should I particularly mention friends especially? All are friends. All who wear the proud name of Republicans are friends. 'Applause.) We only know one enemy; that Is the common enemy of our cause. I thank you again with all my heart and bid you good evening.” speech. Mr. Beveridge met nearly all the members of the caucus and shook hands with them. He was then Invited to the Governor’s parlors, and another pleasant little reception was held. Secretary Wilson said that in behalf of the Governor, who was at home in his bed, desired to congratulate the gentlemen on the happy reS3;lt of the contest. Mr. Beveridge spoke briefly, and then entered a carriage and was driven to the Journal office. He was followed by several of his friends, who afterward took him to the Columbia Club and th<n to the Marion Club. At both places he was enthusiastically received. Governor Mount at a very late hour last night was informed of the selection made by the caucus. He said: "I want to congratulate the Republican party on the work of tne caucus to-night, it has nominated a clean man of marked ability—a man who combines wisdom with the fire and vigor of youth; a lawmaker who will defend the Interests of the people with the courage of a Cromwell. In a knowledge of constitutional law and statecraft he will measure swords with tne ablest in the United States Senate. In masterful eloquence he will be surpassed by none. He is a worthy colleague of Senator Fairbanks. The high rtandard of Indiana's great senators will be elevated and not lowered by Albert J. Beveridge. Judge Taylor was found at his room at the hotel in company with a few* friends, where they had been receiving the news, and expressed himself to a Journal reporter to the effect that he accepted the result with entire loyalty and would give to Senator Beveridge his earnest and hearty support in the high office to which he had been chosen. "To the many friends,” said he, “who have given me their earnest and untiring support, I am under greater obligations than T can express, much less repay, in debts of gratitude I am bankrupt, with infinite liabilities. To have been the recipient of such devotion and confidence from hundreds of Republicans throughout the State is a compensation which in kind is far beyond any satisfaction which the possession of the office could bestow. 1 know that many of them will feel grieved at the result. But we are all Republicans. The destiny of the Republic is in our hands. Outside the lines of our party there is nothing but political chaos. In the presence of these great interests and responsibilities our individual hopes and ambitions are things infinitely small. The acquaintances which have been formed, the friendships renewed and the confidences exchanged around my candidacy are so many ties to bind us together in loyal devotion to the work whieh lies before us in the years to come.” After the caucus had adjourned and the crowd had returned to the Denison the other candidates delivered, brief addresses from the stairway. Judge Taylor's address was *b ' gem of the occasion. The remarks of all were filled with good Republicanism and the hearty congratulations and promises of co-operation and good will. From Mr. Heath. Among the first to congratulate Mr. Beveridge on his success was First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, whose good . wishes come by long-distance telephone at 1 o'clock this morning. Popular Victory for Beveridge. fcr>eoial to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind.. Jan. 10.—Muncie Republicans remained up late to-night, showing great interest in the United States senatorial contest, and when the news of the election of Beveridge was received expressions of enthusiasm on a line with the success of McKinley were shown. Muncie’s thousands of factory people were decidedly favorable to the Indianapolis man. THREATENING WEATHER. ltuin or Snow in Southern Indiana— Warmer in Central Portion.

