He Will Annouce His Candidacy For the Senate and Make an Open Eight For the Seat, but Governor Bush- nell May Thwart His Plans. CANTON, 0., Jan. 18.—-Apropos of the visit of Senator Quay and Senator Elect Penrose of Pennsylvania to President Elect McKinley it is said that Pennsylva— nia, and New York as well, is doomed to ‘ disappointment in the matter of furnish- ‘i‘ng planks for the cabinet. Senator Quay, when seen at his hotel after his interview with Major McKinley, did not present the appearance of a thor- oughly satisfied man, and there was some- thing in his manner which indicated dis- appointment, although both he and Mr. Penrose said they had had a very pleasant conference with Major McKinley. “Only . President Elect McKinley knows,” said Senator Quay when asked directly whether Charles Emory ‘Smith would be invited into the cabinet. The senator also said that a part of their mis« sion here was to talk over the interests of Governor Hastings as a cabinet aspirant, but would not say what particular ofiice they hoped for. He said: > “Our conference with Major McKinley I have nothing to say for publication.” The present indications are that Pennsyl- vania will not furnish a name for the offi~ rial cabinet slate, and it is very possible that New York for similar reasons will share the same fate. It is next to impossi- ble to find an eligible man in either com— monwealth who would not antagonize one or another of the factions. Laying aside all other considerations, the situation in the senate is such that the administration cannot afford to take any step that would render one or more senators cold or luke- warm. On the other hand, Major McKin- ley’s personal and political friendship for Charles Emory Smith and other Pennsyl- vanians of his side of the house is such that he will not willingly offend them or take an important step against their wishes. No Pennsylvanian suggested seems to be entirely free from factional entanglgments. New York presents a number of names with the recommendation that they are not so arrayed on local issues as to arouse factional strife, but so far investigation has cast a cloud over most of these recom- mendations. Andrew D. White for the treasury, John A. Wise for attorney gen- eral and General Horace R. Porter for the navy are New York names , in current It is also said that Senator Elect Platt will be one of the important callers at the McKinley home and that he comes to canvass the New York situation. Major 0., F. Dick of Cleveland, repre- senting Mark Hanna, called on President Elect McKinley yesterday to discuss the senate vacancy soon to be created by the resignation of Mr. Sherman. Mr. Hanna is ”extremely anxious to secure the seat: but, according to Major Dick, no under- standing has been reached with Governor Bushnell, who can appoint for the unex- pired period of Mr. Sherman’s term. It was the lack of such an understanding that led to Major Dick’s hurried visit. Mr. McKinley is now bending his ener- gies to bring about the desired result, and . his private secretary, Mr. Boyle, who was appointed police commissioner of Cincin- nati by then Governor Foraker, has posted off to Cincinnati to argue with the junior senator on the wisdom of having Mr. Han- na succeed Senator Sherman. . Politicians here believe that Governor Bushnell will call an extra session Of the general assembly instead of filling the va- cancy by appointment. The present legis- ' lature elected Foraker and. left to its own devices would be likely to choose Governor Bushnell himself. e HANNA FOR THE SENATE. He Will Announce His Candidacy and Make an Open Fight. CLEVELAND, Jan. 18.—The Press says - Mark Hanna will announce himself as a candidate for United States senator. He made this admission yesterday to ex—Con- gressman Hour? L. Morey of Hamilton, who came to Cleveland as the accredited representative of Senator Joseph B. Fora- ker. . “I will announce my candidacy,” said the national chairman, “and I believe I am capable of winning the fight alone. I believe that I am entitled to the plaCe. ” Colonel Morey was closeted with Mr. Hanna for an hour. When Mr. Morey left the chairman, he was questioned by a re- porter and said: “I believe that Mr. Han- na will announce himself as a candidate to succeed Senator Sherman in the United States senate, and I believe that Governor Bushnell will appoint him to" that posi- tion. Governor Bushnell will, I feel con- fident, dislike to do this very much, for I believe he would himself like to be suc- cessor to Senator Sherman, but neverthe- less I believe he will do it. “There will be" no deal, whatever may, be the outome of Mr. Hanna’s candidacy. I am sure that there has not been and will not be any deal with Foraker or Bushnell. Mr. Hanna’s candidacy will be open and above board, and I believe that he will win solely because Foraker will bow to the very evident sentiment of the people of this state and the United States.” “Mr. Morey, are you affiliated with either‘ faction in this state?” “No, I am not. I am a good friend of both Mr. Foraker and Mr. Hanna.” When Mr. Hanna’s attention was called to the statement made by Mr. Morey, he flatly refused to discuss the matter. Long May Be In It. HINGHAM, Mass, Jan. 18.-——Hon. John D. Long has returned to his home here from his visit to President Elect McKin- ley at Canton. Mr. Long was yesterday seen by your correspondent, to whom he granted an interview. When asked if he was to be a member of President McKin- ley’s cabinet and in what capacity, he re- plied: ' “It is a atter for future consideration whether he will desire my services or whether I should be inclined to accept any position. I presume if anything were of- fered it would be either the‘ secretary of war portfolio or the secretary of the navy. ’V’ c Killed While Skating. WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. 18.—'Johm A.

