WASHINGTON. Jan. l9.-The senate i,
still in state Of deadlock on the Lodge
elections bill The session which began
Friday aeon lasted all night and extended
without break until Saturday night at
o'clock, a continuous session Of thirty
hours. Mr.. Faulkner broke the record as
long speaker. His purpose was to talk
on an amendment until the Republican
senators were tired out and he held the
moor for twelve hours. He was succeeded
by Mr. Daniel, who only spoke a short
time Several amendments to the bill
were then tabled. At O'Clock a truce
was declared, and the weary statesmen ad
Jcurned until noon today
They May Shut on Debate.

effected, to other radical changes that will
be permanent. The crisis in the senate Is
at hand. The fate OF tho elections bin
viii probably be determined at caucus
OF Republican senators this evening held
to devise a mode Of procedure during the
pendency OF the bill.
At this caucus plans for disposing OF the

arrangement will be effected, although the
