Hill of Norwalk, member of the ways anl means committee, Who has served several times in the lower bodv of congress.

After that the sessions will begin business and the. most of the members appear to want a short session. Declaration by Speaker Banks. An incident of the house session was the deciaration of Speaker Banks that he had not allowed the senatorial contest to enter into his selection of committees. Said He: “I promise you that no member of this house will be punished and no member of this house will be favored because of his vote for either candidate for United States sen- ator, I go one step further and say that if I had positive knowledge, cer- tainly beyond doubt, that any mem- ber of this house had sold his birth- right for such a megs of pottage as a promised committee appointment, 1 should consider him unworthy to serve Tuesday, and the joint assembly will be on the day following, as provided by law. At that time Senafor Brandegee will have the votes of all the republi- cans, while those of the democrats will probably be cast for Judge A. Heaton Robertson of New Haven, who was the party gubernatorial candidate at the atate election. A Very Quiet Caucus. The caucus was a very quiet affair, and as the nominating speeches were omitted by consent of each side the proceedings included simply the organ- ization with Speaker E. 8. Banks as presiding officer; the selection of Rep- resentative Hayes of Waterbury as clerk: the clearing of the floer of out- siders; the decision as to a method of balloting, and then the casting of the vote.

As soon as the tellers had formally announced their court, Representative Chandler of Rocky Hill moved that the Is Asked if He Would Be Candidate ballot be made unanimous, and this Next Time. was carried and the caucus was at an i Jhs g end. Hartford, Jan. 12. — Congressman How the Ballots Were Cast. E. J. Hill was interviewed after the résult of the caucus became known. In casting their ballots most of the members tightly foided the small slips of paper, and it was hard to tell just how they voted. The Hill baliots were a little larger than those used by the Brindege men. It appeared, however, that Mr. Hill got all but three or four Litchfield county votes, the defection being apparently in Woo bury and New Milford, while on the other hand the defection from a solid delegation for Mr. Brandegee in Tolland county seem- ing to be In Somers, Tolland, and to- talling for the county about six. Mr. Brandegee seemed to get the solid vote of New London and Windham coun- ties, and the vote of Fairfleld, New Ha- ven, Hartford and Midlesex counties semed to be evenly divided. The in- dications were that his representatives in Meriden, Stamford and New Haven, which had been cebatable ground, cast their votes for Mr. Brandegee. Hard Fought Battle Mr. Brandegee's margin of 15 votes was, all things considered, a very close one. Mr. Hill started with very little backing after the November election and slowly made inroads in- to the Brandegee column until on Sat- urday last the Brandegee men real- ized the tide was going against them. Over Sunday a determMed effort was made to bring into use every device known in politicdl tactics and in many Pplhces great pressure was exerted on lecal representatives under the guise y discipline. The Hill men quickly countered and all day yester- day the battle fought behind the scenes was one of master minds. Railroad Commissioner O, R. Fyler and J. Henry Roraback, in charge of the HIll * campaign, were matched against Chairman Kenealy and Rail- road Commissioner Andrew F. Gates, to whose assistance came last night the senior senator, Morgan G. Bulke- ley, the hero of many a hard fought battle and the master hand at tacti- <al manouevring. There were many after the caucue who, in their discus- sion, laid Mr, Brandegee's success to the arrival of the senior senator. Personal Friendship Told. This morning, in the lobby of the Allyn house, where everyone who Knew the political game was camped, the Brandegee men were convinced ,that things looked a little better for them. Personal friendship of the state leaders “1th the local leaders was be- ginning to tell, and those members of the legislature who had been back- ward in declaring themselves were brought under the influence of those leaders who were in a position to de- mand definite avowals of position, On the other hand, the Hill men were us- ing all their power to hold their own men in line. Views Changed Rtpidly. ‘There y was nothing spectacular in the contest. Much of the work was not discernible to those who were not closely In touch with the situation. The solllp fluctuated first from one candidate to the other and views changed rapidly and it was only the r heads who made predictions and clung to them, Vote in Caucus of Full Republican Strength. The vote in the caucus was the full republican Representative Lane of Hamden, Tifft of Beacon s and Frink of Chaplin, who were elected on democratic tickets, llthoah republicans themselves, were not mitted to the caucus. This left 236 votes, but O, C. Hill of Bethlehem ®at in the caucus in place of James E. Allen of that town, a democrat who has not qualified. This brought the vote to 237, making 119 necessary for enolos, The caucus was very quiet- oot 4 o Mr. Hill said “Well, I have nothing else to do now but go back to wdr! back to the hardest job I know of. Asked if he would be a candidate next time, he said: “My work in Washington will be so engrossing that I will not have time to think of any- thing else.” Mr, Hill took the triumph of Mr. Brandegee with ggod-natured philoso- phy and assured his friends who gath- ered at his headquarters in the Allyn house, that “we have had a good fight for the nomination, anyway.” REHEARSED EVIDENCE. Charges Made by Defense in the Hains Case. Flushing, N. Y., Jan. 12.—Charges that the téstimony of the members of the Bayside Yacht club was manufac- tured, and that witnesses were with- drawn from the stand because their evidence was not sufficiently re- hearsed, were made by Lawyer John F.