Jan. 13:1.—-—The crisis in the trouble which .Iwudvilie has under- yone since last June has been reached. and I: calamity far worse than the strike of the metallic miners here has overtaken the camp. For the first time in 15 years the immense pumps that have drained the big mines on Carbonate hill, the wealthy cen- ter of Leadville, have been pulled out, while the pipe lines connecting are to be removed at once. The Maid—Henrette pumps had a capacity of 1,300 gallons of water a minute, and depending‘upon this were nearly all the great mines of Carbon- ate hill. How long the mines affected by this move can hold out is merely a matter for conjecture. There are miles of workings in Carbonate hill, and these will probably fill up slowly, so that down workings may not be reached by the rush of water for a ' month or two. It is, however, only a question of time, and a month will un- doubtedly find many mines idle as a re-‘ sult of the floods. A prominent mining man said that it was his opinion that the pumps would never again be placed in the Maid property even if the strike was settled. Indeed, if there is any settlement made with the end in view that the pumps would be replaced, it would have to come very soon, for with- in a week the Maid and the Henrette would be so flooded that it would be impossible to put the pumps back or even to get into the stations. DOUBLY WEDDED. Ex-llIuyor lVIagowan Defies His “Political Enemies and False Friends.” PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18. —— Ex—Mayor Frank A. Magowan of Trenton and his wife, who was formerly Mrs. J. A. Barnes, together with the child of the latter, are stopping at the Hotel Walton in this city. They have been here for some time, but will be at their Trenton heine after today. Mr. Magowan declined to say anything about the amount paid Mr. Barnes for the settlement of the latter’s $100,000 suit for alienation of his wife’s affections. He, however, gave out the following statement: “Mrs. J. A. Barnes and I were married at Milwaukee immediately after her di- vorce was secured last J one, I having re- ceived my decree the previous March. We Were remarried yesterday by the Rev. W. A. Hunsberger in this city in order to de- feat any attengpt that might be made by my too activléf' political enemies and false friends, who have demonstrated in the past only too clearly their inclination to interfere in my family afi‘airs. ”~ Found a Fortune. MILLV'ILLE, N. J., Jan. 18.——It is assert- ed that while working Friday 0 an old building on the Hayes property, about two miles from Port Elizabeth, Somers Cole, a carpenter, found a snug fortune secreted in the eaves oflthe structure. The fortune was found in a long. box and was in the shape of bonds, mortgages, gold and silver coin and rolls of paper money. It amount- ed to nearly $25,000. Lawyer H. 0. New— comb says he was the administrator of the Hayes estate and will take charge of the box. The fortune will be claimed by Lo- renzo Hayes of this place. Catholics In Mexico. MONTEREY, Mexico, Jan. 18.—-—The re- form laws of _,_Mexico regulating and re- stricting the Catholic church in this coun- try have always met with stong opposition from the church officials. They must hereafter, however, be strictly obeyed, as Archbishop Averardi has issued written instructions to every Catholic church in Mexico to that effect. He also calls upon the church to give President Diaz’s'ad- ministration its support. Archbishop Av- erardi came to Mexico six months ago di- rect from Rome for the purpose of investi- gating church affairs in this country. Shot Three Men Dead. BELLAIRE, 0., Jan. 18.—A triple mur— der occurred late last night at Flat Rock, W. Va, a few miles south of here. Jesse Russel, Elmer Moore and John Greer went to the house of Lewis Grim, where a dance was in progress, and attempted to inter- rupt the festivities. Grim ordered them away. and a fight ensued. Going into the house, Grim secured a gun and shot the three men dead._ Grim gave himself up. Hoch Must Die. LOWVILLE, N. Y., Jan. 18.—A telegram from Private Secretary Grifi‘ith to William H.

