HANNA'S LIFE STORY.
Late Senator Possessed Qualities Hint
Endeared lllm to Many,
Mark A. Hanna, United States Sena
tor from Ohio, chairman of the Itcpubli
ran National Committee, multi-million-ire,
iron, coal and railroad magnate and
reputed aspirant for the presidency of
the United States, had becu for eight
f ara past oue of the most prominent fig
ures in American public life. His name
hardly known to the public before 1884,
be sprang into politics, influenced tho
nomination and election of McKiuley for
President, refused to accept any cubinet
ftffJce, was first appointed and afterward
elected Senator from Ohio and wns the
acknowledged leader of the Republican
party in national affairs.
Senator Hanna's great success in poli
tic as well as In business had Ix'en tho
more remarkable as he had few advan
tages of early education. Horn of poor
parents, he made his first success in life
as grocer'e clerk. Strong, forceful, aggressive,-
fearless, he elbowed his wuy
..u the mlder of file's success, regardless
of t how more timid ones whom he shoved
aside.
Murk Hunus was born lu New Lisbon,
Columbiana County, Ohio, on Sept. 21,
137, and was therefore (Ml years of age.
During hi early boyhood he went to the
Tillage sehooU When Mark was 15 years
of age the family removed to Cleveland,
where lis father became a partner, iu a
grocery firm. '
Keen Uuslass Id an.
At thf uge of 20 be became a clerk at
(25 a mouth in his father's grocery store,
lie worked hard and at the end of three
years wax promoted to be a Talesman.
He went on the road os a "drummer" for
the house for little while, and tl-.ii
when his father died returned to Cler
land and helped run the store.
Ia September, WU, Mr. Ilauna mar
ried Miss Augusta Rhodes, the daughter
of D. P. Rhodes, out of the pioneer coal
sod Iron men of the Great Lukes region.
I'susa wmt into business as a member
f tie fafaeHn-law't Ann.. It ia tha auc
' -er of title same firm that U now
7 t LL JL Hanna It Co.
tils political career rcolly began in
1SX4, when he was sent as one of the
delegates at large from Ohio to the Re
publican nntlonnl convention in Chicago,
where Maine was nominated. During
the campaign which followed Maine vis
ited Cleveland and was entertained by
Hsunn. Important details of the cam
paign were discussed nt this conference
and it resulted In Mr. Hanna being in
trusted with the management of the
ltlnine rampnign in Ohio. Hnnna's mas
ter stroke, his political admirers say, was
his organisation in Cleveland of a "Itusi
ness Men's league" and its extension
throughout the country ns a political
movement.
Then he Interested himself In Major
William McKinley, Congressman from
Ohio, who was beginning to make a rep
utation for himself through the high tar
iff bill bearing his name, which was pass
ed by Congress. First, Hanna captured
the delegations from the Southern States
nnd got them to come out for McKiuley;
then he went to work on the country at
large. The nominntion of McKinley fol
lowed. Hanna was pnt in charge of the
national campaign and he elected his
man. There was no appointive position
In the gift of the new President which
Hanna might not have had if he had con
sented to accept. Itut he would not enter
the cabinet, although the office of Post
master General was held open for some
months In the hope that be might be per
suaded to accept it.
John Sherman of Ohio was made Sec
retary of State and Hanna was appointed
to fill out Sherman's unexpired term in
the Senate. Hanna wns afterward elect
ed Senator by the Ohio Legislature.
As a Senator.
In the Senate Hanna took a command
ing position. He was recognised ns the
spokesman of the administration and the
"boss of the Republican party." The
death of McKinley came as a great blow
to Hanna, who had been so closely asso
ciated with him politically, but he main
tained his great influence in the party
and in the Senate even after a new
President had come to sit in the White
llmrtte.
Recently Hanna had devoted much of
his lime and energies to the Civic cdere.-
Hon movement for the adjustment of the
differences of capital nnd labor, and had
declared that his life ambition was to
aid In bringing about a settlement of that
much-vexed question.
The art of public speaking was picked
up by Senator Hanna. A few years ago
he could not make a speech, but later
was regarded as one of the most forceful
speakers on the political platform. "Sen
ator Haniia did not claim to be n scliol-
nr," said one of his colleagues, "but fre
quently he surprised his friends by quick
and keen quotations from philosophers
and historians."
The family of Senator Hanna consists
of his wife, one son (Daniel R. Hanna)
and two daughters, Mabel and Ruth.
The latter had the honor of christening
the new battleship Ohio. His estate Is
estimated to be worth $25,000,000.
Like all strong men, he had tender
sympathies, and his affections were deep
and abiding. His touching devotion to
McKinley forms un Inspiring chapter iu
the history of American politics. Simple
and democratic In his tastes, he easily
made friends, nnd he held them fast.
Hundreds of newspaper men all over the
country with whom he come In contact
will cherish his memory because he was
uniformly courteous, helpful and obliging
In the stress and turmoil of political
strife.
OUR AUXILIARY ARMY.
Extensive Meaanres liclng Taken to
Whip the Militia Into bhape.
Twenty new military attaches have
just been appointed by tho 1'resideut to
serve at the capitals of us many States
and Territories. Their business will be
to instruct our new auxiliary nrmy:
which has been creuted by act of Con
gress, and to sec that It Is brought up
to a maximum degree of elllciciicy for
wur.
Tills army will number about 125,000,
and will prove a powerful auxiliary force
In case of trouble with a foreign power.
Congress bus decreed that within four
years from I lie present date tho entire
force must be organized, disciplined mid
equipped in nil respects exactly like our
regular troops, and $2,000,000 has been
made nt once available for the purchase
nnd manufacture of a first installment of
the requisite rilles and other materia!.
By the same legislative enactment the
great body of fighting men thus brought
under direct Federal supervision, though
it will continue to be known as the "mi
litia" of the Stutes mid Territories, is
transformed actually into a provisional
brunch of the regular army of the I'nited
States.
It is a wholly novel departure. The
militia of tho country is no longer to be
heterogeneous congeries of more or less
defectively trained bodies of citien sol
diery, but a thoroughly drilled and well
instructed army, provided with the best
obtainable weapons ami equipments, ami
in reudiness nt any time to take the field
ut a day's notice, in response to n sum
mons by the President. In time or pence
the organizations composing this army
are controlled by the Stutes and Territo
ries, but iu cuse of wnr they will be Im
mediately available as part of the Fed
eral forces.
The new ormy which CoiiKress thus
places nt the service of the country con
sists of 107.422 enlisted men and l,120
commissioned officers.
With a view to transforming this
greot moss of troops into a complete and
euVicnt whole, the militia or all tho
States and Territories has been placed
under the direct supervision nnd general
management of the Wnr Department.
Authority over tho citizen soldiery bus
not been taken nway from the Governors
of the Stutes, but it is to be trained un
der the Federal eye, provided with arms
and equipments by t lie government, nud
kept continually under watch iu order to
be sure that every regiment nnd com
pany is in condition at nny minute to
take the field.

