In the war between Japan and Rus sia. reports of victories and defeats reach this country across 15,000 miles of the ocean's bed The tiny electric impetus putin motion by the key of the operator in far Nagasaki instantly plunges under the eastern sea and comes to land in China, near Shanghai, 4(6 miles away. Then that little throb works southward round the China coast to Hongkong, 945 miles. At Hongkong (British) it dives under the China sea to Saigon, in Anam (French), 951 miles; from Saigon it crosses the bed of the sea to Singapore (British), 626 miles. Or it might go by way of Labuan, Borneo (British), 1,971 miles. Through the Malacca strait to Tenang (398 miles), and then a great plunge westward through the wild Nicobars and under the tropic Bengal eea (1,389 miles), to Madras. At Madras it takes to the land until it comes to Bombay. Never resting the brave lit tle spark takes to the water again, traverses the broad Arabian sea to Aden (1,850 miles), threads its way up the scorching Red sea, flying ever westward, to Alexandria (1,534 miles). And from Alexandria it travels deep under the balmy Mediterranean to Malta, out to Lisbon, and so onto London (3,205 miles), and thence across the Atlantic. Every word forced so laboriously through these 15,000 miles of solid wire costs 65 cents. This is the newly reduced rate for press messages at which many thousands of words are being sent. For private messages the rate is three times larger. It is difficult to give any very definite idea of what the war will cos*, the news papers for telegraphy. Probably few persons have any idea of the vast sums which would be swallowed up in a sin gle day's news provided by the New York and Chicago newspapers on the occasion of, say, a great naval battle. For two short messages from Japan, consisting of about 100 and 150 words, respectively, the bare telegraphic cost approaches $l5O, although some of the "the's" and "and's" in such cable grams as they appear in the newspa pers would not be telegraphed. In the event of a big battle, it may safely be assumed that the big American papers pay thousands of dollars in cable tolls alone. If the war is to be a hard fought one, long drawn out, and with several severe engagements, that sum may easily be multiplied by 20. Colonization's Great Cost. The price of colonization in Africa is a heavy one, both in life and treasure. Every European power which has Afri can possessions pays it. The history of British interests in the great conti nent is bloody practically from the be ginning, and it is still beiug written red in Somaliland; France has had her troubles in Algeria, and is constantly finding fresh ones to the south and along the Morocco frontier; one of the most dreadful episodes in Italian history was worked out in Abyssinia a few years ago; Portugal has had many conflicts with the natives; Belgium has the dis grace of the Congo atrocities, and now comes Germany with an uprising of blacks that threatens to overshadow any thing of the kind that has occurred in Africa. Surely that vast territory was aptly named the Dark Continent. In Mexico they have a way of doing things to pickpockets that certainly is discouraging to the profession. In stead of hauling them up before a jus tice and fining them "five dollars and costs" when they probably stole $25, as they do in Chicago, tlie Mexicans sen tence them to serve in the army. Pick pockets are not likely to do a rushing business in the army, for if anybody ever heard of a Mexican soldier hav ing enough money to be worth .steal ing he never told of it. An old merchant says that circulars and booklets can reach but a limited number of people, and that the most widely circulated magazines are not read by a considerable portion of the public. The newspapers, however, are read by virtually everybody, and as "you can never tell who will prove a profitable customer," the chances are overwhelming that the newspapers will reach him where other agencies will not. SENATOR M. A. HANNA SUCCUMBS TO THE GRIM REAPER All the Members of the Senator's Family, with the Exception of Mrs, Hanna, and Mr, and Mrs. fian Hanna, Were in the Room When Death Came. Simple but Impressive Ceremonies Are Held in the Hall of tlie Senate—President Roosevelt, His Cabinet, Members of the Senate and House of Representatives, Supreme Court and Other Notables Were Present. Washington, Feb. 16. —Senator Marcus Alonzo Ilanna died at 6:40 o'clock Monday evening at the family apartments in the Arlington hotel, af ter on illness extending over nearly two months, tilled with apparent re coveries, followed by relapses and ■finally drifting into typhoid fever, which in his weakened condition he WP-S unable to withstand. When the eiiti came all the members of the sen ator's family were in the room except Mrs. Ilann if, the senator's wife, and Mr. ami Mrs. Dan llanna. Mrs. Hanna had left the room only u few min utes before. The last sinking spell began at ex actly G: .'SO o'clock. I)rs. Carter and Osier were then in attendance. They did not conceal the fact that life was about to end and all members of the family were sent for. Mrs. McCor mick, one of the senator's daughters, and Miss Phelps were present when the end came. