LOOKS BAD FOR FORAKER.
Admitted That the Tide is Toward
Chas. II. Taft.

Admitted That the Tide is Toward
Chas. II. Taft.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 3O.-Repub
lican chieftans of Ohio are gathering
today to discuss the senatorial situa-
ton, in advance of the party caucus
on Saturday, which will definitely de-
eide the issue. Unless all signs count
for naught, Charles P. Taft, the Gin
cinnati newspaper owner, capitalist
and brother to the president-elect,
will succeed to the toga now worn by
Joseph Benton Foraker. Friends
of Foraker have not yet given up hope
OF his reelection, but 1t is generally
admitted that the tide has turned
strongly against him. The rank and
file of the party favors Taft, and the
republican legislators will hardly dare
to delay the public demand for his Sc
lection. Apparently, the days of For
aker in the senate are numbered.
Signs of activity are displayed in
the camp of the friends of Joseph
Benson Foraker following the letters
he has sent to assemblymen-elect.
These letters, 1t seems we're invita-
lions to the recipients TO visit the
senator in Cincinnati, Representative
McFadden, of Fayette county, is the
only one who is reported to have re-
sponded in person. Old followers OF
Mr.. Foraker who received the invita-
lions sent excuses. They privately
admit that they cannot vote for the
senator's reelection If they wish to
retain the favor of the masses of
their constituents. They declare that
the only men in their counties who
are demanding the return of Mr. For
aker to the senate are politicians who
have been allied to the old organiza-
ton or to Foraker personally.
With the senatorial fight practical
ly settled, the republican leaders are
making plans for overturning the
democratic regime at the next state
election. A continuous campaign Is
being seriously considered In order to
effect this end A matter of great
momentamong the republican poll
ticians just now is the gubernatorisl
nomination in 1910. Republican lead
ers said they wanted a live candidate,
q man accustomed to the management
of big AFFAIRS. who was popular and
had the good will Of the people. The
sentiment seemed to be for a northern
Ohio man. II was declared that the
northern part Of the state was en-
titled to the candidate.

named as a man who would Ill all

CITIES BURNING
Calamity Greatest Disaster in
Worlds History

ROME, Dec. 30.-A cording to es-
Inmates made late this afternoon by
those In touch with the earthouake
disaster that visited southern Italy
and Sicily, 100000 people lost their
lives, and as many more were injured
That was the highest estimate made
and there seems to be no doubt but
that the death list will reach this ap-
palling mark, though the ultra con-
servatives state that it will not go
in excess of $4,000.
Scene of DesOIation and Death,
Every place visited by the earth
quake and the other disasters attend
ant upon it is a scene of desolation
and death. In the cities along the
coast those who were not killed by
the falling buildings were caught in
the wave that followed the earth
quake and those who did not have
this disaster to contend with or es-
capped 1t were devoured by the fire
that followed to complete the work
of destruction and devastation. Fully
20 cities in southern Italy and Sicily
are burning and as there are no
means of checking the flames it looks
as though all of them are doomed.
Every wagon road and railroad to the
afflicted districts is destroyed and
completely out of commission, and it
is almost impossible to send assist
ance and provisions to the victims of
the earthquake. Added to the other
horrors of the situation terrific hail
storm is sweeping across the devast-
ed country, and the wounded and dy-
ing are lying unprotected against 1t
on the ground. The devasted region
in Calabria and Sicily, it is believed
will cover at least a thousand square
miles. Another shock was felt today
at Paleoma, but 1t was slight, and did
but little damage. Wand Stromboli
is showing signs of volcanic
activity-is spouting up great
volumes of smoke, and it is feared an
eruption may occur at any time.
Queen Riskes Life to Save Child.
