Senator Mark Hanna, cf Ohio, died in Washington last Sanday after an illness extending through months. Commencing at the lowest roDg of the ladder he steadily climbed upward until he reached almost the highest pinnacle in the ladder of fame. While not a brilliant statesmen he was yet a safe and conservative man whose motives were acta ated by a desire to elevate the condition of all man kind. He was a trusted friend of the late President McKiirfey and the harshest thing that can be said of him is, that he was a Republican. PMr. J. W.

Friday. Fairfield and Lancaster clashed on the floor of the house last night and the crowded galiariee heard the lie pass between T. Yancey Williams and W. J. Johnson. It came up just after the memorial of the old state house commission was read. Mr. J. 0. Patterson, of Barnwell, who is a member of the recent commission, stated that none of the members had any dssire to rffLct upon the old commission. Mr. B^llin"* i i 1 A! ? ger mentioned one nigat m me uoiei i that he desired to be heard if there would be any reflection on him. Mr. Yancey Williams, who is also a member of the recent commission, stated practically the same thiDg. Mr. Aull said the question was one of simple justice and that the members of the old commission had asked for a hearing, which in his judgement, should be granted. Mr. D. D. McCall, Jr, wanted to endorse every word of the finding of the new commission. Mr. W. J. Johnson, of Fairfield, who ie a member of the old commission and who helped to prepare the memorial, arose for the purpose of addressing the house. Mr. Johnson said that whatever might be the purpose of the commission the fact remained that their names bad been tarnished. He mentinned the names of the old commission and asked the hmnae if ihpv thniiohfc thev would be guilty of anything dishonorable. He said he had asked for a hearing. Mr. Williams asked if he (Mr. Johnson) had asked him. Mr. Johnson stated that he had asked Mr. Robinson. Mr. Sobinson said that he had not. Mr. Johnson refused to yield to further questions. He said his opinion of the finding of the recent commission could not be couched in parliamentary language and the statement that it was not intended to I injure members of the old commission "was a falsehood." Mr. Williams?Do you mean that for me? Mr. Johnson?If the cap fits you wear it. As soon as Mr. Johnson cocculded his remarks Mr. Williams arose. He was quite cocl and his voice was steady. ''Mr. Speaker," he said, "if any ore says that the report of the commis t t -r 1 jj _ j 8100 or wcico i am a memoer uesueu to iojare a member cf tbe old commission, he lies.*' "Do you mean eh?" said Mr. JohneoD; but the reply was lost in the uproar and the rapping of the speaker for order. For two minutes Speaker Smith refused to recognize anyone and then Mr. Aull obtained the floor. He managed to calm things down somewhat and repeated his request for a hearing. Mr. Moses had moved that tbe resolution be received as information, but Mr. Aull had prepared another, asking the appointment of Ave members of the houge and two of the senate to take testimony in the hearing and report at once. Mr. Gaston wanted the matter referred to a committee for a rehearing. A little later Mr. Williams arose and stated: "Mr. Speaker, I deBire to apologise to the bouse, not to the gentleman, for my language used awhile ago.*' Mr. Johnson also apologized to the house. Saturday. The senate today put itself on record as favoring an additional number of circuits. As to whether there shall be four or ten as two bills provide, will b3 considered Monday night. There was a long debate on the question this morning, but nothing definite was done except that the conafa rlenltircri in fcvnr rf WVUMbV VtVVtblt VU * V JV. I Vi V -? J Senator MaySeid's resolution that additional circuits are necessary. The house having sent in a communication that it agreed with the senate resolution as to the appointment of a commission to institute suit against architect Milburn and and contractors Mcllvaine, Uokefer & Co., Senator Alcirich was appointed as a member of the commission on the part of the senate. 'The house resolution to allow the members of the state house commission to print tbeir statements in the journals went over for consideration Monday. The bill as to treating at elections was passed to a third reading without further debate, though notice was given that amendments to the bill, and a fight against it, would be made on the third reading. The senate apjourned until Monday at 12 The bouse this morning considered a Dumber of petitions from different sections of the state in favor of the Brice bill relatives to communities desiring to get rid of dispensaries. The house adopted the resolution of the senate passed yesterday authorizing that suit b9 brought against F. P. Milburo, architect, and Mcllvaine, Uokefer & Go, contractors, at once. The resolution provides that one member of the house and one member of the senate supervise the litigation, and this committee shall have the power to employ an attorney, who shall not receive more j than 25 per cent, of the money recovered. A sum of $500 is appropriated for the purpose. The state house work took up a considerable portion of the morning hours. The Benate sent over a concurrent resolution to fcakiDg the testimony of the old commission. The senate resolution provides for the appointment of a commission of five to take the testimony, send for papers, etc, bearing on the matter. The house last night passed a concurrent resolution, reported by the railroad committee, suggesting that the old commission be authorized to submit another statement and this statement be published in the journal. Today when the senate resolution relative to the appointment of a committee, of five came over, it was referred to the railroad committee, to await the senate's action on the concurrent resolution of the house, which i3 to do away with any additional committees on the taking cf state bouse testimony. Among the bills that received their final action in the bouse were: Mr. Sharp's biil to authorize the Lexington Power company to erect dams across Saluda river, in Lexington county and to transmit current to other points.
