opted?” Boyce replied that he would want him to write a letter to the President, to the effect that he would vote for Hanna. Boyco then wrote a telegram directed to President McKinley reading: “For the best interest o' Ohio and the Republican party. I will cast, my vote for M. A. Hanna for senator for the short and long terms.” This telegram Campbell was to submit to Otis and if the latter accepted the proposition he was to sign it and the telegram to be returned to Boyce, who was to forward it to th- President. Mr. Campbell carried the telegram away with him and showed it to Jared Bliss, who volunteered to copy the telegram and feign Otis's name to it, which was done. At the next meeting the telegram, or rather a. copy of it. was shown to Boyce and he was told that Otis had Anally contented and that there was the telegram. Campbell said to Boyce: “You will now pay *1.750 and $1,750 when you reach Columbus.” whereupon Boyce counted out $750 more. Campbell said: "This does not make the $1,750.” Boyce replied: “You have already got SI,OOO. This makes ttie $1,750.” Campbell replied: “I thought the sl,000 was for my fee.” Boyce replied that he ‘•ould not give more at that time, as lie could not let it cost him more than $3,500 at that time, although Mr. Otis was to get $6,500 more when Hanna was elected. Mr. Campbell then demanded a receipt, which Boyce did not care to give, although a receipt was Anally written for the $1,756 already paid and the additional $1,730 that was to be paid on reaching Columbus. Campbell said he would take the $750 and the receipt and show it to Otis, to which Boyce agreed. The pian was that Campbell and Boyce and Otis were to meet the. next morning at 9 o’elock and come to Columbus. Boyce did not show up, and on a later train than had at first been Intended. Campbell came to Columbus with Mr. Otis. The itness here, in response to a request, produced the $1,750 that he claimed Boyce had paid to him. He said that if Boyce would return to Hamilton county he would give him back the money, although be might use part of it if Bcyce did not return in paying the expenses of the lawsuit he had started against a paper. This concluded the examination, but it will probably be resumed Monday when Senator Alexander may desire to cross-examine Mr. Campbell. HOWLING POPOCRATS. Kentucky itr> unites Still Venting Their Itage nt Senator Lindsay. FRANKFORT. Ky.. Jan. 28.—The resolution requesting the immediate resignation of United States Senaton William Lindsay came up in the Kentucky Senate this morning, having been passed yesterday by the House.

The temperature of the Senate chamber was decidedly warmer than that of the House yesterday when the resolution came up and hot sjeeche.s were made by Senators Bronston, Alexander Jones and others. Senator Charles J. Bronston, of Fayette, said that Lindsay should be branded as a traitor that all might know him; that he did not represent the Democratic party noriny part of it, and that if he was an honest man he would come home, resign and retire to the shades of private life, where his treacherous course had relegated him. Senator Jones also made a strong speech, arraigning Senator Lindsay’s course in the most severe terms. Great enthusiasm was manifested when the resolution was passed by such an overwhelming vote. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Senor Lindsay was asked to-day for a statement of his position regarding the action of the Kentucky Legislature in asking his resignation. He said: “l prefer not to discus** the resolution before I receive it. I do not owe my seat in the Senate to the present Kentucky Legislature and am not its agent. I represent the State of Kentucky and not merely its Legislature. T do not recognize its right to abridge my term of service—no such power is or was conferred on it by the Constitution either of the United States or the State of Kentucky. I shall not announce my Intention in advance of an official notification of the action of the members of the two houses who voted for the resolution. In the meantime I have no comment to make and nothing to give out for publication.”

The Tennemee Deadlock. NASHVILLE, Tenn.. Jan. 28.—The Democratic legislative senatorial caucus met again to-night and balloted thirteen times without making a nomination. Several changes during tho balloting were made, but the last ballot showed that these changes had been made only as “feelers” to discover whether the supporters of any one of the threp candidates could be stampeded or their lilies broken. The last ballot, the 127th, stood: McMillin, 35; Taylor, 29: Turley. 25, one member being absent who would have voted for McMillin, leaving the situation practically with one vote gained for McMillin. Tho caucus adjourned until next Monday night. The belief that the deadlock will not be broken is growing. MR. FAIRBANKS’S TURN. .'Concluded from First Page.)

