nothing but a repetition of the routine of

to-day will impose sentence upon both men.
This fact however. seemed to disturb
neither Brodrick nor Collins. The latter

constant companions since the beginning
of the trial, and his last night of freedom
he devoted to them.

This morning Judge Anderson was also TO
make a ruling the motion of Walter

tions.

THE LATE M, A HANNA
Memorial Services Are Held by
the Ohio Legislature in
Joint Session.
TRIBUTE TO GREAT MAN

COLUMBUS. o.. April 2O-For the third
time since the present session began the
Legislature paused in its work this morning
to pay honor to Marcus A. Hanna. late
senator from Ohio. The second week in
January it elected him for a second term in
the Senate. a month later it adjourned in
honor of his death and to attend his fu :
eraI. and to-day the two branches met L.
joint session to hold formal memorial exer-
cises and to pay honor to his memory.
The joint session was held in the hall of
the House. Lieutenant Governor Warren
c. Harding presiding. After prayer by Rev.
S. S. Palmer, of the Broad-street Presby-
terian Church. Governor Herrick made a
few brief introductory remarks. The prin-
cipal memorial address was delivered by
Senator Charles Dick. who is Senator Han
mas successor Senator Dick said. in part:
Senator Hanna was not merely a schol-
ar. He was more than that He was a
thinker who did not permit others TO think
for him. He had no training in the art of
public speaking. but he believed what he
said, and it came with the easiness that
carried conviction. The greatest good he
did was what he accomplished to solve the
great industrial problem. His greatest serv-
ice lay in making labor and capital better
acquainted. He repeatedly declared that he
would rather settle the labor problem than
to be President. He had no secret longings
for further political honors He was not a
candidate for presidential nomination. He
refused to promise the use of his name in
connection with it. The public will know
but little Of the great pressure brSught to
bear upon him to accept this great honor
Measure him from whatever point you
choose, his sturdy honesty shines pre-emi-
nent. The arts of the demagogue he scorned.
He hated all shams and artiices. He did
not win by intrigue

garding Movement of Troops.
 Moscow, Jan. 1.-The governments or- der to publish nothing iii relation to ths movement of troops is periodically ob- served by every Moscow paper. One edi- tor said to the Associated Press corre- sbondent:
 'T know exactly which division is go. ing to the Far East and know the names of officers who have been ordered not to stir out of Moscow in view oi the possible receipt of sudden marching or ders."
 Another editor impatient and conii- dent of victory, said:
 "The Russian army will prove as dis astrous to the Japanese as did Mont Pelee to Martinique"
 When asked to explain the utter in- difference of the Muscovites he explain- ed:
 ''That is due to loyalty. Wait till the Emperor issues a manifesto declaring war. then Russian sentiment will burst forth: but a manifesto is improbable In the immediate future. even If the Japan ese occupy Corea."
 Both editors expressed concern at the possibility of American intervention. One of them remarked;
 ''The attitude of the United States has been equivocal. We do not like the des- patch of American warships. Still. the Russians cannot believe that their old friends will give active assistance to Japan"

THE ATTITUDE OF AMERICA

London. Jan. 1.-Baron Hayashi. tI1t Japanese minister here. has been fn- formed from Paris that Russia has de- cided not to grant the Japanese propoa~ als.
 This is the first intimation anyone here admits having received anent the Rus sian reply.
 The Baron said to representative Of the Associated Press:
 .If information from Paris is borue out by the wording of the Russian reply and If the Japanese government adhered to it's present determination. there seems to be small possibility of averting war;
 The British foreign office is unable to| confirm or deny Baron Hayashi's fnfor. nation. The officials. however. say they are not surprised at the tenor of his advices
 The foreign ofice seems inclined to think that Russia will. if possible. avoid making a reply of any kind to the last Japanese note.
 My information from Paris,'' said tho minister of Japan. lis not official. but in connection with the information in-l parted to me by the British government. 1t is probably only too correct.
 If Chancellor Won Buelow's predie,s tion that Russia's reply will be framed in manner intended to satisfy Jap4n turns out correct. 1t will be better ne~a than I have dared to hope for. !"

 Washington. Jan 1s- Baron Hayanizz statement from London was confnuE& cated to Japanese Minister Takahifa jq# as he was starting to the New Year 6 ception at the White House. Aikhouah& was what the minister has been expe& ing for days, 1t was naturally someWh# of shock. The legation here has has nothing yet from Tolrio.
 The Russian embassy was equally lacskS ing of advice from it's home office and the State Department has not been able to sc-| cure any indication of the outcome of the negotiations between Russia and Japan, notwithstanding it has cabled special in- structions to it's agents in both countries to report developments.
 The news of the likelihood of actual war was communicated to the general staff of the army and the general board of the navy, the members of both being gathered in their respective departmental preparatory to marching to the White House to pay their respect to the Presl- dent
 It was immediately discussed and thera was a good deal of speculation as tS how hostilities between Russia and Japan would affect the United States.
 The attitude of the government would, of course, be one of neutrality, but there is always danger in case of war that one of the combatants, by unwarranted inter ference with rights of neutral commerce. or by i'll treatment of neutral citizens may require stern administration and per- haps the exhibition of force, so these gem eral staff officers feel called upon to put their respective arms of the service into a state of preparation to respond power fully and effectualiy to any call from the diplomatic side of the government.

Increase in Expenditures Responsi-
 ble for Wiping Out of Surplus.
 Washington, Jan. 1.-The expenditures of the United States were S17 900 more in the calendar year 1903. than they were the year before. ..
 It is an interesting fact that the whole of the increase is chargeable ito the Navy Department, and is accounted for by the building and arming of new ships. the employment of more men to man them, and the construction of accessory buildings.
 It is a fact that the treasury is no longer pIling up large surplus. The government receipts exceeded the ex- penditures in the calendar year. 1901 by $1040Oe.9O0. and in. 1902, by H2,001.0OO During the year just closed the excess of receipts over expenditures was only $3s 900 900, or $34, O0O0 less than for the preceding year.
