TUESDAYS BALLOTING
WILL DECIDE CONTROL OF THE
SENATE
REPUBLICANS ARE HOPEFUL
That After March Fourth the PARTY of
Mark Hanna Will Have
Full Control
Associated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The control of
the United States senate will be determined
very largely by the result of the elections
next Tusday, when twenty-three states elect
legislatures, which will in turn elect sena-
tors. The present party strength in the
senate is as follows: Republicans 43, Demo-
Gratis "a, Populists 6, Silver Republicans q.
Ihs gives majority to no one party, and
it has proved fruitful source OF doubt in
legislation influenced by party lines.
The terms of thirty of the present sena-
tors are about to expire, and in most of
these cases the legislators chosen next Tues
day will elect successors. In seven cases,
however, legislatures have already been
of Rhode Island, Daniel of Virginia, Me
Comas to succeed German in Maryland,
Hanna of Ohio, Money of Mississippi, Proc
tor of Vermont, and the legislature of
Maine, which has been elected, but which
has not yet chosen senator. In Oregon,
These changes already made give a net gain
of two in the Republican vote-McComas
of Maryland and Simon of Oregon. The re-
naming twentythree senators are yet to be
chosen. Those who are about to retire are
Allen, Populist, of Nebraska; Bate, Demo.
erat, of Tennessee; Burrows, Republican, of
Utah; Clark, rep Republican, % lp1Heni Of Wyoming g;
Cockrell, Democrat, of Missouri; Davis, Re
publican, of Minnesota; Faulkner, Demo
crat, of West Virginia; Gray, Democrat, of
Delaware; Hawley, Republican, of Connect
icut; Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts;
Mantle, Silver Republican, of Montana
Mills, Democrat, of Texas; Mitchell, Demo.
crat, of Wisconsin; Murphy, Democrat, of
New York; Pascoe, Democrat, of Florida;
Quay, Republican, of Pennsylvania; Roach,
Democrat, of North Dakota; Smith, Dem
ocrat, of New Jersey; Stewart, Silver Re
publican, of Nevada; Turpie, Democrat, of
Indiana; White, Democrat, of California /;
and Wilson, Republican, of Washington. In
several of these cases the election Of the
present incumbents is expected, but in
quite large number of them much doubt
exists. The Republican managers are plac-
ing reliance on the fact that they need only
a few votes to secure them clear major
ity, while the Democrats, Populists and Sill
yer Republicans would have to carry nearly
all of the doubtful legislatures in order to
prevent Republican majority. The states
considered most in doubt are West Virginia,
New York, Pennsylvania, North Dakota,
New Jersey, Indiana California, Washing
ton and Nebraska, conflicting claims being
made in each state. Among senate officials
the opinion prevails that the anomalous
condition now prevailing of a senate without
a majority will end with the coming election
and that the legislators then chosen will
give assurance of majority rule in the upper
branch of congress after March 4th next.

THE PREsSMEN's STRIKE
Ends In Victory for the Newspaper
Proprietors

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-The strike
Of pressmen and stereotypers on the daily
papers has virtually ended in a victory fol
the publishers. The Sunday issues appeared
as usual, several outside engineers doing
duty in the press rooms, and men who had
previously been subs aided the stereo
typers who remained on duty. The strikers
have practically admitted their defeat by
asking that the matter be submitted to ar
bitration They demand, however, that the
non union men who have aided to prevent
the papers from suspending publication be
discharged This is not likely to be con
ceded, for the arrival of experienced work
men from the east is daily expected. In the
meantime the publishers are confident that
they can issue their papers with little, il
any, delay

TUNNEL THIRTEEN
Fire Stops Trains on the Central Pa
cific Road

SACRAMENTO, Nov. Ga very disas.
trous fire occurred this afternoon at tunnel
the summit and Truck The fire started
about 900 feet from the eastern end of the
tunnel and burned all the snowshedf up to
the tunnel. 1t then attacked the tunnel
timbers and burned through the entire
length of the tunnel, 900 feet. Fire trains
were promptly sent from Truckee and the
summit, but they could not enter the tun-
mel. That from Truckee could only prevent
the fire from spreading in that direction,
while that from the summit prevented the
fire from spreading at the west end The
tunnel itself was filled with smoke and
gases so that no one could enter it. Super
intendent Wright has sent big force Of
mechanics to repair the damage, but the
condition of the tunnel is not yet known.
If the timb bers are only partially burned and
there has been no caving of the earth trains
may get through within twenty-four hours.
In the meantime passengers, mail, baggage
and express matter will be transferred over
the tunnel, where cars will receive them.
