Havana, Jan. 26.—The battle
ship Maine arrived here at 11
o’clock yesterday.
Consul General Lee immediate
ly wired the news to Washington.
The entrance of Main into Ra
vanna was marked by a most
impressive ceremony, prescribed
by the the United States nava
regulations .nd in accordance
with the international code ol
courtesy, involving the explosion
of 42 blank car ridges in sa ute to
the colors of Spain and the
United S ati s.
After steaming past frowning
Moiro Castle, where the channel
is narrow, the American battle
ship with the Spanish royal ensign
at the foremost top fired a re
sounding salute of 21 guns just
before she reach* d her anchorage
in the inner harbour. Then the
Maine opened fire with her big
saluting guns about a mile outside
of Moiro Custle, as she approched
the harbour.
Ihe deafening conuonade was
returned by a similar discharge ol
21 big guns from the battery of
Morro, the noise attracting nearly
the tntire population cf Hayann

Then a« 30011 as the Maine
swung surely at anchor Captain
Sigsbee and his aids went ashore
in a small boat and paid the cus

ROME GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 26 1898.
M COMfIS WINS.
SUCCEEDS GORMAN AS MARY
LAND SENATOR.
RESULT LONG IN DOUBT
Dem* crat had Full Party Vote
on 1 art Ballot.
Annapolis, Md, Jan. 26, —Judge
Lewis E. McComas was yesterday
elected Uniied States senator to
succe-d KrthurP. Gorman. lhe
ballot upon which he was elected,
the first of the day, ’be eighth
since the eoi test began, resulted
in bis gettii g 63 vot* s to 4 for
Alexander Sha>w, of Laltimore,
the only other republican who
remained in the race.
Senator Gorman got 47 votes,
the full democratic strength in
both houses.
The break to McComas came as
the result cf the night’s caucus, at
which fifty thee members were
in the attendance, and at which
Judge McCommas was practically
unanimously Dominated.
Ten republican delegates from
Baltimore city and Senator Wes
cott, of Kent county, however
refused to take any part in the
caucus or to consider themse'ves
bound by it, and up to the hour
of noon, when the ballot was re
sumed, no one not in their coun
sels knew' how they meant to vote,
but it was centrally thought they
would stick to Shaw to the end,
thereby creating a deadlock .
It was therefore with the most
intense interest that the balloting
was watched, and weer. the name
of Senator Wescott was reached
and he, after a brief speech,
changed his vote from Shaw to
McCommas, everyone knew the
end was near and the cheering was
tremendous,
Speaker Shaefer was th- next of
the recaltricants to come into
line. Then one by ore five of his
associates in the “bolt” against
the rule of the majority followed
his example Ex-Congressman
Findlay’s only remaining support
er did likewise, and the votes
stood 62 for McCommas to 4 for
Shaw.
Then delegate Jacobi changed
his vote, but four ethers, Messrs
Quast, Baldwin, Short and Dela
cour, all of Baltimore city, stuck
to the Baltimore city candidate
to the last, and w-nt down with
flying colon.

McMinn 37 Turley 27 Taylor 21,
The Turley and Taylor men voted

The night)? attempt to create a
stampede to Taylor was made by
representative Thompson, who
some months ago married Colonel
Nellie Ely.
He has been voting for McMillin
but tonight attempted to break
the dead lock by leaving ihe lead
ing for th’ hindmost candidate.
The democratic members Monday
night decided that they wonid be
present and not voting yesterday
except three members of each
branch, who were to vote for the
three democratic candidates. It
was feared, however, that as this
plan would result in Sanford re
ceiving a majority of the votes
cast in each branch, a contest
might follow, so a new plan was
suggested and carried out.
The democratic members of the
house as their name were called
voted for the dem icratic members
proceeding in the roll call, except
those who placed the three demo
cratic candidates in nomination
who of course, voted their nomi
neess.
Ihe democratic senators, how
ever. were too virtuous to vote for
