VOTE TO SEAT DUPONT.
Committee Makes Favorable Re-
port on the Delaware
Contest,

Washington, d. c., Feb. 17.-In the
Senate today the following report was
made OH the Delaware senatorial con-
test:
The report begins with an account of
the proceedings of the Delaware Legis-
lature on the Sth of last May, when.
it is claimed Mr.. Dupont was elected
1t shows that in joint assembly the Leg
islature of that state numbers thirty
members, sixteen of whom constitute
Il majority, and that at the time of the
election William L. Watson, who had
been elected q member of the state Sen
ate and also speaker of the Senate, was
acting as governor of the state, leaving,
If he was not entitled to sit as senator,
tWenty-nine legislators to constitute the
joint assembly and making fifteen a
majority. 1t is also shown that Mr..
Dupont received fifteen votes.
The committee concludes that "the
whole question of the right of Mr.. Du-
pont to seat in the United States Sen
ate, as claimed, turns upon the single
question: Had Mr.. Watson, then hold
ing and exercising the office of governor
of the state of Delaware, a right under
the constitution of that state and the
laws of the land to exercise the office
of state senator, and as such to sit in the
joint assembly on May 8, 1895, to be
counted therein in making up the num-
to vote therein for United States SEN
ator?
The committee says that Mr. Watson
did not have this right and lays down
a number of propositions as the basis
for its conclusion.
The committee therefore enuncates
the declaration that son May 8, 1895.
the date upon which Mr.. Dupont claims
to have been elected, the Legislature
of the state of Delaware consisted of
but twenty-nine members; there we're in
the joint assembly on that date but TWEEN

titled to seats in such joint assembly
and entitled 70 be counted and vote there

LAS Mr. Dupont received fifteen votes.
being a majority of the whole number
entitled TO be cast in such joint assem-
bly, and a majority of all the legal votes
cast therein, he was legally elected SEN
ator from the state of Delaware for
the full term commencing March 4,
1895, and IS entitled to be seated.
The committee also takes the position
that 1.-The fact that such election is not

does not invalidate such election in any

IRON MAKERS ARE HOPEFUL.
Believe that Larger Demand is Not
Far Ahead.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 14.-Ihe Iron
Trade Review this week will say:
While there is no pronounced increase in
mill tonnage from week to week the feeling
in the iron market continues hopeful. A
significant feature is the general steadiness
of prices on finished material with so many
mills only partly employed. The confidence
that larger demand is not far ahead serves
to hold prices where they are and mills
seem unwnnng to make the sharp cuts that
might result in fuller order books, wanting
rather to be in position to take business at
a profit as the demand grows. Conditions
governing the pig iron market have not
changed. a production in January in eX-
cess of consumption caused some settling OF
prices on foundry grades but the lowest
prices on Southern irons are not made by
the largest interests in that section. Re-
ports from the East indicate stationary
prices with more liberal buying of foundry
iron. Mills are getting to the point at
which more business must be had If the
moderate January pace of operations is
kept up, but there appears general belief
that the awaited movement will materialize
in time to hold the present basis.
