For almost a rear he has been in the Senate aa the successor of Secretary John Sherman. Daring hie ahort service In public lue Senator Hanna has participated in hard fighting, but be never before won such a victory aa that of to-day.

actional ngni. lug has waged among Ohio Republicans for veara. Others had been lighting under cover. Senator Hanna came out openly at the State convention In Toledo last June and defeated Chas. L.

Kurtz, the close friend of Senator Foraker, Gov. Bushnell and other senior chairmen or tne State committee, and haa had a factional mar on himself ever since. Although Mr. Hanna was duly declared Senator at noon to-day for both the long and short terms, yet the opposition con tinued Its tight in the alternoou ana still. fighting to-night.

Jiut nrevious to the separate balloting yesterday the opposition waa disappointed by the withdrawal of Jephtha oarraro, th uiivrr Renublican candidate for Sen ator. It was thought Garrard would get the votea of Representatives Daoste and Lane, mho voti-d for. Hanna. Garrard's friends say be withdrew because lie waa being used as a means for creating deadlock for the benefit of outsiders. IXjLHiE REFUSES TO RCX.

Previous to the Joint balloting to-day the opposition offered to spport Senator Dodge, of Cleveland, for tne anon term ana McKlsson for the long term. Senator Dodge is a neighbor of Senator Hanna In Cleveland, and was nominated and elected on pledges for Hanna. Senator Dodge stated that the Senator ana uepreeenta-ttves from Cleveland were Instructed for Hanna. and lndlznantlv rejected the prop osition. The proposition was also made te Mrs.

Dodge, who waa equally as Indig nant as her bushana. mie mere nave hn minr negotiations with the wives and other members of the families of Senators and Representatives during the past week or more, the effort to secure id. influence of Mrs. Dodze was the last one reported. The opposition to-day knew they were defeated berore tne joint oai intin hecan but foucht to the last on the charges of bribery and coercion.

In the Joint balloting to-day there were no changes whatever by tbe Senators over their two ballots of yesterday for the long and short terms. McKlsson received 19 votes and Hanna 17 When the roll of the House was called It resulted In the ballots for both terms as follows: Hanna 56. McKlsson to, Lenta 1 and 1 absent (Cramer). The Joint ballot for both terms resulted as follows: Hanna 73, McKisson 70, Lenta 1. absent 1 (Cramer).

The official declaration Showed that Hanna had a majority of three over Me Kisson. of two over all voting, and of one over all the members In the General As sembly. The demonstrations In the nan were un nennllr enthusiastic. Gov. Bushnell and some other State officials were present.

When Foraker was elect ea on tne jomi ballots In the same hall, two years ago. MeKinlev and Bushnell were both pres cut, the one having just retired and the other having Just been Governor. It has been customary in former years for the Governor to lie seat ed beside the Lieutenant Governor when the newly elected Senator was escorted Into the hall. Senator nanna was very busily engaged In his contest last Monday and did not participate In the Inauguration exercises. It Is stated that no invitation or special arrangement ba.l been made for him on that occasion an! that the aame was true regarding the Governor to-day.

Senator Hanna, accompanied by a number of hU adherents, repaired to the ladies' parlor, where Col. Rodgers presented the commission to Senator Hanna in a teat speech.

Senator Hanna. In reply, said: "Col. Rodgers. I thank you. and appreciate this, and I give back to the State my pledge that I will execute the power given me to the fullest extent of my ability, and will do my best to serve the Interests of all the people of my State." Previous to the two houses of the Legislature going Into Joint convention for the election of a Senator, resolutions were offered In both houses for an investigation of the bribery charges made by Representative Otla.

Further consideration of this resolution was resumed In the nate this afternoon, aCd adopted by a vote of 22 to 6L The dissenting Senator plained that they the matter aa buncombe. The committee of five, appointed nnder thia resolution, began its work to-night, but nothing additional was developed.

After their sessions to-morrow both branches of the Legislature will adjourn till Monday.

The tornado destroyed TWO HISTORIC BUILDINGS. Judge Parker's residence Is badly wrecked and the old Rector Mansion, where Albert pike passed his days, la a pile of ashes, the ruins having caught fire from a lamp. The first Baptist Church and the Central Methodist Church were razed to the ground and now are only a scattered pUe of kindling wood.

Fort Smith lie at the confluence of the Poteaa and Arkansaa rivers, which wash Us south and west sides, and to the north and east are hill, which form a barrier about that section of the town. The storm struck the city In the southwestern section, right at a point where the two rivers come together and near the old fort. From, there It spread out over the whole city, dipping down and scattering destruction here and there.

