The! “fill Prevent Hanna’s Re-
election—First ’l‘ést 'Vote Show:
Him Weaker Than Supposed.

Columbus, 0., Jan. 4.——Senator Mark
Iiannahas been beaten in the first
skirmish of his campaign for r'e-elec-
tion. His defeat comes from. an unex-
111261051 quarter. He has failed to elect
:iis candidate for Speaker of the
liousc. Mr. Hanna and his friends
had not counted on being able to or-
ganize the Senate, but they had confi-
dently asserted that they would con-
trol the House of Representatives.

The contest in the House was be.
tween Mason, anti-Hanna, and Box-
well, .the‘ Hanna candidates. The first
ballot, taken at noon yesterday, result-

ed: Mtason, 56; Boxwell, 53. Mason
was declared elected Speaker. There
‘was the greatest excitement in the
chamber during the voting. .

The caucuses last Saturday nigh1
were not on the usual lines. between
the Republicans and the Democrats,
owing to some of'the Republican mem-
bers hiaving formed a fusion with the
Democratic members for the defeat 01
Senator Hanna. '

The Senate stands 18 Dem'OCrats and
18 Republicans, the latter including
Senator Voight, who was elected on 3

did not attend either caucus. At the
Senate Republican caucus, Saturday
night, Senator Bwrks (Rep), of Cleve-
]a.,nd was not only absent, but he was
at the same time nominated by the
Democratic caucus for President prc
tern. of the Senate. The Republican
caucus nominated Senator J. Park
Alexander for President pro tem.

The absence of Senator Burke yes-
terday, therefore, meanlt not only his
election, but the election of Demo-
crats for offices in the Senate. Senatm
Burke is opposed to the re—election 01
Senator M. A. .Hanna. With party
lines drawn in the Senate, Lieut. Gov.
A. TV. Jofis (Rep) would have had
the tie vote to cast, and he has been
considered as opposed to Hanna.

The House stands 62 Republicans
and 47 Democrats, the former includ-
ing four fusionists from Cincinnati.

At the Republican House caucus,
Saturday ' night, there were only 52
present and pledged to Alexander Box-
well for Speaker. ‘

Of the ten abs-en-tees, Griffith, 01
Clinton, was the only one offering an
excuse. He was sick. The other nine
Republican members were absent-be-
cause they are opposed to Hanna. and
regarded Boxwell as the Hanna. candi-
date. These nlne Republican members
met with the Democratic members and
indorsed Harry C. Mason, of Cleve-
land, an anti-Hanna. Republican, for
Speaker. With these Republican mem-
bers and the forty-seven Democratic
members, Mason would have fifty-six
votes, or more than necessary to elect,
but some of t1he~Deinocratic members
refused to be pledged to Republican
candidates for Senator, Speaker 02
other offices in the organization of the

gislature.

Owing to the patronage in these
offices, as well as the preferences in
chairmanships and the composition 01
all the committees, it was generally
believed that the fate of Senator Han-
na, as well as of all his supporters,
depended on the organization of the
Legislature. His opponents claimed
that he would be defeated even if the
Boxwell ticket was elected, and his
friends admitted that the chances were
against him if Boxwell was defeated.

Owing to the Senatorship being at
stake, there was an unusually large
attendance abdut the Statehouse at a:
early hour.

It required an hour to examine the
"credentials ahd swear in the 109 mom»

bers of the House. but the thirty-six
Senators soon qualified.

All were present in the Senate cham-
ber except Senator Burke, of Cleve-
land, tlhe Republican ‘who is opposed
to Hanna, and Senator Voight, the
fusionist from Cincinnati. The vote or.

organization stood 18 1:017 in favor ol 1

the Democrats, who elected all the.offi-
cers.

Senator Burke was elected President;
0. D. Cas‘sell (Dem.) was elected chiel
clerk over A. C. Came (Rep), the latter
having expected re—election by Burke's
presence, although Burke would no!
support Hanna. As. Senator Burke
was absent and could not be sworn in,
Thaddeus E. Cromwell (Dem), was
elected President pro tem. of the Sen-
aitc. It is understood, however, that
he will give way to Senator Burke 21.:
soon as the latter arrives to take his
seat. .

The Democratic organization of the
Senate was made complete in a very
quiet way, while a. detachment of po-
licemen were needed-to hold back the
crowd that filled the hall of the House
and pressed about its entrances. .

In the hall of the House the wildest
scenes were witnessed during the first
hour of the session. All of the 101
members were in their Seats. After
the name of Boxwell had been pre-
sented by Representative Jones (Rep)
and séconded by two other Republi-
can-s, the Democh did not partici-
pate in the speaking.

As the ballot proceeded there were

loud cheers as the doubtful members
responded to their names, and when
the roll call approached the close and
Mason secured thle'necessaiy majority
there was a long demonstration t. .ai
delayed the ofliclal announcement 01

' the vote.

The first ballot resulted: Mason 56,
Boxwell 53. as 'had been claimed
since Saturday night by the combined
opposition to Senator Hanna. Thc
combine then completed the organiza-
tion of the House.

