Most of the Senatorial Boomers Have Returned Home. Worn out with the past few weeks and days of hard work, nearly all of the senatorial boomers left for their homes yesterday, and last evening the Denison was as a deserted village compared with its jropulation for some time. A few of the members sat around in the lobby. A few were talking, but the greater part were trying to hold their eyes open. There would be a yawn, a rubbing of eyes and then a member would get up and start for the elevator. Major Steele was the only candidate ■here and he sat in the lobby, the freshest looking man in the number. Mr. Judge Taylor and Mr. Hardy all left for their homes yesterday, and with them went most of their supporters. The formal vote for senator will be taken in House and Senate on next Tuesday, in accordance with federal law. Mr. Beveridge will have a majority in both branches, and the only duty of the joint meeting of the two houses, which will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 18. at noon, will be to canvass the Vote and declare the result. Some of the incidents of Tuesday night’s caucus are becoming public. One of the members said yesterday: “There was nothing extraordinary about the caucus, but there was a suppressed excitement, which was intense. Barlow stood up reading the ballots and at times he was so excited and was working so hard to suppress it that his voice trembled. On the final ballot he was holding himself in to such an extent that he had to stop and swallow at times. His voice shook.” The members are laughing at the enthusiasm of Mr. Holcomb, who was one of the most ardent Beveridge men from the first. When the last ballot was being capt Noel, <of this county, another ardent Beveridge man. was coming down the aisle, when Holcomb rushed up to him and said “Vote for Beveridge! Vote for Beveridge.” On that ballot was the greatest excitement, and Noel says he only looked at Holcomb long enough to see that he was white with excitement. He was not the only one, and when the Beveridge count reached 45, or the number necessary for a choice, there was but one yell, but it was a relief to the pentup feelings of the members, Representative Francis T. Roots, of Fayette and Wayne counties, will present the pama of Mr. Beveridge to the Legislature for United States senator. Mr. Roots placed Senator Fairbanks in nomination two years FORECAST FOR TO-DAY.~ Threatening NVentlier nml Higher Temperature Throughout Indiana.

Mr. Heath and Others Compliment Mr. Beveridge. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.—Senator Fairbanks sent cordial greetings to Mr. Beveridge to-day, congratulating him on his splendid triumph and expressing his gratification at the prospect of having the brilliant orator for his colleague. The senator kept his hands off throughout the contest, though appealed to with great earnestness by the friends of every candidate but one to interest himself. Each and every one was and is his personal friend, and he felt himself to be under political obligations to a greater or less extent to all. He weighed the situation carefully and decided that under the circumstances the wise and prudent thing for him to do was to hold entirely aloof. Then none could have valid grounds for complaint. He has consistently adhered from the first to the policy of noninterference and has been free to state his position to all who had the right to ask him ‘‘How he stood.” Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster general, expresses his entire satisfaction over the caucus result. He said to the Journal correspondent this afternoon: “I have known Mr. Beveridge intimately for many years and regard him as one of the ablest men in the country. He is a young man, and coming as he does right from the activities of civil life, he is in close touch with the people and in sympathy with them. He will prove an able senator and I predict for him a magnificent record. He will get right down and work for Indiana and will accomplish results. He is the peer of the best as an orator and he is brimfull of enthusiasm and energy and withal possesses tact and rare courage. He will take kindly to Washington and if I am any judge Washington will reciprocate cordially. My relations with all of the candidates have been friendly and with none more so than Mr. Steele and Mr. Beveridge.” Representatives Overstreet, Landis, Hemenway, Paris and Henry, who were at the Capitol this afternoon, w’ere outspoken in their satisfaction. All had kindly and cordial words to say of and about Mr. Beveridge and without exception they predict a splendid public career for him. De Pauw Students Happy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

