financial assistance. | think all hc

to be on the inside and made deposits

Tn Select a United States Senator.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Jan. 9.-There will be a cancus of Democratic members of tho General Assembly tonight to nom mate candidate for successor to U. $. Senator E. K. Wilson. whose term expires March 3, 1891. Gov. Jackson launched forth boomlet week ago. but it is rapidly swamping, and it is said that his name will not be pre- sented to the caucus. The popular op- position to the politicians ldea of send ing Jackson to the Senate is over- whelming. He is very wealthy. and the agitation in the other States against sending men to the Senate for the sole reason that they are million aires. has had it's effect in Maryland. Senator Wilson's path to a second term is clear. and he will probably be nominated to night by exclamation.

 That the Attorney-General be and is hereby instructed to inform tho Senate what instructions, if any. the Depart ment of Justice has given to $. x.

Senator Voorhees, Makes a Bitter Speech on the ''Blocks of Five" Letters-His
 Resolution Defeated by a Party vote-
 Tho President Has |. Slight Attack of tue Grip.
 WASHINGTON. Jan. 9.-The latest re- port is that Judge Kelley is very low, and his dseth is only question of Q few hours.
 Judge w. D. Kelley was born in Philadelphia, in 1914, and his title, ''The Father of the House." was given h1m because he mas spent twenty-eight years successively in the House of Rep resentatlves. For the last two sessions 1t was apparent to hls friends that he lacked the vlCor of speech that h. ad al- ways characterized him, and when the ii first congress opened he was still strong enough to swear in Speaker Thomas B. Reed. It was on account of his feeble condition that he declined the honor of the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committed, (which Mir. Reed offered him. The Speaker then appointed the Judge chairman of the Committee on Manufactures, but Judge Kelley was too sick to attend to the duties regularly.
 At the opening of & new Congress, by unanimous consent, Judge kelley "ouhu Oc IC1Iot0O AEOLn tue lOCU0rY ScAL drawing. No one in the House will be more missed than Judge Kelley. While not taking an active partin general leg islation, when he took part in debate it never lacked for spirit. It was al- ways, however, when on the tariff that ha felt most at home. and he reJoiced in the title of the champion of protec- tion.
 Judge Kelley studied law while work ing journeyman jeweler. In the 40s he was chosen Prosecuting Attorney for Philadelphia, being then Democrat. He served ten years on the Common Pleas bench, and then, because of his anti-slavery views. he became Repub- lican. He was . delegate to the Ma tional Republican Convention at Chi cago in 1880, and supported Abraham Lincoln. His election to the 37th Con- gress followed. and he has been suc- cessively reelected ever since.
