Senator Hanna’s father died in 1862 and he represented That interest in the firm until 1867, when the business was closed lip. He then became a member of the firm of Rhodes & Co., and engaged in the iron and coal busi ness. At the expiration of ten years the title of this firm was changed to M. A.

Davenport's Tribute to Hanna. The Nashville Banner publised last chance in a million to come out vie- j Saturday a cartoon entitled “The Si- tor from the illness Widen laid him ! lent Hour,” and it is a tribute of Ho- low and was slowly but certainly j mer Davenport, the noted caricaturist, sweeping away his strength, it seemed i to Senator Marie Hanna. Impossible to those who had been in I Mr. Davenport expresses great re- intimate touch with his 'magnificent j gret for having drawn the "famous virility to realize that Mark Hannr ? “dollar mark” cartoon, and says that could lose. ' he nn honest man a very grave Time and again oil the very brink of the great beyond, ho rallied to give hope to those who in their hearts knew they had no right to hope; but he had told his doctors he would do every thing in his power to aid their efforts, and it was upon this determination that his friends built their slender con fidence rather than upon any medical skill. It is not Mark Hanna as senator, as great political, as one of the nation’s foremost business men who is mourn ed by those who have been brought In contact with him, it is Mark Hanna, the man. In the heat, of political contest he has been pictured by opposing forces many things ho was not. There was a time when he was held up as little short of an ogre, representing all that is worst in American politics. Long ngo the country at large learned bet ter; but long before that there had some to men at first prejudiced against him the realization that than Senator Hanna there could be found no better representative of all that Is fair and true and honest in public life. He made no pretense at statesman ship as it is viewed by the theorists, but he was a frank, manly man, with courage of his convictions, whose word was never broken, with no sham in him, and himself a hater of shams; a man who inspired confidence and commanded tt. Sketch cf His Life. Marcus Alonzo Hanna was born in New .Lisbon (now Lisbon), Columbi ana county, Ohio, September 24, 1837; removed with his father’s family to Cleveland in 1852, He was educated In the common schools of that city and In the Western Reserve College at Hudson, Ohio. He was engaged as an employee In the wholesale grocery YOUTH DEFENDS MOTHER. injustice. Mr. Davenport was deeply- moved to learn of the serious illness of Senator Hanna, and the cartoon in The Banner was a voluntary expres sion of his sorrow and sympathy. The cartoon represents the sick senator on his couch and beside it kneels the seraphic form of the late President Mcinley, with his head bow ed upon the hand of his stricken friend. At the foot of the bed stands Uncle Sam with one hand over his eyes and bowed in great grief. Upon the floor rest floral tributes from the north, south, east and west. The sentiments entertained by Mr. Davenport were written by himself, and appear under the cartoon as fol lows: “Senator Mark Hanna is the best example of what I have frequently said that no honest man need fear car toons. He lias been viciously and at times brutally cartooned since 1396, and has risen under the lash of the cartoonist until today he is the strong est man in American politics. Sena tor Hanna has grown to be loved by the American people almost as they loved McKinley, and should he pass away in his present illness a nation will mourn his loss.” RUSSIANS HOLD NEUTRAL SHIPS. American Company Makes Complaint and Department Will Investigate. The state department has instructed Ambassador McCormick, at St. Peters burg, to ask the Russian government at St. Petersburg for an explanation ol the compulsory detention in the har bor of Port Arthur of the American steamship Pleiades, which carried a cargo to that place just before the hostilities. The ship is owned by a Boston firm, which made formal com' plaint to the 6tate department. Tragedy Near Fort Valley, Caused by a General Family Quarrel. Frank Davis, a farmer living one and one-half miles from Fort Valley, Ga. was shot and almost instantly killed Sunday night by his son, Soneca, a young man 19 years old. A general family quarrel was the cause of the killing. It is said the de ceased was engaged in whipping his wife and two grown daughters when the son interfered by shooting down his father with a pistol.

Wilkinson county, through its ordi nary, has just notified the prison com mission that It will not take its quota of short term felony convicts for work on the public roads in lieu of public school money from this source. Wil kinson was among those which ap plied, for convicts and was entitled to about ten. Several of the counties which made application have with drawn it and' the number or convict* necessary to support the demand is considerably reduced.

