Possibility ofa Tie in the Next Senate


WASHINGTON, Nov. THE Star
last evening figures out a probable tie
in the Senate after the Sd of next March. 1
Itsays: "On March Sd the terms of
sixteen Republicans and nine Demo
cratic senators will expire. OF the six
teen Republicans who will retire fif
teen will certainly be succeeded by
men of the same party. Messrs. Sher-
man, Aldrich and Edmunds have been
reelected, and the legislatures of Con-
necticut, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
are Republican. The Democrats lose
of the nine whose terms eXpire-Fair,
of fNevada-aDd are sure of the remain
der so that If the Legislatures of Cali
fornia, Indiana and New Jersey prove
to be Democratic, the result of the
change in the Senate after the Sd of
March will be net loss of three to the
Republicans, Democrat having been
chosen to succeed Malone from Virgin
ia. The present Senate stands forty
one Republicans, thirty-four Demo-
Gratis, and one Readjuster (Riddleber-
ger). But Senator Van Wyck comes
back from Nebraska as peoples Rep
resentative. He made his fight before
the whole people and won on an issue
of opposition to corporations. During
his present term he has not hesitated
on occasions to antagonize his party,
and under the conditions of his re-elec-
tiOn he may be more independent still.
Leaving Van Wyck and Riddleber-
ger out of the count, the next Senate
will stand, provided the Democrats Sc
cure the three doubtful states men,
tioned--thirty-seven Republicans, thir-
ty-seven Democrats. Thus Messrs. Van
Wyck and Riddleberger would hold
the balance of power. In connection
with this probable solution, it is a fact
worth mentioning that both Van Wyck
and Riddleberger have given evidence
of kindly feeling for the administra-
tion. .s
In the event ofany conflict between
the Executive and the Senate, the two
votes from Nebraska and Virginia
would determine the issue. Van Wyck
and Riddleberger would have it in
their power, by cooperation with the
Democrats, to organize the Senate, or
should Van Wyck vote with the Re-
publicans and Riddleberger with the
Democrats on the question of organi-
zation, there would be tie, and there
is no Vice President to throw the de-
Gliding vote. .....

Lawrence Donovan, of New York, who
recently jumped from the Brooklyn

Drew, u reporter of a Buffalo paper.
He made the jump successfully, a
distance of 1870 feet. He went straight
down, feet foremost and came up some
what dazed, but struck out for the boat,
in which were Messrs. Haley and Drew.
He was taken in and stimulants given
him, and was found not severely in

his hip is bruised. He said before he
got out of the water that he would not
jump again for SI,000,00O. Afterwards

MAJORITY OF STATES.
Democrats Will Have a Majority IL
Election of President isThrOwn
Into the House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The Repub-
licans have been boasting that as re-
suit of the late Congressional elections
they would have a majority of State
delegations which would enable them
to elect a President if there should be
no choice by the next electoral college.
1t seems that their boasting has been
premature and that majority of the
delegations will be Democratic. Ofthe
thirty-eight States, the Republicans
have majority in the following: Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Nebraska,
Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin-11-
The Democrats will have majority
in the following: Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Connecticut, Colorado, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi. Missouri, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, West
Virginia--19.
In Rhode Island there has been no
choice by the people and Congressional
elections will have to be held over
again. In New Hampshire the delega-
tion is. equally divided. Conceding
Rhode Island to the Republicans the
count stands: Democratic States, 10,
Republican States, Is, with New Hamp-
shire not able to, vote either way.

their oath in a court of law they some
times are unable to swear that the
prisoner in the dock is the man who
presented the check for payment, as
they have only seen him for an in
slant and in the midst of hurrying
crowd. In future they will be spared
the difficulty. If at any time they

The Catacombs of Kiev.

What a man who went down into the
catacombs at Kiev saw there is told thus ::
We are in rock-cut chamber.
Presently we reach the last coffin con-
tanning the body of certain holy Semon.
The cloth shrouding his remains is
thrown back over the chest, and in the
semi-darkness l catch glimpse of
what really locks like a human face.
The effect of this upon the peasants in
front OF me is electrical. With what
sounds like howl, but is in reality q
CRY for mercy and compassion, they
throw themselves upon the hard ground,
and, with streaming eyes, kiss the pol
ished coffin again and again. But the
fervor does not last long. The men
soon recover themselves, and rise and
move off to where our conductor is busy
unlocking an iron door at the end of
the passage. | am then able to approach
the coffin and view the contents there.
A glance suffices to show that what L
took for human face is only a wax
mask, poorly modelled. l now draw
the shroud Just trifie lower over the
chest, so as to uncover the body little,
and find that the rest Of the sain: Is

OlD-FASHlONED WOOING.
How COurtship Was Carried On in the
Fifteenth Century.

There is a beautiful old-fashioned
wooing recorded in the journal of
Elizabeth WOodville, previous to her
marriage with Lord Grey. This lady
afterward became the Queen of Edward
W, and died in 1856. She describes a
certain blissful Monday on which she
first became acquainted with Lord
Grey. The lady rose at four in the
morning and helped Catherine, the
dairy-maid, to milk the cows. Then
she made Il pOultice for Rachael, an
other dairy-maid, and gave Robin 4
penny to get pill from the apothecary.
At six o'clock she breakfasted on Il
bullock of beef and beer, "a little of
the stalest." At seven o'clock she
rode matter of six miles on a little
pony without saddle or bride. At ten
o'clock she dined, and thus runs the
entry in her diary: Event to dinner
John Grey, most cOmely yOuth-but
what is that to me? A virtuOuS maidea

her parents. John Grey ate but little
and stole 4 great many tender looks ut
me. John Grey likes white teeth; my
Geeth are of n pretty good color. L
think, and my hair is as black as jet,
though l say it, and John, if L mistake
not, is of the same opinion" At eleven
o'clock she walked in the fields with
The company. John Grey lifted her
over every stilc, and ''twice squeezed
my hand with great vehemence. :" At
three in the afternoon farmers house
was burned down. John Grey pro-
posed subscription on the spot. and
gave four pounds himself. ''Never
saw him look so comely as at that
moment" says the lady in her diary.
Four o'clock saw her at prayers, and
Immediately afterward she fed the hogs
and poultry. At seven o'clock she
supped on baked goose-pie and pork.
roasted to rags" At nine o'clock
she was in bed, and, having good
digestion, she dreamed about her lover
instead of demons, which, according
to Fuseli. generally visit the slumbers
of the individual who INDUCES in a
supper of pork. But how quaint,
peaceful and pastoral is the last entry.
