Senate Finally Votes Ratification of Treaty. VOTE WAS DECISIVE ONE Sixty-Six Members Approved, While Fourteen Were Recorded Against the Convention—Columbia Gets No Pay. A Washington special says: By a vote of 66 to 14 the Panama canal treaty was ratified by the senate Tuesday, and the great enterprise which means so much to the commerce of the world, of the United States and of the southern states in particular is indefinitely inaugurated. The detailed vote upon the treaty was as follows: *Yeas: Aldrich, Alger, Allee, Allison, Ankenny, Bacon, Ball. Bard, Berry, Beveridge Burnham Burrows, Clapp, Clark of Wyoming. Clarke of Arkansas, Clay, Cockrell, Cullom Depew. Dietrich, Dillingham, Dolliver, Dryden, Elkins, Falbanks, Foraker, Foster of Louisiana, Frye, Fulton, Gallinger, Gamble Gloson, Hale, Hansbrough,Heyburn, Hoar. Hopkins, Kean, Kearns, Kittedge Lattiner, Lodge Long Mc-Comas, McCreary, McCumber McEnry, Mallory, Millard, Mitchell, Money, Nelson, Penrose, Persins, Platt of Connecticut, Platt of New York, Proctor, Quarles, Scott, Simmons, Smoot, Spooner, Stewart, Tallaferro, Warren, Wetmore—66. *Nays: Bailey, Bate, Blackburn, Carmack, Culberson, Daniel, Dubois, Gorman, Morgan, Newlands, Patterson, Pettus, Teller, Tullman—14. The parts of instruction were: Quay and Clark of Montana with Overman; Foster of Washington and Hawley with McLaufin; Burton and Stone with Martin. The pairs were two to one as a two- thirds vote is necessary to ratify a treaty. The proceedings leading up to the final vote were highly interesting. There was practically a full attendance of the senate throughout the session and the galleries were crowded with interested spectators, many people being unable to gain admittance. The only other vote except that on ratification was on the amendment offered by Senator Bacon, providing for an arrangement to compensate Colombia for loss of the territory of Panama. This was rejected by a vote of 24 to 49. It was a party vote on the affirmative side, with the exception of Mr. Gibson and Mr. McEnery, democrats, who voted with the republicans. Four democrails were absent when this vote was taken and no pairs were announced for them. Some republicans also were absent on this vote. Senators generally commend the management of the treaty by Senator Cullom, chairman of the committee on Foreign relations, who had charge of the measure, during both the plain and stormy sailing. The vote was taken much earlier than was at first anticipated, when the opponents were vigorously trying to secure enough votes to prevent ratification. HANNA WILL PROBATED. In Testament, of Late Senator Family Is Beguicated Whole Estate. By the will of the late Senator M. A. Hanna, probated at Cleveland, Ohio, an estate valued at about $3,000,000 is left to the family. There are no public bequests. Several years ago Senator Hanna took out considerable life insurance for the benefit of his three children. The will provide that these gifts are not to be taken into consideration in the settlement of the estate. It was the directions of the senator that all partnerships in which he was interested during his life should be continued the same as if he were still alive. Daniel R. Hanna, Mrs. Hanna and T. C.

