Albany, N, Y.-Supreme Court Justice
James Aloysius O'Gorman, Democrat, Of
New York city, was elected United
States senator Friday by the legislature
after the most protracted struggle over
this position ever held in the Empire
state. On the final ballot, the sixty
fourth, he received 112 votes to so cast
for ChaIncey NJ, Depew, whose term eX-
pired March 4.
At the close of a day of almost con-
tinuous negotiations, the insurgents ca
pitulated and Justice O'Gorman was
elected. A few minutes before the bal
lot was cast Justice O'Gorman's resig-
nation from the bench was filed at the
office OF the secretary Of state, as a con-
stitutional provision would have prohib-
tied his election while holding the office
of justice of the supreme court.
Wild applause marked the end of the
long contest, and the legislature adopted
a resolution adjourning until April H..
GOV. Dix expressed qualification at the
result.
'The state Of New York" he said, has
elected Tor its representative in the fed
eral senate an eminent jurist, a mar of
pronounced ability, OF great attainments
and of the highest character. The cleo
ton of Judge O'Gorman can not but meet
with the approval of the citizens of this
state, regardless of party. lie will rank
with the ablest statesmen the senate
has known, will well represent the En-

party that elected him. l am gratifed

has confronted the Democratic members

new YORK CAPITOL
WRECKED BY FIRE
DAMAGE TO BUILDING EXCLUSIVE
OF RECORDS $5,OOO,OOO
Building Erected at Cost of $27,0 00, 900
Militiamen Pressed Into Service
to Fight Fire.

Albany, N. Y.-Five million dollars
probably could repair the damage done
by fire in the state capitol Wednesday,
but money can not restore the historical
records which were the pride of its state
library. After examining the exterior
walls with a transit, State Architect
Ware declared that the massive pile Of
granite was as plumb and true as ever.
The flames licked up the state library,
the court of claims, the assembly libra
ny and document rooms, most of the
offices of the excise and the quarters
OF the senate finance committee and
water and smoke took up the work
that the flames laid down and the dam
age from this cause extends to every
part OF the building.
The state library, containing 100000
volumes, among them the most valu-
able genealogical works in the United
States, together with relics, priceless
documents, some of them dating back to
1776 and irreplacable.
The capitol, a gigantic structure Of
white granite with red capped towers,
which cost $27,OoO,OOO, stands perched
upon the highest of the several hills
upon which the city of Albany is built.
1t is 300 feet north and south by 400
feet east and west and covers three
acres.
The first stone in the foundation was
laid July 7, 1869. 1t was first occupied
by the legislature on Jan. Z, 1879.
Writers upon architecture say that the
white building with its towers reminds
them of the famous Tai Mahal in In.
dia. Others call it a superb reflection
Of French architecture.
Militia men were pressed into service
to remove the records, relics and flags
from the adjutant.general's office &nd
in policing the fire lines.

Coming of the Pest.

Columbus.-The Lowndes county anti
boil weeyil convention met here Wednes'
day and was attended by a throng OF
farmers and business men, who heard
addresses upon how to meet the attack
when the pest reaches this section. Last
fall the yeevil was as lar west as Mont
gomery county and as far south OF TINS
section as Newton county. AS the pest
migrates only from the first OF August
until the first frost, and then makes its
appearance in new territory when the
cotton commences blooming, it is prob
lematieal as to whether this section
will be invaded this coming summer, In
the event the weeyil does get as Tar east
as Lowndes county this summer, this
convention was called to discuss such
questions as would be necessary to halt
die the situation in the event it does.
Addresses were made by R. S. Wilson,
state agent for the farmers cooperative
demonstration branch Of the United
States agricultural department, with
headquarters in Columbus; Mr.. Howard,
agent in the south part of the state;
j. G. Weatherly, secretary of the Colum-
bus Business League; W, L. Henderson,

SANITATION IN PANAMA.

All the world is aware, in a q 1eral
way, that sanitary conditions in the
Panama Canal Zone have been vast

quite generally understood that the
former conditions down that way

ter Union. From time to time have
come reports, official and otherwise,
OF the advancement that has been
made, and the public has been kept
fairly well informed in that respect.
Many there are who have not forgot

intimation of a few years ago that
the first health officers who went
from the United States to take up the
work Of sanitation in Panama an.
chored their ship at a very safe
distance from the shore andre.
manned on board the ship. There is
no occasion for staying outside the
three-mile limit now for fear of en-
counteriug a pestilence. The mortal
ity rate among residents Of the Canal
Zone shows a definite reduction from
year to year. A correspondent Of the
Boston Medical and Surgical Journal
states that in 1904, when the popula-
ton was small, there was a death rate
per 1000 of Is; the following year a
somewhat higher rate, about 65 per
LOGO, and in 1908 1t had dropped to
"a per 1000; last year, % per 1000,
corresponding favorably with the NOR
tally in any Of the large American
cities.

Persia is no exception to the rule
that progress toward a more liberal
political regime is attended by bitter
reactionary opposition, Sometimes
this hostility does not stop with pas
slve resistance but takes the form of
murderous action. Several years ago
q Premier was assassinated; more
recently attempts have been made on
the lives of other prominent officials.
and the other day SAM ed Dowleh, the
minister of finance, was shot dead in
the street IN Teheran by assassins
who also killed two policemen and