Tucker and sentenced to be hanged. It was claimed that Tucker was murdered by poison as tho result of a conspiracy between Cawthorn and Tucker's wife. The wo ! man, however, was not indicted. Caw thorn was on the verge of the gallows when a stay of execution was secured on a special motion for new trial, ar.d the supreme court now holds that there were such errors in the first trial that- a new trial should be granted. It appears from the evidence that a dose of poison which was fixed for Tucker was taken by another man who died. Another dose was fixed for Tucker and this killed him. Evidence as to the first crime was admitted in the trial on tho charge of murder of Tucker. The supreme court holds this wa3 improper and this seems to have been the main ground on which the new trial was granted. Judges Fish and Candler dissented. • * • Young Kline Unworthy Son. The will of the late Tlieo D. Kline, general manager of the Central rail road, was offered for probate a few days ago in Savannah, and upon ap plication of Charles D.

The rest of tho es tate is left in trust for four of the chil dren of the testator, William Fair, Charles David, Ida Eugenia and Mary. One clause of the will reads: “My son, Theodore Augustus, hav ing proven himself an unworthy son by a willful silence for years when absent in parts unknown to me, I am constrained to-treat him differently from my other children. I, therefore direct my executors to hold out of niv estate $600 for a period of five years, during which time it will be paid at his demand. Otherwise it shall go to my other children." • • • Mrs. Wood Goes to Pen. The supreme court has affirmed the decision of the superior court in the case of Mrs. W. J. Wood, who was convicted in Atlanta of shooting her husband. She was tried, convictel and sentenced to two years on the mllledgeville farm for assault with in tent to murder. Mrs. Wood was released on bond af ter her conviction, to await the su pirme court’s decision. Last fall Mrs. Wood went to her husband's boarding house on Mariet ta street, white he was at breakfast, and shot at him several times. One of the shots took effect, and he lay at the Grady hospital two weeks. It was thought at first that he could not ro- cover. Jealousy is said to have been the cause of the shooting. Wood had sep arated from h!e w fe. and he claimed that her mind was unbalanced. Some months before she shot him she at tempted to shoot a woman In a resi dence on Peachtree street.

JAPANESE SUBJECTS HELD Serious Breach cf Amenities cf War Charged to Russians—Text cf Ssc- retary Hay’s Note Seeking Integrity cf China A Washington special says: Japan wiil appeal to the United States to prevail on the Russian government to release the one hundred Japanese subjects reported detained at Port Ar thur. Mr. Takahira. t-.lie Japanese minister, it is expected, will present the appeal to Secretary Ha •- at once. In a cablegram from Tokio Sunday the minister was informed that ac cording to news brought from Che Foo by a British steamer from Port Ar thur, one hundred Japanese refugees had been taken from the steamer by the Russian authorities just befor» the vessel sailed, in spite ot the pro tests of the Japanese. Having agreed to look out for Jap anese citizens in Russian territory during the war, this government will instruct Mr. McCormick, the Ameri can ambassador at St. Petersburg, tc inquire of the Russian government on the subject as to Lae Japanese in question. The host naval opinion in Washing ton is to the effect that the detention of these Japanese at Tort Arthur is a strategical necessity- to prevent tha Japanese gaining information as to the fortifications, troops, etc. An offi cial said: "During the siege of Paris, in the Franco-Prussian war, Representative Hitt, who was then in charge of the American legation there, looked af ter the large number of Germans who were detained at Paris by the French government.” Although Russia’s answer to Secre tary Hay's note, asking her to respect the neutrality of China and localize hostilities as much as possible, has not yet been received, the state de partment knows indirectly from Ixmdon and Paris that Russia will re ply favorably. It then will remain for the powers to fix the scope of their note and to draft a more definite proposition for acceptance by the two countries. Satisfaction is expressed in admin istration circles that Great Britain, as well as Russia, has decided to waive objections to the note. Text of Secretary Hay's Note. Tho state department issued this statement Saturday: After some preliminary exchange of views between this government aud the government of other powers inter ested in tho Chinese matters, the de partment on the 10th of February sent tho following instructions to the American representatives in St. Pe tersburg, Tokio and Pekin: “You will express to the minister for foreign affairs the earnest desire of the government cf tne United States that in the course of military operations which have begun between Russia and Japan, the neutrality of China and in all practicable ways her administrative entity shall be respect ed by both parties and that the area of hostilities shall be localized and limited as much as possible so that undue excitement and disturbance of the Chinese people may be prevented and the least possible loss to the com merce and intercourse of the world will be occasioned.
