Dir. HANNA'S ILLNESS
A Statement by DIR. Carter, One OF
the Attending Physicians.

Washington. February 15.-Dr. Ed
ward Perkins Carter. of Cleveland,
n of the attending physicians, to-
night made the following statement
regarding Mr.. Hanna's illness:
Senator Hanna died quietly at 20
minutes Of seven this evening, after
a most superb fight against a very
virulent attack of typhoid fever. The
Senator had not been we'll for some
weeks, but lac been confined to his
bed only during the past fifteen days.
From the early course Of the dis
ease there was nc evidence as to the
intense severity Of the infection and
the outlook at first seemed bright.
Since Sunday, the seventh, the pro-
gress of the fever became more mark
ed, there being a gradual rise in the
temperature from day to day and by
Wednesday the evidences of q severe
toxic condition were such as co make
the physicians in attendance anxious
as to the ultimate outcome, though
counting some upon Senator Hanna's
indomftable will, they continued to
be hopeful.
1.-The early inability to retain nour-
ishment was finally overcome and the
case seemed to be progressing more
favorably when on Friday last, in the
afternoon, the Senator had a severe
chill. Following this his temperature
rose rapidly, reaching los that night
and the evidences OF profound toxe-
mia were marked.
The change for the worse came
early this morning, and was followed
by a gradual failure of his strength,
which already had been overtaXed by
the severity Of the disease"

WILL ELECT SUCCESSOR.
Many Names Mentioned as Probable
Successor.

Cincinnati. February 15.-As the
Ohio legislature is now in session,
Senator Hanna's successor will not be
appointed by the governor, but at
once elected for the terms expiring in
March 1905 and in 1911. During the
past week there has been much COM
ment about the Senatorial succession.
Among the names mentioned in this
connection have been those Of Gov
ernor Herrick. Charles p. Taft and
George B.. Cox. Of Cincinnati; J. n.
Holt, Of Cleveland. General J.. War
rem Keifer. Of Springfield; General
Asa w. Jones, Of Youngstown, and
Congressman Dick, Grosvenor. Bur-
ton, Nevin and Warner. Senator
Hanna lived in northeastern and Sen
ator Foraker in southwestern Ohio.
It is claimed by some that geographi-
CAL conditions are likely TO add 10
h chances Of Governor Herrick or
Congressman Dick, who reside in lake
districts. There Is every indication
of a free for all contest before the
legislature

INTENSE WAR FEELING.
Mobilization of the Japanese Army
Absolute Reticence. Maintained

Shanghai. February 15.-Advices
from Nagasaki dated February Il state
that absolute reticence is maintained
by the government. An intense war
feeling prevails among all classes al
though there Is an apparent absence
Of excitement. Among the striking
features OF the situation are the strict
censorship which Is exercised over all
cablegrams n h close concealment
Of military and nava movements.
The mobilization of the japanese
army has been carried out methodical-
ly. 1t Is estimated that 800. 0o0 troops
are now ready to be placed In the field
without impairing the national de-
lenses. The movements of the troops
are surrounded In secrecy. They are
