OHIO LEGISLATURE Nine Republican Representatives Op posed to Hanna Refused to At tend Caucus on Saturday, THE OPPOSlSlN CONTROL Eepresentative Mason Elected Speaker of House Hanna's Defeat is Conceded Unless Radical Changes Are Hade the Present Week. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 3. Tho Ohio legislature convened at 10 a. ui. The caucuses held on Saturday night wore not on tho usual lines between the Uo publicans and Democrats, some of the Republican members having formed a fusion with the Democrats for the de feat of Senator Ilaiimi. The senate stands 18 Democrats, and 18 Republic ans, tho latter, including Senator Volght. lie was elected on the fusion ticket from Cincinnati, and did not at tend either caucus. At the senate Re publican caucus Senator Burke, Repub lican, of Cleveland, was not only absent but was at the same time nominated by the Democratic caucus for president pro tern, of the senate. The caucus nomi nated Senator J. Park Alexander for president pro tern. The absence of Senator Burke today, therefore, meant not only his election, but election of Democrats for all offices in the senate. The house stands 03 Republicans and 47 Democrats; the former including four f unionists from Cincinnati. .At the Re publican house caucus there were only 53 present pledged to Alexander Boxweil for speaker. Of the ten absentees, Rep resentative Griffith, of Clinton, was the only one offering any "excuse. Ho was sick. The other nine Republican members were absent because they are opposed to Mr. Hanna and regarded Representa tive Boxweil as his candidate for speak er. These nine Republican members, met with the Democratic members and indorsed Harry S. Mason, of Cleveland. anti-Hanua Republican, for speaker. With these nine Republicans and the 47 Democratic members, Representative Mason would have 5(3 votes, one more than necessary to elect, but some, of tho Democratic members refused to be pledged to any Republican candidates for senator, speaker or other oflices, in tho organization of the legislature. It Is gonerally believed tho fate of Mr. Hanna, as well as all of his supporters, depends upon the organization of the legislature. His opponents claim he will be defeated even if the Boxweil ticket is elected, and his friends admit ted that the chances were against him if Mr. Boxweil were defeated. Aiitl-Hanna Speaker Elected. Columbus, O., Jan. 3. The contest in the iiouse was between Mr. Mason, anti II. -uni a and Mr. Boxweil, the Hanna can didate. The first ballet resulted: Mason, 5(5. votes; Boxweil, 53. Mr. Mason was declared elected amid great excitement. it required an hour to examine the credeutiak and swear : in the J09 mem bers, but the 36 senators soon qualified. In tho hall of the house, the wildest scenes were witnessed during tho first hour of the session. Ail of the 190 mem bers were In their seats after tho name of Representative Boxweil had been pre sented as the regular Republican candi date for speaker. Tho name of Repre sentative Mason, Republican, was pre sented by Representative Jones, Repub lican, and seconded by two other Repub licans. The Democrats did not par ticipate In tho speaking. As tho ballot ( proceeded there were loud cheors as doubtful members responded to their names, and when the roll call closed there was a long demonstration that do layed official announcement of the vote. The first ballot resulted: Mason, 50; Boxweil, 53, as claimed since Saturday night by the combined opposition to Mr. Hanna. Tho combine then completed the organization of tho house. Democrats Organized Senate. All were, present In the senate cham ber except Senator Burke, of Cleveland, Republican opposed to Mr. Hanna. Sen ator Volght, the fusionlst from Cincin nati, voted with the Republicans, but even then the vote stood 18 to 17 In favor of the Democrats, who elected all the officers. 0. D. Darroll, Democrat, was elected chief clerk over A. C. Caine, Republican, tho latter having expected a re-election, by Senator Burke's pres ence. As Mr. Burke was absent and coidd not be sworn in, Senator T. A. Crowell, Democrat, was elected presi dent pro tempore of tho senate, but it is understood that he will give way to Mr. Burke, for that place as soon as tho latter arrives to take his seat.. The Democratic organization of the . senate was mado complete. A detachment of policoinon was needed to hold back the crowd that filled tho hall of the house and pressed about the entrances. Rumor That Brlce Will Be Elected, Representative John P. Griffith, of Union county, had been claimed by tho Hanna men