FORAKER DEFEATED.
Sherman's Election to the

Young Republicans of Ohio
Feel Very Bitter.
Sores Left by the Contest That Will
Be Hard to Heal.

Glum.
A«ociated Press Dispatches.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. s.—The night
before the great senatorial battle finds
the inevitable still staring the Foraker
forces ominously in the face. To them
all indications of the political situation
point to defeat, but they have made a
gallant battle, and the struggle estab
lished beyond contradiction one signifi
cant fact —that Foraker is the unshaken
idol of the young Republicans of Ohio.
The declaration today of Dunn and
Daugherty for Sherman add two more
to the senator's majority, and his friends
now claim he will have 58 votes, while
they give Foraker but 31, the remaining
two being doubtful, Of course the
Foraker people do not concede these
lajms.
It is generally, believed this evening
that the Foraker managers are basing
their hopes upon a secret ballot. They
think should this ballot be secret many
of those members who are confessedly
for Foraker, but have gone to Sherman
in obedience to the will of their consti
tuents, might break away. The Sher
man people are loud in their demands
for an open ballot by roll call, and main
tain that everything should be fair and
public. It looks tonight as though the
open ballot idea will prevail.
The state trade and labor assembly
met today and, as was anticipated,
attempted to solve the senatorial ques
tion. The president, in his opening ad
dress, recommended the assembly not
to interfere in the matter, but despite
this, a resolution was this afternoon in
troduced denouncing Sherman's sena
torial record. It was defeated after
considerable wrangling, but it is under
stood the Foraker men will revive the
controversy tomorrow.
The bitterness of the Foraker people
towards the national administration is
intense, and W. S. Cappellarof Mans
field, one of Foraker's leading managers
today, said: "Whether Sherman be
nominated or not, beyond this time he
is a political blank in Ohio politics, for
the reason that he will have no future
upon the political carpet, state or na
tional, and while the outrageous inter
ference of the federal administration, so
conspicuous to all, is admitted, it must
be admitted that if the Harrison ad
ministration hopes to succeed itself and
carry Ohio it will climb a barbed-wire
fence, if necessary, to be friendly with
Foraker and his following in this state.
The senatorial contest will leave sore
places in every county, township and
school district, and if McKinley, the in
coming governor, can comprehend and
realize the situation and be able to heal
the wound, he will perform an incredi
ble feat. But there are those who be
lieve if Sherman is nominated for the
senate it necessitates the nomination of
Blame as president to swing Ohio into
the Republican column."
This statement of Cappellar is being
received as an admission that the For
aker people purpose to array themselves
against President Harrison and carry
the state delegation to the national con
vention for Blame, or in the absence of
his candidacy, for Senator Culloin of
Illinois or some other declared candidate
for tho presidency.
For first time in the contest the
Sherman people today gave names and
figures. Chairman Halm of the state
central committee Bays: ".Sherman will
have 56 votes. Fifteen of these will be
senators and 41 representatives. If a
VOte were taken now, that would be my
estimate of the result. However, it may
be increased."
Representatives Dunn and Daugherty,
who were counted for Foraker, have
since pronounced for Sherman, and this
insures him 58 votes.
Washington, Jan. s.—General Boyn
ton being asked if he sent any reply to
the telegram which the Columbus
labor committee furnished the Asso
ciated Press, said: "No such dispatch
reached me yesterday from which I
conclude that no reply was wanted be
fore their convention to-day. As to the
Chinese question, into which the com
mittee is represented as inquiring, this
ia true: That Senator Sherman's record
from first to last on that subject, as well
aa all other questions concerned with
labor, ia one of wise, continuing and
earnest efforts to advance every interest
of the American workman. As to his
attitude toward pensions which ia chal
lenged by the questions asked, his posi
tion, which this committee represents
hostile to the soldiers, was distinctly
Btated by Senator Sherman to be based
upon his convictions, that proposed
measures did not go far enough to do the
veterans full justice."
THE CLOTURE RULE.
Democrats Make Good Use of a Favorite
Republican Weapon.
Albany, N. V,, Jan. s.—The Demo
crats have nailed down the Republican
side iv tbe legislature, and in doing it
used the iron hammer of the closure,
which was never before lifted in the
senate of the atate of New York. As
soon as the senators were sworn in thia
morning, they got to work. Senator
Edwards up to thia point was an im
portant element in the situation, but
the Democrats did not propoae to rely
long on an Independent Republican.
They had rather have one of their own.
