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,

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." Writ of Habeas Corpus Denied.
Washington,1 Jan. 3. In the Supreme
court today an appeal of George D.
Crossly from a decision of the Circait
court for the northern district of C ili
fornia. denying him a writ of hab -as

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.

INTERN ATIOMLLAW DEFIED
The Chinese Government Offered Imme

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

TERRITORIAL TOPICS.
At the Madrid coal mines, three miles

Michael McGrath died lit Las Cruces
last Monday at 13 o'clock noon. His

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

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

petition of former winters, says the En
terprise. Geome A. Bvron. superintendent of
mines of tho Graphic mining and smelt

Chief.
Charles A. Dvasp, tho locator of the
reported rich gold strike at Santa Rita,
is now behind the bars In tho Grant

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. ,

NEW YEAR'S GIFT TO BROWN.

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.

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.