until he was nominated on Saturday night by tho combine for speaker pro torn. When Representative Griffith cast his vote for Mr. Mason for speaker, there was a wild scene, and the excitement continued until Mr. Griffith was elected speaker pro tempore by the same vote as that cast for speaker. The regular Republican candidate for chief clork of the house, John R. Malloy, sec retary of the Republican state commit tee, was defeated by Charles H. Gerrish, Republican, Charles Kurtz's closo lieu tenant in the organization of the opposi tion to Mr. Hanna. The combine slate went through for all the nine places by the same vote, 56 to 53.. When the Joint resolution on arrange ments for tho inauguration of tho gov ernor come up in the senate, the Repub lican senators, as a rule, declined to vote on account of their opposition to Gov ernor Bushnell. The resolution was ad opted by the Democratic side of the sen ate chamber, assisted by Senators Shep ard and Weightman, Republicans, and Senator Voight, fusioklst. This action caused a great stir about the state house. The result of the organization of the legislature started rumors that the Hanna men would combine with the gold Democrats for the election of- Cal vin S. Brlce, as a gold standard man, rather than to have Mayor McKIsson and Governor Bushnell elected for the long and short terms as silver Repub licans. Speaker Mason will dispose of all the patronage in the house tn the Interest of McKIsson and Bushnell, against Hanna and with the state executive administra tion also against Hanna, his defeat Is conceded unless radical changes are made within the next week, A Family Cremated.

Secretary Gage Expressed Approval of the Eeport of Monet ary Commission v -Omcial GJaugeJ. Washington, Jan. 3. Speaking today of the report of tho monetary commis sion for the reform of the currency, Secretary Gage said: "I read the re port with great interest and much pro fit. Avoiding abstract terms, it pro ceeds in plain, comprehensible language to point out the sources of our present financial weakness, and the remedies proposed are so clearly set forth that all may understand. The reform measures recommended I regard as well adapted to cure the ills from which we suffer and which threaten our future. I sincerely hope it will bear fruit in legislative ac tion."

Albemarle Boad Will Soon Be Completed to Bland Work on Mine Booming Developing Water. The Bland Herald cheerfully reports that, under tho able supervision of Geo. Hofheins, the road from the Albemarle group of mines down Colla conon, around the point by the Little Mollie and No Name mines to the connection with the road to the Washington mine, Is a fine piece of work and within a week of completion. Quite unexpectedly tho grade does not exceed 8 per cent at the steepest point and what were supposed to be difficulties have been surmounted with ease and rapidity. . The road when finished may be used for any purpose it may be put too. A comparatively small amount of rock work remains to be done before It will be perfectly passable. At the Albemarle mine work is boom ing. The new hoisting whim is Up and in place and about ready for use. A large Iiouse for living purposes is well under construction and will soon be ready for occupancy. Surveying for mill sites and other buildings is going on. A gang-of men Is at work above tho falls In Pcralta canon developing water, which will be conveyed by pipe over tho mountain to the Albemarle, and of which there will be a sufficient quantity for any and all purposes. The entire operations display the business of a hive of bees and go very far to prove that tho right kind of people have taken hold of this big and valuable property. Delegate to Denver. Governor Otero today appointed Mr. Arthur J. Tlsdall, of San Miguel county, a delegate at large for the territory to the National convention ot stock stock growers to be held In Denver on January 88 next ' TREATIES VIOLATED Li Huug Chang Expresses Himself Eegarding Forcible Occupation of Kio Chau by Germany. INTERN ATIOMLLAW DEFIED The Chinese Government Offered Imme diate and Full Redress for the Outrage Complained of by the German Government. New York. Jan. 3. Tim Herald this morning prints an Interview, obtained at Pekin, with Li Hung Chang, in 'which he says: "The forcible occupation of Kio Chu by Germany is a direct violation of existing treaties and international law. "The. pretext make for this act was the murder of two missionaries by rob bers in the interior of the province of Shang Tung. The Chinese government offered immediate and full redress for this outrage the punishment of the criminals, dismissal of the local officials and large compensation for all losses. Should China no distressed uy Having her shores invaded and her territory oc cupied because, of an occurrence which the western countries would deal with by law and not by war an unexpected incident, deplored by my government and followed by full redress. 