenes OF
the conference was caused by Cor
nelius N. Bliss who is a warm sup
porter of Senator Depew. Mr.. Bliss
told the governor and his friends that
If they decided to elect Mr.. Black In
place of Senator Depew 1t would be
regarded as a breach Of faith.
At the close of the discussion Gov.
Odell said the sentiment as represent
ed by the leaders seemed to be over
whelmingly for Mr.. Black; that he had
done nothing to influence it and had
never requested any legislator Ito de-
sert Senator Depew. He said If there
should be a contest in the caucus Sen
ator Depew would be able to count
fewer than 40 votes of the 14O repub-
lican legislators. This assertion at
tracted much attention. 1t will re-
uuire l01 votes to elect senator.
