Word of the senator's death went

Senators and representatives visit-

and many of the dead man's friends
were admitted to the death chamber.
His Last Words.
The last Intelligible words spoken by
Senator Hanna were pathetic in his
attempt to maintain to the laat the
humor which was characteristic of bis
life. Yesterday morning he moved his
head slightly and his eyes a little. The
nurse asked if he was looking for bis
handkerchief.
"I think my wife has my handker-
chief" the snvor whispered.
Members of the family when told
of the remark at once recognized It a-
one of his favorite rejoinders in good-
na'uicd plaguing In which Mr and
M:s Hanna often indulged It was
tho na'or'h cubtom when in- missed

wife has it "

known that there was no chance for

hae a death mask taken by Sculptor
V. S J Dunbar and that was done
early In the evening. The cast will be

will show the face in IU usual full-

emaciation and owing to the constant
use of oxygen had taken on what ap-
peared to be a coat of tan which gave
it almost lifelike appearance.

Boyarin was blown up by a mine February 18 in tho sanio
manner as was the Russian torpedo transport Yenisei . Sho

derstood wore lost. No details of the disaster are given out.

Just reached Moji with 1800 Japanese
refugees on board Including the com-
mercial agent of Japan at Vladivo-
stok. The latter reports that ten
Russian torpetio boats are froien up
at tliat port unable to move. When
news of the opening of war reached
Vladlvostock the squadron there was
hastily repainted and cleared for
action leaving port on the afternoon
of February 9. He believed that It re-
turned to Vladlvostock after sinking
the Nakonoura Maru. There are no
torpedoes nor mines sunk at Vladl-'
vostock and the place Is to' ally unpre
pared to resist attack.
The massing of troops on the north
bank of the Yalu continues the Rus-
sians evidently believing that the
Japanese intend to make their main
attack there with the objective In view
of forcing their way through the Rus-
sian lines and destroying the railway
thereby cutting off all communication
with Port Arthur and Vladlvostock.

Ister appeared very much depressed
nnd his wife wept.