KILLED WHILE RUNNING DETAILS OF THE SHOOTING OF ARANGI REN, THE CUBAN LEADER. Hid Mistress Also Slain by the Spaniards—The Body of the Insurgent Chief ldenttlied. HAVANA, Jan. 28.—Further details regarding the killing of Nestor Aranguren, the insurgent brigadier general, known as the “Sheridan of Cuba,” have been received. They show that Colonel Aranzabe, of the Spanish forces, had known for some time that Aranguren was in the habit of visiting his mistress in a hut in the Tapaste hills and the day before yesterday he ordered three columns of troops, reinforced by cavalry, to surprise the insurgent chief, with the result that the later was shot and killed with one of his companions. The troops also captured twft women and the father of Aranguren’s mistress, who is described as being the dynamiter of the band. About four thousand persons have visited the morgue where the body of Aranguren lies, among them being many women, the uncle of the deceased, Jose Maria Aranguren, and his nephew, Nestor Aranguren. The remains were identified by the chief of the fire department, several offiers and a number of firemen, as well as by his relatives. It is said that the mistress of Aranguren and another woman, who were both wounded when the insurgent chief was captured, have since died of their injuries. Aranguren. it is now stated, was shot while he was running. The Spanish authorities say that among the papers which fell into the hands of the troops when Aranguren was killed, was his diary, showing that he ordered the execution" of Lieutenant Colonel Ruiz. There is considerable comment in different circles here at the fact which is now being pointed out, that nearly all the insurgent chiefs of the province of Havana have been killed owing to their visiting their mistresses. Another fact which is being commented upon considerably in social circles is that the bishop of Havana has visited all the secretaries of the autonomous government, while, although two weeks have elapsed since he did so, the secretaries have not returned his visit. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Senor De Lome, the Spanish minister, has received several telegrams from Havana concerning the death of insurgent leader Aranguren. They are from Secretary General Congosto, stating briefly the fact of the killing und the last one adding the following details: “I have seen the corpse of Nestor Aranguren: also, I have examined his documents and have seen his seal in his pocketbook. Among other things he had two buttons from the uniform of Colonel Ruiz. He had a bullet in the forehead. With him were killed four more and live taken prisoners. There is hope of finding where Ruiz is buried.” Consul General Lee. in a dispatch to the State Department, also confirms the reported killing of Aranguren. Reciprocity Negotiations. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Respecting the negotiation of reciprocity treaties between the United States on one side and Spain and Cuba and perhaps Porto Rico on thej other, it is officially admitted at the State Department that such negotiations are under way. They have not progressed veryfar, however, for the reason that an expert commission is required to deal with the intricacies of the tariff schedules, which are especially complex in the ease of the Spanish tariff, with its three sets of schedules, each playing a particular part. As heretofore stated, the basis for the treaties will be found in the reciprocity treaties with Spain, Cuba and Porto Rico, drawn under the McKinley act, and nullified by the Wilson act, though changed business conditions will be taken into account in making the new arrangements. The negotiations wcjre initiated at the instance of our government.

The Spanlull War Fleet. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The reported concentration of the Spanish naval fleet at Cadiz is viewed with unconcern in official circles here, though as yet there has been no official confirmation of the reported order of the rendezvous. It is not believed that the fleet is to be ordered to C*uba in its entirety. It would be a token of unlimited confidence on the part of the Spanish government in the continued neutrality of other nations to deprive the Spanish home ports of the protection of the fleet. Cnbnn Tobacco (Timing. WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—The Cuban tobacco which has been for so long held in Havana is now coming to the United State;* in large quantities.

O’Brien, who purchased the Grand Rapids franchise, together with President Ban Johnson and Charles Comiskey. returned to-day from a fiying trip to Omaha. They are all satisfied with the city. President Johnson said: “We found the people enthusiastic over the prospect of a team and we like the town. There are nearly 300,000 people in Omaha, so South Omaha and Council Bluffs and the cities seem to be prospering. There is no reason that baseball’ should not pay there. We have placed no restrictions on the purchasers, but they will probably be guided by us in locating their club. Anson is not thought of as manager. He would have made a big card in the Western League, and the people were anxious to get him, but we could not stand delay.” Mr. Schuman said: "If a few minor matters can be amicably adjusted we will locate in Omchu.

Jan. 28.—The lirst-class bdttle ship Bartleur, sister ship of the Centurion, the flagship of the British squadron in Chinese waters, will leave Malta for China on Feb. 6. The Russian fleet at Fort Arthur, according to a special dispatch from Shanghai, is helpless for want of coal, being unable to steam even to Vladivostoek. It is added that the Japanese coal firms which had contracted to supply the Russian fleet have defaulted. According to a special dispatch from Shanghai, Sung, the Chinese commander at Port Arthur, recently informed Captain Chichester, of the British war ship Immortalite, that the Russian war ships had the Tsung Li Yamen’s special permission to remain there. Captain Chichester thereupon insisted that Sung should obtain by telegraph similar permission for the Jmmortalite. Sung complied with the demand and permission was granted. It is announced in a special dispatch from Peking that after Russia had offered China a loan on the same terms as Great Britain, China invited Russia to guarantee to defend her against the possible displeasure of Great Britain. Russia, it appears, was evasive in her reply, but a similar guarantee asked of Great Britain against Russia was promptly agreed to. GermauM Killed by Chinese. LONDON, Jan. 28.—1 t is announced in a special dispatch from Shanghai, received here to-day, that four German sailors have been murdered by the Chinese. Another dispatch from Shanghai says: “A telegram from Che-Foo to the Mercury of Shanghai gives details of the assassination of a German sailor named Schulz, belonging to the cruiser Kaiser (first announced in a dispatch ffom Berlin, on Jan. 26) while on outpost duty at Tsimo, the extreme German post in Kiaochau bay. The crime, which was committed by a Chinese rabble on Monday wight last, was not discovered until three men of the corporal’s guard were making the rounds in order to relieve the sentries. Then Schulz was discovered, his head having been severed from his body. The relieving guard was directly afterward attacked by a hundred natives, and after a stubborn fight, it is reported that all the sailors were killed. Twelve natives were killed during the fight. It is added that in consequence of the outrage the greatest excitement prevails at Kiaochau, and it is believed the incident will form the basis of further German demands upon China.” The German government has no news confirming the details of the assassination of. the German sailor Schulz, as announced by the Mercury, of Shanghai. Effect of McKinley’* Speech. LONDON, Jan. 28.—The speech of President McKinley at the banquet of the National. Association of Manufacturers in New York last night favorably affected business on the Stock Exchange to-day. The morning papers comment upon President McKinley’s speech at the banquet of the National Association of Manufacturers Thursday evening, characterizing it as "impressive and high-sounding, but vague and noncommittal,” and "as giving little hope of a bold stand against the silverites.” This Morning Fost says: “The speech was evidently intended to mark the line of buttle in the coming congressional election. Every one interested in American property will rejoice if the Republicans Irankly adopt the policy suggested.”