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Hanna were the first to arrive and they withdrew immediately to the chamber of the senator's wife to summon her to the bedside. It was while they were absent the senator breathed his last. MARCUS ALONZO HANNA. Tn tlio meantime Mr. McCorinick, Mr. and Mrs. Parsons and 11. M. Han na had entered the room. Mr. Dover stood in the door. There were no distressing incidents attending 1 the last moments. It was a sinking spell which terminated in ten minutes. Just after his eyes closed in death Mrs. Ilanna came into the room. We are indebted to the Cleveland World for the following biographical sketch of Senator Ilanna: Hon. Marcus Alonzo Ilanna was born September 24, 1837, at Lisbon, Columbiana county, Ohio. Ills mother came from a family of .staunch, old Scotch Presbyterians of Vermont. His father's family had been Vir ginia Quakers for about a hundred years back. Leonard Ilanna, the father was a practicing physician in Lisbon, but finding it was not lucrative enough to support his family of eight, he moved to Cleveland in 1552, and or ganized the grocery firm of Ilanna, Garretson & Co. Marcus had attended the schools at Li ;bon and completed bis public school education in Cleveland. He then started in at Western Reserve University, but after a year at that institution went to work as a clerk In his father's store. In isfia the elder Ilanna died, and the management of the store de volved upon Mark. His close atten tion to business in the five years he had worked as a clerk stood him in good stead now, and he conducted the business very successfully until the firm dissolved in 1867. At the age of 30 he married Miss Rhodes, daughter of Daniel P. Rhodes, and went into business with his father-in-law, of the firm of Rhodes & Co., dealers in coal, iron ore and pig iron. In 1577. Mark became senior part ner of this firm and changed the name to M. A. Ilanna & Co. By this time he had learned the business thoroughly and bad pur chased mines until his firm was known all over the country. He treated his workmen like equals ami was therefore well-liked by them, lie was generally successful in strikes. I'p to this time he had dabbled a little in politics and had been sent to the republican national convention in ISS4, pledged to nominate John Sher man. The first step in active politics was to orgarize the Cleveland Business Men's Starching club. He got the business men oft he city interested in politics, made them attend their ward caucuses, and made the club a CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1904. power. In ISSB. Hanna was again sent to the republican national con vention as district delegate, and worked for John Sherman. In the days when Hanna had been devoting his time to the coal and iron business there was a strike in one of his western Ohio mines, and some of tlie discontented miners burned sev- I eral of Ihe mine shafts. Hanna went | to the district to prosecute them, and lost bis case. The lawyer for the miners was William McKinley, and although defeated by him, Hanna struck up a warm friendship for Mc- Kinley. He began McKinley's preliminary presidential campaign in 1894 and 1895. In IS'JO he was chosen as chair man of the national committee, and, after the hard tight of that year Mc- Kinley was elected president. When John Sherman left the United States senate in 1897 to be come secretary of state. Gov. Busb- I nell appointed Hanna to iill out Sher- I man's term in the senate. In 1 s!IS lie was elected to the United States senate by the Ohio legislature I and was recently re-elected for an- I other term. In 1900 lie was again chosen ns chairman of the national committee, and again won the tight for McKin ley. During- Senator Hanna's political career he has also been successful in his business ventures. He was a di rector in the Globe Shipbuilding Co., and president until the recent con solidation of the Cleveland City Kail way Co. Washington, Feb. IS.—ln the pres ence of the grief stricken family, of many friends whose sorrow was scarcely less pronounced, of the sen ate and house of representatives, of dignitaries of the other branches of government and of the chief official representatives of most of the for eign powers, the funeral of the late Senator Hanna occurred Wednesday in the senate chamber. In the front rank of the assem blage gathered about the bier of the departed statesman sat the presi dent. He was flanked by the mem bers of his cabinet. Nearby were the chief justice anil the associate jus tices of the supreme court of the United States, garbed in their black robes of office. The religious ceremony was placed in the hands of Dr. Edward Everett Hale, chaplain of the senate. The ceremony began shortly after 12 o'clock, but the gallery doors were thrown open long before that hour, and by 11 o'clock fully half the gal lery seats were occupied. The casket was borne into the chamber by a squad of capitol police, and was fol lowed bv the official committee with Senator Koraker and Gen. Grosvenor at its head. Slowly the little proces sion moved down the main aisle of the chamber and the casket was placed upon the catafalque which was to hold it. President Pro Tern Frye then ad dressed the senate.saying: "Senators: You have solemnly and lovingly dedi cated this day to an observance of a proper funeral ceremony over Mar cus A. Hanna, late a distinguished member of this body, and all business will be suspended to that end. We will unite in prayer with the chap lain of the national house of repre sentatives." Chaplain Couden then offered his invocation. ii)iinia*N ISodv Rik Ii to f'levclnml. Cleveland, Feb. 10.