LYNCHERS SQUIRMING SCOTTSBURG GRAND JURY HAS EVIDENCE FOR INDICTMENTS. ♦ The \\ ife of Gen. Gordon Remembers a Hoonier Soldier Whom She Nursed—-Other State News. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SCOTTSBURG, Ind., Jan. 11.—The grand jury is diving into the lynching matter in a way that is causing some squirming in some parts of this section. A number of witnesses were examined to-day and while their testimony is a secret of the jury room enough has been learned from other sources to indicate that the work of the grand jury is very likely to prove more fruitful than was at first anticipated. So far there is not sufficient preof to warrant the indictment of any one, but a strong web of circumstances is being woven around the suspected persons and it is believed that a little more evidence will justify the return of indictments. To-day it is rumored that the grand jury has been unable to secure a very important witness and it is current street talk that the person in question is keeping out of the way of a summons because of 41 threatening letter ho received, supposedly* from some number of the mob. It is also said that another person in the same neighborhood w*ho has been talking freely, found a bunch of switches with a note attached, at his door one morning recently. If these stories be true it is a good indication that the grand jury is hot on the trail of the lynchers and that the, latter have resorted to threats in the hope of preventing people from testifying. It is reported here to-night that an old and experienced detective has been quietly making an investigation in the western part of this county. Marion’* Driving Park Scheme. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Jnd., Jan. 11.— A meeting is called by a few representative citizens of this city to meet at the Commercial Club Friday night and try and organize a driving association. The object is to organize a stock company, purchase a fifty-acre tract of land on the street car line between Marion and the Soldiers’ Home and build a driving park and athletic sporting held, amphitheater, clubhouse, band stand, and other buildings. In addition to the mile track, there will be another track for driving purposes, a baseball diamond, football gridiron and a field for all kinds of athletic sports. It is the intention to arrange the park on the plan of the Latonia Driving Park at Covington, Ky*. The estimated cost is $20,000. Several persons are very much interested in the project and believe it could be made successful and profitable. It appears that they are justified in such an opinion, as there is nothing of the kind in or near Marion, and there is a large population here, and all the tow ns along the interurban railway would undoubtedly assist in making the venture a success. Marion’s splendid street car service would help a great deal. The eight cities connected with Marion by street railway have a population of nearly 125,000. Soft .Job for Hoosler Soldier. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Jan. 11.—Earl Mcßride, of Delphi, who w*as a member of Company* E, of this city*, in the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh Indiana, having resided here at the outbreak of the late war, is in the city to bid his friends goodby, preparatory* to leaving in a few days for Cuba, where he is to assume the duties of a clerkship in one of the military* posts. Asa member of Company E he was clerk to Captain Graves, but became so ill at Tampa that he was started for his new home in Delphi, his mother having moved to that place. On the way home he became so ill that he was taken off the train at Hamilton, 0., and placed in a hospital, where he remained for several weeks. His appointment to the clerkship, which pays $1,200 a year, was unsolicited by* him, and he is at a loss to understand what good friend worked in his behalf, though it is understood the friend- was General Gordon, of Savannah, at which point Private McBride. on his homeward journey, was seen by Mrs. Gordon, along with other sick members of the One-hundred-and-fifty-seventh. Mrs. Gordon will be remembered for the interest she took in sick soldiers passing through Savannah. Terre Haute NVants a Charter. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 11.—The City Council last night appointed a committee to take charge of the movement to secure anew charter from the Legislature. A few weeks ago the people of the city and the councilmen were indifferent, but since then the rate of taxation has been raised and there is a strong demand for anew form of government. Mayor Steeg had sent invitations to the authorities of other cities in the State asking them to send representatives to a meeting to organize a state municipal league to secure legislation changing the charters of cities, but only a few signified a desire to join in the movement, and therefore Terre Haute is going to make the effort alone. It was plainly understood in the Council that the law was to be worded so that it would not deprive any one now* in office of his position before the end of the term for which he was elected. This would mean that the police commissioners appointed by Governor Mount will serve through his term at least and that City* Treasurer Borgstrom, who took office for a four years’ term last September, will not be disturbed. By* common consent the duties of the city* treasurer are to be placed on the county treasurer. A “Fake” Cripple Ran. Out, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, lild., Jan. 11.—An impudent hobo received a deserved thrashing here yesterday and was promptly fired out of town. He feigned being crippled and applied at the residence of Mayer Weiler, a prominent merchant for assistance. On being refused, he threatened to burn the property that night. The police started after the tramp, but before he could be apprehended he insulted and struck with his crutch Blacksmith John Conrad, who retaliated by giving him a sound thrashing. The hobo was arrested and given his choice of thirty days in jail or to leave the city. He chose the latter. He was accompanied to the depot by the marshal, who compelled him to purchase a ticket with the money he had begged. The bandage removed from his foot showed that he was not a cripple. -Bottle Work* strike Settled. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Jan. 11.-The strike at the Ntiblesville bottle works is over. State Arbitration Commissioner B. F. Schmid and William J. Smith, president of the Flint-glass Workers’ Union of the United States, were here yesterday and last night.

