The, republican senators met today and decided to attend the opening session of the senate. Both brain lies of the legislature assembled at 11 o'clock. The senate elected the officers chosen by the democratic caucus, Kdwards (independent I voted with the democrat-- . No efforts at obstruction were made by the republican-'.- . Walker, democrat for the Tweuly-seveut- senatorial district was seated. The assembly WM quietly organised and the officers nominated by the. democratic caucus were elected. A committee whs then appointed by both branches and noti-fied the governor that the legislature was organized. He at once sent in his message, ami it was read. In his message the governor congratulated the people of the state upon the fact that for the first time In eighty years the governor was able lo address his suggestions to a leg-islature in political accord with the execu-tive, lie stated that the paramount duty lufore. the lcgi-latu- was to provide for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the state preparatory to a reappointment of the senate and assembly districts. He also pointed out the necessity for the immedi-ately reappointment of congressional dis-tricts. The remainder of the mcssago re-lated to state affairs of minor importance. eh Vohk, Jai :. State Si uator .1 am T. Edwards, who defeated Perry Veddcr in the Chautauqua district, is today the biggest link in the political muddle, which engages the attention of the political leaders of the statu. He is bigger than the legislature it-self, for without him tho senate cannot or-ganize with a legal quorum. TUe democrats have sixteen senators, but it takes seventeen to moke a quorum. Sen-ator Edwards designates himself as an Inde-pendent republican, hut he is quoted as say. ing he would sit with the democrats to or- - ganize the senate today. The. fifteen republican sena-tors are said to favor the plan of absenting themselves to prevent a quorum, and held a meeting here last night in conjunction with Piatt and other leaders to determine what to do. Senator lliscock was also present. Edwards had been invited to meet with them, but his failure to respond is regarded as ominous. After .1 lengthy discussion, all republicans seemed agreed on one point, and that is unless Edwards refuses to aid the democrats in organizing the senate, it will Ue, useless for the other republican senators to remain away. Some philosophical repub-licans profess to be indifferent as to Ed-wards' altitude. As to his standing on the contest between Walker (dom.) and Sherwood (rep.) in (he Twenty.seveuth district, Edwards is said lo have stated that he would not vote for Walker; that no man should be admitted to the senate who hail 1(540 votes less than his opponent, and that the electors of the dist-rict should have another election. Most of the senators left last night for Albany. Albany, .Ian. o. Late last night an Asso-ciated Press reporter met Senator Edwards, and the latter said he would certainly attend the senate meeting today. The democratic assemblymen last night caucused, naming Itohert Bush of Chemung. (Governor Hill's county) for speaker. The republicans named General J. W. Butted, which constitutes him leader of the republi-can minority. The democratic senate caucus named Sen-ator Cantor for president pro tern. FLASHES PEOM THE WIRES.

IT'S SHERMAM, ! "Uncle John" Will Win by a Margin of Not Less Than Teu Votes in the Caucus. The Greatest Senatorial Contest the Peo-ple of Ohio Ever Knew Prac-tical! at an End. FORAKER PEOPLE BITTER- - They Lay the Blame of Their Defeat all on the Administration at Wauhimrten. And MakH Big Threats of Downing Har-rison When He Comes Up For This afternoon a committee sent Boyntun a telegram saying in part: ' The republican platforms of 1880, 1884 and 18c8 rib- Iged the passage of acts for the exclusion of Chinese, ami, by voting against them. Sherman set himself above the party. Would he have changed it, had he been nominated for the presi-dency, or tried to deceive ttie people on tiie I'm ille slope': Will yon inform us why he voted against the eiuuiization of counties in 1875, and against tli arrears of pension act in 1884, which his parte pledged itself to pass? Why did he oppose tiie p.. ra of the bill to increase the pensions to $24 a mouth of soldiers who had lost an arm and were only receiving $IH per month And w hy he voted atf.iWtthe hill to limit the pension of any sol-dier, sailor or marine to a minimum of 56 per month: '. The Sherman people treat the efforts of this "self appointed labor committee," as they term it, with contempt, and express In-dignation that Shorman is accused of un-friendliness to the soldiers. AVhile all these charges and refutations serve as the subject for lively discussion, it is becom-ing apparent that neither the