STEAMER ST. PAUL SAFE ♦ HER DELAY DIE TO A FLAW IS THE MAIN STEAM PIPE. * Forced to tronn the Atlantic at About Half Her Inual Speed—Stormy Weather Eneountereil. . NEW YORK. Jan. 10.—The belated American line steamer St. Paul, Captain Jamison, which sailed from Southampton on Jan. 1, arrived at quarantine at 6:30 this evening, after an eventful and unusually stormy passage. The St. Paul left Southampton on Jan. 1, shortly after noon, and entered the channel in the teeth of a fresh westsouthwest gale, with heavy breakings. On the 2d the wind still blew- from the west, with a heavy sea. On the 3d the wind increased in fury and blew with terrific force. At noon of this date, the ship’s position being latitude 5:17, longitude 22:02, Chief Engineer Hunter, who was making his usual inspection of the steamer's engines, discovered a flaw or crack in the main steam pipe supplying the starboard engine. Captain Jamison was quickly notified of the condition of the steam pipe, and it was decided to reduce the pressure of steam on both engines to 100 pounds, just one-half the engines’ capacity when running at full speed. The steamer proceeded on her voyage, making twelve and one-half to fourteen knots per hour, as the state of the weather permitted. During the remainder of her passage a careful watch was kept on the disabled steam pipe, which showed no further weakness. During the foiiowing days the St. Paul experienced most tempestuous weather, gales shifting with high seas. The passengers on the St. Paul, on being informed of the accident to the steam pipe and a somewhat protracted voyage in consequence, took the matter good naturedly, and on arriving at quarantine complimented Captain Jamison and Chief Engineer Hunter and his staff for their good seamanship in bringing the steamer to port after a perilous voyage. The St. Paul, after a brief Inspection by the health officer at quarantine, proceeded to her dock about 7 p. m. She brought ISO passengers. The American liner New York was brought down to the company’s pier to-day and will sail for England to-morrow in place of the St. Paul. This will be the New York's first trip as a merchantman since her transformation into the auxiliary cruiser Harvard. Three transatlantic line steamers, namely. the Geera. from Bremen: Pomeranian, from Glasgow, and the Boston City, from Bristol and Swansea, arrived at quarantine this morning and reported unusually rough and stormy weather on the Atlantic.

(Concluded from First Page.) there was a great stretch of country in northern China and southern Russia, thickly populated by industrious and intelligent people, forming a vast market for our products. It was of the utmost importance to our people that this market should not be so neglected that it would pass under the control of other producing nations. Mr. Handy asked if the lines of foreign ships operated by the Standard Oil Company would get the proposed subsidy under the pending bill. Mr. Chamberlain, commissioner of navigation, said the measure was so framed as to leave out those ships. Frederick W. Kimball, of the Norfolk & Western Railroad Company, stated that if this bill was passed his line expected to establish anew line of steamers to South American ports. This would overcome the trouble the company now experienced in carrying Virginia coal to South America. The proposed line would run as far south as the River Platte, with a side line up the Amazon.

ALL FIRST-CLASS BEEF. Col. Gallagher Tells About the Meat Distributed to Soldiers. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Lieut. Col. Gallagher, of the commissary department, w ho was in charge of the commissary depot at Shafter’s headquarters before Santiago, reappeared before the war investigation commission to-day. During his incumbency, he said, he issued about 380,000 pounds of refrigerator beef. It was carefully inspected and was all tine meat. He said about 4,200 pounds of beef was condemned by a board of survey after it had reached the camps, which were from two to six miles from the transports. The meat condemned deteriorated between the transports and the camps. He was now issuing meat for about 20.000 men at Augusta. It was good meat, and he should decidedly recommend the continuation of this class of beef. Regarding the “canned roast.” or boiled beef, he said it was good, though not particularly attractive, and our men soon tired of it. Capi. James C. Read, commissary of subsistence in the volunteers who served on the transports Massachusetts and Mobile, described in detail his experience on the Massachusetts, which delivered a large egrgo of refrigerator beef to Porto Rico and Santiago. He said the beef was on board and in course of delivery from July 25 to Sept. 22. It was of line quality and was perfectly good so long as witness had anything to do with it. He had never heard any intimation of chemical treatment of the meat until he read the charges in the newspapers. Asked if he had any official complaint about the beef while in Porto Rico, he said all that was said to him on that line was by General Miles at the latter’s headquarters on Aug. 4or 7.. “I spoke to General Miles.” said the witness, “about the presence of beef on the ship. He said: T understand that beef is not good. Do you know that it is?’ I replied that 1 thought it was good. ‘I understand,’ replied General Miles, ’that it is not good, and I can secure right here all the native beef 1 want.’ That was all.” Lieut. Col. O. M. Smith, purchasing commissary of the army at Chicago, has forwarded to General Kagan a letter from the HamnAmd Company on the subject of General Miles’s beef complaints. The letter says the Arm exports great quantities of tinned roast beef and that no chemicals or foreign ingredients or scraps are used. A similar statement as to chemicals is me ,ie with reference to refrigerated beef, and the public and the government are invited to witness every detail of preparation of beef for the market. * A CAXAL IS ACCESSARY. Only queNtlon Settled by Mr. Hepbiirn'N House Committee. WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—The House committee on interstate and foreign commerce to-day failed to agree on the basis of a Nicaraguan canal bill. Chairman Hepburn submitted to the committee live propositions for the purpose of testing the sense of the committee before beginning the preparation of a bill. Only two of these reached a vote. One of them, the main one. that a bill for the construction of a canal should be reported received the unanimous assent of the committee. That Is as far as the committee went to-day. The other four propositions were substantially as follows; That the canal should be built and owned by the United Slates; that it should be built on land over which tho United States exercises ownership and sovereignty; that it should be built directly under the authorization and control of War Department engineers, in accordance with the general plan of river and harbor work, or under a commission such as has control over the Improvement of the Mississippi river. The discussion developed the fact that there are two general divisions in the committee; tlrm. those who desire that the government shall proceed de novo with negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica for m quirlng sovereignty over a strip of land and then build the canal as a government enterprise without regard to existing concessions. Chairman Hepburn champions this plan. The other division desires that work

