in position Dec. 3, and the Federal au-
thoritieS at Washington, including
Grant, assumed that Thomas was in
tending to stand siege Almost hour
ly Thomas received from Washington
or from Grants headquarters impa-

gestions and appeals to do something
to raise the siege, but Thomas army

of Smiths division from west of the
Mississippi, Schofelds Twenty-third
and Woods Fourth corps, partly from
Sherman's column and partly from gar

equipments as well as perfect organiza-
ton and drill 1t was upon this latter
arm that Thomas counted for finishing
blows when the time came. so while
Hood was adding to his earthworks
and parapets and vainly hoping for re-
endorsements, and urgent demands
were made from Federal headquarters
hundreds of miles away that Thomas
should act, the Rock of Chickamauga
said: Let Hood fortify. Let Washing
ton howl. I'll act when l am ready"
His plan of campaign had been set
tied upon by the 9th and orders given
to move. Hoods operations, however.
led to a brief delay in order to shift
positions of Federal troops on the long
lines and mass the strongest battalions
on the right. The day fixed for attack
opened with Il storm of freezing sleet,
which in time covered the earth with
crust Of slippery frozen mud or ice
A campaign to the death was out of
the question under such circumstances.
Hoods troops and artillery could
stand in their fixed firm tracks. while
Thomas would need to struggle and
climb up the icy slopes and over CLASSY
lakes in order to dislodge them
Thomas said again in answer to re-
-pewed demands from headquarters.
II will act when ready"
Grant wired that he must move
against Hood or turn over his COM
mand to the next in rank. The grim
old veteran replied that he would sub

Iience TO orders without murmur,
but move against Hood he would not
until all was ready. A successor, Cen
eral Logan, had been placed at call
near by, and Grant himself started for

way before melting weather on the

his chiefs that the enemy would he at.

Wilson. Hood also had three and For
rests cavalry. Stewards corps opposed
SchOield. Lees opposed Smith and

Thomas was to launch Wilson ami

upon Hoods right flank, breaking

standing with locked horns. Every
thing which Thomas men had at
tempted had been carried with Il rush,
but they saw plenty to warn them
from attempting too much, and the
places stormed or taken were key
points to sections of the Confederate
line. Never more than two brigades

Coon's diSmounted brigade of cavalry
were the heroes of the right. They
vaulted the barriers together. mingling
their cheers and dividing the trophies
of conquest without reckoning which
got there first or struck the harder.
Steedman's white brigade under Colo
mel GroSvenor and Colonel Morgan's
colored troops did the same on the left
occupying the attention of Cheathams
entire corps throughout the day.

night of the 10Th from Il half mile to

100 rods. There was every temptation
for Thomas to order an attack all alon"

continued its march until it outflankcd

In order to check Wilson, Cheatham
drew men from Shy's hill in the angle

teries were raZing its walls Bates Ten
nesseeans rushed down from the right

Arthur saw the chance offered and sent
McMillen's brigade to storm it. Two
other Federal brigades followed Nc
Millen, but strong as they came they
had to reckon with the Twentieth Ten
nessee Confederate before scizing the
prize. That regiment. led by Colonel
W. W. Shy, disputed every inch of the
soil. Shy was killed. and his men
slowly gave ground without a single
reserve to fall back upon. The angle
was broken. and Smiths and Scho-
fields men advanced with comparative
ease, although some of the Confeder-
ate redoubts only yielded to the logic
of the bayOnet. Briefly, the whole
Confederate left was crushed in like an
eggshell before the middle of the after
noon. Officers and men no longer
thought of holding their line, but of
reaching the roads leading south before

New Guineans slaughtered their swine

show them n more excellent way. Two
thousand savages had assembled to eat
l59 pigs, so the task was no light one.
The native way of killing a pig was
to hang him on pole and then stick
him with a spear the unfortunate ami

ten minutes after. So the bishop and
one of his clergy set to work to shoot
them painlessly and rapidly, and in a

The Tipping Evil.

The tipping evil has gone to great
lengths in this country, and it is not a
cause for wonder that people are rising
IN revolt against it on all sides. The
railroad porter is no longer a con-
spicuous figure for his rapacity. The
restaurant waiter, the barber, the boot
black and brush boy. the messenger
who takes your card to his principal.
the hackman-all expect special com
pensation, not for special consideration.
but for the rendering Of what should
be the usual service. The tipping sys-
TEN in this country is an anomaly. an
excrescence, wholly unlike that abroad
In Europe the wage scale is low. and
the subordinates of every class must
get tips TO bring their incomes up to
living point. Here the wage scale is
high enough TO enable any one of the
tip taking class to live decently and
comfortably. Tips are to them extras.
At the rate at which this nuisance
has grown during recent years it viii

viii Elect Successor.

