II B I Ilanna mc.i received a great Impetus to-day
I 6 v,hon 'l'0 following statement was niado by
i'I 1 ponator J. 11. Foraker:
il I V A "Tho campaign of 1807 ended with moon last
ir- J ' r Tuesday. Ho long us wo wcro lU-htlni,- a com-
YWW? mon enemy 1 gnvo my cntlro ttmo and strength
JA to tbo cause I supposed a Ropubllcan

Py I should bo a contest nmoug Republicans I would
1'ii 1 not have nil) thing to do with It, unless boiuo-
iL$VnJ thing unforeseen should occur to chango my
KtfKE mind."
Jf.mr Tho statcmont Is generally understood by lie-
AM publicans of both factions to mean that Sena-
P tor Foraker will not lnterfcro to causo tho
I Foraker men who have Just been elected to
I TOto for Uanun. There Is no doubt that
J If .Senator Forakor said tho word, they
i would voto for llnnna, but without Fora-
1' kcr's oppressed wish they may voto for another
than McKTnloy's frlond. Ex-Cbnlrinan Kurtz
Is very wroth at Ilanna, and several of his
warm friends nro tuembrs elect of tho Lcglsla-

than thut Kurtz will do anything to help elect

jSf murdered President, as a caiidldato to succcod
If Senator Hnnno. The Garfield boom Is not largo,
j yet In northern Ohio young Gorflold has a very
strong following and ho has no enemies in tho
j Republican party.
; i Representative Harry E. Mason, who with
I; Senator V. K. llurko and Representative Dram
ley represent the Foraker faction on the legis
late e delegation from this county, says:
lJ. "There Is no reason why wo should rots for

ilk and gavo us no support at tho election. Thero

JS-Vjfc bly who (eel as ws do. It is doubtful if they
Ms hnTO determined to voto for Ilanna."
Wm Congressman T. K. Burton, whom Bushnell
HB wnnted to appoint at tho Urns ha appointed
HP Ilanna to succeed Sherman, is also discussed as
PHJ a Senatorial possibility, and ths Foraker people
251 here think he will accept a nomination.

, Columbus, O., Not. 8. There is evidently
1)3 trouble ahead for Senator Mark A. Ilanna, but'
? how serious It will be remains to be seen. Ths
li most surprising feature of tho attempt to do-
,3 feat his return to the Senate is the fact that
m Senator Forake"-. Gov. Bushnell and Charles L.
. KurU encourago rather than dlscourago the
move.
Foraker Is not so ouUpokrn as the other two.
Ho simply says that if the Krrexibllcans get Into
m a content he is not going to h.-e anything to do
B wltli it unless something unforeseen should
fi occur to change bis mind.

.w-JST friends contend that twenty-one members are

ATtANTi, Go,, Nor. 8. In ylew of tho temper
of tho House of Representatives, aslndlcated re

seems doomed as a diversion in this State. Rep

was considerable underground opposition, w blch

Tho farmer members say that tho Unlverslts Is
robbing them of their land scrip money, which
should go to an agricultural collcgo, where
fnrmers would be mado, nnd not lawyers or
doctors; hence they woro against tho university
nnd Its sports, and tho friends of tho university
were handicapped by their ambition for public
office Consequently, when tho roll was callod
upon tho antl-footbull bill to-day, there wcro
only threo votes against it. The three men nro
now politically doad. Klnoty-ouo mon said that
football must go.
The Senate will act as did the House and tho

