MARYLAND's sENATORsHIP.
The Democrats May Break the Re-
uubIican Deadlock.

Annapolis, Md, Jan. 1S.-The first week
of the balloting for a United States sem
ator to succeed Charles Hopper Gibson is
concluded, and the matter seems no near
err settlement than last Tuesday, when
the voting commenced. Though there is
no great change in the vote, there is a
considerable difference in the general as
meet of affairs. There is more display of
feeling among the various candidates and
their friends than at first, and strict lines
are being developed between the several
factions 1t is likely that these lines will
last out the session, if not longer. ALI
ances that looked as solid as a rock after
election day have been fundamentally
disrupted by the senatorial fight.
Meantime the democra IS are enjoying
tbe spectacle. They may, however, soon
become a factor in the fight. Should the
deadlock continue much longer either the
Gorrnan men or the anti-Gorman men
can settle the matter by throwing their
votes to either of the leaders in the SEN
sforial race. BY doing this the demo-
rats would get the credit of breaking
the deadlock, and they are seriously con-
sidering the matter.
To-dav,s vote was: wellington, q;
coidsborough, 20; Westcott, 13; Multi
Ken e. Dixon and Mudd, / each. Smith
and Page again received the compliment
tary democratic vote.

LUDDEN & BATES-IATHUsHE
The Facts Regarding the COmbina-
ton.

From Musical Courier, n. Y.
The closer combination of interests Of
Ludden & Bates. the Great Southern Mu-
sic House. and the Mathushek Piano Man
ufacturing Company, of New Haven, of
which mention has already been made
in these columns, and which has given
rise to an erroneous impression regard
ing the exact relations of the two houses.
is another step in the policy Of the south
ern firm to organize and conduct their
business on modern business methods.
For years the Ludden e. Bates concern has
handled the Mathushek pianos, created
a market for them and disposed of large
numbers of them. The pianos have al
ways been highly appreciated by them,
as are the other pianos they represent
But the house recognized that the day
of the Jobber pure and simple is rapidly
passing. if indeed IL has not already pass
ed The leading spirits of the house saw
the changes in the conditions of the trade,
and some time ago they resolved to place
themselves on a manufacturing basis.
They purchased a factory in New York,
and have been turning out Ludden &
Bates pianos here and disposing of the
entire product of their factory
Still seeking to work on broader basis,
they entered into negotiations with the
Mathushek concern, with the result that
they have purchased an interest In that
business, thus establishing them more
firmly than ever on manufacturing ba-
sis. The impression that Ludden &, Bates
were simply to have some pianos made
for them and stencilled 'Mathushek,"
an impression created by the published
misinformation of some Of the trade pa
pers, is an erroneous one. Ludden &
Bates will push the Mathushek pianos
more vigorously than they ever have done
and in the same legitimate manner.
Ludden & Bates wish 1t distinctly under
stood that they are firmly opposed to the
stencil; so much opposed that they man
ufactured on their own account to escape
any connection with illegitimate pianos.
The house in this latest move is demon
strating it's modernity as regards the con-
duct of it's business. Its plans are all laid
for an extension, and becoming more
closely connected with manufacturing in
terests is a step toward the realization of
these plans The house is now interested
in two piano factories, has eight large
main house in Savannah, and has a large
number of representatives at other south
ern points. t-4ifor ir,-o, -r,t.-f
The line of pianos heretofore handled.
including the Steinway and Mason &
Hamlin, will be continued and more vigor-
ously pushed than ever.

harmony with this idea. 1t is pronounced

made undert the auspices of the en-
t-epreneurs, Abbey, SchOeffel and Grau,
This season he made the determination
IN visit the important cities of the South.
II must be remembered that Irving. by
his productions, can receive no assist
srce from any local stage possessions,
such as scenery, properties, etc. This is
,ouauy true of New York, as it is of
e1v smaller city. When he reached this
country last September, either in advance
Of his coming or with him. came no less
than 200 tons of scenery, costumes, &C
cessories, appointments. Every smallest
as we'll as greatest requirement for his
rlavs was prepared in London at his
au-n ROYAL Lyceum theater and trans
ferred to the United States. To come
here necessitates sending in advance his
scenery and properties, while in addition
10 the handsome hotel car lolanthe, and
three Pullman palace sleeping cars, nine
baggage cars are needed to bring the re-
mainder of the scenery, costumes and
ouch material The train IS praeucaiily

corps and his associates upon the stage
for over a months journey through the
south and southwest
The production of Irving's first visit here

Probably no other work in lrving's roper

Irving's Shylock has the centra,
idea of the oppression of the
Jewish race and the hope of his re

pressors. The personality of the money