HANNA ENTOMBED Last Rites Over Dead States man at Cleveland. Silence Religned Throughout the City as Farewell Homage Was Being Paid to the Man Who Was Endeared to All. The people of Cleveland, Ohio, paid homage Friday to the memory of their first citizen, the state at large added its tribute of respect, and many citizens, distinguished in private and official life in all parts of the country, lent their presence at the ceremonies which preceded the consigning to earth of the remains of the late senator. The last rites over his body were held at St. Paul Episcopal church. During the solemn service Cleveland was a silent city; street railway and steam traffic on every line in the city was stopped for five minutes at 1 o'clock. Among the distinguished people present from abroad were J. Plerpoint Morgan and party, of New York; Governor Durbin, of Indiana, and staff; George, B. Cox and party of Cincinnati, and a number of business and social friends of the dead senator from Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburg and New York. At an early hour the chamber of commerce, where the body of the dead statesman had lain in state since Thursday morning, was besieged by thousands of workmen with their dinner pails, on their way to their daily toll. In such great numbers did they assemble that many unable to stand longer in line, were deprived of a last look at the face of the dead. Thousands of visitors who had hoped to have an opportunity of passing by the bier of the dead senator, also abandoned the idea when they saw how hopeless was their chance of gaining admission. At ten o'clock the members of the state legislature who recently chose Mr. Hanna to represent Ohio in the United States senate drove from their hotel to the chamber of commerce in a body and looked for a time upon the face of the dead jatesman. The Washington delegation arrived at 10:30, and they, together with the personal friends of the late senator, were admitted to the chamber of commerce between 11 o'clock and noon. The scene at the bier at this time was strikingly sad. When the doors were closed finally at noon it was estimated that since the face of the late senator had been exposed to the public sixty thousand people had looked upon it. Promptly at noon the funeral cortège left the chamber of commerce building for the church, preceded by a platoon of police and escorted by military and civic organizations. Reservations on the centre aisle were made for the family, governors' staff, the Washington delegation and other distinguished guests and members of the state legislature. The church was filled long before the hour for the services to commence, and thousands lined the streets about the edifice. The church services were brief, but solemnly impressive, being interrupted at times by sobs from all parts of the church. Immediately on the close of the service the body, accompanied by the family, palbearers and Bishop Leonard, proceeded slowly out Euclid avenue to Lake View cemetery, where a final farewell of the dead was taken in Wade Memorial chapel. The service consisted simply of a prayer by the bishop. The body was deposited in a crypt in the chapel to await burial at the pleasure of the family. PROGRESS OF SWAYNE CASE. Committee Regaled With Charges of Corrupt Practices by Judge. The leading features Friday in the congressional committee's investigation of the charges against Federal Judge Charles Swayne, of Florida, was the introduction of testimony in Tallahassee alleging corrupt practice in bankruptcy proceedings in Swayne's court and that Swayne engaged in lobbying before congress to secure redistricting of his jurisdiction. The committee adjourned to meet in Jacksonville. EDUCATORS MEET Members and Delegates from National Educational Association Take Georgia Capital City by Storm. Fully 1,000 delegates from all parts of the Union assembled at the Gland Opera house in Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday morning at the opening-gession of the convention of the National Educational Association, department of suprintendence. It was a representative audience of American culture that filled the lower floor, the balcony and the boxes of the opera house. In the audience were representatives of colleges, noted schoolbook authors, educational authorities, superintendents of complicated school systems and experts in all lines of educational effort. The session was opened with prayer by Dr. Theron Rice, of Atlanta, who asked the divine blessing on the assemblage of educators. President Henry P. Emerson, of Buffalo, who presided, then introduced Governor Joseph M. Terrell, who welcomed me educators. He alluded to the fact that Georgia, even as far back as the colonial period, had planned a system or public education, and he traced the growth of the original plan up to the present when with its system of local taxation, coupled with state aid, every county and town in the state had its public school system. He hoped to to see the time, he said, when the children in every county attend school the entire scholastic year. "We take pride," said Governor Terrell, "in referring to the general interest throughout the state in educational matters. The very air you breathe here is charged with the sentiment* that the children of the state shall be educated by the people thereof." President Emerson rose, and after a State School Commissioner William B. Merritt was next introduced, and addressed the audience. He expressed his appreciation of the visit of so many distinguished educators to the city, and spoke of the mutual benefit that such visits always occasioned. He also referred to the tremendous good the association had accomplished in its eighteen departments, and the benefit that