NO 300
TO BEAT MARK HANNA
Results of the Fight Cannot
be Foretold.
THE OUTLOOK IS VERY DUBIOUS
Neither Nlitn !!a Hnfflolnnt Support
rii-dffiHl tn Klrct Senator
Hanna Tnrn Short.
Coi.uMinifl, Jan. 4. Previous to the
assembling of the legislature today there
were conleronces on both Bides on the
senatorial contest. The Hunna men
claimed pledges from Representatives
Griflith and Joyce, who voted for Mason
yestesday for Bieaker, but with these
doubtful accessions they are still short
two votes of enough to elect. While
Hunna's friends are working here, the
Republican clubs, committees and other
organizations at the homes of doubtful
combination men have been enlisted,
and many delegations of visiting states
men ure arriving.
The combined opposition to Han na is
still uncertain as to their candidate. The
opposition claims enough votes to defeat
Hunna, but has not yet claimed enough
votes for any senatorial candidate men
tioned by the combine to elect. The:
trouble is not only to hold ull their pres
rut forces in line against Hanna, but to
get them to agree upon their man for
senator. The work today was devoted
by the combine to holding their forces,
and manage them for the senatorial con
test as waB done yesterday for the or
ganization of both branches of the legis
lature.
The 'vork of the Hanna men has been
devoted to skirmishing tor two or more
votes.
In the house all sorts of bills were in
troduced against corporations. The
measures were regarded us thrusts at
Ilauna, whose affairs are of varied in
terests.
While these measures were being
thrown in, delegation from Spring
field, the home of Governor ltushnell,
marched into the statehouse, wearing
Hunna badges, and called on Bushnell.
in reeponse to the protest the governor
made u speech, in which ho said his re
publicanism had never been questioned,
uud he reserved the right to ills indi
vidual opinions and preferences.
The bouse adjourned until tomorrow.
There is much unfinished business, but
the combine does not Intend to announce
any of the standing committees until
after the joint senatorial caucuses are
held tomorrow night.
The senate ut noon took a recess until
1 :30, without announcing any of its com
mittees. The proceedings In both bouses showed
plainly that everything possible would
be done by those who held the fort to
beat Hunna. During the uoon recess
tho conferences and jolltication meetings
of the combine were continued.
During the noon recess there wete
severul list fights. Surprise was created
at the announcement that the Hannu
men bad changed their plane for a joint
senatorial Republican caucus tomorrow,
but the light will go on without any cau
cus decrees on either side.

Addio Brown, domestic, aged 19, wus
frightfully burned at tho home of her
employer, John Green. Bho bad been
washing all day, and, being tired, lay
down near the kitchen stove for a rest
The wood used in tho stove was too long
for the firebox, and burned in two. The
projecting ends fell from tho stove, ig

When she awoke her clothes were on fire
and she rushed into the yard, frantically
trying to tear them from her person
Fright rendered her efforts futile, and
she fell to the ground in agony, from
which she became unconscious, the
liames still doing their work. Neigh
bors, noticing her horrible predicament
rushed to her rescue, smothering the
flames, but not until her arms, limbs

nearly roasted. She. was removed to the