shall begin at once under the existing concessions of the Maritime Canal Company, if feasible, or any other agency. The latter believe it would be a mistake to proceed de novo. Besides they affirm that the Constitution of Nicaragua prohibits the alienation of any of her territory to a foreign power. The opponents of Chairman Hepburn's plan had the majority when the test came on the proposition that the canal should be built and owned by the United States. Mr. Sherman, of New York, offered an amendment providing that it should be built by the United States or any other agency (the Maritime Canal Company), under government control. This amendment carried, 7 to 6, but when the amended proposition was put to a vote Mr. Mann, of Illinois, who had voted for the amendment, declined to vote. This made a tie, and the whole proposition was lost. The committee then voted down two propositions for special meetings and ajourned, leaving matters in rather a chaotic condition, the only thing decided being the necessity for the construction of a canal and the decision to report a measure which would provide for its construction. The Senate to-day agreed that after 3 o’clock next Tuesday debate on the Nicaragua canal bill shall be limited to fifteen minutes on each amendment, the Senate to be under the five-minute rule. No time has been fixed for a final vote. NOT ALGER'S AGENTS. Decision Affecting State Oflteers and Expenses of Alilitia. WASHINGTON. Jan. H.—L. P. Mitchell, acting controller of the treasury, has rendered an opinion on the question of the authority of the several staff departments of the army to pay the expenses incurred by the Governors of States or officers of their respective staffs acting under their auhority in raising the volunteer army of the United States for services in the war with Spain. The main point in question is w hether Governors of States who have incurred expenses in raising troops were acting in their official capacity as Governors or as agents of the War Department. It is stated that in some instances expenses have been incurred wffiere the State had no available funds with which to settle the same, and if it were held that the Governors were acting as agents of the War Department the bills could be paid by the disbursing officers of the government. The controller, however, holds to the contrary, and says: “There is nothing in general Order No. 26 which appears to contemplate a delegation of authority to state officers to incur expenses for which the United States is to be charged, and, even if there were, it is a matter of grave doubt whether such delegation could be conferred in such general terms. Public policy, if nothing else, would prohibit such an exercise of power so fraught with possibilities of mischief and uncontrollable expense, and it seems to me there is rio authority for the recognition of state officers as the agents of the War Department for the purpose stated.” ••THE AVAR WITH SPAIN.” Book for Which Air. Healli Wrote ••The Part of (lie President.” Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.—Postmaster General Heath to-duy forwarded to Messrs. Haskell & Sons, of Norwich, Conn., publishers of Blaine's “Twenty Years in Congress,” a chapter for a composite work on “The War with Spain,” whieh that great house is getting out. The book will be the work of Cabinet officers, generals, admirals and political leaders who were in close touch with and participated in affairs throughout the period leading up to and connected with the war. No one person will have more than a chapter, and the cooperation only of those most intimately conversant with the subjects of which they write has been sought. The chapter contributed by Colonel Heath is “The Part of the President.” It will be the leading and the most important chapter in the book. In being asked to write upon this delicate subject, a high and deserved compliment was paid Colonel Heath, for there is probably not a man in Washington who is more familiar with the part which President McKinley took in the momentous events which have taken place during the past eighteen months than the first assistant postmaster general. He is close in the confidence of the chief executive and has the tact and judgment to handle the delicate topic in a proper spirit and with fidelity to the record. To Be Heeoininended (or Promotion. NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: “It is learned that the naval board on promotion will recommend that rewards be given to Ensign H. H. Ward and W. W. Buck, who acted as spies during the war with Spain. This is a list of officers under Rear Admiral Dewey’s command who will probably receive advancement on Secretary Long’s recommendation: Lieutenant Commander C. P. Rees and Chief Engineer James Entwistle, of the Olympia; Lieut. W. P. Elliott and Chief Engineer J. D. Ford, of the Baltimore: Lieutenant Commander J. A. Norris and Chief Engineer Richard Inch, of the Boston; Lieutenant Commander G. P. Colvocaresses and Chief Engineer G. B. Ransom, of the Concord; Lieut. E. M. Hughes and Passed Assistant Engineer R. Thall, of the Petrel; Lieutenant Commander Frederick Singer and Chief Engineer F. 11. Bailey, of the Raleigh.”