teachers all over the land had derived from its exhaustive reports and researches. Speaking of education itself, Commissioner Merritt said: "The point that needs emphasis in our work is educational research. Illiteracy among the people is a point too much stressed. It at least is not our long suit, whatever it may be in other sections. We need proficiency in manual training, child and nature study and the like. In the fifties the south led in education, and now it surprises many people to know how we accomplish so much and pay so little. The reason is evident. For small pay our teachers and compensation in sunshine and glorious atmosphere." In President Emerson's response, he spoke of the good meetings of this kind did both the north and the south in the matter of wilping out all vestiges of sectionalism. Said he: "The members of this association appreciate the hearty welcome extended them by the people of Atlanta and none appreciate this more than the northern delegates. It is good policy for us to hold meetings in the south. There is nothing like exchanging ideas and methods. If there had been more of this in the old days, the conflict, of which your city was one of the bloodiest battle grounds, would never have occurred. Let us use this occasion to still further blot out this memory." The main body of the program was then taken up, the subject for discussion being "Education at the Universal Exposition. 1904." PERRY HEATH-RESIGNS. Owing to Death of Hanna 'He Relinquishes His Job as Secretary. Perry H. Heath, former first assistant postmaster general and secretary of the Republican national committee, wired his resignation of the latter position from Cleveland, Ohio, to Acting Chairman Payne at Washington, as follows: "Due to the death of the chairman, Mr. Hanna, I tender to you my resignation as secretary of the republican national committee, effective immediately." Mr. Heath stated that the telegram told the entire story. GZAR BARS CONSUL No Exequatur Waits Edward Morganat Dalney. HE CANNOT BE RECEIVED United States informed that Political Reasons Stand in the Way—Action Is Considered a Slight. A Washington special says: Secretary Hay has been informed that Edwin Morgan will not be granted an exequatur by the Russian government authorizing him to act as United States consul at Dalny. Mr. Morgan is now on his way from Washington to his post. He will sail from San Francisco and touch at Yokohama, Japan, at which point the state department will be able to advise him a month hence. This decision on the part of the Russian government was not altogether unexpected, but it is the subject of grave consideration by the state department officials, Secretary Hay regarding the matter of sufficient importance to warrant a personal visit to the white house, where he presented the facts to the president. A decision has not at this time been reached as to the answer to be made to the Russian government. It is said the reasons assigned for the declination to receive Mr. Morgan are entirely impersonal. In fact, Mr. Morgan has been for several years one of the American secrortaries of embassy at St. Petersburg, is very popular with the Russian officials, who would be glad to receive him as consul if political consideration did not forbid. It is explained that the reason for Russia's action is purely military; the army officers desiring that there shall be no foreign officials on the Liao Tung peninsular during the progress of hostilities. They fear that they may not be able to afford such officials a proper measure of protection in times of violence. It is also suggested that as the United States consul would be charged with the responsibility for the protection of the Japanese there would be many chances for severe friction which it is desirable to avoid. But many things may happen, it is pointed out, before Mr. Morgan arrives even at Japan, which will determine the course of the state department, and it is suggested that there is a possibility that the Russians may not be master of the Lioa Tung peninsula when the consul arrives. It is said in Washington that allter a the Russian course is consistent in that that government has steadfastly refused to receive any consuls at Dalny, and the only official the United States has ever had there was a commercial agent. The announcement is made that the decision in Mr. Morgan's case does not apply to the newly-appointed United States consuls at Mukden, and Antung. These consulates are in Manchuria and the state department; taking the ground that that province is part of China, would apply to the Chinese government for exequaturs for these consuls, not recognizing the right of any other power, to intervene. RUSSIA'S REPLY RECEIVED. Secretary Hay Hears from His Proposition Regarding Status of China. Russia's reply to Secretary Hay's note on China was handed to Ambassador McCormick, at St. Petersburg, Friday. The reply was given to Mr. McCormick by Foreign Minister Lamsdorf and was promptly dispatched to Washington. The terms of the reply have not been divulged. It is known, however, that they are along lines previously indicated, being a virtual acceptance in principle, with the exception of Manchuria, which is now the theatre of war and where Russia's special interests lie. Russian Government at Last Consents to Dissemination, of News. The Russian government, Friday, abolished the censorship upon all news and other telegrams going abread. The lifting of the embargo, which has existed for generations upon the free transmission of news from the Russian empire, came as a direct result of consideration of the subject by the ear himself and in some respects this abolition is regarded as the most important act since the amelioration of the serfs.

