HARYLAND's sENATORsHIP.
Wellington Gains -Four Votes and
GOIdsbOrOugh Three.

Annapolis. Nd. Jan. 1.-THE republicans
in the Maryland General Assembly are
becoming FESTIVE and some are ready TO
break ranks and put an end to the sena-
torial deadlock. Those who are inclined
to break away are inspired By the belief
that the experiences OF Delaware shouid
not be repeated in Maryland. To-day
vote was fru5tless, except that the two
leaders IN the race improved their posi-
tons a trihe Wellington gained four
votes and GOldsborOugh three. Senator
Dryden withdrew from the contest ana
announced his preference as being MI
because OF his withdrawal Senator Dry
den will get the nomination for congress
from his district
The COMMITTEES on organization of the
House to-day decided to hold a caucus
this evening with the idea of bringing the
SenatOrShip question TO an early settle
ment- Speaker Mudd was responsible Ior
the call, and II was stated that ne was
anxious to secure an expression OF APP
proval or disapprOval on the subject OF
sustaining or OVerTuling in a body, the
eastern shore law. As all of the candi-
dates are eastern shore men, except Well
ingtOn, il was very easy to see that the
object OF the caucus was to smut o on,
the Wellington forces, and then settle the
question between Goldsborough, Westcott
and Mulliken.
The wellington men thoroughly under
stood this and declined to enter the eau
Gus room. FOrty-four of the ninety-one
members of the House assembled, and
after belng.in session behind locked doors
for over two hours, all those present
signed a call for party caucus to be
held Monday night to name candidate
for senator.
None of Mr.. Wellington's followers
signed the call and Mr.. Wellington him
self says that he will not be bound by the
caucus, should it attempt to pass any
| resolution restricting the choice to an
eastern shore man.
The ballot to-day was; Wellington. so;

The Attorney General to Bring Two
Suits to Enforce Penalties.

The Attorney Generai TO Bring Two
Suits TO Enforce Penalties.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 17.-Attorney General
Terrell is preparing papers TO bring suit
against the Central railroad to collect
the penalty allowed by the law when rail-
roads refuse to comply with the orders
of the state railroad commission. The
order which the Central has refused to
obey, and upon which the suit is TO be
based, was <one directing the Central TO
accept certain cars rendered by the Geor-
gia railroad. The order referred to the
acceptance of cars of fertilizers billed
from North Carolina. The Central would
not take them, because they were not
billed so as to give the Central longer
haul than it received as handled by the
Georgia road.
Suit is also to be filed by the railroad
commission against the Eatonton Branch
railroad to collect q penalty for the re-
fusal to obey the order of the commits
sion requiring 1t to make certain improve
ments in its roadbed by laying new ties
and rails. The penalty in the case is not
less than $1,000 and not more than 5000.

Lansing, Mich. Jan. ia convention
of advocates of free coinage of silver at
a ratio of 16 to l. made up of delegates
from both the democratic and republican
parties, was held here yesterday, and the
field was canvassed for the formation of
a party and the putting of a guberna-

to issue an address to the people, setting
forth the financial condition from a free
silver standpoint, and await the action
of the two old parties upon the issue in
their national conventions. If such silver
legislation as they demanded was not put
in the platforms, then a convention should
be called for the formation of a free sill
