' Illepublicans Are Fighting Hard
to Save Mark Hanna.
HE STILL L‘AGKS TWO VOTES
Opposition t‘annot Agree on a Can-
didate to Oppose the Senator—The
Denmcrnts Refuse to Accept Any;
Republican Yet Suggested.
Columbus. 0., Jan. 5.——Previous to
the assembling of the Legislature there
were conferenceszon ‘both sides in the
Senatorial contest. The Hanna men
claimed to-have secured pledges from
Representative es Griffin, of Union, 'and
Joyce, of Carroll,- who voted for Ma.-
son on Monday for Speaker; but with
these doubtful accessions, they were
still short two votes of enough to elect.
While Hanna’s friends are werking
here the Republican County commit-
tees, clubs andiother organizations at
the homes ‘of the doubtful Republican
7members have been enlisted, and many
‘compliment to the Columbus
' There
delegations of “visiting statesmen” are
arriving, one of the first being from the
home of Gov. Bushnell, of Springfield.
The combined opposition to Hanna
claims to have enough votes to defeat
Hanna, but they have not yet claimed'
enough votes to elect any one Sena-
torial candidate mentioned by the com—
.bine.
The trouble is not only to hold their
present forces in line against Hanna,
but 'to get them to agree upon their
man for Senator. The work of the
Hanna men has been devoted to skirm-
ishing for two' or more votes.
In the House yesterday all sorts of
bills were introduced against corpora—
tions. These measures were regarded
as thrusts at Senator Hanna, whose
business interests are varied. An
amendment to the Nichols law, which
taxes the earnings of express, tele-
grap’h, telephone and other companies,
was introduced so as to include sgreet
railways, electric - lignt and .power
equipment, artificial and natural gas,
sleeping-car and all other corporations.
There was also a. bill introduced to
repeal the law for a new State House.
This was regarded as' returning the
people
who have expressed their disapproba-
tion of the course of Gov. Bushnell.
The House adjourned at noon to-day.
is much unfinished business,
but the combine does not intend to an-
nOunce any of the Standing committees
till after the joint Senatorial canonses
to-night.
THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
Mr. Hanna’s Friends 'More Encour-
.,flged—Secretury Sherman 'l‘nlks.
Washington, Jan. 5.—The news f10m_
Columbus received in WaShington f1 om
private sources is a. little brighter Mr.
,Hanna’ s friends have sdmewhat recov-
ered from their surprise over the defeat
of Roxwell for Speaker, and advices
show that all, the Republicans who
bolted on the Speakership contest will
not refuse to ,vote for _,Mr. Hanna.
There is great indignation over the
course. of Gov. Bushnell, and many
telegrams have been sent from this city
protesting against his action.
It is said here that Mr. Hanna has
received assurances from several gold
Democratic members of the Legislature
that they will vote for him should the
silver Democrats combine with the
anti- Hanna Republicans to elect a. sil-
ver man.
Secretary Sherman, in talking abOut
the matter, said. “I can 11 ell under-
stand from the press reports which I
have read that the-re must be g1eat ex-
citement in Columbus. No, I cannot
predict what will be the outcome. I
have no sources of information beyond
what I see, in the papers, and the situ-
. ation does not warrant any offhand
comment.”
Assistant Secretary Day still insists
that 'he will not be a. candidate, nor
could he accept an election in place of
Mr. Hanna. He believes that Mr.
Hanna will be elected, notwithstanding
the opposition.
The President Confident.
, . . ,
Washington, Jan. 5.——-At the meeting
of the Cabinet yesterday the Senatorial
situation in Ohio was ,alluded to, and
the President expressed not only his
deep concern in the result, but also his
belief thater. Hanna would succeed
himself. ' '

Washington, Jan. 5.—-While no infor-
mation of an Official character is to be
obtained at the White House regarding
the successor to Colonel W. R. Mor-
rison on the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission, the belief is general that the
President has not yet decided whom
he will appoint. It was supposed for
a time that Judge‘Paxso'n, 'of Pennsyl-
vania, had been determined upon defi-
nitely, but the indications now are that
- the President will appoint a Western