There is a rise in the city, toward the east, to meet the hills on that aide and most of the damage to property and loss of life was through that section. After leaving Fort Smith the tornado veered over and touched at Alma, about nine miles northeast of here, causing considerable damage, but whether there Is any loss of life is not yet known. Mrs. Kin it's home on Twelfth street wa wrecked. The home of Mrs.

Hendrtx on Thirteenth treet was destroyed and the family nearly killed. William. Werner's home was wrecked, but the Injuries to his family. If any. sre not known.

The home of John Harrington slso suffered destruction. A. shanty wtilca stood oa the triangle of Thirteenth street, north of Brecht was swept away, and a woman from there Is reported dying from her Injuries. Her two children were slso Injured. The roof of Jndge Porter's house, occupied by Marshal Stahl and family, was lifted off.

Miss Lily Stahl was seriously injured, but none of the others were hurt, Andrew Dowd's home was wrecked; the Baptist Church was completely demolished, and the Brown Street Church steeple and front blown away. Mrs. Clark's house was blown down, catching the family of Mr. Steems, of the United States marshal's office. In a trap.

They made their escape through a chimney. The home of Mr. Cheneworth, also of the marshal's office, mas blown away, but whether any of the family were Injured Is not known. Among the other residences and buildings blown down are the following: Geo. xi.rtin'a homo i Thirteenth street: a bakery on Fourteenth street; the home of F.

Both of Dr. uates- arms are hn.ken. and his wife was Drobably fatally crushed. She Is still alive at tbe home of a neighbor. Owing to the fact that the tornado, aftr namlnr throuzh the residence dis trict, ilhl its worst work in that oortlon of the business district In which the older nnildinffs were located the total damage does not amount up very rapidly, although buildings were partly or mbolly ruined.

The morgue is taxed to its utmost capacity, and additional bodies are being brought In every few minutes.

Altogether tbe scene at this pluce is sickening and horrible. A heavy rain followed tbe terrible tornado, and it was probably twenty min utes before the city awoke to tne tact that it had heea vUlted by a fearful ca lamity. The fire department was called out. and in less than thirty mlnutea Gar rison avenue, especially in the vicinity th. K-r-k.

It was claimed that the fifty-six Republicans who voted for Hanna to-day and constituted a majority of three In the House would stand together for thtt purpose. McKISJOVS STATEMENT. At the headquarters of the opposition to-night Mayor Robert E. McKlsson. of Cleveland, the defeated candidate fot Senator, made the following statement foi the Associated Press: "In tbe Senatorial contest Just dosed, the question at Issue ha been whether the true principles of the Republican party should prevail or whether trusts and should have their wit.

Mr. Hanna succeeded simply because he brought to his aid all the powerful raco-neea of canitallstlc creed, of which he Is elesr renrenentative. Bv reason of the Interests for which Mr. Hanna stood, tbe Republican members of the General As-aemhlv mho refused to enter the caucus felt that they could not support him foi the high office of Inlted States senator, and unanimously selected me to stand a their candidate. The Democrats.

being In tbe minority, realized that It was Impossible for them to elect any can. dldate of their own party. They were therefore ready to support any Republican who would be willing to represent the common citisena of our Commonwealth In preference to selfish monopolies or class interests. "The contest was not between parties te any sense, but between Republican factions one representing plutocracy and tbe other the common people. "Mr.

Hanna haa introduced into ue-publlcan polltlca a policy of corrupt and lavish use of money heretofore unknown to our party, and which has reached an alarming crisis within the last few days. This policy la a serious menace to the success and perpetuity of the party, and. If continued, cannot help but threaten its very existence." JQ1TT BA1XOT. llama Beeelvee Majerlty Vetee avast Ie Declarea Seaator for Loasr aad Shert Terats. Soon after the Senate assembled this morning Senator Burke, of Cleveland, offered a resolution demanding an Investigation into the charges taat $1750 had been offered by alleged agtnts In the interest of Senator Hanna far the vote of Representative Otla.

The absolution provided for a committee of five, consist-1 bag of Senators Burke, RAlnson, Fink. Garrard and Long. Senatot Burke afterward requested to hare his name stricken out and that of Senator Sullvan was substituted. The committee thus consumed consisted of three Demoemta and two Republlcana. A long and bitter discussion followed, led by Senator Bufke, for Immediate consideration, and by Senator Sullivan for deliberation and toll conaldera-tlon at the proper time.