The list w r as purposely limited to that number because of the limited accommodations and the crush which has heretofore detracted from the pleasure of similar occasions was, in a measure, avoided.

A CITY CARVED IN SALT THE WOSDEUS OK THE WIELCZKA MINES IX POLISH AUSTRIA. Milri* of Street** mui taverns, Huge Chain hers, and an Underground Railway and ReHtuurant, Strand Magazine. It would take at least three weeks to visit every portion cf the marvelous salt city of Wieliezka, the center of the salt industry of Polish Austria, Men have worked in its hollows for centuries, leaving it as a legacy to posterity. Horses have been brought to life and have died there without seeing the light of day. It is silent and dark, except when the voices of people echo through its countless tortuous halls and the candle of the guide or flash of the roman light discovers its massive and glittering wonders. It is a city hewn in salt. Tho mines are under the direct control of the Austro-Hungarian minister of finance. Here the wonders spoken of may be seen, as they have been seen by people for nearly a thousand years. During that time the skilled hand of the laborer in the Wieliezka salt mines has been at work turning the depths of darkness into a realm of beauty. It has created ballrooms, chapels, altars, statues, restaurants, railways, chandeliers, staircases, pillars and thrones in the bowels of the earth, and the grandeur of these has excited the admiration of the world. The mines date back to 1014 and now have a length of over two and three-quar-ters miles. Above stands a large gray building containing the offices of those in charge of the mining operations. This building is interesting principally because it contains a large number of caps and uniforms worn by various royal personages, Austrian and otherwise, who have descended into this subterranean city. They are each labeled with the name of the visitor and the day of descent. In early times this descent was made in a shaft worked by horse power, but a hydraulic lift is now in use. Some visitors prefer, however, to descend on long, slanting stairways cut in the solid salt. COLOSSAL CHAMBERS. Almost blinded by the darkness and frightened by the eerie echo of his own footsteps, the visitor first enters some colossal chambers, iiollowed out by the laborer in the ordinary course of mining after a plan laid down by some master mind. He almost loses himself in the expanse of the Letow ballroom, which, with its solid mural decoration, illuminated galleries, stalwart pillars and shining chandeliers, is indeed a tit and welcome chamber for lovers of the dance. In its history, which dates back to L, when it was dedicated to Letowski, the chief of the mines at that time, it has witnessed many remarkable gatherings. These have taken place on royal visits or for the entertainment of distinguished guests. One end of the room is adorned with a colossal Austrian eagle and with transparencies painted on slabs of salt. In an alcove at the other end of the room stands a throne of green, tho crystals of which flash a green and ruby red. It is on this that the Emperor sits when he comes to the mines. The ballroom lies at a distance of 216 feet below the surface, being the first of seven stories in the mine. Three of these stories only are open to visitors, us they alone contain tho marvels vistors go to see, and are called “Bono,” “Kaiser Franz” and "Er'zherzog Albrecht,’* respectively, the last two being named in honor of celebrated Austrians. From the scene of gayety and splendor it is but a step to the home of quietude and prayer. Here, off one of the main passages, is the noted St. Anthony’s chapel, the resort of thousands of the devout since it w’us know’n in 1698. The vetibule to this chapel contains a symmetrical archway, with figures at the sides. The interior is beautined by an altar showing the crucifixion. and on the steps of the altar are the forms of two knelling monks. On the sides of the chapel may be seen smaller altars and statues of saints. Many times each year the priests of the district perform their pious duties in this simple chapel, not only in memory of St. Antnony himself, but as a tribute to the miner who, unaided and perservering, built the chapel as it stands to-day. The blocks of salt w'hich he dug out have disappeared, but the lifework of the nameless laborer may last till the end of time. CARVED PICTURE OF BETHLEHEM. It is not at all strange that the religious feeling of olden times should be reflected in the chambers and passages through which we are now' in imagination passing. Hard by St. Anthony’s chapel the torch of the guide illuminates the magnificent shrine and archway hewn in one of the passages. Again, as we move along we see figures of saints in attitude of prayer, and a few minor rooms which we pass hurriedly through bear the names of martyrs. The queen's chapel, with its magnificent altar carved with expert skill in solid salt, contains on one of its sides a view of Bethlehem. Tradition has it that one man spent many months of silent effoit in this picturesque sculpture, now shown to every visitor as one of the lesser but interesting curiosities of the mines. As we turn from it the beautiful chandelier in the chapel catches our eye and makes us marvel that such a delicate conception with so many pendant chains of white should have so long resisted the wear and tear of time. When illuminated, as it often is, this chandelier, with its myiiad lights, is indeed beautiful to see. The descent from the first to the second story is made on a long series of steps of solid salt. At the foot of this remarkable staircase the sightseer is fascinated by a beautiful sight. The giant chamber Michalovvice lies before birr.—vast, fearsome and stupendous—finished in 1761 after forty years of daily labor. It measures fifty-nine feet long, ninety-two broad and 118 feet high, the roof being supported by a wooden frame work to avoid disaster. In the interior a salt chandelier of three hundred lights gleam brilliantly on the rugged sides of this imposing room. When musicians play here the volume of sound rolls and reverberates with deafening effect against the solid confines of the chamber, and, rushing upward, bursts with mighty power against the far-off dome.