Russia, May HnlMoze Turkey. LONDON, Jan. 29.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Odessa says it is reported there that M. Zinovieff, the Russian ambassador to Turkey, holds an ultimatum in readiness to be delivered to the Porte, in certain contingencies, to erforce the Sultan’s acceptance of Prince George of Greece as Governor of Crete. RACE WAR IN ARKANSAS. W hites Attempting to Kill Off the Negro Population. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 28.—Trouble between the blacks and the whites in Lonoke county is apprehended, which when once started may outrival anything of the kind witnessed in the South in years. In the town of Lonoke several negroes have been killed by whites and others have been driven away. Notices bearing date of Jan. 23 have been tacked on the door of nearly every negro in the town of Ijonoke and on many cabins in the surrounding country ordering every negro in Lonoke county to leave Lonoke in thirty days and never come back, threatening to kill those who remain. The notices are not signed but are adorned with a skull and cross-bones. Notices have been posted on the doors of negro schoolhouses warning the teachers to close the schools and leave. Many of the negroes have taken their families and moved out of the county and several negro schools have been closed; but a large number have avowed their purpose of remaining in their homes and defending them at the cost of their lives if necessary. One prominent colored man, in an open letter to his race, advised the colored men of Lonoke to supply themselves with arms and be prepared to protect themselves. “When the negroes of Lonoke county kill about twenty-five of these lawless white men,” said he, “the outrages against the negro race will stop and not until then.” A white man of Lonoke recently shot and instantly killed a negro and was promptly acquitted by a justice of the peace. A prominent citizen of Lonoke was in Little Rock in consultation with Governor Jones on the situation to-day. Vvhut took place at this interview has not been given out. The Governor has already offered a reward of SIOO for the conviction of members of the mob. ALLEGED TRAIN ROBBER. Disguised Locomotive Engineer Thrown from Ills Horse.

Kennedy, a locomotive engineer, who has been twice tried for complicity in train robberies at Blue Cut, was picked up on West Fifteenth street to-night in an unconscious condition by persons w r ho had seen him thrown from a horse which he was riding, the horse having slipped on the pavement.

He also carried a lantern. Kennedy, who is detained by the police, says he was starting on a hunting trip. As soon as Kennedy's mishap was known all the railroad headquarters were notified, and through fear that another robbery might be attempted at Blue Cut guards went out on every train that left here during the night.

Miss Bradley to Christen the Hattie Ship Kentucky with Water. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 28.—Next month, when the battle ship Kentucky glides from the ways at Newport News, her prow will not be bathed in champagne, nor in good, old Kentucky whisky. The fair sponsor. Miss Christine Bradley, will uncork a beautifully embellished silver vessel full of pure water. On the farm in Larue county, where Abraham Lincoln was born, there is an unfailing spring of cold, crystal water, where, in his boyhood, the great emancipator was wont to slake his thirst, using gourd for dipper. The idea is to have a committee formally visit the spring, fill a silver vessel with the sparkling water and seal it witli appropriate ceremonies. Then the vessel will be given to Miss Bradley, who will guard It as a sacred thing until the time for breaking the seal on board the Kentucky. Losses by Fire. CHICAGO.

A Natural and Healthful Proceed lug Those who prefer go6d food and nature! living as a means of health, rather than the drug habit, will be interested to know' that many obstinate eases of constipation are greatly helped by eating a good quantity (say a double handful) of popped corn. It should be thoroughly masticated and eaten perhaps in place of the evening meal. The effect is likely to be felt in the morning and generally produces results satisfactory to the user. Then the far back cause of the trouble should be sought out and remedied. Very often indeed the cause comes from a weakened condition of the delicate nerves and muscles of the intestines, and they art simply powerless to do their work. Coffee is, in the majority of cases, tht active cause of tills weakened condition, as will be plainly shown by a return to health and strength in these parts when coffee is left off for a month and Poatum Cereal Food Coffee used. The latter furnishes the food elements needed to quickly rebuild the delicate gray substance in the minute nerv* centers all over the human body, and a bounding, vigorous health is the result.
