Mckaig will be unanl mously renomi mated in
the Sixth district and there are good reasons
% believe he will be again elected.
Ills Republican opponent will probably
be George Wellington, now Assis-
tant United States Treasurer az
Baltimore. McCOmas. who was defeated two
years ago by Mckaig. is anxious TO make the
tight again. but II is doubtful if be can get
the nomination. McComas obtained the ap-
pointment of Assistant Treasurer for Yelling
ton. with the understanding chat the latter
would keep out Of the congressional field
Instead of complying with this agreement
Wellington has used bis place 70 strengthen
himself in the contest for the congressional
nomination. McCOmas and his friends
charge Wellington with a breach of faith
Wellington retorts that McComas during
his service in Congress, made 20 many enc.
mics that he could not be elected If nomi-
mated. Thus the Republicans of the district
are divided into two warning factions while
the Democrats are united harmonious aud
confident The indications are that Maryland

Whatis IL Said AboutIt.

NEW YORK. May 5.-What will al
most certainly be the last meeting
Of the lcott committee as at
present constituted, for the reorganization
of the Richmond Terminal Company will be
held tomorrow afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. At
that time it is understood that sharp issues
will be drawn which Will compel either a
change in the committee. radical change IN
the reorganization plan, or both.
It was currently reported to-day that Dir.
+. i. Olcott's resignation as chairman of the
committee. will be received. Mr. Olcotts
bad health has kept him from his work ever
since the plan was published. and As tLers Is
no certainty as = when he will be able - re-
sumo his duties it Is thought that he Will re
tire from the committee The report could
not be confirmed. Other changes IN the com
mittee are also looked for though it is I'M
possible at present to say what those changes
will be.
THE oLcOTT PLAN A FAILURE.
One thing however, is assured. and that is
that the famous OlcOtt plan is dead and thht
its early withdrawal is inevitable. Since the
last publication of the amount of underlying
securities deposited. some three weeks ago,
only about $500 OJO. 10 IS said. nave neen