Jan. 18.——Sherifi Frank Ster- rette of Charleston, Mo., brought Joe and Jim Albright, brothers, charged with an atrocious murder, to St. Louis today and lodged them in jail for safe keeping, as there was strong talk of lynching.

John Morley. - LONDON, Jan. 18.——The Right Hon. John Morley, M. P., in a' speech at Forfar. Scotland, complimented the prOposed An- glo-American arbitration treaty, which, he said, withdrew even territorial claims from the tyrannical, capricious and bale- ful arbitrament of the sword. .In strong terms he urged that it should be the fervent that no miss should arise in the senate or elsewhere to overcloud this new light on the horizon of the world of civilized man or to hinder the consummation of the hopes and ardent wishes of two great na- tions. . - “I agree with those,” he continued, “who hope and believe in that full frui- tion of a time when the force of a. treaty like this, though only a temporary treaty, upon by posterity as a realization of what we now call it—the great event of the nineteenth century. ' . “I have always regarded as the most splendid act of Gladstone‘s splendid career his connection with the Alabama negotia- tion. The further we get away from that great transaction the more we see what a beneficent landmark it was in the history of civilization.” After the enthusiastic applause which followed 'his reference to the arbitration treaty Mr. Morley turned his attention to the next session of parliament. He said: “Ireland again fills the public eye, finan- cial revelations beginning a controversy cerning fundamental questions of taxation deeper than those questions which are of local importance only.” After referring to Lord Castletown’s speech at Cork Dec. 13, 1896, in which it . was said that England lost the American colonies by a blunder and that the people - of Cork might emulate the example set by the people of Boston on the occasion of the “Boston tea party,” Mr. Morley con- tinued: _ “It is true that we lost the American colonies by a blunder, but we shall not leselreland, no matter what the blunder we may make, but We can lose whatever confidence remains in Ireland in the jus- tice of the imperial parliament.” FIFTEEN TOTS DEAD. Fearful Result of the Eire at the Buckner Orphan Home. and boys are dead as a result of the fire at the Buckner Orphan home, and nine others are seriously burned and crushed. Three of the injured, it is thought, cannot recov- er. The fullness Of the holocaust was not discovered and fully realized until last night. The fire, which commenced about 10 o’clock Friday night and raged until the boys’ dormitory was destroyed, did not cool enough for search for bodies in the ashes until yesterday. At that time it was thought that only five children had been burned to death. When the ashes had cooled enough to admit of a search, scores of sympathizingfitiends and neighbors began the sad task of finding’the bodies of‘the five whom it was known had perished. The search had hardly been instituted when the terrible truth that there were more than five bodies in the ashes appear- ed. The search continued until the ruins were fully explored and 15 bodies had been found. ” ' Forgets His Name. BALTIMORE, Jan. 18.—There is a man at the Maryland University hospital‘who does not remember his name nor his home. He was found wandering on the streets by a policeman and was surprised when told that he was in Baltimore. He complained of pains in his head when asked to remem- ber whence he came. He knows what has happened since he was found, but as to anything that occurred before that time his mind is blank. Professor Miles, the specialist in nervous diseases. says the man is suffering from aphasia. His description tallies with that of John Allen of Suffield, Conn., who disappeared from that place. He says the name John sounds familiar. A Horrible Tragedy. RUGBY, Tenn, Jan. 18.—-Benjamin L. Davies, proprietor of Tabbard inn at this place, cut his wife’s throat with a razor, killing her. and then shot himself to death with a pistol. Mr. Davies was an invet— erate cigarette F‘lllOkOl‘, and his friends at Rugby think that this practice had a de- lirious effect on his brain and that his rash act was committed while he was la- boring under temporary mental aberration. He was known to smoke from six to ten packages of cigarettes a day. Davies and his wife are well known in Cincinnati and Buffalo. Both bodies will be taken to Buffalo for interment. Tillman Gives. It Up. NASHVILLE, Jan. 18.—Hon. G. N. Till- man, Bcpublican, who recently filed a no- tice of contest of thewlection of Hon. Rob- ert L. Taylor, DemOcrat, as governor, has announced his withdrawal from the con- test. The legislature passed a bill a day or two ago requiring a contestant for the office of governor to give a $25,000 bond for the costs of the contest, and Mr. Till- man, while believing he was elected, says he is unwilling to assume the personal risk of having a partisan majority impose the penalty of a $25,000 fine.
