SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Republican Sem
ators laugh amiably over the stories of
Mshone's demands, and say they have not
heard of them outside Of some OF the
newspapers. 1t is true that to organize
the Senate the Republicans will have to
get the votes of Malone and Riddleberger,
and Malone, who is a practical politician,
and who does business on "'quid pro quo
principles, is not bashful about naming
his terms. But Senators will not give
away everything they have for Read
juster votes. Malone is said to demand
the election of Gorham as Secretary and
Grady of Lynchburg as Serseant-at-Arms,
and a place on the Finance Committee.
So high a price will not be paid. To give
him the two places indicated would be to
give him absolutely all the patronage
the Senate has. There is reason to be-
lieve that one or two Democrats would
vote with the Republicans for President
pro tenn. rather than have Malone take
possession Of everything. Gorham is
nearly out of a job. He is not wonted in
the National Republican office any longer,
aud therefore is anxious to have the Senate
recognize him next month, and Malone
would be glad to accommodate him if he
could. But if Davis withdraws from the
chair before March / Malone would have
a small opportunity TO help Gorham.
Senator Davis remarked to a friend that
there would be no need of a called session
Of the Senate This, interpreted, means
that the acting Vice-President intends to
vacate the chair before adjournment and
allow the election of his successor. Should
he do so, no doubt the Senate will elect
the presiding officer from one Of the hold
overs, and the President would be given to
understand that they do not desire to
meet in extra session after the 4th of
March. This will be resisted, however, in
one or two quarters seriously.
The Star Reuters Terrified.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The latest re-
ports for the Florida developments for the
past few days have terrified the Star
Reuters. Among the latest rumors is one
that Brady and Dorsey are making prep
a~rations TO get away from Washington.
Warning has been given Government
counsel that another effort be made to fix
some Of the jury, as the defendants have
come to the conclusion that this is their
Only hope Of salvation. Ex-deteotiyes,
who hsYe lost their positions since the
Star Route trials began, daily hover about
the city all day, ana hold intercourse
with a number of suspicious characters.
They in turn are subjected to surveil-
lance by aganta Of the Government. Every
mpvement is strictly Q~hronieled and faith
fully reported to the proper authorities. 1t
has also been gscertained that Brady has
converted all his property into cash, and
the last transaction netted him about
S12O, 900, which he has put aside in case
al emergency should arise. All the move.
ments OF the principals are hereafter to be
carefully looked after, and it is doubtful if
they can get away undisturbed. Govern.
ment counsel say that Rerdell's evidence
will convict all the Star Route defendants.
Rerdell says he tells truth for truths sake
and his family's sake. Counsel for defend
ants say that. RerdelI, who is a homeless
individual, insignificant physically, NOR
ally, squeaked under the pressure in order
to save himself from possible conviction.
They think his testimony is not so strong

Dorsey was present. He says be will
neither turn States evidence nor run away
