POLITICAL MATTERS,
The Battle for Senatorship in
Ohio.
SENATOR HANNA STILL SHORT.
Republicans Divided in the Mary
land Legislature,
Columbus, O., Jan. 5 - The politi
cal future or Senator Hanna is cer
tainly In n closely poised balance.
While there are now reported to be
only nine dissenters among the
eighty Republican members, one In
the senate ana eignt in uic uousc.
Some or the dissenting Republicans
are not likely to ever be reconciled to
Mr. Hanna. They have burned their
bridges behind them and openly ad
mit it.
Representatives Griflltb, of Union,
and Joyce, of Guernsey, who voted
with "the combine," on the organiza
tion of the house, stated that they
would vote for Senator Hanna. This
gives Hanna 54 in the house and 17 in
the senate, a total of 71, or two short
of a majority. Droste, of Hamilton,
who voted for Boxwell for speaker,
announced at the time that he would
support Jeptha Gerald, theSllvcr Re
publican, for senator, so that the net
gain for Hanna up to date, oyer the
vote on organization, is only one.
The Hanna men say they expect
the votes of Scott? of i toiler, and Ru
tan, or Carroll, who were instructed
Tor Hanna and voted for "tho com
bine'' on organization.
On the other hand tho "combine"
managers bay that Scoit and Rutan
will remain with them to the finish
and that they expect to get Snyder,
of Green, and Redkey, of Highland,
who voted Tor Boxwell for speaker.
Doubtful members are being of.
fered their choice of chairmanships
and given an opportunity to make
all other selections they want.
While Kurtz and his associates will
make no statements yet they are hold
ing back appointments on committees
and other patronage in anticipation
of gaining several votes on thc sena
torial ballot,
It is believed that Mayor McKlsson
will give way to Kurtz for the short
term for senator, while Governor
Bushncll has all along been regarded
as the candidate for the long term.
Representatives' Wiley, of Wayne;
Powell, of Morrow; Nlles, of Lucas,
and other radical free silver Demo
crats are not satlsUed with Kurtz
and Bushnell, and If they vote for Re
publicans they want them with pro
nounced silver records like that of
Gerrard and others that .are named.
Some of the Democratic members In
sist that the breach is so wide and so
deep now between the Republicans
that John R. McLean, or some other
free silver Democrat, could be elected
over Hanna.
Letters and telegrams poured in to
day on Governor Bmshnell, from dis
senting Republican members and
others, protesting against the
action of Republicans who are co
operating with tho Democrats. In
reply, those about the headquarters
In the Great South hotel ievlved tho
talk of the American Protectlye As
sociation, worklngmen and others be
ing opposed to Hanna. It was
charged that the senator had Mrs.
Griffith annoyed by his emissaries,
and that tho senator was with her
two hours before her husband an
nounced himself for nanna.
The announcements by the Repub
licans, that they would hae no
Joint senatorial caucus at any time
previous to billotlng fot senator will
compel all to continue In this guer
rilla warefaro for another week. The
senate and house will ballot separ
ately next Tuesday for senator. The
senate will stand 19 to 17 against
Hanna, by Senator Burke voting with
the Democrats, The house, on Mon
day stood 50 to 53. It is now 65 to 54
against Uanna. This would settle
the contest if "the combine" in both
houses can concentrate on any candi
date against Hanna, and when the
two houses meet on the following day,
January 12th, to canvass it In joint
assembly, the vote of the previous
dav. as cast by each branch separately,
there would be nothing to do except
to announce the total result as 74 to
71 against Hannar But, if Senator
Hanna has not a majority one week
henco it is doubtful whether any op
ponent will have it, and tho general
prediction is for a deadlock.
Late last night the nanna manag
ers lost two of the doubtful members
they had gained, so that there is now
no material change from Tues
day, when the house stood 58 to 53
against Hanna. This would give the
senator only seventy votes on Joint
ballot, or three less than enough to
elect. In connection with the change
of Representative' Griffith back to
the antl-Hanna camp there are most
scandalous sensational reports in cir
culation. Griffith has been on both
sides several times, and has so pledged
himself In writing.
Another Republican Split.