Walker was to be seated in the twenty
seventh district, in which Sherwood the
Republican candidate, was proved in
•eligib* after getting a majority, and
the seating was to be done without an
opportunity on the part of Sherwood, or
any Republican senator, to enter a pro
test.
Senator Cantor, the Democratic leader,
offered a resolution declaring Charles
Walker elected, and moved the previous
question. Senator Erwin protested that
there was no previous question in this
body, and asked leave to present Sher
wood's petition. After a brief but acri
monious discussion, Cantor explained,
after the question was put, that tbe
Senate, not having yet adopted any
rules of order, was under general par
liamentary practice, which always pro
vides for tbe previous question.
After further vain protests on the part
of the Republicans, Walker was voted
In, 16 to 14, and immediately took the
oath.
The committee on privileges and elec
tions will at once inquire into the con
tests against four Republicans—Richard
son, Derby, Donnellson and Vangorder.
The Democrats must have twenty votes
to insure the appropriation bills, and
the probability is that all except Van
gorder will have to give way to the Dem
ocrats. The majority means to lose no
time in reapportioning the state.
Both branches of the legislature as
sembled atll o'clock. The senate elected
the officers chosen by the Democratic
caucus. Edwards (Independent) voted
with the Democrats. No efforts at ob
struction were made by the Republi
cans. Walker (Democrat), for the Twen
ty-seventh senatorial district, was then
seated as related above.
The assembly was quietly organized,
and the officers nominated by the Demo
cratic caucus were elected. A commit
tee was then appointed by both branches
and notified the governor that tbe legis
lature was organized. He at once Bent
his message and it was read. In it he
congratulates the people of the state
upon the fact that for the first time in
eighty years the governor was able to
addreas his suggestions to a legislature
in political accord with the executive.
He stated that the paramount duty be
fore the legislature was to provide for
the enumeration of the inhabitants of
the state, preparatory to the apportion
ment of senate and assembly districts.
He also pointed out the necessity for
the immediate reapportionment of the
congressional districts. The remainder
of the message relates to state affairs of
minor importance.
The governor advises the legislature
to repeal that portion of the electrical
execution law which prohibits news
paper publication of tbe details of the
execution. He favors a liberal, but not
an extravagant, appropriation for the
world's fair exhibition.
The governor recommends the exten
sion of the system of registration of
electors to all paita of the state, and
says any measure properly drawn and
not in conflict with the constitution,
which will so bulwark the present bal
lot law as to make intimidation and
bribery an impossibility, will receive
his hearty approval. The governor ad
vises the passage of a constitutional
amendment, transferring to the courts
jurisdiction in all contested election
cases.
QGAY AND DUDLEY.
Worried Because the Democrats Might
Mlchig-anlze New York.
Pittsburg, Jan. 5. —A local paper this
afternoon prints what purports to be the
inside history of a conference held Sun
day between Senator Quay, W. VV. Dud
ley and other leading Republicans. The
paper asserts that these gentlemen have
discovered that the Democrats intend to
"Michiganize" the state of New York
by providing that presidential electors
shall be chosen by the legislature, aud
not by popular vote of the people. An
other* feature of the alleged scheme is,
that by this plan the enormous
sums of money usually spent in the
state campaign for the election of elect
ors by popular vote, can be reserved for
distribution during the canvass in other
doubtful states. The paper asserts that
Quay and Dudley consider tho situation
serious and are worried.
COlLEOroli BGBltV'rt TROUBLES.
Bo Minis It Impossible to Discharge the
Duties of li in Office.
San Francisco, Jan. 5. —The Chron
icle will say tomorrow: Some facts
were learned yesterday concerning the
result of the investigation into the
official conduct of Collector of Custons
Berry of San Diego, and the system
of smuggling across the southern
border. It appears from a report
prepared by Special Agent Evanß, that
anything but harmony prevails among
the leading federal officers at San
Diego. The collector complains that
the United States marshal's office at
San Diego has assumed a hostile atti
tude toward him. It is also stated that
the district attorney, who recently re
signed, did not push government cases,
ai d the report says that federal litigation
in the San Diego district is at a stand
still on this account. Meanwhile the
smuggling of horses over the line con
tinues. It is estimated that in the past
nine months 3000 horses have been
smuggled nto California, and that tho
government revenue has sustained a
loss of $90,000.
"There seems to be no way at pres
ent," said Colonel Evans yeßterday, "by
which this lawlessness can be stopped.
