PossIBILIrIEs IN THE SENATE.
RIddlSbeFgsr aud Van wyCk May Hold the
balance Of Power,

|
WASHINGTON, Nov, Git begins to look
as II the U, s, Senate, after next March,
will be so evenly divided as to render itS
political complexion matter Of some
doubt, On the Sd Of next March the
terms Of sixteen Republican and nine
Democratic Senators will expire, The
Republicans whose term will then end are:
Messrs, Williams (recently elected, OF Cali,
formal Hawey, Of Connecticut; Harrison,
Of Indiana; Hale, Of Maine Dawes, OF Mas.
saChusetts; Oonger, OF Michigan MCMil-
Ian, OF Minnesota; Van WycE, OF Nebras-
ka; sswell, Of New Jersey Miller, Of New
York; Sherman, OF Ohio; Mitchell, OF
Pennsylvania; Aldrich, OF Rhode leland;
Edmunds,i Of Vermont; Malone OF Vir-
ginia, and Sawyer, OF Wisconsin. On the
Democratic side the terms OF Messrs,
Gray, OF Delaware; Jones, Of Florida,
German, oil Maryland George, OF Mississ.
ippt Oockrell, ot Missouri Fair, OF Neva.
dR; Whitthorne, OF Tennessee; Mickey, OF
Texas, and Camden, Of West Virginia,
will end.
OF the sixteen Republicans who will re-
tire twelve will certainly be succeeded by
men Of the same party, Messrs, sher.
man, AldrlCh and Edmunds have been re-
elected, and the Legislatures Of Oonnecti,
cut Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Penn.
sylvania and Wisconsin are Republican.
The Democrats lose one OF the nine
whose terms expire-Fair, OF Nevada-and
are secure OF the remainder. So that, II
the Legislatures Of California, Indiana
and New Jersey prove to be Democratic,
the result Of the change IN the Senate, az
ter the third Of March, will be net los OF
three to the Republicans, Democrat hay
Ing been chosen to succeed Malone from
Virginia.
The present Senate stands iorty.oue Re.
publtcans, thirty.four Democrats and one
Readiuster lRlddlebsrgsr). Leaving Van
Wyck and Riddlebergsr out OF the count,
the next Senate will ssaud-proylded the
Democrats secure the three doubtful
States meutionod-thirty.seven Republic
cans, thlrty.seven Democrats. Thus
Messrs. Van WyCk and Rlddleberger
would hold the balance OF power. In the
event Of any conflict between the Ex.
eCutive and the Senate, the two votes from
Nebraska and Virginia would determine
the iaaue,

a NEW PROBLEM
ARISING Out Of the Election of senators and
Lieutenant Governor to Congress,


OoLVMBus, 0aIo, Nov. 6--In view ol
the election OF the Lieutenant, Governor
and two Senator'S to Congress from this
State, Q new problem arises, and that 10
whether the Senators should resign now,
90 that their successors can be elected beI
fore the meeting Of the Legislature in
January, or whether the business OF the
General Assembly can bs pushed so that
the Legislature can adjourn on the 81 OF
March, the Congressional term OF the
Senators in question begiunipg on the 4th
OF that month. The State Senate Is com.
posed Of thirtY.seVen members, twenty.
one Republicans and sixteen Democrats,
II requires nineteen votes 10 pass bill.
So Il will be seen that when the two
Republican Senator'S retire on the 4th OF
March, the Republicans would yet have
enough votes to pass bill, provided no
accidents should happen or vacancy oC,
cur, OF course, tho Democrats could not
rise above sixteen votes, and would, there
fore, be harmless,
There are members OF the Legislature
who think that the work OF the sassion
cad be completed by the Sd Of March, and
they prefer that 1t should. The estimates
Of the public institutions will be in soon,
or ought to be, so that the respective FL
nance Committees can prepare the appro-
prlRtion bills and have them ready for In
production at she beginning Of the session
OF the Legislature In January. All needed
legislation can b. passed Ia two months II
members coma here determined to do the
work In that time, A Legislature could
remain here continuously and have a
large calendar Of bills before 1t al the
time. There Is danger in long sessions Of
Legislative bodies, Experiences shows that
time does not add particle to the value
Of Laws passed.

New YoRK, Nov. O.-The street car
companies Of this city are searching fol
some practical aud cheap motive power
to supplant horse flesh and enable them
to compete on more favorable terms with
the elevated roads. On the Eighth Ave.
nue. Surface Line, an electric car has been
experimental with this week, late at
night, running from the Fiftieth street
stables TO One hundred and sixth street.
tis an ordinary horse car, carrying under
the seats charged accumulators enough to
run 1t 90 miles, Or, with frequent stops, to
last from s to 10 hours.
aThe car was exhibited OF. Vienna and
Antwerp, and was run for some time on
the regular line in Brussels. Two Of a
similar pattern are now running In Paris.
Two men are required To run the car, q
receiver and conductor. So far as the op.
Grafton Of the electric motor Ia
concerned, the trials have been
satisfactory, but some time will
be needed to determine the cost OF
electricity as compared with horse power.
The car will be put on tho regular day
service next week, and given q public
trial. One Of the cars Is to be sent 10
Philadelphia for trial there also.

Alarms,
Early Saturday morning an alarm from

In the evening about o'clock the nat
ural gas In the pipes OF the West Virginia
company increased its pressure suddenly
and TO an alarming extent through the
fouling OF drum on the line. The ditll-
Guilty was quickly repaired, but there
were narrow escapes from fires In num-
ber Of houses, including the INTRLuaRNcRR
and Register offices and Second Presby-

prevented serious results. A wash house