'Our desire is to preserve our terri tory intact and steadily to improve it as a field open to all countries equally for the development of commerce." England Will filiform Her Rights. Manchester, Eng., Jan. 3. The Man chester Guardian today says: "The gov ernment has categorically stated that Great Britain will refuse" to recognize any special rights granted at any Chin ese port to any particular power. Any port opened to one power must be open to all or open to none. If Russia lias been granted the right to winter ships at Port Arthur, Great Britain win cntorce her rights to the same privileges and her dnps will winter there wnetner nana concertos or does not concede the right." TERRITORIAL TOPICS. At the Madrid coal mines, three miles from Cerrillos, there are about 400 em ployes, and the monthly pay-roll aver ages about $15,000 or $10,000. Judge Hamilton is crowding business in tho District court at Socorro with might aud main. During the past week he has held night as well as day ses sions. The Wells & French company, of Chi cago, has an order from the banta re company for 250 of the latest model re frigerator cars, xnese cars w in no m feet long. Michael McGrath died lit Las Cruces last Monday at 13 o'clock noon. His death could not be called sudden as it had been expected by his friends and by himself for over a month. There will be a greater acreage of wheat and other crops planted In the Frisco country and in fact throughout the entire western part of Socorro coun ty than ever before in any previous year. The Rio Grande. Republican indulges in this bit of sensible advice: During the. coming year, let neighbor and neigh bor, business men and professional men, politicians and citizens, work hand in hand, altogether, on the broadest and most liberal platform, for the welfare and prosperity of the Mesilla valley. Cerrillos is probably the only incor porated town in tho territory that is free from debt. This fact should conu- mend it to the consideration of residents of communities which are tax-burdened to pay interest on bonds. We hope that the finances of Cerrillos may never be less prudently managed than they have been till now, ;;s the Keglstor. One of the delights of the. children of Silver City is to fondle the pretty little Shetland pony presented by Hon. n. B. Forgusson to Miss r'annie doming, daughter of J. W. Fleming. The cart to fit the pony, which accompanied' it, is a little beauty too, says tho Enterprise. Edward Head was arrested last week for branding a calf belonging to the San Vicente Cattle company. He was brought up for preliminary trial boforo Justice of the Peaco Isaac Givons. Mon day. He waived examination and gave bond In $300 for appearance before the next grand Jury, reports the Silver City Enterprise. A. E. Cunningham Is connecting his two business houses, in Mogollou and Cooncy, by a telephono line which will be open for the use of tne public at rea sonable rates. It will transfer messages to or from and connect with tho Mogol lon telephone line, which operates be tween pnver city and aiogonon. If the garden of Eden was blessed with such beautiful weather as tho people of Silver City have enjoyed during the holidays, Adam and Eve must have al ways regretted leaving it. Tho weather is simply grand, couio noi do improvcu upon in any manner, and it is only a re petition of former winters, says the En terprise. Geome A. Bvron. superintendent of mines of tho Graphic mining and smelt ing works at Magdalcna and one of the best mining men of New Mexico, was a welcome Christmas visitor, lie went up to Albuquerque that night and remained until the early part of the week before returning home, reports the Socorro Chief. Charles A. Dvasp, tho locator of the reported rich gold strike at Santa Rita, is now behind the bars In tho Grant county Jail. He came to Silver City from Santa Rita last woek and mowed a wide swath for a time winding up his brilliant career by passing several checks without having a cent on deposit to make them good. He will have his pre liminary examination, Tuesday. These circumstances leads the Enterprise to suspect Dyasp's "big Santa Rita Strike" is a fake. , Another Large Sheep Shipment. Four thousand head of sheep are duo to arrive in Santa Fo from the south, on Wednesday, for shipment over tho D. & R. G. railroad to feeding stations in Nebraska and thence to market In Chicago. The shipment will be made by J. A. Stlnson to C. B. Rey nolds. It will be remembered that a similar shipment of 10,000 of the fleecy fellows was made from Santa Fe over the D. it R. G. road about ten days ago. NEW YEAR'S GIFT TO BROWN. Governor Otero Pardons H. P. Brown, Con victed of Embezzlement and Serving a Year's Sentence in the Peni tentiary, EXKCUTIVK OFKICK. Santa Fe, X. M., Jan. 1. 