The fact that the smugglers are well to
do and influential people, and that lots
of cases are tied up, accounts in part
for this condition of things. Then
again the line of demarcation is purely
imaginary, and there are several in
stances when customs officers have
pounced down on some rancher, only to
find that the horses they expected to
seize are quietly grazing twenty feet
off on Mexican territory. Of
course the officers cannot legally
cross the line to effect a capture. A
Mexican herder observes the officers
and quietly leads his animals away.
Next night the horses are taken over
the line, aud by morning the vaqueros
have driven them out of the jurisdiction
of the collector or else have so mixed
them up with hundreds of other horses
that identification is out of the ques
tion."
A Terrible I'luugu.
Ashkvillb, N. C, Jan. s.—On the
Western iNorth Carolina road, today, a
freight train became uncontrollable on a
heavy grade and dashed down the track
at fearful speed. At Dykeridge trestle
it left the rails and plunged into Scott's
creek, more than 100 feet below. . En
gineer S*m Francis, Fireman Sam Ar
thur, Ruf us Hemphill and a colored
man were killed.

Associated Press Dispatches.
St. Louis, Jan. 6.—A special to the
Republican from Rio Grande City says:
Corporal Rute, Troop A, Third cavalry,
was shot by a picket of his own company
at Salieno, a few days ago. He waß
brought to Ringgold, died yeaterday and
waa buried today.
Several revolutionary prisoners,
guarded by a detachment of soldiers
and three deputy marshals, left here for
Brownsville yesterday for trial by the
federal court, now in session there. A few
hours after their departure a dispatch
was received from Sheriff Closner, of
Edinburg, to the post commander, say
ing it waa reported that a band of
mounted Mexicans were en route to
rescue the prisoners. Troop C, Third
cavalry, and Captain McNiel's company
of rangers were in the saddle in a few
minutes, with an understanding with
Sheriff Closner that they were to attack
Havana at daylight. The sheriff left
Edinburg with a posse of fifteen. This
morning news was received from Hav
ana as follows:
"A little after daybreak this morning
Capt. McKay, with C troop, went in to Jay a
Sasture, at the lower end. Captain
[cNeil, with hie company,went through
the middle. Three revolutionists were
chased up by the Bangers, but escaped.
I ran into a small camp and got six
saddles and bridles, but the owners had
just left. Captain McKay and
Captain McNeil have 'already
caught over seven horses, including
a government horse, lost at the Retinal
fight, and two saddles, Several of the
revolutionists crossed the river during
the night, in such haste that they lett a
horse stuck in the mud and a saddle on
the farther side.
(Signed) Lanohorne." .1
Lieut. Thomas Garza, arrested byi
Deputy Martitial Beuada before th\
Retinal fight, and who escaped during
the skirmish, came in and surrendered
this morning. Tbe revolutionists are
badly scattered, and everything is com
paratively quiet.
Laredo, Tex., Jan. 5. —Startling de
velopments regarding the Garza revolu
tion are coming in. Papers found in
the saddlebags of Pablo Munoee, one of
the captured revolutionists, show that
Monteß de Ooa, bishop of Monterey, is
financial agent of the Clerical party in
supplying Garza with funds. Ttie state
in which the bishop was first located
passed a law that all parties marrying
must first secure license from the civil
authorities. This was followed by a law
prohibiting church professions, except
by permission of the government. These
laws were disputed oy the bishop and
he was fined by General Reyes, governor
of the province, who told him if the
bishops did not obey the laws he would
destroy the church. This created a
bitter feeling, and Oca was transferred
to Monterey. In February Garza
published an article in which he
charged that the murder of Oreneral
Martinez was committed at the in
stance of President Diaz, through Gen
eral Reyes, who employed the aesassins.
For this statement a warrant for
Garza's arrest was issued, and this was
the starting point of the revolution.
Later disclosures show that the clerical
party and the Iturbides, or the follow
ers of Prince Iturbide, who is Diaz's op
ponent for the presidency, are one and
the same, and that Garza is supported
by them.
Chicago, Jan. s.—An El Paso, Texas,
special dispatch reads: Just learned
that the leaders in the present revolu
tion on the lower frontier have been
working in this neighborhood for re
cruits since last June. It is also learned
tbat the headquarters of the revolution
ists are situated at New Orleans, but
their removal to El Paso is contem
plated, as this place will afford a
better place of operations. The Mexican
revolution is backed by a large amount,
of money, aud as soou as a foothold is
obtained in Mexico, the revolution will
begin in earnest. The idea of those
backing the movement is to cut off that
portion of Mexico north of a line ex
tending from Tuxpan, on tho gulf of
Mexico, to Mazatlan, on the Pacific
ocean, and declare a republic nnder the
constitution as promulgated in 1857.
