THE RADICALS SURPRISED.
No Expectation on Their Part OF an I'm
portant yote--Tbe Outlook.
nv tole1ynnb IN tna Dianatco


WASHINGTON, January 26.-It is an un.
deniable fact that Senator Aldrich and the
other Republican senators were complete.
ly taken by surprise by the action Of the
Senate to-day in laying aside the closure
resolution and taking mp the apportion.
ment bill. There was no expectation or
their part that any important vote would
be reached to-day, and at least one Repnb.
lican senator who was in the city was told
that he might safely leave the Capitoi "a
attend to some departmental business
Consequently, he was not present when
the decisive votes were taken, and IL was
with difficulty that pair could be ar,
ranged for him.
Mr. Stanford is the only Republican re
corded as absent and impaired. His vote
for the motion TO table Senator WOlcott's
motion 10 take up the apportionment bill
would have defeated the motion, as the
resulting tie would have called for the
casting vote of the Vice President, without
doubt in favor of continued consideration
of the closure rule. The same result would
have followed the arrangement of pail
by Mr.. Stanford with Democratic senator
The move made to-day by Senator VOL
colt was thoroughly timely from his point
of view, for it was expected that IN the
course of forty-eight hours at most several
Republican senators, in addition to Mr
Stanford, who are now absent from the
city, would return, and if they had de
clined 10 pair the result might have been
different
The future course of events. according
10 MIR. Aldrlch. will depend largely upon
Mr. Stanford, whose position in regard 10
the closure rule. il is expected, will be
definitely ascertained as soon as he re
turns. Mr. Aldrich says that if Mr.. Stan.
ford agrees TO support the rule he will ask
the Senate to resume its consideration i'm
mediately. 1t is probable that the op.
posing forces in the Senate will MAINTAIN
the fullest possible attendance of all then
members from this time forward in order
to be prepared to take advantage of any
changes in the situation that accidental OF
other causes may bring about.

NV YoRE. January 26.--For the first
time in the history of the great telegraph
and telephone companies which centre IN
this city they are paralyzed. The storm
of yesterday was by all odds the worst
the telegraph companies have ever bad 70
deal with. An idea Of what wrecking OF
lines was done may be gathered from the
fact thst out of 1900 running oct OF tnis
city the Western Union Company had out
three wires working this morning. :,
The Postal Telegraph Company. actualiy
had not 1oRe wire working out from the
city, while the Metropolitan Telegraph
and Telephone Company roughly estiinate
that {, 800 of ITS wires have been laid low.
The total damage TO tho companies NEIL
toned is roughly estimated at $oOO.OOO.

Between Philadelphia and Trenton and
between that point and New brunswick

ed along the line Of the Pennsylvania road
Ali the eastern wires are down betwe. u
Williamsbridge and Stamford and oil the
western wires between Williamsbridge ana

in the neighborhood Of 1,5e0 wires rem
dered useless. They cannot be got into
complete working order for two weeks.
Il; NEW YORK CITY.
In this city the number of wires down
is roughly estimated at $500 and tho. poles
down or broken at $50. A thick, heavy
veil of mist shuts out from view the Long
Islond, New Jersey, and Staten Island
shores.
1t was impossible TO report any incoming
vessels from the highlands orSandy Hook;
The wires between this city and
Fire Island and Barnegat were also
down, and not ship was reported
from either place. Boston is now reached
by way of Montreal. In order to reach
California messages will be sent from here
to Port Chester, thence to Montreal, and

off from all quarters but London, and no