Wasiunotom, Nov. 8. Tho Interstato Com
merce law to-day received another sovcro blow
at ths hands of the Supreme Court. Tho long
pending appeal of tho commission from the
Judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth
Circuit In tho matter of tho order of tho commis
sion against tho Alabama Midland, Georgia
Central, and other railroads, was decided
against tho commission, tho action of the court
below being affirmed. Justlco Shtras, announc
ing the opinion of tho court, said that tho case
arose upon tho effort of tho commission to en
force Its order mado against tho railroads on tho
petition of merchants of Troy. Ala., who alleged
that tho railroads wero violating tho provisions
of the fourth section of tho act, popularly know n
as "the long and short haul clause." Two ques
tions arose in the consideration of the case said
Justice Shlras:
1. Could competition caused by rival railroads
and water routes be taken into consideration us
showing that the circumstance of the two
routes wcro not substantially similar !
2. If tho circumstances woro found to be not
substantially similar, could the railroads them
selves, in tho tlrst Instance, without appealing
to the commission, niako allowance in their
schedule of rates for that fact I
Both tho Circuit Court and Court of Appeals
had substantially decided these questions in ths
afUrmative, aud in their conclusion, said Jus
tice Shlras. the Supremo Court concurred.
Mr. Justice Harlan announced his dissent.
Taken in connection with former decisions, he
said, this decision went far toward defeating
the objects arrived at In the passage of the law.
It not only minimized tho power of the Commis
sioners beyond the intention of Capgresa. but it
put it in the power or railroad companies, by
rermlttlng them to determine for themselves
be quality of competition, to destroy the busi
ness of dealers at intermediate points.

and, accusing Smith of stealing his fob, punched
his face and struck him with his shovel until
Smith gave it up. Smith lingered In tho neigh

