ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 25.-Judga
Lewis E. McComas was today elected
united States senator to succeed Ar
thur p. German. The ballot upon
which he was elected, the first of the
day, and the eighth since the contest
began, resulted in his getting sixty
three votes to four for Alex. Shaw, of
Baltimore, the only other Republican
who remained in the race. Senator
German got forty-seven votes, the
fulI Democratic strength in both
houses. The break TO McComas came
as the result Of last nights caucus, at
which f1fty-three members were in at
tendance, and at which Judge Nc
Comas was practically unanimously
nominated. Ten Republican delegates
from Baltimore city and Senator West
colt, of Kent county, however, refused
TO take any part in the caucus or to
consider themselves bound by it, and
up to the hour of noon today, when
the balloting was resumed, no one not
in their councils knew how they meant
to vote, but it was generally thought
they would stick to Shaw to the end,
thereby creating a deadlock. 1t was,
therefore, with the most intense inter.
est that the balloting was watched,
ana when the name Of Senator West
colt was reached and he after brief
speech, changed his vote from Shaw to
McComas, everyone saw that the end
was near and the cheering was
tremendous. Speaker Schaefer was
the next of the recalcitrants to come
into line. Then one by one five of his
associates in the "bolt" against the
rule Of the majority, followed his ex-
ample, ex-Congressman F'indlay's only
remaining. supporter did likewise and
the vote stood sixty-two for McComas
to four for Shaw. Then Delegate
Jacob changed his vote, but four
others, Messrs. Quasi, Baldwin, Short
and Delacour, all of Baltimore city,
stuck to the Baltimore city candidate
to the last and went down with flying
colors.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. %. - The
Democratic caucus met again tonight
and took eighteen ballots. The last
and eighty-fifth ballot stood: McMil-
lin, 81; Turley, 81; Taylor, 26. The in
dications still point to a determined
deadlock. and the feeling is growing
that there may be no election Of a SEN
ator. Both houses Of the legislature
vote in joint convention tomorrow. but
there will be no election.

II. S. Kent, Of Cleveland, O.. was in
the city yesterday and reported that the
whole state of Ohio was just about re-
covering from the excitement Of the late
senatorial contest. He said it was gen
orally admitted that Senator Hanna had
spent a great deal Of money in being
elected, but none Of the wheelhOrses Of
the party could be made to believe that
Senator Hanna would deliberately offer
a bride as charged. He said that about
80 per cent of the rank and file Of the
Republican party, including the work
ingmen, were staunch supporters Of
Hanna, and that the few who tried to
defeat him were actuated by a personal
spite, and were the disgrunted element
OF the party. The senatorial contest had
caused almost as much excitement as
the presidential election had, and the
Republicans were jubilant over the out
come Mayor McKissOn, who had been
the ringleader of the opposition against
Mr. Hanna, was at the bottom of the
charges of bribery, and was trying his
best to prove them. SO far little prog
ress had been made.

mill had recently opened up giving en-

Creating on Army Quickly.

Lieutenant 8. M. Foote of the Fourth United States artillery describes in his prize essay his plan for raising an Amer ican army in hurry in case we should suddenly be attacked by a foreign coun- try. It is to be hoped such thing will never happen. It is sound policy to be ready for such an event, however. Americans must not forget how to march and carry arms.
 Lieutenant Foote's essay is published in the army periodical with tho name of ''The Journal of the Military Service Institution. If it took general as long to give an order on the battlefield as to pronounce the name of that mili- tary journal, there might indeed be danger that foreign army would come on us unawares. For Notifications and for armies in the field the lieutenant estimates that 460, GOO volunteers would be needed, with from 20, 000 to 25, 900 officers. His idea is to have the plan of volunteer army already prepared and N1OuShb buO Ou pdpcIt Wtbu nhblCsJu regiments ready to be filled at a days notice. Each state should Do ready to furnish its quota of infantry, cavalry and artillery, and the plan would be so complete that there would be no con- fusion and little delay. The officers for the army should be named and appoint ed, so that the men could drop in line, the officers would take their place at the head and at the signal off they would go. Tho means of subsisting this great army should be always fa- miliar to those who have such mat ters in charge ill the United States mil itary service While we need no stand ing army, it is not best to let all mili. tary preparation lapse during these times of profound peace.
 Lieutenant Foote believes that with their standing armies and powerful navies any of the nations of Europe could be completely ready to attack us in a month if war were declared, while we would be defenseless.

