MR.. WINDOWS WANING STRENGTH.

BY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. 19.-The deadlock in the
Legislature on tho United States Senatorship con-
tnues with little likelihood of ending before the
latter part of next week. The Window men are
holding night caucusses and are determined TO and
by their until the last, yet every ballot shows
a slow falling of in WINDOWS vote. On Wednes-
day. when both Houses balloted separately, Mr..
Window received seventy votes. In daily JOINT
| conventions since then his strength has waned I'M
til the last of four ballots taken to-day. only f-
ty votes were recorded for him. II the opposition
could concentrate upon one candidate, speedy
election wound undoubtedly result. With four abb
sentees there are 146 votes. Giving 40 TO Win
dom, to which figure his strength will probably be
confined by Monday. and 80 to Wilson the
Democratic candidate, who daily receives about
that number, there 81 votes remaining.
Should the contest narrow down to these limits
there is little doubt that the requisite additional
eight votes could soon be mustered for some accept
able Republican besides Mr.. Window. What
strengthens this suppositon is the fact that
Der of Democrats stand ready to make break from
Mr. Wilson the moment the name of some unobjec-
tiOnable compromise candidate is presented. The
situation late tonight remains practically I'M
changed and there is no telling what the morrow
will bring forth. The general expectation, how
ever, is that no result will be reached for week.