He spent over five hours today in reviewing the evidence in the case and pointing out discrep- ancles, which, he asserted, showed that much of the testimony of the state had been rehearsed in an instruction school. .

Hains, was “manifestly false and that she had been taken from the witness stand when it was seen that her story had not been sufficiently rehearsed.” Mr. Mcintyre and Prosecutor Dar- rin had several verbal clashes during Mr. Mclntyre's dramatic recital.

Browning’s Watch Found in the Dead Pocket. b Burlington, Iowa, Jan. 12.—When the body of Rev. John Haviland Carmich- ael of Adair, Mich., confessed slayer of Gldeon Browning, whom he slew’ and cremated in Rattle. Run Methodist church, near Adair, Mich, passed through Burlington tonight on the way to Port Huron, Mich., from Carthake, 11l where the preacher committed sui- cide yesterday, Deputy Sheriff Moore of Port Huron gave it as his opinion that Carmichael was entirely prompt- ed to the murder of Browning by mer- cenary motives, and that the purpose in the murder of Browning was to give the impression that he himself was the victim, so that his wife might receive the insurance money. Carmichael then planned, the deputy said, in some way to_get the money from his wife. Detectives who made careful exam- ination of the body discoveerd, it is said, on one of the legs a number of hypodermic syringe wounds. They later found the syringe with which they were made. This suggested to some that Carmichael was a victim of drugs. In the dead man’s pocket was overed the watch of Browning. It was ascertained that the pocket- knife with which Carmichael commit- ted suicide was the property of Brown- ing. The knife was easily identified, because it was one of the scenic hand- led variety, containing pictures under transparent celluloid sides. The letter left by the suicide to Mrs. Carmichael was made public today. In it the parson further accuses himself of cowardice for not staying to face the consequences of %is act. He shows friendship for his wife and children, but there seems to be coldness of na- ture in the language used. Carmich- ael in his flight from Port Huron, Mich., had had his beard removed, completely changing his appearance. DETERMINED THAT MESSINA SHALL RISE AGAIN. City—Cargo of Reshipped.

Nineteen contract miners with their crews were at work in a naw entry and it is feared that all of these men were lost. Mine Recently Pronounced Safe.

One rescue party came in slght of six bodles today but was forced back. A late estimate of the number of men entombed is more than 100. That all of them are dead there can be no doubt. The force of the explosion ,the fire In the mine and the deadly gases preclude any chance that any of the men are alive. Ten Bodies Recovered. At ten o'clock ten bodies had been taken from Lick Branch mine. None of them has been identified. An old carpenter shop has been furned into a morgue and the bodles have been placed there with the expectation that identification can be accomplished. HEARST EDITORS TO JAIL.

Chinese Physician Commissioned to Carry Out the Plot. New York, Jan. 12.—The Chinese Re- form association, having headquarters here, received a long cipher cable de- spatch today from Hong Kong, con- firming the statement that the late emperor of China had met an unnatu- ral death. The despatch states that before the late empress dowager's death the question of choosing an heir presumptive was pending. Yuan Shi Kal strongly urged the dowager em- press to select the eldest son of Prince Ching, but the prince denied this re- quest.” This refusal, and the impend- ing death of the dowaker empress, led Ylan Shi Kal to believe that Emperor Kuang Heu soon would regain his pow- er and deal summarily with-those who had subordinated him to the dowager empress. The despatch states that a Chinese physiclan, a native o f the province of Fukin, thereupon was com- missioned to put the emperor out of the way. The plot was carried out, ac- cording to the despatch, and has since been revealed by one of the particl- pants named Ching Sa Sen, who has made his escape to Japan.