“MALSTER'” MEN 351.1.
Some Republican. ianu-yluna Leg_
' islature Oppose McComas.
Annapolis, Md. Jan 5. —— What
promises to prove a serious split among
the Republicans in the Legislature de—
veloped last night when an attempt was
made to caucus for officers of the Gen-
eral Assembly, which meets to- day.
Twelve of the eighteen members from
Baltimore refused to take part in the
caucus, and after waiting for an hour
beyond the. appointed time the other
Republicans met without them.
The recalcitrants.ue Malster men,
adherents of the faction which recently
dethroned United States Senator Well-
ington from the leadershipof the party
in the State.
‘Last night’s action is looked upon as
a protest against the election of Judge
McComas to the Senate. It is asserted
Ith’at the "M'alsterities” will combine
with the Democrats and organize the
lower house to- day unless their de--
mands are complied with
Shaw’s Trial Postponed.
Camden, N. J., Jan. 5.—The trial of
Eli Shaw for the murder of his grand-
mother, Mrs. Emma Zane, has been
abandoned until the April term of
court. This decision was reached yes-
terday after a. conference between the
Court and counsel for both sides. No
reason is ofiicially assigned for this
action. It is \known, ;however, that
Shaw belongs to an order of which one
of the jurors is also a member. The
branch to which Shaw belongs iecent-
ly passed 1esolutions expressing be-
lief in his innocence, and these fadts
are thought to have had a. bearing upon
the fixing of the triai‘datc. Shaw was
also accused 'of the murder of his
mother, but the prosecutor elected to
try the two murder cases separately.
To Be Hanged Feb. 16.
New York, Jan. 5.—Edward Clifford,
the former West Shore Railroad de-
tective who on March 5, 1895, shot and
killed William Wattson, superintendent
of that railroad, in his ofl‘ice in' Wee-
hawken because the superintendent
would not reinstate him as detective,
was arraigned in the Hudson County
iner in Jersey
City yesterday for resentence. Clif-
ford was convicted of the ‘murder and
sentencedto be hanged. Judge Lip-
pincott sentenced Clifford to 1-be hanged
in the Hudson County Jail, Jersey City,
on Wednesday, Feb. 16. next.
No Hope for Recovery.
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 5z—The death
of United States Patent Commissioner
Benjamin Butterworth is momentarily
expected. He is lying unconscious in
his room at a. hotel here, and the phy-
sicians say‘ there is no hope 11 hate1 e1
for his recove1 y.
Since he was stricken 011 Monday he
has gradually been g1owing weake1,
and, although the resident and New
York doctors are exhausting them-
selves in an effort to save his life, they
say the only thing they can accomplish
is to case his pain. Telegrams of sym-
pathy are pouring in from all sections.

Famous Baseball manager Dead.
New York,'-Jan. 5.—Char1es H. Byrne,
the baseball magnate and manager of
the Brooklyn baseball team, died yes—
terday at his residence, 107 West Elev-
enth street. Mr. Byrne had been ill
for a month, suffering from a. compli-
cation of diseases. He was uncon-
scious for two days before his death.
Byrne was born in this city in 1848. He
had always been interested in outdoor
sports, especially in baseball, and in
1883 he became president of the Brook-
lyn Baseball Club. He held that of-
fice up to the time he was taken 111.
Fitz In Very Angry.
Oshkosh, Wis, Jan. 5.—“T'he state-
ment to the effect that I was mixed up
in a bar-room fight in Sheboygan, \Vis;
Sunday night, in which Attorney
I
Hughes was injured by a. blow from‘
Edward B: McDaniels, a comedian with
my troupe, is a lie,” said Robert Fitz-
simmons last night. “I was not pres-
ent when the trouble occurred, but was
sound asleep in my room at the hotel.'
The trouble did not occur in the bar-'
room, but in the billiard hall of the
hotel. I think it is a rank shame to
connect my name with the affair, to
make me out a bar-room leafer."
