PROGRESS OF THE SENATORIAL BATTLE
LIScoLN, January 1S. Another d "
If suspense and excitement. The bal
lots taken to-day were both surprise
and disappointment. Millard'a boom
collapsed before it reached the di.
mensions that were predicted by hi.
supporters. Tho failure Is chief h
ascribed to the fact that many mem.
bers who had pledged him support
backed down because they did no,
dare to 60 home with such records
Thsysr's increased vote created great
commotion in the camp of rival candi-
dates. The Impression bscame
general in the lobby tina,
Thayer was the coming man. This
impression was strengthened by
general activity among Thsyerslobby,
and at about 8 N. the Msnderson,
Saunders and Gown followers were
panic struck over the report that the
Union Pacific and Burlington & Mis-
souri, had pooled on Thayer In oollu
sion with Rosewater, who was repre-
sented as pledged to deliver the anti
monopoly vote to Thayer. This
canard caused lively commotion for a
time among the camp followers
of the Omaha syndicate. l
communicated itself to conference
of the republicans. Gray, Of
Douglass, who had been chief support
er of Millard, denounced Thayer as 3
Union Pacific pensjoner, and genera
elimination and recrimination was in
duiged in between Millard men ant
Thayer men. The confsr ad
journed at ten p. m. without reaching
any conclusion. The outlook for to
morrow indicates another 6eld day
without much change except the trans
fer of Millard's votes to various can
didates. It Is freely predicted that al
the leading republican candidates vii
be defeated in turn, and dark horseI
are being groomed for the last heat.

The uses of the telephone have here
tofore been much limited, because of
the impossibiliiy of talking through
them at any great distance. But by a
recent invention of one Doctor Baxter,
this difficulty has heen overcome, and
it is thought that hereafter there will
be little or no impeachment in communi-
eating by voice through the Atlantic
cables. Recently Il conversation was
kept up between New York and Cleve-
land, Ohio, a distance of about sever
hundred and thirty-fiye miles, and the
voice could DO AS distinctly heard as
with an ordinary telephone ten or If
teen milss apart. The person speaking
at either end could be heard all along
the route, This telephone is so con-
structed that the voice acting upon the
diaphragm make u break in the current
in the same manner. rs a Geographic
wire ii operated upon bp a telegraphic
key, and 1t is believed that it can be
used as far as the telegraph itself.
Talk Of miracles, What can be more
wonderful than carrying on a conve

RAzOws MADE FOR FIGHTING FUR

The Sheffield razor trnde has been very
brisk for nearly two years, and the razor
forgers are ngitating, though in a very friend
b why, for an advance of 10 per cent. in
wages. A ''spurt" was given to the nzoI
trade in a singular way just before the Egypt
ian war. On the soldiers kits being exam

razors, knives, and forks A large firm in
Sheffield were asked by Government to make
several thousand, razors In o certain time.
Tho firm replied that ,hey could supply from

In the days Of the late Mr.. Roebuek, o
Sheffield manufacturer made the remark in
his presence that the British soldier shaved

case, at AID. TO 5id. Mr.. Roebuck express
ed some in~credulity. but the manufactures

possession. The present activity in the razor
trade is the sudden change in the American
demand, which Is now all for hollow backed
razors.
Another kind is made, not for shaving,
but for razor fights. 1t is very loose in the
bls lie, which can be suddenly thrown back,
and held between the fingers for a dash at
the face. This razor is said to be almost Gu
tirely used BY negroes. and large numbers
are sent to the United States. The Sheffield
water is said to be essential to the making of