Annapolis, Md Jan. 5. What
promises to prove a serious split
among the Republicans in the Mary
land legislatuie developed, when an
attempt was made to caucus for
officers of .the general assembly which
convenes tomorrow. Twelve of the
eighteen members of the Baltimore
delegation refused to take part In Abe
caucus, and tho (Jther RepubMcans
met without therm
The recalcitrants are known as
"Malster" men, because they are ad
herents of that faction.whlch recently
dethroned United StaiesSenator Wei
lington from tho leadership of the
party. The faction is looked upon as
a protest against thejproposed election
of Judge McConias to the United
States senate. It Is asserted that the
"Malsterltes" will combine with the
Democrats and organize the lower
house, unless their demands are com
piled with.
Van Wyck's Inaugura
A Rebuke to W!ridbag Orators.
Tha Mayor of Greater JNew York Will
Be Responaible tolthe People.
"The people have chosen me to be
mayor;I received the office from them,
and to them I will answer."
Those twenty words comprise the
Inaugural address or Mayor Van
Wyck, or Greater New York. Mr.
Van Wyck has very wittily rebuked
the meaningless wlndbair oratory that
usually disgraces inaugural addresses
empty phases to grace the occasion
which they really dishonor. He has
put In twenty words the whole dec
alogue or American doctrine relating
to government. The onlyconrcssion of
faith that an American public ser
vant ought ever to take on his lips
Whatever may be said In praise of
Seth Low, and there wai much, he
was the candidate of the millionaires
and aristocrats, who are dragging
this government of tho people down'
from its hlgti ideal into tue siougns
of corruption aud demoralization of
private and clyle virtue.
Thank God, that Mayor Van Wyck
Is for the people! That he has the
courage to say so 1 That he had the
manhood to spit upon the base ad
ulation of capitalism displayed by his
predecessor upon retiring, who said:
"My Impresslon.is that this old city,
in which you and I have lived for
about the same number of years this
old city or New York that is passing
away will contribute $3,000,000,000
worth or property to thq new city or
which you will be mayor, $23,000,000
of banking stock, and $1,000,000,000 or
deposits."
Without stopping to ask who made
that wealth, and how it had been
largely transrerred by might or spec
ial legislation from the hands of the
toilers to the hands of tho voters who
supported Low, let us rejoice that the
new mayor talks right at tho start
for the people andwe cannot assume
that he means ttie capitalistic classes.
His speech Is addressed to tho heart
or the despondent, tho cru-lied hu
manity in tho submerged tenement
districts, tho laborer whose ramily
cries ror bread and sleeps on rags,
"to those who have railed," as Walt
'Whitman call them.
It Is probably well at the close of
tho century that such a.mau has been
chosen ror mayor of Greater New York.
It. is time to call a halt in windy
platitudes and political verbosity that
Is only Intended to deceive the un
thinking and gloss oyer the situation.
Here is a man who has revived the
Immortal words of Lincoln and the
fathers that government shall be for
people, not ror dead capital; that it
owes as much to a hungry stomach
as It docs to a lifeless bank-vault; pro
tection to both. Some such man will
be chosen president in 1000.
Will be Extended.
Washington, Jan., 5. The benefits
derived from the rural delivery of
mail matter, it Is believed, will be ex
tended as soon as authority can bo ob
tained from congress on the subject.
At the request or tho house Dost
offlce commlttee.Flrst Assistant Postmaster-General
Heath is preparing
ammendments to the appropriation
bill, giving carriers in rural districts
authority to receive money orders
from patrons and to receipt for and
deliver registered letters. The addi
tional dnty can bo readily performed
by the carriers, who will, If the scheme
Is put into operation, become "the
traveling postolllces.''
Country people will have, therefore,
nearly all the benefits enjoyed by resi
dents or the city in this regard, as the
carriers are now permitted to carry
postal cards and stamped envelopes ror
sale. Should tho proposition work
well, the department will be enabled
to abolish many of the small post-
effices along tue star routes.
Leiter Belling Wheat.