RAILWAY AND RESTAURANT. The third floor of this marvelous mine contains the railway station and restaurant, attracting the visitor by its long vista of latticed galleries and ponderous pillars, and its promise of refreshment after a long and weary tramp on unyielding floors. For here at this railway station, where twenty-five miles of railways from all parts of the mine join, a tempting buffet exists the summer through, and is well patronized by the thousands who come from Austria. Russia and Germany to view the wondrous work of salt. But the most marvelous of all—at least, the one which makes the most impression on the visitor—is the subterranean lake, lying seveh hundred feet below' the surface of the earth. The waters of the lake are dark, thick and heavy, and as the boat glides over its face the spreading waters roll up against the sides of the grotto with a ghost-like swish. A ponderous solitude overweighs all. The Styx alone, of all the deathlike streams in legend, could rival this in stillness. The beat is guided through the Stephanie and Rudolph grottoes by ropes running on pulleys along the sides of the boat, and the boatman, with his hands resting on the stern of the curious craft pushes it with his feet braced against the rope. There are sixteen of these lakes in different parts of the mine, but this is the only one upon which visitors are allowed to go. The trip across and back takes fifteen or twenty minutes, as the boat moves slowly through the sluggish brine. A gunshot off in the middle of the lake makes a long and lingering echo, and the voice of the boatman, as he calls out that all Is ready, seems like the voice of a giant from the depths of chaos. The lower stories of the mine are occupied by over a thousand miners, w’ho. working eight hours a day each, managp, in the course of a year, to product 65.000 tons of salt. They toil patiently, cutting th* ir way through the solid salt, leaving beautiful passages heavily covered with a crust sparkling while. Social Turnverein Piny.

ARE YOUR LUNGS WEAK? To Every Sufferer from Coughs, Consumption and Similar Signs of Lung Weakness a Great Specialist Offers His New Scientific TREATAIENT FREE,

Nearly everybody you meet will feel insulted if you say they have weak lungs. All seem to have a solid faith in the soundness of their own breathing machine. They may admit they have a “heavy cold,” “a touch of bronchitis,” or even “a spell of asthma,” but as to weak lungs, NEVER. Even the poor consumptive, who scarcely speaks without coughing, whose cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the hectic flush of doom, will assure you that he will be ail right when the weather changes. How' many a poor bread-earner there is who keeps on and on at his daily toil, taking cough medicines by fits and starts, but never quite curing his cough, while this same cough is but a symptom of decay that is eating into his lungs and will in time cause their destruction.

