OHIOANS SORELY AFFLICTED.
Three Times Within Flv0 Weeks Have
They Been Grieved By Death.
Columbus, O., Feb. 18. Gov. Her
rlck telephoned from Washington Wed

from 1 to 1:05 p. m., Friday, during

The joint resolution drawn up by
tho committeo of state officers and
members of the legislature pays tho
following tribute to the late senator:
"Three times In tho space of five
weeks Ohio has been shocked and
grieved by tho death of a distinguish
ed citizen, whoso 'leadership among
his fellows had gained for him the
highest popular favor. Two of these
have filled the governor's chair with
conspicuous ability; tho third, facile
prlmceps jis chief of his party organl
zatlon, as senator In tho national con
gress, as broad-minded statesman and
philanthropic citizen, was one of tho
'most influential men of his time.
Merging from private life less than a
decade ago, and from the beginning
much misunderstood and much abused,
'not to say cordially hated by those
,who didn't know him, In a few fleeting
years he had compelled the admiration
of all, and had won the trustful lovq
of both. Marcus A. Hanna was a mas
terful man; but ho was also a man o
high and honorable purposes, and o(
genial disposition. He went straight
to the mark, but there was nothing
sinister in his metliods. Ho was ali
ways out In tho open, honest, zealous,
frank and fair. With such method ho
won success and fairly earned the ret
markable Indorsement which called
out that proud and happy utterance
which is still ringing in our ears,
'And may I not say vindication?'
"We shall miss his counsel, his in
trepid leadership, his loyal friend
ship." SONS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION

London, Feb. 18. Japan Is most suc
cesBfully keeping her plans secret.
Not a slnglo Item of news which could
be of possible service to the enemy
has been permitted to leak out. The
belief Is prevalent In London, based
on hints in dispatches from corre

nature will be attempted until Russia's
naval squadrons aro effectually dis