Hanna Claims Victory.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 4.—Late. last
night Mr; Hanna said that his election
was; not in doubt, as he asserts to have
had assurances” that four of the fusion
Republicans would Vote for him for
Senator, and that they only united
with the Democrats for the purpose of
defeating Boxwell for Speaker. Eaéh
faction still has one' week to get their
fighting strength in line. and such a
thing as more, recruits to .the Hanna.
side in more than likely. ,

SHRIBKS ‘ FOLLOW CHEERS

Tho truer of the London, Cut” City Hall

‘ Collapses While the Speakers Were
Addressing the Crowd—The Building
Was an Old One—An Awful Panic.

London, Ont, Jan. 4.———One of the
hottest and most stubbornly contested
municipal elections ever known in this
city culminated last night in a. tragedy
that has put the city in mourning.

At‘the close of the polls the crowd, as
is usual, gathered in the‘City Hall.
where it has been the custom for years
past for the successful candidates to
address the electors. The meeting had
been conducted in the .usual manner
and was about to be closed, it hen the
floor in the northeast corner of the hall
gave way, and the people Situated in
that section were precipitated to the
floor below. I

An alarm of fire was sounded and the
brigade soon reported and began the
work of removing the debris and tak-
ing from the ruins the" bodies of the
dead and injured. At midnight fifteen
bodies had been taken from the wreck-
ed building and identified.

The list of dead follows:

John Barridge,’ C. Beckett, J. W’. Borland, OS-
wald Bruce, L. W. Burke N. Carlothers, ——
Harris, F. Heaman, — Hilbum, B. Jacques,
R. Leigh, E. Luxton, James McLean, Ben
Nash, A. Phillips, Frank Robinson“ ——-Tal-
bot, JohnTumer, unidentified man.

How many were injured will never
be known, as those who suffered but
slightly at once made for their homes
or were taken care of 'by friends. Those
who were more seriously injured were
carried to neighboring drug stores,
from whence they were taken to the
hospital or to their homes after their
attended to. The
dead were taken to the committee
rooms of Alderman Parnell, the defeat-
ed candidate for Mayor, across the
street,

The building was crowded to the
very doors, probably 2,000 persons be—
ing jammed in its narrow space. There
was a lull in the proceedings,
the audience called for several of the
newly elected Aldermen at‘ once and
there was some delay in securing a
speaker to address them. Alderman
Carrothers joined the Mayor in an ef—
fort to secure quiet. In response to

numerous calls R. M. Toothe was
pushed forward to the platform on
which the speakers stood. As he

reached it there was an ominous crack-
ling and the raised platform on which
the Mayor and newly elected Aldermen
were seated seemed to pitch forward to
the floor.

There wasa sagging of timbers, and
the next moment 150 people were hurl-
ed twenty feet to the floor below.
A beam running twenty feet along the
centre of the hall had given way and
the crowded mass standing above that
section of the flo‘Or was thrown in a
heap to the bottom. A large safe stood
in one corner of the hall and a. huge
.ste'am coil weighing half a. ton came
crashing down on the heads of the vic-
tims.

Following the crash there was a. wild
rush for the doors. At the south door,
Where the majority of the crowd had
entered, there was a terrible panic.
Those in front were thrown down by
the oncoming rush, shrieking and fight-
ing for the door and safety. Only one-
half of the‘rear door, a. space of proba-
bly three feet, was open, and in the
rush no one thought to open the other
half of the door, and 500 people strug-
gled through the narrow space, the
strong bearing down the weaker.

Within a moment after thee floor had
fallen in there were not more than
three persons in the hall on that 'por-
tion of the floor which had not fallen.

A glance at the wreck after the ca-
tastrophe disclosed the fact- that a
whole section of the floor had dropped,
the joists being as neatly cut off as
though the work had been done with a
saw. The building was an old one,
having been erected early in the fifties,
and of late years additional stories had
been placed on the old walls. '

Judge Day Denies It.

Washington, Jan. 4.——Assistant Sec-
retary Day returned to Washington
yesterday from Canton. Regarding
the published story that a movement
is contemplated to substitute his name
forth-at of Senator Hanna. as a. candi-
date for the Senate. Judge Day said:

“Th-ere is nothing, absolutely noth—
ing, in the statement. I believe that
Mr. Hanna will be elected, as he
Should be.”

This last statement was made after
Judge Day had been informed of the
election 'of Mason as Speaker of the
Ohio House of Representatives. The
news from Columbuswas taken to the
White House, and Secretary Porter
carried the bulletin immediately to the
President.

lay in a. precarious condition, and there

Manchester, Eng, Jan. 4.-—The Man
cheater Guardian says:

"The Government has categorically
stated that Great Britain will refuse
to recognize any special rights granted
at an}7 Chinese port to any particular
powerfi Any port opened to one power
must be opened to all, or open tr.
none. If Russia has been granted the

or does not concede the righrt.”