Tints does a wife observe her husband, or parents witness the struggle of a darling child, while no steps are taken to battle with the evil until consumption has seized on one more victim. It is terrible to think how far we may be guilty by our indifference to the lung troubles of those near and dear to us. It is also terrible to think that we may possibly hug a similar dangerous delusion as to our own health until too late to obtain a remedy. Let us leave the distressing subject to come to what is practical. Lung troubles don’t move backward. Weak lungs must be healed and strengthened and rid of the very earliest germs of disease or you are simply committing a form of suieide. Either you must _cure vour lung troubles or THEY WILL KILL

M’COY WHIPPED. (Concluded from First Patce.) New r York fight, said: “If McCoy wins the fight to-night I will take him on any time. My money is always ready to be posted. 1 will fight him for either the middle or heavweight championship. I will scale down to 158 pounds to accommodate him if he wants to fight in the middleweight Sharkey is a faker. If he wins I may tell him to go fight Maher. Yes. 11l figm u.bett again.” said Fitzsimmons, in reply to a question, “provided he whips Maher.” Bob Fitzsimmons declared he w’ould fight Sharkey within any time after three weeks from to-night, provided the latter wilt put up a side bet of SIO,OOO. “I have always said I never would have anything to do with him again.” declared Fitzsimmons. “1 licked him fairly in San Francisco and then was robbed of my money. Just let him cover my forfeit of $2,000 that is with a New York newspaper, put up a side bet of $10,090 and 1 will make a match with him any day. I will lick him to a finish, you can bet on that. 1 have him now just where I want him.” The champion admitted Sharkey was a better man than when he fought him in San Francisco, but said he would have little trouble in putting him out. Defeated in the Twentieth. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Jan. 10.-Jack O’Keefe, of Boston, was knocked out in the twentieth round here to-night by Jimmy Murray, of Cincinnati. ♦ M'COY'S FAMILY HEAR IT. Hi* Mather Could Senreely Restrain Her Tears. Homer Selby, brother of the Indianapolis pugilist, sat in a box at Hie Park Theater while the returns from the fight were being read to the audience last night. Selby sat near the telegraph operator, and as the news from the fight was "ticked” off he read the bulletins over the operator’s shoulder. The mother and sister of McCoy were also in the audience. Selby wore a smile on his face until the last round was reached. He left the theater with the crowd und met his mother and sister at the door. “I can’t understand what the trouble was,” he said to someone who asked him what he thought of his brother’s defeat. “When i saw my brother two weeks ago he was in fine condition, but, of course, was much lighter than the other man. I had every confidence in his winning the fight, and was hopeful up to the last round.” Wclby says that A cCoy w ill not be badly embarrassed financially as a result of the tight. “You can’t win all the time,” h** observed by way of excuse for the “Kid's” defeat. McCoy’s mother was bitterly disappointed at the result and could scarcely restrain her tears as she left the theater. A lively interest was taken here in the fight. The Park and Empire Theaters, where news of the fight was received hy wire as the rounds progressed, were crowded. and at an early hour seats on the stage were sold at the latter theater. Tron’s poolroom was packed with men, and outside other men pressed their ears to the windows and doors to hear the announcements and then repeated them to the rest. The betting changed from odds on Sharkey to even when the new's was received that nothing but even bets were being made at the ringside. About $1,590 was put up at Harry Walker’s place, and most of it was McCoy mone>. Because the McCoy-Sharkey fight and the senatorial contest both occurred last night, people supposed to know something about them would have had to be possessed of second sight 'to answer questions with reason. “What about the fight?” some hale youth asked. “Don’t know, only two ballots have been taken so far.” “To h with the ballots; I mean did the ’Kid’ lick the sailor?” With this bit of repartee in mind the alleged wise man answered to the next question about “the contest,” "Sharkey knocked Hanly out In the tenth round.” “I am not interested in a brutal prize fight, sir; 1 meant to ask about the senatorial contest.” The Coming; Wouuiu.