labor organiza-tions nor the farmers' alliance ure a factor in the present campaign. Tiie, contest was brought to a husty conclusion without, a protest" from W FopSker senators against tho seating of luen. Tilts assures Sherman one more vote. Five minutes after the oath of office was ad-ministered, Iden announced to the Associated Press: "I'm for Sherman for senator and want it distinctly so announced." Eenorniuation. THEY ARE FOR BLAINE. Or Any Oilier Man That Can Beat Har-rison As I'snal They are Making a Holy Show of Themselves at the Very start. COLrMBUP, O., Jon. 5. The greatest sena-torial contest the republicans of this 6tate have ever known is practically at an cud. Every political indication points to the nom-natio- n of John Sherman tomorrow bj a ma-jority of ten or twelve, votes over 1'orakcr, although this of course is not conceded by the friends of the. latter. Foraker's friends still declare he has a chance to win, but the Sherman people consider their victory as al-ready assured. The press of Ohio this morning generally considers the contest at au end. The bitter-ness of the Fortkcr people towards tho na-tional administration is intense and W. S, Cuppellar of Mansfield, one of Foraker's leading managers, today says: "Whether Sherman be nominated or not, beyond this time he is a political blank in Ohio politics, for the reason that he will have no future upon the political aspect slate or national, and while the outrageous Interference of the federal administration, so conspicuous to all, is admitted, it must be admitted that if the Harrison administra-tion hopes to succeed itself and carry Ohio, it will climb a barbed wire fence if necessary to be friendly with Foraker and his follow-ing in this state. The senatorial contest will leave sore places in every county, town-Shi- p and school district, and it McKinley, the incoming governor, can comprehend and realize the situation and be able to heal up the wounds, he will have performed a very creditable feat. Btttthere aro those who believe if Sherman is nominated for the senate, it will necessitate the nomination of Blaine as president to bring Ohio into tho republican column." This statement of Cuppellar is being as an admission by the Foraker people that they propose to array tncm-selve- s against President Harrison and curry the state delegation to the national couven- - tlou for Blaine, or, in the absen f his candidacy, for Senator CullOm of Illinois, or sonio other declared candidate for the presidency. For tin' first time in the contest, the Sher-ma- n people today gave names and figures. Chairman Hahn of the state central com. mittee soys Sherman will have fifty-si- x votes beyond all question. Fifteen of these will be senators and forty-on- represents,. I fives- - "If tho vote wen- taken now that would be my estimate of the result. How-ever, it may be Increased. Representative Dunn, who has been clslniod by the For-aker people, this morning declared unquali-fiedly for Sherman. As It Looked Last (right. The republican joint caucus will be held Welncsday evening. It looks now aa though the announcement of the standing of the doubtful onus will not be made until , the evening of tho caucus, and this, with the possibility of a secret ballot, still leaves the ultimate result uncertain. While a deadlock is not probable, it Is not impossible that the contest may drift Into a condition ' by which neither of the pronounced caudi. dates can secure a majority of the caucus. Much dispute was created by an open lt ler of Colonel H. V. Boynton, the Washing, ton journalist, defending Sherman's labor record and ridiculing Ihe "hitioi mmltteo" now here striving to defeat the senator. TALK OF A SHORT SESSION. Gossip Regarding the Plans of Congress Oklahoma to be Admitted. Washington, Jan. 5. Tho Pott this morn, ing says: The statement published some time ago to the effect that leading democrats are desirous of bringing the present session to a speedy adjournment, will receive cor-roboration in an amendment to the rules, which will bo offered by Representative MeCrcaryof Kentucky, Governor McCreary believes that all appropriations ought to be reported to tho house within the tirst eighty days of the long and the first, forty days of the short session, so that they can reeeivo speedy consideration, and thus insure an early adjournment. Hll amendment is made applicable to all sessions of congress. The effort will probably be made during the present session to admit Oklahoma to statehood. Au official of the government who recently made an inspection thero comes back to Washington with an enthusi. of the growth and advance-ment of Oklahoma. It is learned from an authoritative source that an effort will be made to repeal the disability law and adopt in its place a per diem service hill.