Jan. 11.—Soon after daybreak tills morning Joseph Buskirk, a well-known citizen here, committed suicide at a livery stable in this city. He took a large dose of morphine and sat down, saying nothing about it. He sank into a stupor, which the attendant mistook for sleep.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 11.—The committee appointed to investigate the books of the United Mine Workers of America was not ready to report wffien the convention opened this morning, and after a short session, during which nothing of importance w’as done, a recess was taken until 2 o'clock this afternoon. After the adjournment the investigating committee held another meeting and adopted a resolution requesting the convention to send a committee to Indianapolis for the cash box. The delegates w-ere hastily called together and the convention reconvened. A motion to send a committee to Indianapolis reopened the bitter fight of yesterday, and tho delegates wrangled for nearly two hours, the convention finally taking another recess without reaching a vote on the motion. During the discussion charges were made that certain delegates were in the pay of the operators; that the tactics of delay were in the interest of the employer, and that those favoring the delay wanted to prevent an election of officers until after the. meeting with the operators next week. At the afternoon session John Fahey reported that the investigating committee was handicapped by not having all'the books necessary for a full investigation. A number of inaccuracies were discovered in the report on credentials. A long and animated discussion followed on the necessity of sending to Indianapolis for the books. Treasurer Pearce finally made a speech, showing that all necessary books were here, and the resolution was voted down. A resolution by “Dad” Hunter, of Illinois, was auoptea, giving tiie investigating committee until 9 o'clock to-morrow to compile its report, with the understanding that if not ready then the report of the credentials committee w’ould be taken up. Then the convention adjourned. Blue Labe! Indorsed.

How He Would Give the Filipinos a Government of Their Own. FRANKLIN, Mass., Jan. lb—Joseph G. Ray, of this town, a short time ago wrote to Senator George F. Hoar, asking for an expression from him as to what the United States should do in the matter of holding the Philippine islands. Senator Hoar replied that he would assist the inhabitants of the islands to establish the form of government which they desire and then withdraw. The letter from Senator Hoar is in part as follows: “I have your letter of Dee. 27, in which you ask what I should recommend doing with the Philippines now that we have them in our possession. In the first place, vve have not got them in our possession, and in order to get them into our possession, as I understand it. we nave got to subdue the inhabitants. We have driven the Spanish army from one port in a single island out of twelve hundred, where they were already hemmed in by the insurgents. We possess that port and one or two similar places. We have under our control a population of perhaps 1C0.0.0 or 125JJ00 persons out of ten or twelve million. What I would do with them is exactly this: I would offer the insurgent leaders, who seem to he the strongest parties in those islands, our aid in establishing such form of settled government as they desire and leave them a sufficient military force to restore order. I would compel the renunciation of sovereignty there by Spain, as we have in the case of Cuba, and. after the government is fairly set up. I would leave the islands to the care of themselves. i suppose there may be, a good deal of turbulence and disorder, hut 1 think, in the course of time, a permanent settled government will be evolved. If it were necessary i would have an understanding with the great powers of the world that we would all join in promoting and guaranteeing such a result.” Three Thousand 111 with the Grip. TRENTON.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ll.—The officers of the steamer Mariposa, which arrived today from Australia, discredit the cable from Australia stating that Mataafa had been elected King of Samoa. “The steamer Janiuni, by which the news was supposed to have been carried to the nearest cable station,” said Captain Hayward, of the Mariposa, “had left Apia a day earlier than we. Now, when w t o left Samoa no ljjlng had been elected. Both Mataafa and Malietoa claimed to have been elected, and the chief justice was to give a decision three or four days after we left. Which ever way the decision went trouble was expected, as the followers of each candidate vowed that they would fight if the other chief was made King. in anticipation of trouble. United States Consul General Osborne and British Consul Maxey had given notice that the person of the chief justice and of Ids family and his private residence, as well as the Supreme Court, are under the protection of the American and British flags, and any attack on them will bo considered an attack cn the flags. “The natives were coming into Apia by thousands while the Mariposa lay there. Mataafa has a following of about 16/100 warriors, while Malietoa has only about 6,000. They w< re killing pigs and laying In stores of provisions, as well as furbishing up their weapons am) getting ready for a light.

It will give all the assimilative functions the edge and power to extract abundant nourishment from the fooil lie cats. It will make good, pure, healthy blood and send it coursing rapidly through his veins and arteries into every organ and tissue of the body. It will put flesh on his bones and force in liis muscles; it will give him strength and courage and cheerfulness, in a word it will give him complete health. It excretes from the system every particle of dead, useless, flabby tissue. It even reduces the weight of the corpulent man at the same time that it builds up his strength and working power. The weight it adds to people who need it is the kind that comes of pure blood and every organ doing its work properly and thoroughly;what pugilists call fighting weight.”
