A SENATORIAL FIGHT,
The Battle at Columbus, 0.,
Ended,
MARK HANNAAGAIN VICTORIOUS
Elected Amidst Great Confuison and
Chrages of Bribery.
Columuhs, O , Jan. 12. The joint
legislative convention met today at
the regular hour and after some pre
liminary work Mark lianna received
enough votes to elect him senator for
both the short and long term9.
The announcement was made
amidst great excitement and an up
roarous confusion, charges of bribery
were freely made.
Routine.
- Both brandies of tho legislature
met Tuesday. Tho doors were locked
and the hall was very quiet.
The call of the house showed that
Representative Cramer, Democrat, of
Paulding county, was the ouly absen
tee, and the sergeant at-anus was dis
patched for him. Cramer Is very sick
and Ills physicians forbade his attend
ance, but Cratuei requested to be car
ried to t lie hall of tho house. After
waiting half an hour the Republicans
moyed that further proceedings in the
house be dispensed with. As this
meant to proceed with the ballot In
the absense of Cramer, a close tight
was mude on the motion. A test vote
resulted fifty-six yeas and fifty-two
nays, and the house dispensed with
the call and proceeded to business,
amid great applause from the Repub
lican side.
Representative Kenny rose to a
question of privilege, and had read
charges of oilers to bribe Representa
tive Otis, of Hamilton county. He
offered a resolution that a committee
of five be appointed at once to inves
tigate any charges made In connection
with the election of a United States
senator A motion was made on the
Democratic side to suspend tho rules
and consider the Kenny resolution at
once. This was defeated by the same
vote of fifty-two toflrty-slx.
The name of Marcus A. Ilanna was
then presented by Representativc-X.c-land,
of Noble, and seconded by Smith
of Deleware.
The name of Robert E. McKlssjn,
of Cleveland, was presented by Repre
sentative Bramley.
Representative Leland praised
Ilanna in a dignified manner, but Re
presentative Smith referred to treach
ery In the party in strong terms.
This brought out Bramley In vigorous
terms In presenting the name of Mc
Klsson. There were loud demonstra
tions and hisses, with cries of
"traitor." The nomination of Mc
Klsson was seconded by Jones, of
Stark county, Republican.
The Democrats took no part except
applauding, Jones applauded MeKin
ley in his speech and pepouncca Sena
tor Ha.nna.
The cheering at the name of Grif
fith, of Union; Manuel, of Montgom
ery; Joyce, of Guernsey; Droste,
Kemper and Lane, of Hamilton, when
cast for Ilanna, was tremendous.
Otis desired to explain his vote but
was shut off under the rules and the
ballot went on with cheers in the gal
lery for Ilanna. When the result of
tho ballot was made known It stood
as follows,
Banna ,. .,..,....,,..,,..,50
McKlsson 40
Lentz , ,..,.,. . 1
Wiley , I
Warner ,, ,,,..
Thero was considerable stir on the
Democratic side when the result was
announced. Speaker Mason an
nounced that Marcus A. Hanna, hav
ing received a majority of tho votes of
the house, was the choice of that
body for the short teru. The cheer
ing outside ot the balls for Ilanna re
echoed in the ears of members as the
result was announced.
A ballot was then taken fp,r (lie
long term, and it resulted the same,
this announcement being greeted
with another long and loud demon
stration. At 12:15 p. m, the houso
adlourned and the hall was used for a
jollification meeting, with the crowd
singing. "Praise God From Whom All
Blessings Flow."
The senate gallery was crowded to
its limit when at 11 o'clock the first
move In the great senatorial contest
was made. When, Ljeut-Goy. Jonos
ranncd for order and announced that
balloting for United States senator
was now under consideration, perfect
quiet reigned. Every senator was m
his seat.
Senator Sullivan arose to nominate
Senator Ilanna. Crowded Into the
hall were hi ndreds of people, taking
up every possible fpqtqf space, and yet
not a sound could be heard save the
words of the speaking senator. When
Senator Burke pronounced the name
of McKIfSon there was perfect alienee,
The feeling of bitterness could be
plainly seen reflected In tho faces of
the audience. Senator Welcome, uf
Cleveland, seconded the nomination
ot Ilanna. The nomination of Mc
Klsson was seconded by Senator
Finch.
Lieutenant-Governor Jones an
nounced that a ballot would be taken
by the senators rising In their seats
and naming their choice. Two votes
were taken, one for the short and me
for the long terra. The vote for both
terms resulted;
McKlsson, 10.
Ilanna, 17.
Burke, of Cleveland, was the only
Republican who did not vote for
Ilanna. Volght, fuslfrnlst. from Cin
cinnati, voted for Ilanna, as did all
the fusion Republicans from Hamil
ton county, except Otis.
McKlsson denied that ho pledged
himself last night te tree silver or to
stand on the Chicago platform when
called into Democratic caucus Dem
ocrats nnd others present confirm this
report and state that McKlnlcy said
he was for blmetallishi and opposed
to the policy of Secretary Gage, but
that he would not .stand for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
Hardly had the result ot the ballot
oeen announced oerore ine crowd
filled the corridors and ohcers for Han
na swept through thciouso and out
into tho street.
Ilanna responded to the repealed
calls of his friends, as follews:
"It Is not so much a matter of per
sonality with me as It. IS a question of
keeping pledges and Upholding the
Integrity of the party arid glylng heed
to the will of the neoplo."
The excited crowd lifted the senator
from the crowd and man after man
embraced him, while others were
shaking both his hands

