G‘Republicans Are Fighting Hard
to Save Mark Hanna.
HE STILL LACKS TWO VOTES.
Opposition Cannot Agree on a Can-
didate to Oppose the Senator—The
Democrats Refuse to Accept Any
Republican Yet Suggested.
Columbus. 0., Jan. 5.———Previous to
the assembling of the Legislature there
new: confezences on both sides in the
Se11a:o1ial contest. The Hanna men
claimed to ‘have ”secured pledges from
Representatives Griffin, of Union, and
Joyce, of Carroll, who voted for Ma-
son on Monday for Speaker; but with
these doubtful accessions, they were
’ still sho1. two votes of enough to elect.
While Hanna’s friends ale working
here the Republican County commit-
tees, clubs and other organizations at
the homes of the doubtful Republican
members have been enlisted, and many
delegations of “visiting statesmen” are
arriving, one of the first being from the‘
home of Gov. Bushnell, of Springfield.
”The combined opposition to Hanna.
claii‘. r; to have enough votes to defeat
Harzta, but they 1ave not yet claimed
eno 311 votes to elect any one Sena-
. tor; ..1 candidate mentioned by the com-
-bi1‘,=:.
She trouble is not only to hold their
‘p1 sent f01ces in line against Hanna,
but to get them to agree upon their
man for Senator. The work of the
Hanna menhas been devoted to skirm-
ishing for two or more votes.
In the House yesterday all sorts of.
bills 11 ere int1oduced against cciipora-
tions. These measures were rge carded
as thrusts at Senator Hanna, whose
business interests are varied. An
amendment to the Nichols law, which
taxes the earnings of express, tele-
graph, telephone and other companies,
was introduced so as to include street
railways, electric light 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
compliment to the Columbus people
who have expressed their disapproba-
tion of the‘course of Gov. Bushnell.
The House adjourned ‘at noon to-day.
There is much unfinished business,
but the combine does not intend to an-
nounce any of the standing committees
till after the joint Senatorial caucuses
manight. '

THE News lN WASHINGTON.
.' 1
Mr, Hanna’s Friends More Encour-
aged—Secretary Sherman 'l‘nlks.
Washington, Jan. 5.——The news from
Columbus received in Washington from
private sources is a little brighter. Mr.
Hanna’s friends have somewhat 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 well under-
stand from the press reports which I
have read that the-re must be great 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
.t-he opposition.
1' The President Confident.
Vl’ashington, 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 that. Mr. Hanna would succeed
' himself.

Washington, D. C. Jan. 5.'——Fouzth-
class postmasters have been appointed

field, John S. Hall.

President May Ignore anson.
. Washington, Jan. 5.—While no infOr-
mation’ of an ofi‘icial 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 Paxson, of .‘Pennsyl-
vania, had been determined upon defi-
nitely, but the indications 'now are that
the President will appoint a. Western
.man, probably a man from Illinois.
Major Roe‘ for Major-General. Ti
New York, Jan. 5.——Maj-or Charles F.
Roe’s 'name was submitted to Gov-
ernor Black in Albany yesterday as
the choice of Adjutant General 0.
Whitney Tilling‘hasl: and the National
Guard of the State for permanent Ma...
jor General of the State troops, under
the scheme for the reorganization of
that body. The Governor, of course.
will not be bound by this selection,
but necessarily. it will carry great
weight.

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-
e1al Assembly which meets to— dav.
T 1\'(—l\ of the eighteen members £10m
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 are Malster men,
adherents of the faction which recently
dethroned United States Senator lVell-
ington from the leadership of 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
that the “Malsterities” will combine
with the Democrats and organize the
lower house to—day unless their de-
mands are complied with.

No Hope for Recovery.
Thomasville, Ga., Jan. 5.—.—The death
of United States Patent Commissioner l
Benjamin Butterworth is momentarily
expected. He is lying unconscious in
his 100m, at a hotel here, and the phy-
sicians say thete is no hope whatever
for his 1ecove1y.
Since he was stricken on Monday he
has gradually been growing weaker,
and, although the resident and New
York doctors ,are exhausting them-
selves in an effoi't to save his life, they
say the only thing they can accomplish
is to also his pain. Telegrams of sym—
pathy are pout-111g in from all sections.
Funlons Baseball Manager Dead.
New York, Jan. 5.—Charles H. Byrne,
the baseball magnate and manager of
the Brooklyn baseball team, died yes-
telduy at his residence, 107 West Elev-
enth street. Mr. Byrne had been ill

cation of diseases. He was uncon-
scious for two days before his death.

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 ill.
Fitz ISVVel-y Angry.
Oshkosh, W'ls., Jan. 5.—-"The state-
ment to the effect that I was mixed up
in a bar-room fight in Sheboygan, Wis.
Sunday night, in which Attorney
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 loafer." ‘ ,