The trouble between the Salvation army and the authorities at East-bourne resulted yesterday iu a riot of un-usual violence. For a long time there has been open war between the Salvationists and the police. The former assert that the East, bourne, officials displayed a feeling of reiig-iou- s intolerance in their treatment of Uo army and so determined were the members of the Salvation army to maintain what they deemed their judicial rights, that they to Introduce, a bill in parliament to re-peal or amend tue Eastbourne Improvement act, under which the town officials prevent the Salvationists from holding meetings on t he streets Yesterday tho Eastbourne contingent of the Salvation array was divided into four sections situated in different parts of the town. The police broke up these meetings with some trouble, but in the afternoon sixty of the army again sallied from the barracks and proceeded to preach followed by an im-mense crowd, who menaced them with all manner of ill treatment. Once upon the beach, the Salvationists knelt down on the sands in oraycr. As they did so, they linked arms the better to repel the assaults of the irreligious mob should the latter take it into their heads to charge. The mob hooted ana yelled, and finally made an ugly rush. Some of the Salvationists were thrown to the irround, but immediately resumed their kneeling position and con- - tinned praying. Several times the rushing was repeoted, but the Salvationists paid no more attention than was necessary to avoid being seriously hurt. A number of police were present and the mob reviled them for not dispersing the Salvationists. As soon as the, praying was concluded the Salvationists rose to their feet- - This seemed the signal for a precon-certed attack, for the mob Immediately swooped down upon the devoted band scat-tering them in wild disorder. Many were struck, kicked and otherwi se ill treated-Th-musical instruments used liy the Sal-vationists seemed especially to excite tin-ir-of the mob, and the persons bearing them were singled out tor more than Usual brntal treatment. The mob got possession of the instruments and, after smashing them, threw them into the sea. Then a detachment of mounted police charged upon the crowd. They made no distinction between men and women. They rode down upon the crowd, trampling the rowdies, male and female alike, under the feet, of the horses. Many 01 the crowd ware severely injured. The Salvationists declare Hie police, instead of protecliug them, de-liberately struck them and rode over them. Their clothes were torn and their hats lust. A number of women lost their skirts and jackets in the wild rush following the charge of the police, the garments being torn off them in the desperate struggle to escape g trampled on by ihe horses. During the melee the standard of tie sal-vation army fell into the hands of the enemy. Some Salvationists charged to re-gain Ihe lis , and a tiereo fight resulted. riually the Salvationists regaiueu me standard and under a riin of blows, succeeded in getting away from the mob with the Hag in their posses, slon. After some little time the Salvation-ists, their clothing bedraggled and their faces showing the marks of ill treatment. Milled around their standard. They formed in regular line unci surrounded by the po-lice, marched back to Ihe barracks, Despite this protection they Were not safe from attack for the mob several times charged upon them and the police were al-most powerless to prevent injuries being Some of the more rabid of the mob got possession of the vehicles and paying no attention to the police, drove deliberately into the Salvationists' ranks ttitu the object of running over them. CRISP HAS NO PREFERENCE, It Will be Some Tins Before llu Cm Re-sume His lliitios. WrSBTiJQTOIf, Jan. 5. The condition of Speaker Crisp continues to improve, but it will probably be at least two weeks before his health will permit him to resume his du-ties as presidiug officer. The Bpeaker was consulted as to his wishes iu reference to the speaker pro tein of the house. He said the rules did not give him authority to Dame a temporary successor and he did not wish to express any preference, but to leave to the members of the house uninfluenced by him the election of a speaker pro tern. There is a general feeling on the part of the democrats in favor of the selection of McMillan. There was an informal meeting of the rules committee this morning. There is no disposition on the part of the republi-can members to take, advantage of any em-barrassments arising from the speaker's ill. ness and it was decided to permit the ordin-al v details of legislation to proceed without delay.

Another Chapter in the Factional l ight in the Kvaiiffelical Church. Chicago, Jan. 6. Judge Blodgett, in the federal court has rendered a decision which is a victory for the Kslier taction of the Ger-man Evangelical church in its liit against the Dubs faetton, The ease came before the court on a bill tiled by the missionary society of the church of which Wm. Yost of Cleveland Is treasurer, to enjoin Michael Kerikel from acting as such treasurer.
