Bostox, Jan. 18.—At the convention of the two branches of the Massachusetts legislature today there was no vote, as the majority of both branches was clear for Mr. Lodge. President Pinkerton of the senate took the chair, the jonrnals of both houses were read | and the election of Mr. Lodge was then formally | announced. ‘This is the final verification of a prediction which Tur Stax was first among the papers of the country to make in positive form. ‘On October 6, the morning after the Boston legislative caucuses, THE Stan's ‘ial from | Boston opened with these words: ‘Henry Cabot | Lodge will be the next Senator from Massachu- | setts in piace of Senator Dawes.” There was np unusual stir today. The battle of the Lodge campaign begun in the state con- vention ahd in the legislative primaries was carried to a suecessful issue in the republican caucus two weeks ago. Sinco that date there has been no other republican candidate in the field. At the vote which was taken by the senate aud the house separately yesterday after- Mr. Lodge had magnificent support. There were bnt five republicans absent, and Mr. Lodge received 190 votes—-161 votes in the house and 29 votes in the senate. No republ can voted for any other man. Mr. Crapo's ad- herents proved themselves the best of the party men. No one sulked. | THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. | Mr. Lodge's democratic opponent was Gen. | Patrick A. Collins of Boston.

New York, Jan. 18.—Opinion on the street today was generally to the effect that the re- action had reached its limit and there was again a disposition to buy for the “long” account and considerable covering of ‘‘shorts” put on the late high prices this morning. London houses were buyers, especially of those stocks which were sold most freely yesterday. and this rather weakened the feeling that gold may go out on Saturday. ‘A large portion of the trading element, how- ever, was still working for a reaction and in some stocks they were about to bring about lower prices. The open- ing figures were generally largo fraction higher than those of last night and the impetus. of the new buying served to further advance prices in the early dealings. Manhattan was the great feature, and was again moved about sharply with a genuine upward tendency on the news from new privileges to be granted by the raj transit commistion. ‘There were two weak spots in the list, how- ever, distillers again being pressed for sale, and after a rise to 58 retired to 5634, while the injunction against the registration of the new issue of $2,000,000 bonds on the New England caused considerable swing of that stock, and from 51 it retired to 4934. Sugar was active and strong and under a con- tinuation of the inside buying rose from 1 to 12334. Reading and St. Paul were promi- nent, and with the general list displayed'a firm tone with small fluctuations. At 11 o'clock the market was active and firm, generally at close to firat prices. ‘Trading in stocks after 11 o'clock fell away to very ordinary proportions in everything except sugar distillers, St. Paul and Northern Pacific preferred. There was less pressure to sell, and a firm tone marked the dealings in everything but distillers, which was further fractionally depressed, retiring to 5634. ‘Sugar, on the other hand, was brought to above 124 and Northern Pacific preferred, which was specially prominent for strength, showed a gain of 5 per cent at 48. ‘The late dealings saw some improvement, even in distillers, though the market lacked BED ‘ALIVE. Two Miners Buried by Caving In of the Coal. Hazrerox, Pa., Jan. 18,—The news of a ter- rible accident oceurring at No. 5, Stockton, Inst evening reached bere this morning. Two Polish miners are entombed. One is probably dead and the other may be smothered before he is rescued. | A the time of the accident the men were en- | gaged in sinking a counter shaft in the main | seam. The fall of coal was heard for quite a | distance and brought many to the scene eager | to assist in the rescue. ‘They at once set to work to rescue the unfor- tunates, but up to.9 o'clock this morning had | not succeeded. They, however, have enough coal removed now to be able to talk to one of the entombed miners, . | In reply to a question as to where his com- panion was he said, “I don't know; have not seen him since the fall occurred.” It is probable that he is dead and the one with whom the conversation was held may die before he is released. ‘The names of the en- tombed men could not be ascertained at this writing.

The question of the mode of the inquiry as to the mental condition of Howard J. Schneider was brought to the attention of the Court in| General Term this afternoon. The matter was informally discussed by coun- sel for the government and the condemned man, the form of the inquiry being substan- tially agreed upon by both sides to the effect that | the ‘court should appoint commission to be | composed of insanity experts. It was thought that the better way for the commission jt proceed would be for it to hear, | |im conjunction with the court, wit | nesses as to the prisoner's mental condition, | and after a personal examination of the man to report its finding to the court. The names of the following experts were suggested to the court as members of the commission: Dr. Hard ofJohns Hopkins University, Balti- more, Dr. Carver of Philaielphia, Dr. A. F. MeDonald of New York and Dra. 'W. ding and Irving Ross of this city. The court took the matter under considera- | tion, and it is expected that a decision will be | rendered in a day or two. It is thought that the plan of inquiry as suggested to the court will be adopted, and that the inquiry be begun | early next week. > DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. | TRE BOARD OF CHARITIES BILL RECOMMENDED. The Commissioners have favorably recom- mended the bill to create a board of charities for the District of Columbia. They say that as the reform school is a charitable institution it | is both logical and proper that the Commis- | sioners should have the supervision of this, as | of every other similar institution in the District | of Columbia. If, on the other hand, the funds | with which this school is supported come solely | from the United vernment it would be proper that the United States should exclusively | Airect ite policy and deal with its vouchers, | THE REFORM SCHOOL. | At the hearing before the Senate committee on the District of Columbia, held a few days ago, objection was made on the part of the | board of trustees of the reform school to the eee of that institution under the proposed | card of charities. That portion of the bill re- lating to this was submitted to the Commis- | sioners for an expression of their views, They | iz turn submitted the matter to Superintendent Warner, » a report, in which he of having the affairs of the institution supervised by some other body than the executive board that controls it. | MISCELLANEOU The Commissioners have appointed Carey | Plemmons a private on the police | promoted Private Eugene Traine to class two, SHOT HIMs TIMES. | Au Unhappy Street Car Conductor's Des- perate Attempt at Suicide.

Walker had an inter- | view with Secretary ‘Tracy today relative to the reported revolution in Hayti and the failure of the Haytian government to make snitable reparation for the indignities offered Mr. Fred- erick Meva of Boston. Admiral Walker told Secretary Tracy today that he saw no necessity, judging from reports up to date, to send another vessel to Hayti, Secretary Foster will insist on reparation from Hayti in the Mevs case. The Navy Department is informed of the ar- rival of the Kearsarge at Colon, Panama, and the Atlanta at Port au Prince. Both of these vessels will be available in case of trouble at Hayti. It is said at the Navy Department that it is not likely that any more vessels will be sent to those waters. ee ee TO SELL THE ANIMALS.

Ex-President Hayes held high and important positions dur- ing his life, having been a mem- ber of Congress, gallant and dis tinguished Union soldier during the war, three | times governor of the state of Obio and Presi- | dent of the United States. He wase man of unblemished character, against whom no word of reproach ‘could be — uttered. Personally I knew him well, and feel a rsonal sense of sorrow that he is taken from us. He was 4 man of greai ability—greater than he sometimes displ jin his public actions—becanse he was al- ways honest, always courteous and kind to every person who approached un, alw: generous to friend and foe.