 Uncle Nose came down from the country to visit his son, who worked in the livery stable. Unolo Nose was a deacon in little country church and was noted for his long. fervent prayers, but when his son Ike took him to the colored church in the city and when he heard the organ and gazed upon the we'll dressed darkies lie felt as if the Lord was long ways off. Uncle Nose had met the parson the day before, and what was his surprise when that person said during services, Well all join in pra r wid Brother Nose Smith. " Uncle Nose went down on his knees and threw his deep voice and soul in prayer which shook the rafters. As he came to the close his old white head was shak- ing and his voice was bringing each saint and sinner to the shouting point:

THE QUICK HORSE.
An outgrowth of Improved American
 Methods of Fire Fighting

Methous or Fire t1ghting.
 In St. Nicholas there is an article on "The Quick Horse, by F. s. Dellen- baugh, devoted to the horses of the mod ern fire department Mir. Dellenbaugh says: It is only within recent years that quick horses have been developed and appreciated and admired, and the poet has not yet attempted to sing the praises of this more prosaic but noble animal. Yet, after all, to one who carefully ex- amines the matter the quick horse ap- pears to have quite as good, if not a bet. ter, claim upon our admiration and sympathy and encouragement. The swift horse wins the race, and in these days he may cause considerable money to change hands. in which there is cer- tainly nothing that is commendable. But the quick horse write about saves life, saves property and under modern conditions of life is essential to our safety and general well being. He is the result indirectly of poor building an outgrowth of our skillful American fire departments which could not now exist without him.
 Not so very many years ago when a fire broke out everybody far and near began to run and especially began to yell, and the volunteer firemen of that time being in the service for the excite ment of it, joined in the yell and start ed out the old hand engine from it's sol emn repose, while the foreman running ahead shouted innumerable orders noarsely through his trumpet, to the great delight of hundreds of small boys panting to keep up in the glorious race.
 The fire-that was altogether a see- ondary matter, and when they all final. ly got there they went to work with more or less efficiency There was a great deal of fun in the business, but fires were not extinguished. Our cities in the early days were not built to pre- vent fires, but seemed, if anything, ra- ther built to encourage them.
 In France we may well be amused as we watch the pompier corps trundle its bathtub on wheels to the scene of the conf1agration and deliberately fill it's apartments with water dipped up from the gutter, whence it is thrown by 8 little pump upon the flames, because we know much of the architecture there is solid, and if the fire is not extinguisbed it will soon burn itself out. But in our country mere spark may in few seo- onds become a devouring furnace and destroy house after house and block aft CT block. Many buildings are finder boxes, and our dry climate adds to their infammability, while the ever present careless or lazy workman by improper construction gives the fire it's first op- portunity.

Cooperative Real Estate.

h one way and another the example set by the great corporations and trusts is bearing fruit among the common peo- pie of America, who are not slow to learn things to their advantage. They are finding out that if few rich men can put their large means together into capital sufficient to prosperously carry on great and lucrative enterprises many poor people can put together their small means and thus form working capital equal to the conducting of any business successfully.
 This is shown in the system of co. operative real estate ownership now be- coming popular in the largest cities, Here real estate is so high in price that TO one maa of small means can hope to possess any in his own right. But ha may own one of U thousand shares ill piece of real estate and draw propor- tionate percentage of its earnings h. vestnent companies, fortunately usual- ly reliable, are organized for the pur- chase of land and the building thereon of houses. The person of small means buys So many shares in these companies and receives generally to 6 per cent interest or dividend on his money.
 The incomes are derived from rents, and if well managed all expenses can be paid and dividend of , to per cent cleared for the investor. Thus if one poor person cannot hope to own great hotel 100 poor persons can do so and get their share of rent and profit.