Chicago, Jan. 5. Joseph Leltcr Is
said to have closed contracts for tho
greater part, if not all, or his 8,000,000
bushels or cash wheat. Negotiations
have been under way for several days,
and are about closed. The buyersare
L. Drcyrus & Co., or New York, the
French exporters, and Gil & Fisher,
or Baltimore, Nothing Is known about
the terms, but they are believed to be
satlsractory to Leiter.

NOONDAY FIRE.
Residence of T. A. King Burned Loo
Will Aggregate $1400.
A defective lluo together with the
absence of any tiro protection accounts
for the burning of the two-story,
eight room residence ot T. A. King in
Morulngsldo between 12 und 1 o'clock
today.
Tho flro was first discovered shortly
before the noon hour, by neighbors
who observed flames Issuing from the
roof. The alarm was rapidly spread
aud In u short lime a huge number or
workers weieon the scene. The tire,
which originated in tho vicinity
ot stairway on the second floor,
aud uo ladders being obtainable,
made It Impossible for tho willing
helpers to rescue any furnlturo from
mm Door. However they devoted
their energies to removing all furni
ture from tho first floor, in which
they were successful.
Tho residence was comparatively
new, having been built but about
three years ago. Mr. King estim
ates tho loss to his dwelling at $000
but is fortunate us ho carried an In
surance on the buUding, for $000
with a San Francisco firm, the
agent for whom, in this city
at tho timo tho policy was Issued,
was P. S. Knight.
The loss to tho furniture on the
second floor, all of which was con
sumed by tho flro will probably amount
to $450, Put this was partially In
sured. Mr, King lost all of his clothing
except what ho was wearing, as did
also Miss Anna Anderson, Mrs. King's
sister, who also lost a quantity of
jewelry.
Unfortunately the insurance poli
cies ror both tho residence and tho
rurnlturo wcro kept in' a truuk but
it was Impossible to savo that piece
or furniture. It Is hoped Mr. King
will experience no trouble In obtain
ing tho Insurance money.
Mr. King is an employo of the
Goodale Lumber company, In this
city, and was lirst Informed of the tiro
about 12:30 o'clock by a telephone
message. He hastened to hi e subur
ban home, only to find It a smoulder
ing heap ot ashes.

told every incident that will mark the
mlnutesof his ast hours or lire, From
the moment that he awakenes next
Friday morning until Warden Hale
gives the slunal to spring the gallows
trap, Theodore Durrant knows what
is expected or him.
A book and several papers on re
ligious subjects were rc.-elvedat tho
prison yesterday for Durrant. They
were offerings from a woman who re
sides In Toronto. She was a resident
of San Francisco three years ago and
has displayed an Interest In Durrani's
affairs since his arresls for the mur
der of Blancho Lamont. Deputy
"Warden Edgar made a thorough in
spection or the book and papers and
then permitted to have them.
The authorities suspect that some
or Durrant's legal advisors may at
tempt sonic play at the very moment
or tho execution. Durrant may In
vite live or tho fifty people who will bo
present, but Warden Halo will revlso
the llst.so It Is unlikely that any or his
attorneys will be seen beside tho gal
lows. Tho condemned man has made tho
following requests:
First, that the rope used to hang
him shall bo destroyed Immediately
after his deaf', that no person can say
that he held a piece of It as a me
mento; second, that nono of the In
spectors shall bo allowed to gaze upon
his features after ho Is excuted; third,
that no autopsy shall bo held after
death and that no physician bo al
lowed to examine his body; fourth,
that after lie is pronounced dead his
remains shall be delivered to his par
ents as soon as possible.
Tho father of Theodore Durrant
has received from Meridian, Tex., a
document which purports to bo tho
original alleged confession of Joseph
E. Blanther to the murders or Blancho
Lamont and Minnie Williams. It
will bo used lu ttio final efforts to se
cure a stay of execution.
In tho United States circuit court
before United States Judges Morrow
and Dehavcn, Attorney Deuproy suc
ceeded in obtaining lcavo to present
and lllo a petition for a writ ot habeas
corpus on behalf of Durrant, who is
confined at Sin Quentin. When tho
petition had been heard and
Deuprey had concluded his argument,
Judge Morrow announced that tho
matter would bo taken under advise
ment by tho court and a decision ren
dered some tlmo today.
