CHANGED FOR SAKE OF HARMONY.
Two lln I lota Only Were Required to Effect
Beeult—Short Sketch of file
New Senator.
A Tallahassee special says: Tues¬
day’s preliminary ballot in the Florida
senate and the house developed the
fact that Taliaferro bad a strong load.
The result of the first ballot was as
follows: Taliaferro 40, Pasco 39, Call
8, scattering 5, absentees 2.
Taliaferro bad a mujority in the
senate, but as a matter of course he
fell short of a majority in the house.
Taliaferro Wins.
It took just one short ballot Wed¬
nesday to settle the contest.
On that ballot James P. Taliaferro,
of Jacksonville, was elected to succeed
Hainucl Pasco, who has had twelve
years of service in the senate, Talia¬
ferro getting several more than tho
requisite majority of the joint assem¬
bly. Tho contest ended as it began,
with the utmost good feeling prevail¬
ing, and everybody in Florida seems
glad that the fight is over.
The final vote resulted as follows:
Taliaferro . s.
Pasco ..... ~

Paired..... o
Late Tuesday night a deal was con¬
summated by which tho west Florida
and i’ainpa kickers were brought into
line for Taliaferro.
Parly in the day il became apparent
that 'Tuesday night's prediction of
Taliaferro’s victory were to be soon re¬
alized.
The Fusco men were game to the
last, but when it came to betting they
would only place their money against
nomination on the first ballot. They
soon abandoned even this position.
They saw tho inevitable and bad noth¬
ing left but hope.
The ball of the bouse was crowded
long beforo noon. Down tho broad
©enter aisle chairs were placed for the
accommodation of the senate and of
the lady spectators, of whom there
were a large number, while the men
spectators ranged themselves along
the side walls.
The steering committee had decided
that there was to be no oratory, and
the result was that within twenty-five
minutes after tho joint assembly was
called to order, a senator hud been
chosen.
Only those on the inside knew what
was coining until O’Brien’s name was
called and he arose to explain his vote.
He said he had east his vote for Pasco
in Tuesday’s ballot because of appre¬
ciation for the senator's services, but
he felt that the state' should be saved
from the possil ility of a deadlock, and
that the best way to this was to vote
for Taliaferro. This he did and the
Taliaferro people sent up a mighty
yell. This was repeated us the roll
proceeded and man after man of the
doubtful ones lined up in tbe same way.
W hen the list was nut tip by the
clerks it was seen that Taliaferro
fifty-four votes. There were three
absentees so forty-nine was a majority
of the vote oast. After that there
were several changes, which ran Tat-
iaforro’s total to fifty-nine.
Short Sketch of tho Victor.
fonator Taliaferro is a man who will
make bis impress upon Washington,
Just as he has been a splendid and
successful business man. so will he
prove splendid and successful us a
senator. He is a native of Virginia, a
member of that branch of the Talia-
ferro family that comes from Orange
Courthouse. As a boy he was in the
coufederate army.
He removed to Florida almost inline-
diatelv after tbe war and has been
identified with tbe state’s material
progress ever since. Senator Talia-
ferro is fifty-one years of age, but
looks younger. He is a man of strong
personality, who possesses to a high
deirree the facility (> f mnkiinr ' Mol) stromr
and lasting friendship. tie to
him . The people of Florida feel an-
prune confidence in him ami believe
he will prove one of tho ablest seua-
tors the state has ever had.

FLORIDA LEGISLATURE BALLO’ ^
FIVE CANDIDATES IN THE CONTEST
SftpHrate Vote Taken In Knch Hon*©, But
No Definite Declxion as to Choice
Was Beached.
A Tallahassee special says: Tues-
day’s preliminary ballot in the Florida
senate and the house developed the
fact that Taliaferro had a strong lead.
The result of the first ballot was as
follows: Taliaferro 4G, Pasco 39, Call
8, scattering 5, absentees 2.
Taliaferro bad a majority in the
foliate, but as a matter of course be
fell short of a majority in the house.
Some of his supporters fondly hoped
that he would carry both houses and
that the contest would be settled on
first ballot, but those closest to the
Jacksonville man knew that there
would be enough scattering votes to
prevent an election the first day.
They had not counted on it at any
tirae. They regarded Tuesday’s bal-
lot of value chiefly in lining up the
members of the legislature and iu de-
veloping tho weak places.
While Senator Pasco himself has
been very conservative in bis claims,
some of his supporters felt confident
that he would lead on the first ballot.
There is no doubt that a good many
members would like to seo a deadlock,
On the other hand it is claimed there
ere enough men voting for Senator
Pasco who are opposed to a deadlock
to vote for Taliaferro simply to pre-
vent^sucb a state of affairs. They
have been boasting so loudly that this
present contest is a credit to the state
as compared with others that have
gono before that they are interested iti
having their boast made good and
having Florida select one senator
without all the bitterness and strife
that has disrupted the democratic
party of the state in the past.
Of the five scattering votes, Tues¬
day, two went for Frank Clark, two
were cast blank and one went for
Sparkman.
GRIGGS VISITS ATLANTA.
United States Attorney General Inspects