Blun, Jr., as delegates to the National Convention. THERE is not the least doubt about the unanimous re-election of Capt. J. W. Lyons as National Committeeman from Georgia. His unselfish work for the party deserves this distinction. This city is infested with many degrading dance halls. These places are the breeders of crimes of all kinds. Many of our young boys and girls are led to degradation therefrom. They are menaces to the best welfare of the city and should be broken up by the authorities. Every possible step should be taken to get out every Republican vote in the coming election. It is not too early for the work in this direction to begin. Our young voters must be reached and the old ones not neglected. County organization must move in this matter. AMONG those spoken of as delegates to the National Convention from the Eleventh District are Mr. S. S. Mincey Judge W. H Matthews. Both of these gentlemen are energetic Republicans and deserve success. The Republicans of the district would add honor to themselves to elect them. THE governor of Mississippi was elected on a platform to divide the school fund between the two racecats the legislature in its wisdom has seen to ignore this platform of the Governor. The good thinking white people of the south will not allow not headed politicians to influence them into that which is unjust. Political Notes. The following resolutions introduced by Mr. A. A. Alston, were adopted by the republicans last week: Resolved; that we, the delegates of the Republican voters of Chatham County in convention assembled, endorse, without reserve, the wise and successful of the dclc1 declan, true Republican, and pearless President, Theodore Boevolt; that we commend him for his words and deeds, which have proclaimed to all the world that while he lives and governs this government, for all the people of this country, and all the people shall not perish from the face of the earth; that we desire his nomination and election for another term, and do hereby instruct our delegates and pledge ourselves to work and to vote for those ends. Resolved, further, that we approve the administration's course in the Panama affair, believing it to have been the best course possible to progressive and sagacious, statemanship and that it will result ultimately, in great good to our country, our section and our own state and city. Resolved; further that we endorse the legislation of the Republican party, especially these measures which have for their object the protection of every man in every right guaranteed him under the constitution; and that we pledge the grand party our faith and allegiance and that we defend that servant, the Hon. Judson W. Hewlett, National Committeeman, state governor, and of this party and excellent representative of his people, do hereby beseech ourselves and instruct our delegates to work and to vote that he be continued in said position. Resolved, further, that we endorse hereby the administration of government and our own district, where Collectors are guarded with zealous care the best interest of the U.S. of the city of Savannah and of the Republican party. And be it further resolved that, whereas it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst, from the stage of action, from this struggle, the enemy of our country, Ohio; that we mourn with all Republicans, with all Americans, with all men, everywhere, who admire greatness of mind and of soul, the death of the greatest Americans of his time, the Hon. Marous A. Hamou, who resolved, also, that we mourn the loss sustained by our state and party in the death of that, grand old Chieftain of Republicism, Hon. A. E. Buck, of that stalwart warfare and leader, Hon. W. A. Pledger, of that fearless fighter for his people, raising the Hon. L. M. Pleasant, of that brave soldier, well known to this party who have passed to the great beyond. And, N. conclusion, be it resolved that we the delegates of this convention return to our several homes with resumed hope and courage; that we work faithfully and with the patriarchal party in this state and for an unrestricted showing at the polls on election day that we favor a steady, regular campaign of education along the lines of our citizenship and staunch Republicanism, carried on every day of the year, the patriarchal party, raising a conference, and the patriarchal party, raising a conference, for that, we make the Republican party in the state of Georgia a live, energetic, powerful force in the support of those principles which means liberty and democracy at home, respect and honor the freedmen it urged by the Republican state Committee.