During the discussion It mas charged tlat consideration of thla resolution bad been postponed by a vote of 56 to 32. and that It was a matter that concened the House and not the Senate, but that It had been precipitated In the Senate, where It was thought It might be adoptal by a vote of 19 to 17 and interfere with the election of a Cnlted States Senatjr at the hour fixed for that action. Senator Sullivan raised the point of order that the House having passed upon a similar resolution and defeated It, the Senate had no right to take up the matter. The President refused to entertain the point, and held the Senate had the right to pass upon the resolution. Before the vote upon the resolution could be taken a message was received from the noose of Representatives stating that that body mas ready to vote upon the question of electing a United States Senator.

The President held that further discussion was out of order and the matter was laid over. THE VOTE, THE SENATE. At noon Lieut. Gov. Jones and the Senators arrived at the bar of the House and the hot bribery discussion was shut off.

The two bodies went into Joint convention for the election of a Senator. Lieut. Gov. Jones warned the crowd that order must be preserved or the galleries would be cleared. The Senate Journal of yesterday was read showing nineteen votes for Robert E.

McKlsson and seventeen for Marcus A. Hanna for both terms. The House Journal of yesterday was next read showing the following vote for both the short and long terms: Hanna 50. McKisson 49, A. J.

Warner i. Aquilla Wiley John J. Lents 1. Mr. Cramer was absent.

Lieut. Gov. Junes then announced that McKlsson was the choice of the Senate and Hanna of the House, and there being no concurrent election the two house should proceed Jointly to ballot for Senati. Senator Garfield presented the name of Marcus A- Hanna In an eloquent speech, and others seconded the Senator Burke, the only dissenting Republican Senator, presented the name of Robert E. McKlsson, the Republican mayor of Cleveland.

In a very forcible and Inflammable speech that commanded the closest attention. In ne of his climaxes he said James A. Garfield would have voted for McKlsson if he were alive and a Senator here to-day. Representative Roberts, of Cleveland, seconded the nomination Hanna and Representative Bramley, of Cleveland, that of McKisson. The Democrats presented no name and made no seconding speeches.

The Senator and Representative rose to their feet mhen they cast their respective Totes. The roll of the Senate was called first, and there were no changes from the votes of yesterday 19 for McKisson and 17 for 11 anna, as follows: rFor Hanna-Alexander. Blake Cable.

When the House convened at 10 a. Representative Otis was promptly recognized on a question of privilege. He made a long statement regarding the Boyee bribery charge. He said It waa due the House and himself to have an Investigation before proceeding further In the election of Cnlted State Senator, and offered a resolution accordingly. On a motion to suspend the rule for Immediate consideration of the resolution the vote stood 52 yeaa.

51 nay. On the motion being declared lot there were cheer on the Republican side and In the galleries. The vote mas precisely the aame a all the vote yesterday, and the two ballots for the short and long term for Senator. n.M iw 109 members of the House. The fifty-six Hanna men always voted solidly.

Representative rimer was absent, and is still very sick. The other forty-six Deaioeratle member and the six bolting Republican Representatives voted tnrMhor for an investigation before elect ing a Senator. Representative Stewart. one of the Hanna leader, said there would com a proper time for the fullest Ceatlaaad ea Face Twa. lar with It as a shipmaster.

Speaking of the difficulties of navigation about the passes, be aald: "We have been trying to push ten Inches of mater through a two-Inch pipe long enough." He directed attention to the fact that modern metal vessels were more liable to fouling than those of the older sort. The modern vee-sela required more water, because they bad less buoyancy. He produced a tele gram announcing the grounding of tbe steamer Montezuma at i.rand Bayou Beach, a vessel drawing 25 feet. He thought It that there abould be 35 or 40 feet In the outlet passes. The narrow pass waa a constant menace and any accident might prove disastrously destructive to large business interests.

There should be a system, too, of dredging to straighten the narrow, crooked channels. Facilities for outgoing of vessels should be Increased with more passes. Improvements that had already been made bad In a few years drawn to New Orleana six different lines of railroad. It waa not a matter of supreme interest to foreigners, but of vital concern to our fellow-countrymen that the Improvement asked for should be promoted. "I can but believe." said Capt Miller, "that we do not knock In vain at the door of Congress.

Neglect to provide for emergencies would Invite disasters that would prove a national Capt. Miller answered lucidly and impressively a number of questions relative to the head and the channels of the passes, and remarked that Inside of Southwest Fass there was ample room for a considerable fleet. MR. T. J.

