DANGER OF MR.. HANNA
SOLE TOPIC AT CAPITOL
Only PerfunctoIy Business Was Trans

Halls of Congress.

Anxiety over the condition Of Senator
Hanna superseded all other matters at
the Capitol today. The chaplain Of both
the Senate and House prayed this morn
Ing that the life OF the distinguished
patient might be spared. and their SUP
plica,ions TO the Almighty found re-
Spouse in the thoughts of members on
both sides OF the chambers.
The one inquiry which was upon the
lips Of everyone today was How is SEN
ator Hanna ?'' His condition was the
one topic of conversation among all
members. Democrats and Republicans
alike.
The hulletins as they came TO the
mouse were eagerly read. and each told
that the end was fast approaching.
Members read them and turned away
with a sigh OF regret
The manner IN which Senator Hanna
rallied yesterday after his sinking SPELL

showing his remarkable vitality and

often expressed that he had held on 10

hear his voice"
Nearly every Senator was in MS seat.
The chaplain labored under deep emo
ton. and President Pro Tenn. Frye,
close personal friend of Mr. Hanna, was
visibly affected.
Chaplain Couden's prayer, opening
the House today, was as follows:
20 Thou who art supremely wise and
good, life-gfving and DEMONSTRATING

hopes. and aspirations are conferred, be

sponses to the Doctors questions as to
his condition.
In the corridors of the Arlington,
where sympathetic watchers were
grouped, IT was recalled that just one
month ago today Senator Hanna flushed
with victory in bis reelection to the
Senate, returned TO washington.
A Slight Improvement.
At 6:10 o'clock Mr.. Mccormick came
from the sick room TO say that Senator
Hanna had responded slightly to the
subcutaneous injection of eight ounces
of brandy and saline solution. but that
the physicians held out no hope.
Senator Scott of West Virginia called
other distinguished callers. To all the
same answer was given by Mr. Dover:
The Senator is still breathing; that is
all can be said
The attack about 3 o'clock. which in
dictated a fatal ending TO Mr.. Hanna s
long struggle. was described by his at
tendants as a momentary losing Of
breath. There was a ftful gasp. a
violent strain and a marked collapse.
At 7;25 a. m. Senator Scott, after a
brief talk with the physicians. said
TO the reporters:
'Dr Osler tells me that Mr.. Hanna s
pulse is more perceptible. and his heart
action stronger than between and 4
o'clock. but the doctor gives no hope.
The end is inevitable"

SUBMARINE VESSELS
USED At PORT ARTHUR !?
MikadPs Navy Said to Have Long
Been Experimenting With Mys-
ferrous Craft.

The belief is strong among leading
experts here that Japans recent naval
victory at Port Arthur was the work
Of submarine vessels. 1t has been no
secret that Japan has had under con-
struction vessels thought to be of q
type similar TO the Holland boats OF
the United States Navy.
Inasmuch as they have been built
upon secret plans, prepared by the
japanese government. and in It's own
yards, the most careful investigation
by naval attaches OF the different gov
ernments has failed to discover any
thing definite. Japan may have one or
q dozen OF these wonderful craft
This theory OF the operation Of sub
marine boats goes far to dispel the
wonder In naval circles that torpedo
boats could get almost under the Rus
sian feet without being discovered, and
Is causing high officials here to wonder
what may follow further operations.

clally downcasl- Nearly all Of them had
stopped at the Arlington on their way to
the Capitol to learn OF the condition of
Senator Hanna. and when informed that
he had only short time to live they
continued their way to the Capitol with
heavy hearts
1t is doubtful IL there is a man in pub
lie life. with the exception OF the Presi-
dent, whose Illness would so excite the
members OF Congress. None of them
today felt like undertaking his rou-
tine duties; all were too much wrought
up and uneasy to give attention to
legislative matters. and in consequence
OF this fact there was little effort at
law-making. Only one or two minor
committees OF the House met today.
and that body itself was in session for
only forty minutes.
After the adjournment members wait
ed at the House expecting every mo-
ment 10 hear that the end had come,
as they knew IL must come, probably
before the end of the day. Even the
most hopeful abandoned hope and re-
signed themselves 20 await the inevita-
BILE.
Gloom in the Senate.
An atmosphere of the deepest gloom
pervaded the Senate today. No one on
the floor seemed to have any other idea
of greater present Importance than So
licitude for Senator Hanna's condition
Inquiries were made every few minutes
In one direction and another and the
, business of the day was extremely per-
functory.
Instead OF entering upon any debate
on the Panama matter the Senate. as
soon as Febrra % had been decided
upon, in eXecul session, for taking
the formal vote. proceeded to the con-
sideration of bills on the calendar. This
routine work was continued without
thought of more than passing interest
on the ballot of those Senators whose
constituents were affected by the vari-
Gus bills
Bulletins detailing the condition OF
Senator Hanna were posted at several
places in the Senate wing Of the Capitol
and were eagerly scanned by everyone
passing by. Senators of long service
do not recall any previous instance OF a
Senator's illness where so great and
general solicitude was shown.
