me, and substituted their own hirelngs.

ture were seated as elected, l would have
a majority of the votes.
but now the next Senate will have to
decide between the claims of two men from
the little State. / don't know who the
other will be, but will be one Of Them
Il hope the Senate will decide the legisla-
ture which elects me the legitimate one, but
even if does not, will succeed in placing
before the eyes of the people in this country
the corruption which was rampant in the
recent Delaware election, and which oper
ated against me-"
''Will there be any action further than
your election as Senator taken by the sec
ond legislature?"
Il have nothing further to saw" replied
Mr.. Addicks. 'At present 1 am interested
solely in this election, and am busying my
self with nothing else''

firmnesS were Illinois Steel and Wheeling
and Lake Erie. The former dropped per
cent 30 32, Wheeling and Lake Erie 1 to
ga, and the preferred 3 to IL.
There were no new developments to ac-
and the decline was attributed to sales by
tired-out holders. The general list scored
advances of -4a3-4 per cent, sugar lead
ing.
The traders were inclined to work for a
further rally in the leading specialties, and
paid little attention to the coffee war and
the poor railway earnings reported for the
first week of January.
London was small buyer of st. p Paul and
Louisville and Nashville, and this encour-
aged those operating for higher prices.
Chicago Gas was higher, on the talk of
another dividend OF 1 . per cent, and sold
up TO rs 3-8. The other gas stocks were
quiet, sugar advancing ga to 112 3-S, and
the other prominent shares SASS per
cent. Speculation at IL O'Clock was
firm
Stocks, after o'clock, were irregular,
but in the main weak. Sugar was the most
active, and on moderately heavy sales re-
ceded to l IL rs. The general list ran off

Among the arrivals at the Hotel yelling
TOMS G. w. Weymouth, of Fitchburg, Mass ,
tile newly-elected Congressman from that
State, and his wife.
Mr.. Weymouth says that he is here to
look over the battlefield before the time
of action. He feels certain that there will
be an extra session, and he wishes to
make the necessary arrangements and
form certain desirable acquaintances in
advance of taking up his residence here
Speaking of politics in Massachusetts,,
Mr.. Weymouth said that there is a dispo-
sition to let the Allen episode die out. The
colored man was duly elected by the Re-
publicans; his election was certified: he
was acknowledged by his associates in the
council, and took his seat. There the mat
ter rests. There is no truth in the talk OF
discrimination against the new member,
as he has been placed on some Of the very
best committees.
Another matter in which he is Interested
is the candidacy of Gov Long OF his State
for Cabinet position. Gov. Long, he said,
has the Endorsement of all New England
His friends claim that he is of Cabinet
caliber and slate him for Secretary of State
or War.

Patrolman West added to his statement
a word in behalf of the saloon, saying that
he had never observed any disorder there.
For a time, nearly all of the interested