COUNT If-B BAT WAR.
Another Bloody Chapter In the History
of Kansas.
Arkalon, Kan., Jan. 6. —Another
bloody chapter haa been added to the
criminal history of Southwestern Kan
sas. The county aeat war between
Woodsdale and Hugoton haa again re
sulted in bloodshed. A plot to kill
Judge Botkin, theopponentof one of the
murdered leaders of the feud was put
into executiou today. It failed,
and the bullets intended tor Judge Bot
kin ended the life of a sheriff Dunn.
Three weeks ago Judge Botkin received
information that a mob composed of
members of the Citizens' Alliance of
Woodsdale and Springfield would en
deavor to assassinate bim on the way to
court at Springtield this morning.
The information was furnished by a
member of the conspiracy, who gave the
names of all implicated in the plot. It
also stated that the judge would be
tired upon at the head of a valley near
Cullert's place, one mile southeast of
Springfield.
Last night Judge Botkin, Sheriff Dunn
and six deputy sheriffs held a meeting
at the house of the judge, which is two
miles south of the head of the canon.
They decided to scout the country
between the judge's house and the court
house, and started from the house to do
so. At 3:30 this morning they came
upon a mob composed of about forty
men with Winchester rifles, and a right
ensued. It lasted until daylight. The
sheriff was literally riddled with bullets.
All the other officers escaped and went
to Springfield, where they barricaded
themselves in a private house. The
mob puraued them to town. Shortly
after daybreak Joe Laribee, court
stenographer, was seen by mem
bers of the judge's family, who
all this time had been at' home,
approaching the house on a horse. The
mob could also be seen in the distance.
Laribee flanked tbe mob and reached
the house,' when be told the judge of
the result of the battle and urged him
to flee with his family to Arkalon. Not
longafterwards Mrs. H.P.Laribee, wife of
an under sheriff, also arrived at tbe
house, with a similar message from
Deputy Sheriff Stein.
The cashier of tbe Arkalon state bank
and County Attorney Branchomp
secured the body of Sheriff Dunn and
brought it here. It will be sent to his
family.
In addition to the members of the
Citizen's Alliance who composed the
mob were also half a dozen desperate
characters from Grant county. All
were under the leadership of John
Stuffle, recently convicted in Judge Bot
kin's court of horse-stealing. The in
stigators and principal movers of the
conspiracy are: Mrs. M. Wood, wife of
the murdered Sam Wood; John R. Gar
rison of Garden City, A. R. Kilgore, C.
S. Kilgore, O. S. Aubrey of Woodsdale;
B. J. Valhores, C. L. Culver and W. B.
Orner of Springfield.
Judge Botkin has had detectives in
the camp of the Citizens' Alliance of
Woodsdale and Springfield tbe past
three weeks, and has in his possession
conclusive evidence.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. s.—This afternoon
Governor Humphrey received a tele
gram from Judge Botkin, dated at Arka
lon, urging the governor to send the
adjutant-general with troops to Arkalon
on a special train as quickly as possible.
Necessary orders were given at once,
and Company A of the First infantry
started for tbe scene. Adjutant-General
Roberts left tonight, and will direct the
troops in person. It is not likely that
the trouble is ended. The facte in
regard to the conspiracy discovered by,
the judge, go to show that if tbe attack
on him from ambush waa unsuccessful,
the mob would go to hia house or
wherever be was and murder him. It
is thought an attempt of this kind will
be made tonight.
THE BALTIMORE.
She Arrives at San Franclseo—Captain
Schley's Statement.
Ban Fkancisco, Jan. 5. —The United
States cruiser Baltimore arrived here at
9:30 thia morning from Valparaiso, via
Callao. Captain Schley was immedi
ately interviewed by an Associated Press
i reporter. He Htated that his report had.
been forwarded to Washington, and he
was not at liberty to make any state
ments concerning the contents. He
stated, however, that he had seen no
reason to modify his former telegraphic
report based on the investigation of the
Valparaiso mob by the officers of the
Baltimore. "My men," said he, "thirty
four in number, entirely unarmed, were
attacked at almost the same moment in
half a dozen different parts of a dis
trict of the city a mile and a
half wide, by mobs varying from 300
to 2000 men. Two were killed, five were
seriously stabbed and eighteen more
bruised and hurt. Every one of them
was stabbed from behind—not one from
in front. If my sailors had been armed
they could have defended themselves,
for when two of them turned at bay the
Chileans fled. If they had had knives
I believe each one could have chased a
dozen Chileans. The wounded are all
well now, but I cannot permit them to
be interviewed at present. The riot
lasted about an hour and a half."