18MS i 1 Whereas. A custom has been sta li lished in this, the executive olllce of the territory of New Mexico, to extend to some unfortunate prisoner, an act' -of clemency upon each national holiday: and Whereas. H. 1 Brown, of Eddy. Xew Mexico, was at the November, A. I). 1807, term of the District court ot the Fifth judicial district of the territory of New Mexico, sitting within and for' the county of Eddy, convicted of embezzle ment and sentenced by said court to serve a sentence in tho territorial pen itentiary for the term of one year; and Whereas, The money which tho said Brown defaulted in paying over to the authorities regularly constituted to re ceive such moneys, lias been entirely paid by' the bondsmen of the Haul lirown; and Whereas. The said Brown has always been an honest, upright man and a use ful citizen of the, county of Eddy, and tho defalcation that the said Brown was charged with, was duo entirely to care lessness in discharging the. duties of treasurer of Eddy county, and was not actuated by any malicious or criminal intent, in failing to properly account for moneys entrusted to him as such treasurer; and Whereas, A large number of the citi zens and taxpayers of the county of Eddy, including the jurors, bondsmen and others, have, filed strong a petition for the pardon of II. P. Brown, and the district attorney, Hon. John Franklin, who prosecuted the case, having also joined in the request for pardon, and his letter is published in connection with the matter; Npw, therefore, in pursuance of the custom, as above, and after a careful investigation of this case, I, Miguel A. Otero, governor of the territory of Xew Mexico, do hereby extend to the said H. P. Brown a full and complete pawJon from the sentence and conviction here inbefore recited, to take place on this, New Year's day, and the superintendent of the territorial penitentiary is hereby authorized to discharge said Brown from confinement. Done at the, executive office, this, the first day of January, A. D 1808. Wit ness my hand and the great seal of the territory of Xew Mexico. (Seal) Miouet. A. Oruno. Governor of the Territory of Xew Mexico. By the Governor, Gko. H. Wallack, Secretary of Territory of Xew Mexico. Ono of thi! points that turned the scale in Brown's favor, in addition to the petitions from many leading citi zens of Chaves and Eddy counties, was the following letter from the district attorney of these counties: To the Hon. M. A. Otoro, Governor, Santa Fe, N. M. Dear Sir: Mr. H. P. Brown, it former treasurer of this county, pleaded guilty to embezzlement of the public funds of the county, committed while ho was in office, at the present term of this court. In view of the fact of his plea of guilty and the further fact that the bondsmen of Mr. Brown have fully settled up his shortage, and that the bondsmen who paid nearly all of the. shortage have recommended his pardon, I beg to sub mit to you that in my opinion as a citi zen tho case, is deserving of a pardon. I further 'call your attention to the fact that the said Brown has lain for about two years under the shadow of t his in dictment, and has had to attend the terms of this court, and has therefore suffered very considerably already. I believe it will bo very proper for you to extend executive clemency toward him. Very respectfully, JXO FlUNKMN. District Attorney of Eddy and Chaves Counties. ALBUQUERQUE NOTES. D. C. Hobart passed through the city on Thursday night on his way home to Silver City 'from Alaska, where he has spent the'last three months. Mr. Hobart is greaily pleased with the outlook in Alaska, and he intends to return in the spring and go through to the gold fields. Thomas Hughes, editor of the Albu querque Citizen, celeoratod his 50th Dirtliday on jncw lears day. speaking of the event he says: Tomorrow Is tho ;0th anniversary of the birtn ol the editor, and ho has resolved that if ho lives to be 100 years old that he will pub lish on that occasion a 100-page paper to celebrate the event.

