another defeat in the declaration of Senator
Stanford that he is against that measur :,
and is decidedly in favor Of the transaction
of public business. After the vote OF yester-
dav the only remaining hope Of the Republi-
cans was that senator stanford would sus-
tain them and vote TO again take up the
cloturs resolution as the only means OF
passing the Force bill.
/ The recent storm having interrupted tele-
graphic communication there was no means
Of promptly ascertaining from Mr.. Stanford
/ his exact attitude. Immediately after the
controversy Of Yesterday, both Senators
| stewart and Aldrich telegraphed Mr. stan
/ ford. who was AZ the Windsor Hotel IN New
/ York, requesting responses that WOulu au-
/ tborize "A statement of his position. But as
the wires were down the kilograms remain
cd in Washington. Meantime Mr.. stanford
not aware OF the pending contest, had tele-
/ graphed Stewart requesting that ne par

telegram did not leave New ork.
ARACE AFTER STANFORD.
As explained III The TINES dispatches
/ last nig I. both Stewart and Aldrlch lett
here late inthe afternoon bent upon per-
sonal interview with Mr.. stanford. Neither
Senator knew of the others intentions untll
! they met a. passengers on the limited ualh'
When they reached New York each hur-

RAPIDLY driven 10 the Windsor. lhe TWO
Senators representing opposing sides OF the
question OF yeracity raised IN the senate
yesterday, again confronted each otner at
the Windsor, and promptly requested that
their ca rds bee sent to senator stanford.
The latter WAS suffering from M
iuries sustained i'm an accident to his car
riage during the forenoon, and under
directions oi his attending physician had 10
decline seeing his Senatorial colleagues.
But be authorized his secretary Colonel
John b. Mccarthy To speak for him, ana ne
stated that Mr.. stanford favored laying
aside political measures ard taking up pub
lie business. and would have SO voted had
be been in tue senate. Colonel Mccarthy
also stated that Mr. stanford had hled tel
egram authorizing Mr. stewart TO pair him
nm favor of layu- aside clOture for any
measure OF general interest This was a
sore disappointment 10 senator Aldrich. who
left the hotel in disgust ana disappointment
and went 10 his home in Rhode Island.
SENATOR HEARsT's CONDITION.
Now. though the attitute Of Senator
Stamford su-t1lns the action of the senate
Yesterday, IT. does not finally settle the de-
feat of the Force bill There are several
contingencies that may arise TO give II an
other chance: one is the dangerous con-
diron of senator Hearst. of California. lie
may die at any nom NJ, and Indeed, hls
condition II such a. Ia Indicate that M
cannot survive much longer As the
Governor and legislature of California are
Republican Mr. Hearst would be succeed
eG by member Of that party and tue I'M
preston Is that supporter ul lhr fOrce bill
would be chosen. But without regard To
the choice of a senator the DEAN oi senator
Hearst would deprive the Democrats
oT one vote. He is now pared
with Republican supporter Of The Force
bin. thus deprying that side, While Inc
California Senator lives, of one vote. His
death would naturally break the palr' ana
that would on tue question OF resumlng
consideration Of cl)ture, make the vote
tie. 10 Is generally conceded that In such
an event the Nice-Prcsident would east MS
vote with the majority Of hi, party which
would again BRING the question Of clOture
and OF the Force bin before the senate
OF course should stanford remain firm ana
vote against the Force Dlll, that would
neutraiiZe the loss OF Hearst. and leave the
question as il stood yesterdiy. But. aside
from these close considerations, it Is under
stood that there are Republicans who are
unwilling 10 vote atirmatiyely % waste
more time OF the session.
FIGHT AGAINST CAMERON.
\ moe malignant light is being made on
senator Cameron because Of his vote yes
terday. Every possible influence is being
excrted 10 induce him % change, or to al
least take "a position that will aid his party
in passing the Force bill. II IS not in ma
ture for even a man Of senator CamerOn'r
courage to entirely withstand or resist the
assaults upon him. To several Republican
members OF the Pennsylvania Legislature
who called upon him tO-iay 10 protest
against his vote OF Yesterday, Mr. Cameron
explained that he had not voted against the
Force bill. He was reminded Of pledges
made in his behalf in the Republican eau
Gus which gave him denomination. Mr.
Cameron replied that these pledges oDll-
gated him 10 vote for the Election bill, and
thar he had not yet declined to do so. He
said the question Yesterday was 10 take up
a bill which the Pennsylvania Legislature
had declared 10 be Of great import
ance; that in order 10 enable all
State Legislatures now IN session 10
redistrict the states, il is Of the greatest i'm
pOrtance 10 pass the AppOrt0nment bill at
the earliest possible date. Senator Came
ron said he considered that he was voting
in accordance with the interests and wishes
of the people Of Pennsylvania, as the action
in taking up the AppOrli0nment bill did net
preclude further consideration OF the rOTce
| bill.
The Repu )lican advocates Of the Force
J bill pretend 10 have derived much satisfac-
ton from Camersn's explanation. They
COnstrue il 10 mean that he Will yet vote to
resume consideration Of that Odlous meas
ure.
The Democrats express confidence that
Mr. Cameron will remain firm, that he has
the courage and manhood 10 MAINTAIN his
position. They recall the tact that when he
voted in favor Of seating senator Butler, Of
south Carolina, whose right was contested
| bv Corbin, Republican, Cameron was as
sailed and denounced Just as he Is
now. For days before the vote
was taken, it was known that Cameron in
tended t. vote for Butler. That was AT "A
period when sectional animOslty was much
more bitter than at present. Every possible
pressure was brought to bear upon Cameron
/ az that time 10 bring him into party line, but
| he resisted. and 1t Is now believed he Will as
sert his manhood.
CAMERON 40 FOOL.
A Republican member Of the House from
! Pennsylvania said this afternoon:
II do not expect anything from Cameron.
| While il is true that he did not vote directly
! against the Elections OIL, n luilg IedllIeu
thar his vote involved the killing Of that
measure. and he meant II TOO. He j. no
tool. He knew what he was doing. | re-
gard Cameron as more Of a Democrat than
a Republican, and you will see that
he will continue TO vote with his Democratic
friends. lie IL allied with the southern
Democrats socially, and through them he
has been induced 10 invest several hundred
thousand dollars in the south. He feels
like one Of them and votes like one OF
them.'
INGALLS,.
There has been some talk as 10 the pOssl-
bility of Senator ingalls, changing his atti-
tude. now that he has been defeated, but
nobody with sense believes he will thus
stultify himself.
CAPITAL NOTES.
The senate to-day passed the bill TO
authorize the Norfolk and Western Kali.