Captain Schley's attention was called
to the report of the procurator fiscal of
Valparaiso, which stated that all but
two of the witnesses declared that the
police had done their full duty. "I do
not know what my men testified," said
the captain, "but I am sure it, was noth
ing like that. After much trouble the
Chilean authorities allowed Lieutenant
Henry McCrea to be present at the ex
amination of the uen, but they swore
him to secrecy, and he cannot make
public what was said. They also made
the sailors sign two papers written in
Spanish, of the contents of one of which
lam ignorant. Maybe the procurator
makes his statement on the strength of
something contained in these.
"The Baltimore left Valparaiso De
cember 10th, rather suddenly. Our
cruise has not been a very pleasant one.
We were in Chilean waters eight
months, and it was like living out at sea
without a chance or invitation to go
ashore. The feeling toward us in Chile
is not cordial, to say tbe least. I think
the statement in this morning's papers
that Chile intends to offer a full apology
is very doubtful."
Following is the list of the men badly
hurt in the riot: George Banter, J. An
derson, J. Hamilton, J. W. Talbot. All
these are now fully recovered, though
at one time their lives were iv danger.
Chas. W. Riggin was killed on shore,
and William Turnbull died of his wounds
shortly afterwards.
The Baltimore went to Mare island
tonight.
The Baltimore brought up from Val
paraiso Captain Dickenson of the Bhip
Rappahannock, and the latter's wife
and two daughters. The Rappahan
nock was bound from Cardiff to San
Francisco with a cargo of coal, but the
cargo took fire off Juan Fernandez
island, and the vessel was totally de
stroyed. The captain and crew re
mained on the island three weeks, and
were then taking off by a passing vessel
aud conveyed to Valparaiso.

An Bnthualastle Mass Meeting; Held In
Ban Francisco.
San Francisco, Jan. 5. —An enthusi
astic meeting of over 3000 people waa
held tonight to take action on the mat
ters connected with the late grand jury.
Many of the moat prominent and best
known men in the city were present.
Ex-Harbor Commissioner A. C. Paul-
Bell called the meeting to order, and
James D. Phelan waa elected chairman.
Speeches were made by Rev. Horatio
Stebbina, Barclay Henley, Rev. T. 0.
Easton, A. C. Paulsell and George Lez
ynsky.
Resolutions were adopted unani
mously stating that whereas, the late
grand jury had shown that official ven
ality of the most depraved type existed
in the city and state government, that
all positions from United States senator
down were sold, and that legislators
brazenly bartered their votes, the peo
ple of the city thanked the late grand
jury and Judge Wallace for their action
in trying to put an end to this, and de
nounced the culpable and criminal in
terference of the Southern Pacific Rail
road company in politics, aB the first
cause of the vile corruption that exists.
The chairman was authorized to ap
point a committee of seven to designate
thirty citizens as tbe executive commit
tee of an organization of citizens who
should labor to free the city and state
from boodlers, and see that the work of
the grand jury is not lost.
Another resolution requested the
superior judges to re-elect Judge Wal
lace presiding judge for the ensuing
term, and appointed a committee to
meet to morrow and present the resolu
tions to the judges.
UNDKR WAt'KK.
A Passenger Steamer bank In the Wil-
lamette Hirer.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 5. —The steamer
Telephone went ashore at the mouth of
the eWillamette river this morning.
There were eighty-five paeaengers
aboard. They were all transferred to'
the steamer Undine, which passed the
scene soon after the accident, and
brought to thia city. From the pilot it
is learned that a heavy fog was hanging
over the river at the time. Jußt before
the steamer struck he realized his dan
gerous position and stopped the vessel,
but owing to the strong current she was
carried down the stream. Seeing thia
he started her up the stream again, and
had proceeded some distance, when
the steamer ran aground on the break
water, wbich owing to the high state of
the river was completely submerged.,
The vessel aoon began to fill and her
stern to slowly sink. She is now com
pletely under water, with the exception
of the bow, wflich ia supported and held
fast by the breakwater. Had it not
been for the latter fact the vessel would
have sunk in seventy feet of water, and
the fate of the passengers would have
been extremely doubtful. The value of
the freight aboard did not excee'a $500;
is impossible now te estimate the amount
of the damage. The steamer was valued
'at about $60,000.
Negligence of the Company.
Salbm, Ore., Jan. 5. —The state board