He will return in about 30 days, when the sur veys will be practically completed, and help push the work of construction, says the Democrat. The Albuquerque Democrat issued a profusely Illustrated special edition of 24 pages on New Year's morning. It was most creditable to the enterprise and in dustry of the management and will prove a material aid in attracting the attention of homesee.kers and investors to the varied and substantial advantages of New Mexico.

Broadened Believed of Detail Work at Station, The New Mkxican Is more than pleased to be able to announce thus early in the new year, that tho tireless energy, unflagging zeal, fine executive ability, persuasive address and other su perb qualifications ot Mr. T. J. Helm as a railroad man have been substantially recognized by the I). & R. G. manage ment. He has been relieved of all detail work in connection with the D. & R. G. sta tion in this city, and his field as general agent has been broadened out so that it now includes Colorado, Xew Mexico, Arizona, and Texas, with headquarters as heretofore in Santa Fe. While the local agency of the road in this city will be continued in the name of Mr. Helm, the functions thereof will be. performed by Mr. Fred A. McBrlde under the title of cashier, and, as the latter has proved his superior fitness for tho re sponsible place, during the years he has faithfully served as assistant in the of fice, no doubt is entertained that the business of the station under the new regime will be so ewnUuclrd as to win the plaudits of all. Mr. Helm began railroading t the bottom of tho ladder in Indiana many years ago, taking his first lesson on the. "B" line betweeen Indianapolis and Cleveland, which, has since been absorbed by the Big Four system. His first situation was messenger to the fuel agent of this road, where as a boy he demonstrated his ability to do the little things first, and his willingness to learn how to do the more important things later. In 1800, on account of ill health, a change of climate became necessary, and he came to Santa Fe. accepting the su perintendency of tho Santa Fe South ern, since, incorporated Into the I). & II. O's. main line, between Santa Fe, ami Denver. ' Soon after this amalgamation he became general agent, of the I). & K. G. When Mr. Helm assumed the duties of superintendent of the Santa 1-e Southern the business of that road was in such a condition that it had been customary annually to draw on the own ers for S3.000 or $4,000 to pay deficien cies In running expenses. The new superintendent not only never found it necessary to draw on tho owners for money during the five years h operated tho road, but before the sale thereof U D. & R. G. company was able to show a yearly surplus of earnings amounting to $15,000. In view of such a showing, it was most natural that his services should have been retained by the D. & R. G. management as general agent at Santa Fe. Tho broadening of his field of ac tivity and usefulness, which comes to him as a New Year's present, Is simply a well earned reward of genuine merit. An Old Settler Dead. Andy Parish, an old colored man, whose home was on lower San Francisco street, died last night, death resulting from paralysis Induced by gunshot wounds received while a soldier during the Lite war. The deceased was bom In Missouri (53 years ago, and in 1802 enlisted in com pany K, Fifty-sixth regiment, I. S. colored volunteer Infantry, serving through the war, and was severely wounded several times. At the close ot the war he entered the Thirty-eighth infantry of the regular army, and came to Now Mexico with his regiment in 1807. When his term of service expired he remained In this city, and by- Indus try and frugality acquired considerable property, and leaves the .homo on San Francisco street and a ranch on the Rio Tesuquo to his widow. Tho funeral will occur tomorrow morning. X M ! i n li i i 1 "i ' I 1 n t: O
