 The afternoon vote gave Bingham 113, W. E. Chandler g, Briggs 27, Tappan 30, Mars ton 25, Stevens 16, Smith 16, O. O. Moore 9, Barnard 4, Gallinger 4, Hartman 3, the re- mainder scattering among ten other candi- dates. Legislation has been practically sus- pended till the Senatorship is settled. No decisive vote is expected till next week. Rol- Gns does not indicate where he shall thow his strength and Chandler refuses to be in- terviewed at all on the matter. Patterson and Rollins are now considered out of the fight Mr. Chandler and Attorney General Tappan met to-day and the feeling between them is so hostile that the latter refused to recognize the secretary or take his profered hand. The Demcera@ are iubilant over the situation.