people, who started from Dawson for
Fjrt Yukon, where stranded there,
but most of them procured small boats
and continued on their way to Fort
Yukon, which Is 00 miles distant.
Circle City, owing to the un
expected Increase In population, was
almost devoid of grub, Of the 127
residents of that (camp, nearly all
were calculating on sending to Fort
Yukon for supplies. Briefly, were It
not for the supplies nt Fort Youkon,
which to a certain extent are an un
known quantity, the situation at
Circle City would be far more desper
ate than at Dawson
Joaquin Miller arrived at Dawson
from Circle City, December 4, at 11
o'clock. He was very badly frozen,
having lost a part of the great toe of
his left foet: his left car was shilling
off and both checks were frozen. He

pany with Herald Canovan, Ottawa,
late of the coast survey. They started
from Circle City without dogs, hav
ing been unable to secure them. They
pulled their outfit on a sled.
Mr. Miller brings a story of great
suffering along the river by parties
who wore caught in the Ice -on their
way to Dawson, but who had not
yet readied Circle City.

THE COMING TRUST.
Department Stores Wge Wr
the
Newspapers.
DDenver, Jan. 12 An extraordinary
contest nas started in tins city witn
the dally papers on one sldo and 14 of
tho largest dry goods, clothing and
department stores on the other. No
advertisement of any of these firms
appear In today's papers, and formal
notice has been given that none will
appear until the papers accede to the
demands of the merchants. Last
week, the business managers of the
dailies were Informed that the dc
partment-store combination had ar
bitrarily decided that advertising
rates must be reduced nbout 20 per
cent.
The firms declined to enter Into dis
cussion, of the Justice of the demand,
simply stating that they had given
their ultimatum. They control about
50 per cent of the regular city aclver
Using, and believe that the papers
must submit to their dictation, not
withstanding that tho advertising
rates in Denver are tower man in any
other city of its size in the country.
The newspapers replied chat con
cessions to tho autocratic order were
notonly Impossible for business reas
ons, but would destroy the Independ
ence of the press. If tho department
stores could fix rates arbitrarily at
their pleasure, they could Ukcwlso
dictate In all matters of policy, and
the papers would become mere hand
bills, without lnfluenco or self-respect
The first result of the contest Is tho
passage of a resolution by the trades
assembly calling on the city council
to Impose a heavy license on depart
ment stores, and warning all mem
bers of labor unions against them.
The smaller merchants are taking ad
vantage of tho opportunity to Increase
their advertising
In Denver, as In other cities, de
partment stores havo been crushing
tho smaller stores, and the latter are
exceedingly glad of the chance to cut
into the business of their larger
rivals. There was a notlccablo de
crease in tho size ot tho usual Mon
day bargain-hunting crowds In the
department stores. The firms which
are trying the novel and dangerous
experiment of doing business without
advertising arc:
Schradsky Clothing Co., Cordes &
Fcldhausor Carpet Company, the
Monash Fair Company, May Shoo &
Clothing Company, the Western
Clothing Company, tho Skinner Bros..

J. N. Huston, formerly treasurer of
the United States, under President
Ilarrlson, In an interview says he
bellvcs that great department stores
In all tho cities of the country are
secretly joining forces to concentrate
their power in tho belles that such a
trust may be successfully organized to
control the retail business of the
country In every branch. He says:
"Tho trust would not bo a dream
were Is to be a made a national insti insti
tuteon: It would control tho price
of anything, Indirectly, the interest
rate on money, politics and eyerythlng
else."

Gomez is Again Victorian The Spanish
Claim It Also.
Havana, Jan. 12. Rerorts have
been received here of a terrible battle
at MontcsHoyos, Santa Clara province
between tho Insurgents , commanded
by Gomez, and a Spanish battalion,
commanded by Ruiz. General Gon
zales was second In command under
Gomez. The Spanish report says that
tho Spaniards dislodges tho Cubans
at the point of the bayonet.
The Spanish report was received
hero with derision. News from tho
Cuban side Justifies in general senti
ment. The battle appears to be ono
of the most Important triumphs of
Gomez In this war. Ho personally
led tho charge of his splendid cavalry,
which made havoc In the Spanish
ranks. The Spanish losses were over
150 killed. Gomez, according to his
old tactics, led tho Spaniards toUhe
lowest partor the battio ground, and
after a severe flrn from Gunnies' In
fantry, charged with his cavalry from
tho hills.

His view Is backed up by other of

Cuba writes that tho Spanish conser
vatives In tho islund are disgusted

ter of tho successive campaigns and