—No tnore touching tribute has been paid to the memory of Senator Manila than that- accorded the funeral cortege as it moved yesterday from the station to the chamber of commerce. For more than two miles along Euclid avenue, on either side, mourning citi zens stood in the biting cold with uncovered heads, to show their re spect for a fellow-townsman. At the head was a battalion of mounted police in command of Chief Kohler. Then followed the guard of honor, Troop A, mounted. The fu neral car was immediately in the rear. This was closed. It was ju;t 12 o'clock Thursday noon when the casket containing Senator Manila's body was carried into the chamber auditorium by his old friends, (iov. Ilerriek, Samuel Mather, W. 15. Sanders, J. li. Zerbe, Andrew Squire, C. A. Grasselli, A. li. llough and \V. J. McKinnie. From tiie entrance of the chamber building, through the lobby and to the exits in the rear stood a double file of soldiers, the engineers, O. .V. li. Their blue coats, with bright red capes, added a touch of color to the somber scene. As the coffin was car ried slowly down the aisle the en gineers stood at "present arms." Slowly the pallbearers bore the cas ket to its resting place on the bier, which stood in the middle of the auditorium. This bier was the one used at Canton at the time of Presi dent, McKinley's funeral, and the flag that draped it then was used again Thursday. ISehind the pallbearers walked Secretary Tod Galloway, the governor's staff and (Jen. Mylett, re tired, I'. S. A. Then came the direc tors of the chamber of commerce, then a delegation from tne Builders' exchange, and in the rear a delega tion from the Tippecanoe club and a committee representing the Cuya hoga legislative delegation. After the casket had been placed beneath the great canopy of black that hung over the bier the lid was removed and an opportunity given for the close friends of the senator who had borne his body to take a final look at his face. After the pallbearers had viewed ♦ lie remains they were followed bv the others who had entered with the casket. The doors'of the auditorium had meanwhile been closed in order that the public might be excluded un til the floral pieces, a carload of which was brought from Washing ton, might be arranged. This took some lime and it was almost 1 o'clock when the doors were thrown open to the immense crowd that had been waiting outside in the cold. With the snow drifting about their feet and the icy wind blowing into their faces, thousands upon thou sands of Clevelanders stood for hours Thursday afternoon waiting for a chance to pass into the auditorium of the chamber of commerce. Seventy tive policemen soon had the crowd re duced to double ranks. Two abreast they passed into the cham ber. The first services to be held in Cleveland over the remains of Sena tor llanna were those conducted by the members of .Memorial post, G. A. li., Thursday evening. At 9:30 the chamber of commerce auditorium was cleared of the general public and only members of the post admitted. Senator IIUIIIIII'M Funeral. Cleveland, Feb. 20. —At noon Friday the casket containing the body of Senator llanna was lifted from the bier on which it had stood for 24 hours, while Cleveland citizens by the tens of thousands had passed by for a last, sight of the dead, and was borne to the hearse. For five hours Friday morning, from (i to 11. the public was given its last, opportunity to see the face of Senator llanna. The funeral services were held in St. Paul's Episcopal church, Euclid and Case avenues, beginning at 1 p. m. It was past the noon hour when the pallbearers carried the casket through the doors of the chamber of commerce to the street. Immedi ately the procession formed in line for the journey to the church. At the head rode Chief Kohler with a squad of mounted police. Next rode three platoons of Troop A, on black horses with swords at carry. The troop preceded the hearse, which was followed by 100 carriages carrying the official guests. The pro cession reached the church at 12:55. The pallbearers took their seats as soon as they had deposited the cas ket. in the nave. (iov. Ilerriek and his staff filed in and were seated. The senators and congressmen com posing the congressional delegation took the seats reserved for them. Secretaries of the cabinet. Gov. Dur bin, of Indiana, and his staff, mem bers of the state senate and house, representatives of the National Civic Federation, Loyal Legion of Honor, Sons of the American Revolution and other organizations followed. After a pause of a few minutes the services began, conducted by the clergymen, who had met the body at the church door. St. Paul's choir chanted the psalms beginning, "Lord, let. me know the number of my days, that 1 will be certified how long 1 live," and "Lord, Thou hast been our refuge from one generation to an other." President Pierce of Kenyon college, read the lesson from 1 Corin thians. beginning with ttie 20th verse. "Lead. Kindly Light," a favorite hymn of the dead man.was suntr by the choir. I!t. I{ev. W. A. Leonard, bishop of the diocese of Ohio, deliv ered ati address eulogizing tlie sena tor's life. The anthem. "Lord. Let Me Know Thy Name," and a benediction pro nounced by the bishop concluded the service. The pallbearers again took up the casket, and as tlicy bore it from the church, followed by the mourners, the choir sang the reces sional, "Sow the Laborer's Work is O'er." Hy request, the congregation kept its seats while the body was being carried out and the members of the family were leaving the church and taking their places in their carriages. Long before the church was empty, however, the body of Senator Hanna was on its way to its temporary rest ing place in a crypt, in