Springer gavo him a dime, but Smith claimed

nalh or Them Criticise Mr, Tlatl'a Leadership
as ielOah-Jaeab Is Going t Have Clla'
toloaa In Bvery Largo CIU, and Take All the
Moral Force or the Party with lllm Out ar It.
County Clerk Jacob Worth of Brooklyn Issued
yestorday a carefully prepared statement In tho
form of nn Intcrvlow with himself. Mostof It
was dovotod to abuso of Senator Piatt as a po
litical leader. Tho Brooklyn ex-boss ascribes
Republican defeat to tho refusal of Senator
Piatt to accept Scth Low as tho Republican can
didate. Ho alleges tho use of Fed oral patronage
to secure tbo nomination of Gen. Tracy. Of tho
City Convention he says:
" Had ho Mr. Piatt boon a prlvato citizen, as
ho was two years ago, no power that ho or any
body clso could have possessed would havo been
strong enough to provent that convention from
placing Seth Low before tho voters of Greater
New York as the candidate of the Ropubllcin
party for Mayor, for tho great body of Republi
cans knuw that tho circumstances surrounding
tho position of both parties In Greater Now York
wasof such a character that It was necessary
that n coilltion bo formed of all tho Independ
ents In order to accomplish tho defeat of Tam
many Hall."
Mr. Worth's explanation of Mr. Low's unify
ing force proposition is unique. Hero it Is:
"When Mr. Low made that declaration ho
had uo thought of becoming a unifying forco ns
between tho Piatt convention and the Independ
ents, but between the se eral bodl"s represent
ing tho enormous numherof Independent voter".
Tho unifying forco ho had In mind
was that possessed by a man who could
secure tho united support of ths Inde
pendent organizations which joined to
gether for tho purpo3o of preventing the
success of Tammany Hall, nnd which was ex
pected to be tho ouly unifying forco necessary to
convince Republicans of tho necessity of his
nomination. It did not follow, and it was not
to bo expected, that tho party that was liO.OOO
or 70,01)0 In tbo minority, as was the Republican
party, could produce that unifying force. A man
liko Mr. Liw, fortified by thu entire inde
pendent voto, was such a force, nud no man
could bo who was put forth by the Individual
power exercised by a stranger to Greater Now
York, ns far, at any rate, as votiug lu tho city is
concerned."
He follows this with nn explanation that tho
Citizens' Union could not have withdrawn low
for another candidate who would bo acci ptahlo
to tho Ropubllcan organization, because, the
Cits had organized and agltatod for tho election
of Loir only, and could not transfer their sup
port to anothor.
Tho defeat of the Republican State ticket Mr.
Worth also cheerfully piles on Senator Piatt's
shoulders. '1 hen be asks himself this question
rcgirdlng the Senator, and answers it promptly
as follows:
" Do 3 on expect that he will have ths same In
fluence in the same direction in the future I"
"In answer to that," was tho reply, "I may
say that Citizens' organizations will bo formed
in New York and Brouklyn, uud If not In every
county in the State, nt least In every one ot tho
larger cities. Iniirookljn and New Vork they
will represent more than ono-half of the Repub
lican votors: that claim ol Republican voters
that takes out ot tho Republican party in these
municipal contests all the moral forco thero is
In it; that portion of the Republican votors not
only self-supporting, but never looking for any
thing out of tbo success ot the party. Tboso
men are dissatisfied, and tbey aro the men u nn
whom the party must rely In the future for
success."
Ths next question and answer In Mr. Worth's
monologue are these:
"Will the departure of this forco make tho
control of w hat Is left any easier I"
"No. It will not, for tho reason that nil tbeso
men who are now or may be in tho future look
ing for positions to bo given by the general Gov
ernment will remain, while none or them will
bo connected with the Citizens' organization ot
Brooklyn, New York, or any other city. As to
tho precise form of organization I cannot say
Juatnovv. There will be an organization hs to
system, and there will be a governing body In
each city, but as to the construction iu detail I am
not at present In the position togivo information.
The organization mnynot be constituted like the
Republican organization, because tho men who
will compose it aro patriotic citizens. They are
men of moans and business, and they represent
the Intelligence of tbo party nnd the community.
The conditions that have made this movement
necessary aro ltastapprrciated bv Senator PlatU
II o is either utterly Ignorant of tho sentiment of
tho Republicans and Independents, or else,
knowing It, determines to thwart I U Ho acts thu
part of a man used to being In ihe minority and
willing to remain there, engulfed inselllauand
obsolem political Ideas, rattier than keen pace
with tho constantly occurring changes In tho
views ot the voters iu municipal contests, and
make nn effort to transform tho minority Into
the majority."
Then follows tho nsnertions that the Senator
is an assistant Democrat; that machine Repub
licans voted for Van Wyrk, and that thej cut
Republican Assembly candidates Indorsed by
tbo Cltizans' Union, Mr. Worth th-n ventures
to ask himself if lie liellovestb.it President Mc
KInley will be controlled or Influent ed by Sen
ator Piatt in future. lie falls to giro himself
n direct answer, but asks. "Why should he bo I"
nil " Wliv alimtli! thi, lFAQ(Hn,if nf t In, I TtillA.f
States cater lu a man who made such a misera
ble failure in the city mid .Stale of New York
and permit him to control tho patronage
in the Interest of a faction of tho party that Is
in themlnoiitvl"
He suggests tho possibility of a Republican
Tammany Hall deal in the legislature, nnd pre
diets that If ouo Is utlcmplcd the ontire nto
cast for President .McKInley In the Stnto will
loavo the pari. Mr Worth dlsrl ilnis ambition
to bo the leader In tbo new movement ho out
lines. Mr. Wortli intimates further that he is
troubled witli a suspicion that somebody kept
Richard Crokcr Informed aliout thofondltion of
things in the Republican party bo that he was
assured that he could nominate and elect Jus
tice Van Wyck for Mayor, llin Ing uttered this
supplclonhesays:
"This brings us too uow condition of nffairs,
when tho two parties aro. through their leaders,
brought into contact with each oilier. It is a
daugerous condition, for the only safety lies In
keeping them apart. From tho very moment
that It becomes tho part of loaders of the two
parties to enter upon an titidei.sianding with
each otlier, our ery system ot government Ih
menaced, nnd government by paity becomes u
delusion and n farce,"
Worth closed his statemcntwlththo following
utterance:
"A man who will sacrifice his election for his
nomination because he Is so anxious lo run for
alike well, thero Is nothing In such a diameter
to Justify the expenditure of tlmo in discussing
him or w hat ho docs."
Worth's talk about the formation of Cill
reus' organizations throughout the State whb
not well received by the original Cits. They
were not satisfied with his disclaimer of
floslro to lend thniuoieuu'iit, and they suld that
thoy thought any such movement would pros
per bettor if It were Inaugurated br nmio otlier
person than tho discredited Brooklyn lender.
faenator Plait rofused to discuss Worth's
statement, ns ho consistently refused to luply
to Worth during the campaign.

