lIELETA. Feb. l3.-ISpecial to TIM
TRIBUNE. Midnight. The democratic
Legislators who have been voting for
Dixon issued an address tonight to those
who have been voting for Clark, The
democrats, with the assistance Of the
the balloting for more than a month
they have been unable to agree on a can
didate. The address says: 1T is doubt
ful if either Of the present candidates
can be elected and only about sixteen
days of the present session remain. We
believe the time has come when all good
and true democrats should disregard
their personal preference and unite upon
some honest and capable democrat
outside Of any Of the Candi-
dates who have heretofore been
prominent and elect him senator
Continuing, they say their preferences
are for Dixon, but they don't believe he
or any other man should stand in the
way of democratic success. They have
his assurance and promise to withdraw
Internationally and absolutely from the
contest if Clark will do the same. I'VE
will not" the address says, under any
circumstances, vote for Clark for sena-
tor. IF, however, any other democrat
can be agreed upon between you and US,
Clark will withdraw absolutely and I'M
conditionally, Dixon viii! do the same,
and we will vote for such democrat and
do all in our power to secure his election
as fenator." 1l@y ion I believe that any
democrat has a mortgage on the sena-
torship and they request the Clark dem
ocrats to nam n or more candidates,
aside from Clark, whom they are willing
to support. 1t is insisted that the popu-
lists have a voice in the selection, 1t is

General Outbreak Over Europe Expected
Next summer.
BERLIN, Feb. 1l.-De kempster. a
special health officer Of the United States,
has just arrived in Berlin after a tour of
inspection in Hamburg, Bremen, Cassel
and Miettenben. He told a newspaper
representative today that he was con-
WINGED that the present year would see a
fierce outbreak of CHOLERA all over the
continent, and instead of being aporadic,
as in 1892, the plague would sweep the
whole of Europe. He related incidents
connected with his visit to certain large
towns where he said local sanitary re-
ports were unreliable. DIR. Kempster
also discovered discrepancies between
the published figures on cholera and the
number of cases registered on the gov
eminent lists, showing that the figures
were kept from the public.
Regarding rags imported to the United
States from foreign ports, DIR. kempster
was inclined to agree with the suggestion
of Consul General Edwards. He thinks
disinfection on arrival in the states would
be surer and more effective thar mere
disinfection before shipment.

that the child Of a famous spellcr breaks