Great Britain’s Claim.
Continuing, the Guardian says:
“If Germany obtains a. naval station

at Kiao Chou, Great Britain insists
upon having a lease of ground for a
naval station at the same port, and
she will support every other power
making the same claim.

“The contention of the Government
is that the most favored nations clause
in the British and all other treaties
with China. forbids any special conces-
sions of the nature contemplated" by
Germany at Kiao Chou, and prevents
nations from acdu'iring special benefits
in which the others have not a share.

Will Use Force if Necessary.

“The Government has also declared
that the same principle app-lies to such
transactions as railway and mine
monopolies. Taking the stand on the
treaties, Great Britain refuses to ac—
knowledge such concessions, and will
insist upon similar railway and 'mine
rights, and will use such force to se-
cure or defend them as may be neces-
sary.

"This declaration does not apply to
céssiqns of territory to which the ex~
issting treaties do not refer; but, rela-
tive to this contingency, the dispatch
of Great Britain to China observes
that when it occurs graver questions
will arise. The Government will then
consider the manner in which British
interests can best be safeguarded, and
the form which the compensation to
Great Britain for the Special adVan-
tages of other nations must take.

MARK T \‘VAIN'B NEW. BOOK.

lho Author is Entirely Sail-fled With Ell
Latest Produoclon. _

. “I am more than satisfied with it. I

wouldn’ t. trade it for any book I have

 

ever written, and I are not uneasy

person to please.”

Thus wrote Mark Wain in a. recent
letter to the publishers of his forth-
coming book, “Following ‘ the Equa-
tor,"~which bears the sub-title “A Trip
Around the World. " ' ‘

'A good deal of worry was undergone
by both author and publisher before
the above title was selected for the
book. It was erroneously stated not
long ago that the name chosen for the
volume referred to Mark Twain’s for-
mer role as an Innocent Abroad, and
pictured him as the Survivor of a group
of travellers whom his pen had made
famous. An objection was raised to
the lobby does the promoting, or is
underwent the pleasures and perilsfot
the New Pilgrim's Progress.

 

MARK TWAIN.
013 “Following the Equator" the an-

thor recently said: “Regarding my
book of travels, the story of my jour-
ney around the world, everybody has
done his little circumnavigation act,
and I though-t it about time I did mine
so I have been getting it ready, and it
is just my impression of the world at
large. _I go into no details. I never
do, for that matter. Details are not
my strong point, unless I choose for
my own pleasure to- go into them seri—
ously. Besides I am'under no contract
to supply details to the reader. All
that I undertake to do is to interest
him. If I instruct him that is his fate.
He is that much aheat .”

The dedication of _“Following
Equator” is a characteristic morsel. It
runs as follows:

THIS BOOK
AFFECTIONATELY
T0
My Young Friend
HARRY ROGERS,
with recognition
of what he is, and apprehension of
what he may become unless he
' form himself a. little more
closely upon the model ,of
The Author.

One of the most striking pictures in
the book illustrates the “Legend of the
l—lindoo Samson.” In his quaint way
Mark Twain tells the Oriental tale, of
Hanuman, a Samson and'Atlas com-

IS INSCRIBED

‘bined, who carried the mountains in-

land from the sea and scattered them
here‘ and there in India. " -

That the legend cannot, be success-
fully scouted, says Mark Twain, is
proved by the fact that the mountains
are to be seen 10-day just where Han-
uman placed them.

In following the equator Mark Twain
zonscientiously endeavored to enlarge
his long list of accomplishments.’ In
lndia he took a lesson in elephant rid'
ing. He says:

To the elephant stables and I took
1 ride, but it'was by request—I did not
ask for it and I did not want it, but I
took it because otherwise they would
have thought I was afraid, which I
was. The elephant kneels down by

command—one end of him at a time—

and you climb the ladder and get into
the howdah, and then he gets up, one
end at a time, just as a ship gets over
a wave; and after that, as he strides
monstrously about, his motion is much
like a ship’s motion. The mahout
bores into the back‘of his“head with a
great iron prod, and you wonder at his
temerity and at the elephant’s patience,
and you think that perhaps the pa-
tience will not last; but it does, and
nothing happens. ‘The mahout talks
to the elephant in a low voice alllthe

time. and the elephant seems to un-

derstand it all andto be pleased with
it, and he obeys every order in the
most contented and docile way. Among
these twenty-five elephants. were two
which were larger than any I had ever
seen before, and if I had thought I
could learn to not be afraid I would

have taken one of them while the po«'

lice were not looking.

Round-Eyed Fish.

The jeriopphthalmus, a fish of China,
Japan, India, the Malay archipelago
and Eastern. Africa, is probably the
oddest of creatures with its eyes out
of place. The poor fish gets its name
from its eyes; all the terrible cogno-
men means after all is round-eyed.
These organs are very round and
prominent, and possess, for a fish, the
rare property of looking around on all
sides}; they are situated at the top of
the animal’s head. This fish is pe-
culiar also in that it hops out of wa-
ter to pursue its prey, jerking along,
on its pectoral fins and breathing the
oxygen from quantities of water which
it has stored up in its, immense gill
cavities. *