Six flat CalU Dtipatch to Tn Sen.
Paiiis, Nov. 8, a sensation was caUBed here
to-day by a report that tho father, mother, and
threo Bisters of ox-Copt. Dreyfus, who was tie
graded from tho army nnd sontonccd to lifo Im
prisonment fur betraying French military se
crets to n foreign government, had been found
dead from asphyxiation nt their home, 2(1 Ao
nueMarceau, It was at once assunvd by tho
publio that thoy hud committed suicide bocauso
ot the action of the Cabinet on Saturday In re
fusing to set asldo tho Judgment of tho court
martial which condomncd Dreyfus.
Later It was deniod that tho dead persons
were so closely relatod to Dreyfus. They cer
tainly wcro not his father, mother, and sisters,
as the man wns only -10 years old nnd tho woman
00, wnllo tho threo girls wcro mcro children.
Thero Is no doubt, however, that tho deothof
the father and mother, nt least, was self-planned
nnu mat tucuceu was duo to money losses sus
tained by tho head of the family.
1 ho namo of thu suicides was Dreyfus. Apart
from their doubtful connection with tho con
demned B0-cal led "traitor," tho tragedy is in
teresting In itsrlf.
Tho man wns n prosperous merchant, but his
family connections are somewhat confticling
ly reported. It Is nscrtod that his wife
was born Countess O'Hagerty, and that
Bhe belonged to nn old Irish family
who had been connected for generations
with the French court. In tho face of this asser
tion tho fact is known that tbo children woro
onterod upon a school register as being Israel
ites ot American origin.
Tho death of the family waB brought about by
the fumen of charcoal burnod In a brazier. The
father left four letters, ono of which was
addressed to tho editor of tho Tcmjis.
In It ho declared that bo was neither
wicked nor insane. Ho had been ruined
by a rogue whom tho law could not touch,
and ho contended that ho had a perfect
right to take his own life. After urging all who
aro tired ot tho world to follow his example, ho
said: "It roqulrcs a llttlo courage, and then
all Is over."
Ho declared that his wifo voluntarily yield
ed her lifo, and then said: "As for my
children, the question Is more delicate.
Not knowing what lifo Is. they can
not choose for themselves, and as It be
longs to mo to take the decision I
consider that I render them a service In not
leaving them alone in the world. The60 chil
dren, whom I adore, have always been Tery
happy. They had nothing but happiness, and I
am determined that thoy shall not know grief."
The children wero nged lit. 11, and 7 years.
Families of the namu of Dreyfus are very
common in Purls. Tho father-in-law of
tho convict Dreyfus says that ha did
not know the suicides. Nevertheless, it
is supposed that tho man who killed
himself was a couslu ot tho ox-Captatn. It
Is snld that ho was affected by the disgrace
brought on his family by tbo conviction of his
cousin, nnd for that reason had lately adopted
the maiden namo of blB wifo.

Lokpo.v, Nov. 8. A despatch to tho btaiulartl
from Berlin uays that M. Czcrnlk, a Russian

One of these minerals is a kind of coal ashes,

quantity of helium and a quantity of the rare
earths which aro employed in the manufacture
of tho mantels used in incandescent gas light

mainly of argon. M. Czernlk's discovery is re
