' I Four. days before the Russian Czar travels along any. railroad line the’ lat- ter is patrolled on both sides by sen- tinels, who are stationed at a distance of 200 yards fromone another. They keep their eyes open, but otherwise are allowed to take it easy, taking what is known as the “first position," the rifle being slung from the shoulder. Six hours before the passage of the Im- perial «train they assume .the “second position.” That is tosay, they Should- er their rifles and march briskly up and down with every-mental faculty on the uni .vive. ‘ . An hour before the Imperial train passes they assume the “third po- sition," standing with their backs tow- ard the line and the train, and allbw? ing no one under any circumstances to approach within a hundred yards of the track until ten minutes after the Emperor has passed. Should any one attempt to approach they have orders to challenge, and if the individual con- tines to approach in spite of challenge and warning, they have orders to shoot . to ki ll —Cor.

Lee Sends Scathing Reports on. the Cuban Situation; \Vashington, Jan. 13.—While the Spanish Government has been telling the world that, Cuban autonomy‘has come. to stay, and the new civil au- thorities of the island have been spreading broadcasl informatiOn about the successful inauguration of the au- tonomist scheme, Consulr. General Lee has «been telling a different story, in the State Department. The Consul- General 'is on record officially as say; ing that the policy of autonomy will not succee . He has pointed out the utter inability of the Sagasta Ministry ' to make the thban people accept in good faith his promises of reform He has given reasons for the prediction that the Insular Government will not accomplish its avowed purposes, and docks for a collapse at an early date. These reports from Gen. Lee cannot be obtained for publication, because this would bean affront to Spain, and probably would force to a crisis the al~ ready strained relations betweenthat country and the United States. There is no doubt, however, that Gen. Lee has made the plainest sort of com— ments on the autonomy plan. Incensed at Our Aid. Madrid, Jan. 12. ——A dispatch he.

BATTLE IN A COLIJRT ROOM. Order to Disarm Spectators Starts a Shooting Afl‘ruyuSeveral Injured. Mount Vernon, Ky., Jan. 12.—At_the examining trial of William Hundley for killing John ,Lawrence, Judge VVil- liams yesterday ordered the court room cleared so that all who desired to re— turn might be examined for weapons and disarmed. _ Five minutes afterward rifles in front of the court house in the hands of “Pat” and Elijah Langford were fir— ing at former Jailer William Mullins and his friends. Several revolvers re- plied from various quarters. Those injured by the Langfords were C.‘ L; King, who received two bullets through the thigh, considered ‘danger-. ous, and W'illiam Mullins, shot through both hands The Langfords claim it was an accident in shooting King. All the participants were jailed, includ- ing. former Deputy Sheriff Reuben Mullins, who fired at the Langfords until they disappeared. In the court room when the. shoot- ing occurred, Hundiey, thinking his father had been killed, seized the gun of a guard and attempted to rush to the fray. It required six men to hold him. The trouble mriginated during'the last campaign when a. number of lead- ing ‘Republicans bolted the ticket as nominated, among them being Sheriff Mullins, Mr. King'and many" others. At Crooked Creek precinct at the late election Sheriff Mullins attempted to arrest some parties. A fight started, and one of the Langford' boys was killed, and two others wounded, in- cluding Joseph Lawrence, who was killed a few days ago by- William Hundiey. QUARTZ.,LEDGE FOUND.

Columbus, 0., Jan. 13.—Marcus A. Hanna was yesterday elected United States Senator, both for the shortand 'long'terms in the joint ballot of the Legislature. The vote was Hanna 73, McKisson 70. There was only one ab- sentee. The 1011 of the Senate was called first, and there were no changes from the votes of Tuesday—19 for McKisson and 17 for Hanna. ~ ' *The vote in the House was precisely the same as that of' all the votes cast Tuesday in the two ballots for the short and long’ terms for Senator There are 103'meml1crsIof the House. The 56 Hanna men voted solidly. Mr. Cramer was absent and is still very,- sick. The other .Democratic members and bolting Re ublicans voted for an in- vestigation'before electing a Senator. Mr. Stewart, one of the Hanna lead— ers, said there would come a proper time for the fullest investigation, but this was the time for electing a Sen- ator. He moved to take a. recess till noon. The opposition moved to amend "by taking a 1ecess for five minutes. The motion was lost by 52 yeas anal 56 nays. The balloting then began. Lieutenant Governor Jones announced the result as follows: Hanna, 73 votes; McKis- son, 70; one absentee. ' The result in the House for the long term was the same as that for the short term. General Wiley again voted for Lentz. Lieutenant Governor Jones announcer! the result, and .declared Marcus A. Hanna elected. On motion of Senator Alexander a committee of five was sent to escort Senator Hanna to the hall. Senators Alexander and Sullivan and Represen- tatives Stewart, Leland and Bolin were appointed‘as the escort committee, and while they were en‘ route to ‘the hotel the crowds in the State House and out— side indulged in all sorts of demon— strations over the'final result. To Investigate Bribery Charges. Soon after the Senate assembled yes- tel day Senator Burke, of Cleveland, offered a resolution, demanding an in-' vestigati‘on into the charges that $1, 750 had been offered by alleged agents in the interest of Mr. Hanna for the vote of Representative Otis. The resolution provided for a commission of five con- sisting of, Messrs. Burke, Robinson. Fink, Garfield and Long. Senaton, Burke requested to have his name stricken out and that of Mr. Sullivan was sub- stituted. The committee thus constituted con— ‘sisted of three Democrats and two Re- publicans. A long and bitter discus- sion followed, led by Senator Burke for immediate consideration, and by Sen-. ator Sullivan, for full consideration. President hluch Gratlfied at the Result. Washington, Jan. 13.—The re-election of Senator Mark Hanna is well received by the members of the Ohio delegation in Congress. With one 01' two excep- tions, the Senator was the choice of the Riepublicans from that State, and many Democrats in the delegation 11 ere also inclined to look upon the contest against the Senator as a personal one in' which they had no concern. Had the Democrats in the Legislature fol- lowed the advice of the majority of the Democrats in the Ohio delegation he1 e, they would have refused to participate in the combination to defeat Hanna, but would have voted for a straight . DemoCratic candidate. At the White House the news Was carried to the President, and he is much gratified at the 1esult. Members of the Cabinet, too, are naturally pleased, as they look upon the'result as an indorsement from the State of Ohio 0f the present Administration. McKcnna’s Nomination Cmnes up To- Day.

The nomination of Goyernor Griggs, of New Jersey, may go to the Senate the latter part of' this .week, in the event that. the nomination of Judge McKenna is confirmed this week. Oth- erwise, it will be delayed until action 'isihad by the Senate on the McKenna nOmiInation. Altgelt \Vnuts Pure Prilna.1ies.