Cincinnati, Feb. 16.-As the Ohio
legislature is now in session, Senator
Hanna's successor will not be appoint
ed by the governor, but at once elected
for the terms expiring in March, 1905,
and in March, 1911. Less than seven
years ago Mr.. Hanna, who had never
before held office, succeeded John SheT-
man as senator, and had over seven
years yet to serve, having been re-elect-
ed last month. During the past week
there has been much comment about
the senatorial succession. Among the
names mentioned in this connection
have been those of Governor Hsrrick,
Charles P. Taft and George B. Cox, Of
Cincinnati; J. H. Hoyt, of Cleveland;
General J. Warren Keiffer, of Spring
field; General Asa w. Jones, Of Youngs-
town, and Congressman Dick, Gros-
venor, Burton. Nevin and Warneck
Senator Hanna lived in Northeastern
and Senator Foraker in Southwestern
Ohio. 1t is claimed by some that geo.
graphical conditions are likely to add
to the chances of Governor Herrick or
Congressman Dick. who reside in lake
districts.

indianapolis, Feb. II. - President
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers
of America. has sent a personal tele-
gram of coincidence to Mrs. Hanna,
saying that in Senator Hanna's death
labor had lost a sincere friend. Mr..
Miachell said:
"The death of Senator Hanna is a
distinct loss to the cause of industrial
peace. The latter years Of his life were
given to the promotion of the work

ers and employees. enjoyed the friend
ship of Senator Hanna to an unusual
degree-his confidence in matters Of
this kind, and l know of many things
he has done, of many sacrifices he has
made in the interest of organized
workmen, for which he neither sought
nor received credit. His efforts as the
chairman of the National Civic Fed
Grafton brought him into close rela-
tionship with nearly all the trade un-
ion movements. and he had the trust
and the respect of all of them"
William D. Huber, president of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners, and President James Lynch, of
the International Typographical Union,
expressed themselves in a similar
strain with respect to Senator Hanna
as a friend of the worSingman.

Senator Hanna's Last Words.


The last Ineligible words spoken by
Senator Hanna were pathetic in his
attempt to maintain to the last the
humor which was characteristic of his
life. On Sunday morning he moved
his head slightly and his eyes rolled a
little to the right and then to the left.
The nurse in close attendance antici-
pated his want, and, bending to the pa
tient's ear. asked if he was looking for
his handkerchief.
Il think my wife has my handker-
chief, the senator whispered.
Members of the family, eager for
any sign Of consciousness or recogni-
tiOn which the senator might display,
were told of the remark, and they at
once recognized it as one of his favor
ite rejoinders in good natured plague
ing, in which Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna often
indulged. 1t was the senator's custom
when he missed any personal article,
especially his handkerchief, to say: Il
expect my wife has it,"
At about II o'clock the senator be-
came unconscious, and thereafter, al
though the physicians and members OF
the family strained every nerve to de-
tect a return of recognition, the sena-
tor did not speak word that could be
understood, nor did he appear to know
what was going on about him. Occa-
sionally he mumbled few sounds, but
nothing could be made of them, and his
little pleasantly were the last words
spoken.
When it became known there was no
chance for recovery, arrangements
were made to have a death mask taken
by Sculptor U. S. j. Dunbar, and that
was done last evening. The cast will
be perfect, and, strange as it may seem,
will show the face in its usual fullness>l
The senator's face shows little emacia-
tion, and ewing to the constant use OI
oxygen had taken on what appeared
to be a coat of tan. wAich gave it al
most a lifelille appearance.
President Calls On Mrs. Hanna.
President Roosevelt called at the Ar
lington hotel last night personally to
express his condolences to the mem
bers of the late Senator Hanras FAM
ily. He saw Mrs Hanna, H. NJ. Hanna,
the senator's brother, and Dan R. Han
ma, his son, and remained with them
for some time
The president walked to the hotel
unattended, and spent some time with
Postmaster General Payne, who lives
at the Arlington, both before and afte7
his visit to the Hanna family. He re-
turned to the White House after 10
O'Clock, accompanied by Senator
Spooner.