Japan KmbarVs Three Divlaione.
All official dispatch received from To

portant movements of Japanese troops
yet made occurred Wednesday. One of
the main branches of the army, consist
ing of three divisions and including a di
vision of guards, went on board trans
ports. Previous landings of Japanese
forces in Korea and elsewhere are said
to have been small compared wh this
siijiiltiiii"oiis sailing of three divisions,
r.ggrcKnt.ng approximately an army of
KO.OOO ( .-,0,1 MM) men.
The Japanese authorities, it is stated,
had taken every precaution to prevent in
formation from going out concerning the
embarkation and the destination of this
army. It is believed that the destination
of this force is a point near the mouth
of the Ynlil river, or a spot on the Lino
tung peninsula, flanking Port Arthur.

When the trial opened there wns i

of Van Dine and Marx, all of whom si
lently sat while the prosecutor told of
the murderous fire of the prisoner!
through the doors and windows of thi
cashier's room of the City Railway Com

In approaching the story of the car
barn murders Mr. Olson related the cir
cumstances of the acquaintance of the
bandits prior to their career of robbery
nnd murder: how they hnd practiced
shooting and bow they had planned theit
course of crime. Reaching the car-bars
tragedy, Mr. Olson told of the visit of
the defendants to the cashier's desk nnd
the fusillade of bullets which followed

Chaplain Hale referred to the oriental
war lu his prayer nt the opening of the
Senate Wednesday. Mr. MeCiiinber In
a speech supported the Panama cnnal
treaty. A number of private pension bills
were passed. Mr. McCumber preseuted
the credentials of his successor. Isidor
Rsynrr, as Senator from Maryland. Mr.
Gamble reported fuvnrnbly friin the com
mitteo on public Innds the 5 per cent bill
for the regulation of accounts between
the United States nnd the several States
relative to the disposition of public lauds.
The Senate on Thursday adopted a
joint resolution authorising a survey to
determine whether a tidewater ship canal
across Florida is feasible. The greater
part of the dsy was spent in a consid
eration of the Panama canal treaty iu ex
ecutive session. The House by a vote of
172 to 103 concurred in the Senate
amendment to the urgent deficiency ap
propriation bill authorizing a loau ot
$4,000,000 by the government to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition. It was
(mended with respect to the msuner In
which the money shall be paid. The
proposition was strongly opposed in the
debate. The House also concurred iu
tbe Senate amendment to the bill author
ising tests of coals and lignites nt the
Fit. Louis fair nnd non-concurred iu all
the other amendments proposed by the
Senate.. The report of the navnl affairs
committee on the uaval appropriation,
carrying a total of $0,33S.0oS. was re
ceived. The Senate Friday listened to the
rending by Mr. Cnrmuck of n speech pre
pared by Mr. Morgan in opposition to
the President's policy with reference to

Morgan's resolution asking for informa

what Meps are being taken to acquire the
property of the new Panama Omul Com

ncres of their laud was passed. The bill
providing for tho paymeut of 5-OMKK) to
Queen Lilinokaluni, formerly of Hawaii,
in sftisfaction of all claims, was taken
up. It was amended so ns not to recog
nize rnj claim, and the amount of $".00,
000 was voted down. Mr. Spounvr
moved to recommit the measure, but the
vote on the motion failed to develop n .
quorum. In the House Speaker Cannon!
took the bit in his teeth nnd ran com
pletely nway with legislative precedent.
IncidcPtnlly he broke all previous rec
ord? in the dispatch of privnte pension
bills. Under his gnidnncc 3-0 of these
measures were passed in 155 minutes,
"en. bloc," under unanimous consent,
which the speaker himself asked for.
The suspense concerning the condition
of Senator II anna resulted in the pro
ceedings in the Senate Monday being de
pressed. There were no speeches and
more attention wns given the frequent
bulletins than to matters of legislation.
Immediately after the conclusion of the
prayer the Senate went into executive
session and ngreed to vote on the ratifica

the House, lie acknowledged thnt his
election had been tninted with fraud, but
declared that he wns in no measure re

action was the first case on record where
a member has given up his seat for such