Wade memor ial chapel at Lake View cemetery. RESTRICT OUTPUT. Publishers l'p in Anns Against tin* Paper Trusts. If I lie Tnrlfl'oii Wood Pulp Were A liol- Ished, It IN Claimed, tlic Trusts Would lit- Forced to .titer I Their Method* Will light Combine New York, Feb. 19. —An important resolution, touching on the trust question, was adopted Thursday by the American Newspaper Publishers' association, in convention here. The resolution follows: "liesolved. That the American Newspaper Publishers' association request the president of the United States and the attorney general to institute a suit against any of the three paper combinations to test the legality of their existence and whether they do not stifle com petition." During the discussion preceding the adoption of the resolution Don Seitz and John Norris, business man agers of the New York World and Times, respectively, attacked the methods of the International Paper Co. On behalf of the World Mr. Seitz offered SIO,OOO toward a fund to carry on a national agitation for the •emoval of the duty on wood pulp for paper making, claiming that this step was necessary for the welfare of the newspaper industry. Mr. Seitz said that the paper situa tion in the United States is steadily growing worse, the drouth of the last three or four months emphasiz ing the predicament of the newspa per industry through the operations of the International Paper Co. The company, he said, controlling every factor of the paper-making industry, had, instead of increasing its facili ties and accumulating a reserve stock for emergencies, deliberately set out to restrict the output of printing pa per in order to secure complete domi nation of the market. During the five years of its exist ence, he said, it had not putin a sin gle new machine, had reduced its output of news paper at least 300 tons per day and had perfected arrange ments with independent mills to maintain prices. Overcapitalized to begin with, he said, it was impover ishing itself in purchasing wood lands at high prices to shut out com petition and to enrich insiders, the whole to the ultimate burden of the newspapers, which could not well in crease the price of their papers or advertising. Mr. Morris, of the Times, declared that newspapers are today threaten ed with a paper famine, many of the papers being on a "hand to mouth" basis, and that the manufacturers had deliberately shut down on pro duction. Mentioning the various combina tions in the pa per industry, he de clared that these methods suggested the remedy and he urged the forma tion of a pool of newspaper publish ers to offer inducements to capital ists to establish independent mills outside the trust and ensure reason able prices for paper. At the afternoon session the com mittee to which the subject had been referred reported in favor of the ac cumulation of a fund of SIOO,OOO to promote an agitation "for release from the oppression of the paper combination," and this report was unanimously adopted by the associa tion. KILLED IN HIS OFFICE. Allroolilyn ItusiiicNs Man I * Murdered by a linn Irom Illinois. New York, Feb. 11».—George li. Jen nings, president of the Jennings Ad justable Shade Co.. was shot and- kill ed Thursday in his office in Brook lyn by Frank McXaniara, superin tendent of one of the departments of the Elgin Watch Co.'s factory at El gin, 111. According to two of Jen nings' clerks, who were in the office, Jennings and McXaniara were en gaged in a heated dispute, the sub ject of which is unknown, when Mc- Xaniara thrust a revolver against Jennings' sid». and tired, the bullet passing through his heart and death ensuing instantly. McNamara threw away his revolver and ran out into the street, pursued by the two clerks who captured him and turned him over to the police. McXaniara refused to say why ho shot Jennings. He came here a week ago from Hlgin, where, it is said, he has a wife and eight children. BOGUS TENSPOTS. Brooklyn, N. V., IN Flooded with Counterfeit Money that Fools Krcn the ICxpertN. Xew York, Feb. 19.—The experts at the United States sub-treasury in this city have discovered that Brook lyn is being flooded with an extraor dinary good counterfeit of the "Buf falo" ten-dollar bill. About 15 of these bills have been turned in by banks in the last fortnight, and near ly every bill came out of Hrooklyn. The counterfeit bills are declared by the experts at the,sub-treasury to be the best ever seen there. The en graving of the bills is so good as to enable them to defy detection evell ith a glass, and the counterfeiters ave discovered a way to imitate the government paper to perfection. It is only by the "feel" of the bills that the specimens have been discov ered so far. The notes are so like the real ones that the tellers at the banks have been completely deceived by them. Statehood (or Oklahoma. Washington, Feb. 19.- —As the re sult of the territorial hearings for statehood, the prediction is made from reliable sources that a bill will be reported in the near future from the house committee on territories joining Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory into a single state under the name of Oklahoma. This state will not be admitted, however, until after the allotment of lands by the Dawes commission has been completed and the school land question has been settled. This will take two years. The state when admitted will have a pop ulation of about 800,000. Jo»t Willi: Mr. Tucker—l think I shall give up my business, my dear. I might as well have some gtx)d out of ray money.
