Utab's Senatorial Deadlock.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Feb 1.-The result
of the last of the seven senatorial ballots
taken to-day was: Thatcher ~ Rawlins 19
Henderson H. Critchlow ;. Through the
seven ballots Henderson held his fourteen
votes of Saturday, while Thatcher lost one
and Rawlins gained six. The most radical
changes occurred on the first ballot, and it
was mainly a contest between Thatcher
and Rawlins. While there has been a slight
variation in the strength of the leading
candidates the result of to-days balloI-
ing, the deadlock seems no less pronounced
than it was last week. the last six ballots
showing scarcely change in the voting.
There is rumor tonight that there will
be a break in the Henderson forces to-mor-
row, and that five or six of his followers
will go to Rawlins, and that the latter will
then receive the three Republican votes.
The friends of Henderson do not concede
that such "A break will occur. The four
PopulistS appear TO be the most uncertain
factor in the contest. While they are with
Thatcher now. il has been said their votes
will go to any one Of the three candidates
whenever it is shown that four votes will
elect.

cepted the Currency Controfiershtp.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-Charles G. Dawes said
this morning: The report that L have
been rendered and have accepted the future
appointment of controller OF the currency
is true. L have much regretted the early
publicity which has unavoidably attached
to the matter. for it seems TO nave given
rise to the inference that had some desire
or expectation of succeeding MIR. Eckels
prior to the expiration of his commission in
1895. 1 can say for myself, and L think 1
speak for all concerned. that L sincerely
hope Mr.. Eckels may see ms way clear TO
the retention or ms position until the eApl-
ration OF mis- commission. His distinguished
services as controller OF the currency,
rendered amid so many embarassments and
complications. have earned him the graft
tude OF the nation

trail system. In 1887 he left Ohio for Lin
coin, Neb.. where he became prominent as
a lawyer and business man. He was a

uleS of Nebraska about the time and after
the passage OF the interstate-commerce
law. He was also student of financial
questions, and i'm 1894 published a book en-
titled THE Banking System of the United
States and Its Relations to the Money and
Business of the Country" He has been for
many years a national bank director. In
1893 he became a resident of Evanston, ILL.,.
having become interested in the Northwest
ern Gas and Coke Company of that place
He was "A leader i'm the Mckinley move
ment in Illinois, which ended i'm instructions
for Mckinley at the Springfield convention.
He was then appointed by Mr. NJ. \. Hanna

tive committee of the Republican National

INJUNCTION GRANTED.

In June last the Port Norfolls rail-
road made appleton for lines in Park
View to run their track. At that time
no decided plans had been made about
what improvements would be made, and
the lines could not he given. The COM
pany was so notified by the city engi-
neer and the Port Norfolk company
laid IThcir track in accordance with the
grade then on that street Since then
the city has decided ito make extensive
improvements on Anne street, and be-
gan there before the Pom: smouth street
railroad laid their track which is al
most -four feet lower at the corner of
Anne street than the Port Norfolk road.
This stops the Portsmouth street rail-
road from crossing The Port Norfolk
road. The Portsmouth road completed
all along County street through Park
View to the ferry except ait this point.
On Monday the Portsmouth street rail-
read made application ITO have the Port
Noriolk read lower their track so as to
allow them to pass. An order was given
by The chairman of the Street Com
mtttee through the city surveyor to
nave the track lowered. On yesterday
the Port Norfolk road. through their
counsel, Mr.. Rumble, made application
before Judge a. s. Watts for an in
junction restraining the Portsmouth
road from interfering with their track.
The court. after hearing the applica-
trSn, granted temporary injunction.
Judge L.. X. Watts then moved that the
injunction be amended The court said
TO amend the injunction would be to
dissolve the same.
Judge Watts 'tihen asked that time be
given to hear the case. The court ask
ell how much time was wanted, and he
SAID two days. 50 the case was SGT for
Thursday. when an application will be
made 40 dissolve the Injunction and ev-
'nence VIII he produced to show why 1t
should be done. SO the counsel for the
portsmouth read says
he Port Norfolk rcld claims that IL
thc!r track is 10 bc moved that the city
should bear the expense, as they aske d
Tor grade and were given none. In order
10 grade the Port Norfolk road down to
the PORTSMOUTH read 1t will be nccessa-
ry to run back seventy-five feet each
crossing. EH

Hardening OF Prices Looked Lake q
Terminntionof the Bear Campaign

ton Observation-Disclosures Flour Dull,
Willie Chicago Wheat closed weak.

New York. Oct. 12-NIuch parade was
made yesterday of the alleged CONVEX
sion of some Of the leading bear opera
tors on the exchange to the bull side
OF the market. Todays developments
prove that there is very large and
aggressive contingent still left in the
market. The operation known In Wall
street parlance rs testing the market
had for several days failed to cause any
marked movement in either direction.
That is to say. short selling by the bears
had failed to induce any large liquida-
ton and purchases by the bulls had
equally failed to invite any large follow
eIS. Skilled observers had arrived at
the conclusion that the market was due
for a period of dullness. barring the de-
velopment' of some markedly significant
news. The hardening Of prices last
night and the further advance this
morning looked like termination of the
bear campaign. Yet in the final hours
Of the market the bears succeeded in
working n sharper decline throughout
the whole list than than has been ac-
compllshed on any one day of their
campaign. They had no new event
which could influence the values OF
stock TO aid them and no report of any
cessation in the Improvement of the
earning power of properties, the shares
In which are dealt In on the exchange.
The nominal motive of selling was the
fear that our relations with Spain were
in danger of rupture as an outgrowth Of
the policy which General Woodford was
ordered 10 pursue at Madrid The dis
patch from Madrid TO the Associated
Press carrying the semi-oflicial an
nouncement of the substance of Spain's