WOODWARD, the ehlp chandler of Xew Orleans, followed Capt. Miller. Mr. Woodward said he bad recently been here before In the crevasse emergency, but he was here now In behalf of a matter In which all parties and business affairs were equally vitally Interested, the matter of getting deeper water. He spoke of a proposition mooted by the government engineers to take possession of South Pass, the government to assume the Eads contract.

As it was there waa not enough water In the South Pass for the requirements of the contract. When he left Xew Orleans he waa Informed that there were 440 days of deficiency work to be added to the term of the Eada contract. He was assured that tbe Eada Interests were willing now to turn the contract over to the government. The Southwest Pass was the original natural outlet. Should tbe government take the contract from the Eada estate it would, of course, require a large appropriation to successfully prosecute the work.

It would require a million dollars to get the 28 or 2t feet required In the South Pass. But the people would deplore that this should be the only outlet to the sea. It waa a serious question whether that pass could ever be made available for the great tonnage of the West. He strongly advocated the government taking tbe Eada contract. The primary was to secure a preliminary survey of Southwest Pasa.

If Congress should undertake the work It would not take a great while to complete it. The deepening of South Pass should be continued at the same time, for the ultimate purpose of a depth of 35 feet, which could not now be had. was reqalred. The Sontb Pass should have the benefit of an appropriation at once, while the opening of. the Southwest Pass should not be delayed.

The South Pass was Imperatively needed for Immediate emergencies, while the Improvement of the Southwest Fas was essential for the accommodation of the growing tonnages of the near future. Chairman Hooker here asked If when the committee bad visited the delta every member had not been convinced that the Southwest Pass should have been adopted as the natural outlet and object of appropriations. Mr. Woodward assented and remarked that while the Eads Jetties bad served a good purpose the day of that system had passed. Whereupon Mr.

Barrett, of Massachusetts, sharply interpolated with a remark that If tbe Ea3s system was a "dead horse" It seemed a preposterous proposition that the government should take hold of It. The member from Massachusetts made manifest his lenorance of the subject, and little attention was paid to him. "Do you mean to say." askeU Mr. Barrett, "that the government should dig out two passes 2rt and 35 feet respectively and keep np both those passes?" Mr. Woodward quietly remarked that be meant nothlug less than that.

EJC-GOV. FEAXCIS, of Missouri. next followed. Gov. Francis left the conversational tone which characterised the remarks of his predecessors and made a masterful speech that was almost fieir in Its eloquence.

He came here, he said, to protest that this was a loeal question. Tbe tariff might be a "local question." but this was not. The issue of deeper water affected every grower of corn, of wheat and of oats In the country. In it mas involved the price of every bushel In the market. The country raised 2.0U0.000.OUO bushels of corn a year; one cent on tbe bushel meant a cent on each bushel of corn, wheat and oats of the country's annual production meant value to the country.

From this point the speaker made a logical and luminous argument to show that the prices of grain were affected by every serious accident to vessels which was dee to neglect of harbor Improvements and the maintenance of the deep water for the accommodation of tonnage. Tbe Governor said that he himself bad excellent reason to be Impressed with this truth. He bought wheat throughout the West, aud his house, mith Its branches at Xew Orleans and elsewhere, shipped It to Europe. The great bulk of It went out of the Mississippi. Ills bouse had shipped since July 1 over bushels, all but 7o00 of wbk-h had gone by the Gulf, ne told of the stranding of the steamer Barbara, which bis firm had chartered to carry Its grain, and cited other instances of mishaps to vessels carrying farm products out of the river iuto tbe Gulf; gave figures showing the penalty in price of insurance, bonds, all of which had a vital relation to the grain market.

Urging liberal arpmprl atlon to forestall disasters, ex-Gov. Francis said: "If these things happen and the producer does not pay for It. It Is not my fault." Referring to the Eads contract and the Jetties. Gov. Francis, although he knew that the committee could not consent to such a thing, nor would be If a member of the committee approve It, he would make this as a proposition which waa substantial: If the deepening of tbe Jetty channels were turned over to a corpratlln we would guarantee the organisation of one with money enough within the twelve months to secure thirty feet In the South aud from thirty -five to forty feet In the Southwest Pass.

"The government cannot do that I know," said the distinguished Mlssourlan. raising bis voice so that It must have been heard far outside of the committee room, but are you going to stand In the way of this great need? No. I believe not. I have too much confidence In the wisdom and in the patriotism of this committee not to go home and say to my PPj: 10U are going uai juu waut. As Gov.

