As Senator Hanna was appointed when Secretary Sherman Jwient into the cabinet, arti cle 2, section 2, of the Statutes is being auoted as i follows : "If vacancies (in the senate)? happen by resignation or other wisei during the recess of the leg islature of any state, the executive thereof may make temporary appoint-; ments until. the next meeting of the leg islature which shall then fill such va cancies." i ' f r-'-'-.. ill ..''' :: While this talk about Ohio now hav ing oly one Senator proceeds, the Hanna men explain that they wantlthe same action now as was accorded Sena tor Foraker -two years ago. sForaker bad been -endorsed at the Zanesyille state convention m 1894 for senator and was elected; without any caucus or any republican opposition! an the legislature.

Hanna. Governor Bushneil was almost over come witb emotion,. - in his response. He referred to the fact that the repre sentatives and senators from Clarke county are strong adherents of Hanna, while three (fourths of the Cuyahoga county delegation are for him. He aid he had toeen misunderstood ' and anis- represented in the present controversy and.tftlarged tajs It was not true that be had attended a democratic confer ence to defeat, Hanna (Cheers), He said he did not ' know that such a con ference had foeen.! held. He exipressed the belief that the - members of - the house and senateshould settle the ques tion of a senator and; that 'all others should remain out of 'the fight. "But this," he said,', "cannot -be, as H 4s a free country; and as, long as the people behave they have a . right to -be there. But all people have their preferences and prejudices. -Until today my repub canism has never been questioned." - Hisses, and groans, . mingled jwlfch cheers, 'greeted this . statement and Governor Bushnell . raised hl3 hand to quiet-the assemblage.

' V The Cold Snap In Florida :- . Jacksonville, Fla., January 4. The cold weather of January 1st and 2nd, did con siderable temporary damage to vegeta-' bles, but none of a permanent character. Orange trees will in some cases lose their , foliage and where they were in exposed' places in the northern . border of the orange belt, will lose a part of their ten der growth. Owing to the fact, - how ever, that the sap was down, the trees -themselves were able to resist unscathed .eyen lower temperature. Reports from the pineapple belt of the eastcoast indi cate that the damage to pineapples was trifling. The fall cj-optof tobacco in all parts-of the state was frjured badly. Blooms on strawberries ,were killed. Early ' straw berries in "the northern section - were frozen on the vines and the plants them selves set back fully six weeks. The ten der est garden icrops in all sections as far. south as Tampa, where lacking protec--tion. by forests, . streams or lakes, wers badly . injured, but - expps&d gardens did not represent -mere than half the area, in truck, growers having learned by expe rience the wisdom of selecting well pro tected spots. . ! . i Schedale of His Stealing Furnished by a sPefndsut ' ! ' " San Bernardino. Cal. January 4. A,, P. Revis, a member Of the Salvation Ariny in Redlands. who was arrested for whole sale thievery, appeared before the supe rior eourt yesterday With a Bible in. one hand and a tabulated statement of his thefts, committed since 1888 in the other. He pleaded guilty s to1 the crime charged 1 and also insisted that p.unisbmant be ad ! ministered for each, theft committed, as ! per schedule which appeared by the score In that way only, he said, he could atone to a just, God. The 'defendant presented so novel-a case, without any attorney to advise .him, that.; the court refused to pass sentence without further consider ation and continued the time for sen tence two days. ; ;': - .

Upon" the announcement of 'the'vefidct the examination jof veniremen for a jury to hear the second charge against the prisoner was begun immediately. It is also proposed to press 'a, charge of per jury . against Bates,, based on admission made by him today on" . the witness stand: Three of the wives were present in court. The Kentucky legislature Conveiics Frankfort, Ky., January 4. The con vening and organization of the two legis-r lative houses today " were without . lq'ci? dent of note. A failure to complete the organization of t the lower branch pre eluded even the beginning of. business. The. governor also failed to transmit his message, which, later, came out in the afternoon papers, j- . The biggest; fight ainongithe democratic majority ,of "the house, the caucus -of which ! wa? not concluded till tonight, was over the determination, of a majority to limit the candidates i f or : oneof ' the minor places to negro democrats. Some of the members fought this measure to a finish, but the negro won and was given the place. . ' j - r v - i " Saccessf oti Foot Ball Season " PHnceton, : January 4.