At Atlanta dispatch says: Attorney
General John W. Griggs,accompanied
by Hon. L. F. Livingston, Major
Frank L. Strong, one of the officials
of the department of justice; Private
Secretary C. O. Cooper, Architect
Eames, of St. Louis, andW. S.Brown,
agent of the Southern road in Wash¬
ington, arrived iu that city Tuesday
in a special ear over the Southern
railway for the purpose of inspecting
sites in and around Atlanta for the
U 0 W fedet.tl plisoil.
The party spent almost the entire
d&y visiting various localities, and the
general opinion seems to be that a de-
cisiou lia * bep » reached. Every indi-
ca J lon P oi,lts to tbe fact tliat the Slte
offered by the Central lailroad near
Fort McPherson will be selected by
^ r - Griggs. He is very much pleased
with this location, but his definite de-
cisiou, however, will not be announced
until about a week after his return to
Washington. j
SB AFTER SIDES WITH LAWTON.
-
Says He Does Not Know General Otis and
Gives Him Cold Shoulder.
Maj. General Shafter passed through
Chicago Tuesday eu route to his broth-
er's home in Syracuse, Ill, He was
much improved in health. Discussiug
the Philippine wrr, he said: •
“If General Lawton states that one j
hundred thousand arc needed in the ,
Philippines hostilities and in order briug to effectually tho natives end to j
terms, I should say that undoubted
an army of snoh proportions is requir-
ed. We of the army have supreme judg-!
confidence in General Lawton’s
meut, and it is his practice to under- ,
estimate rather than to exaggerate I
when passing upon existing cornli-
tious. ! i
“I don’t know Otis- never saw him,” !
the general added. “I think Lawton
bad a right to criticise tho tactics of
the commanding general if he believed
them unwise.”
LEE’S TRIBUTE TO SOLDIERS.
Commander Iituri Ills Rast General Or¬
der In the Nature of a Valedictory.
A dispatch from Havana says: The
last general order issued by Major,
General Fitzhugh Lee to his com¬
mand, the Seventh army corps, is, in
part, as follows:
“An order has been received which
moves the last regiment of theSeveuth,
army corps across the sea, to he mus-j
tered out of the service of the United
States and the ranks of its organiza¬
tion wiLl be forever broken. The
record made by the officers and men,
however, will be forever preserved on
the pages of the military history in
which their country will inscribe their
deeds.
“No troops have won a greater rep¬
utation for discipline, drill, manly)
discharge of duty, soldierly conduct
and cheerful obedience to all orders.
“The president’s assurance that had
the war with Spain contined the
Seventh army corps would have been
selected to lead the assault on Havana
lines proves that that corps possessed
the confidence of the commandcv-iu-
ehief of the army and navy, a confi¬
dence shared by his fellow country¬
men.
“It is gratifying, in reviewing the
careers of the corps to remember the
harmony which has existed among the
40,000 soldiers who answered the roll
call at Tampa, Jacksonville, Savan-
nah and in Cuba, whether it were the
volunteers who afterward, at various
times, broke ranks and resumed the
duties of citizenship, or the regulars,
whose standards, still flying, are now
the advance sentinels of American
progress and civilization,
“The soldiers of the north and
south took the sunshino and storm of
camp together and marched side by
side under one flag, in one cause and
for one country.”

He Didn’t Forget It.
A young married lady one morning
gave her husband a sealed letter,
which he was to read when he got to
his office. He did so, and the letter
ran as follows:
“I am obliged to tell you something
that may give you pain, but there ia
no help for it. You shall know every¬
thing, whatever be the consequences.
For the last week I have felt that it
must come to this, but I Lave waited
until the last extremity, and can re¬
main quiet no longer. Do not over¬
whelm me with bitter reproach, for
you will have to put up with your share
of the trouble as well as myself.”
Cold perspiration stood in thick
drops on the brow of the husband,
who was prepared for the worst.
Trembling he read on:
“Our coal is all gone. Please order
a ton to be sent this afternoon. I
thought you might forget it for the
tenth time, and therefore wrote you
this letter.”
But he didn’t forget it this time—