Francis resumed his seat round of hearty applause greeted him Coatiaaed mm Paero hiao. Frightful Calamity Over takes Fort Smith. Tornado Deals Out Death and Destruction.

second day's hearing of tbe dele nation representing the deep water a station at the month of the river before the committee on rivers and harbors developed with still greater force the work ao well Inaugurated yesterday through the talking to the committee, particularly by Messrs. Bryant. Bandera and Miller. There waa a large attendance the committee and a keener Interest evinced In the The gentlemen here representing the Western waterways were first heard when the committee met promptly at 10 o'clock, and the resolution adopted at the Davenport Oa.) convention were read by Mr. Bryson, of the executive committee of that body.

Mr. Bryson waa followed by Capt. Geo. Francis, Davenport, in the aame Inter- CSX. IDC 1 fl 1 KB Wl ixirr in the main devoted to the question of water transportation of grain prodocta of the Went.

The gentlemen evinced in their arguments on this occasion, as they also bare done In private consultation with members of the Southern delegation, that they regarded the Jetty question aa of primary Importance and eupreme Interest, Th most striking festure of the day was the speech of ex -Gov. Francis, late Secretary of tbe Interior, who apoke not only lor St. Louis and the great grain-producing domain of thC West, but for all the interests in the lower Mississippi Valley that are vitally Involved In the maintenance -of deep water at the Mississippi delta. 'He mas the most confident and awes-: aire speaker who has yet appeared before the committee, or perhaps who has ever appeared before the rivers and harbors committee. He knew his subject thoroughly and declaimed his convictions of the gravity of the present situation at the mouth of the river In words and with an ardor that thrilled and could not fall to convince those who heard him.

Ills argument was broad and comprehensive. Its central Idea was that upon which Mr. Banders yesterday so convincingly based bis advocacy of deep water In the Jetty channel, that It was a narrow and plca-juniKh view to take of the question; that It was one merely of selfish local concern. He drove home point after point with business fact after business fact, going to show that the best well being of every farm and farmer In the Mississippi Valley was now tremendously dependent upon deep water with proper harbor facilities In the lower Mississippi and on the Gulf. Every Improvement made in that direction through enlightened action by the committee on rivers and harbors waa a vital factor in the regulation of the price of farm products.

Gov. Francis was heartily applauded in the committee room and frequently congratulated after the close of the hearing for his splendidly effective effort in behalf of "the great cause." DELF.OATTOJf IS HOPEIXU The Jetty bearing was resumed immediately after the conclusion of the presentation made by the Western waterways representatives. The delegation are more than ever encouraged and confident to-night. Even during their presence here engaged In the promotion of the great object for which they came, new evidence bas come to strengthen position and warrant the arguments and claima they bave made before tbe committee with modesty, but with the terse earnestness of business men. ready at a moment's notice to prove their assertions.

What with all that has been said up to date, the receipt of the telegrams during the day telling of the grounding of the Montezuma, with tbe serious consequences likely to follow, tbe delegation now feels that they are srined cap-a pie with all that Is necessary to "convince Congress that the time bas come to act at once. The only question with them of effectiveness or snocess of their work Is in being accorded anything like a fair bearing. That they tope to obtain tomorrow from the Senate committee. There was an Informal consultation at the Arlington Hotel to-night, at which tbe situation was thoroughly and earnestly discussed at a full attendance of all the delegations. It was unhesitatingly agreed that the crisis at the mouth of the Mississippi transcended all other considerations in the matter of advancing the object for which all the gentlemen came here.

That the Jetties must first be looked after was the cheerful consensus of opinion and of all tbe Interests represented. Cart- Dravo. of Pittsburg, said the situation was so serious that in all earnestness be could tell the fellow-members of the different delegations that It "kept him awake at night." He dreaded to think 'of tne disastrous consequences that would be visited upon all trade dependent upon water transportation of the Mississippi Valley which must follow neglect of what was tbe apparent and Imperative duty of this Congress. After considerable discussion It was that Mr. Panders, Capt.

Dravo, Gov. "Francis. Capt. Miller and Mayor Flower should do the presentation of the sanation before the Senate committee on commerce to-morrow. Gov.

Francis has Infused the members of tha delegation with bis own confidence and aggressiveness, and to-nlbt the disposition to ask for aa much aa at least to deepen South Fass and to open and deepen South r.f Pane, so that It shall be in condition te answer the obvious demand of the great growing tonnage Interests el the Mississippi Valley.
