No Report ON RecaIcitrant witnesses
Made by the Senate

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 20.-The bribery in
vestigation matter was not before the Sem
ate to-day, as expected. The crowds waited
in vain during the morning session for a re-
port from the committee, consisting of SEN
ators Burke, Finck. Robertson. Long and
Garfield. that had unusual sessions the past
two nights. At its sessions Tuesday and
Wednesday nights the Senate committee
appointed to investigate the charges of Rep
resentative Otis, of Cincinnati, that he had
been offered $l.750 by H II. Boyce to vote
for Hanna, had before it Samuel PentIand
proprietor of the Neil House, where Hanna
had his headquarters; S. NJ Dunlap, man
ager of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany; w. f. TTuesdale. manager of the Pos
tai Telegraph Company, and f. NJ. Ross,

SENATOR WHITE CHOSEN.
Elected Chairman of Democratic Com
gressiOnaI Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.--The new Demo-
cratic congressional committee tonight
elected as chairman Senator White, of Cali
fornia. The election of secretary which
had been expected, was postponed to
await action by the organization committee
of seven, which will be appointed by the
new chairman. The election has attracted
a good deal of attention in the House, ow-
ing to its bearing on the speakership con-
test. Senator White was supported by the
friends of Representative Bailey, who are
favorable to that gentleman's candidacy in
case the next House is Democratic. Under
these circumstances considerable confidence
was expressed in Senator Whites election,
although Messrs. McRae of Arkansas,
oming and Miers of Indiana had been prom
inent in the race. Owing to this speaker
ship issue, however, the friends of Mr..
Bailey felt that it was desirable senator
should head the. committee. SO that the
craftsmanship and the speakership should
be entirely separated. The meeting was
quite fully attended, thirty-three members
being present, which, allowing for the sew
elal orphan States, made almost a full
representation. An unexpected dark horse
developed in Senator Cockrell, of Missouri
who was defeated by Senator White by the
narrow margin of Is to Is. AS to the secre-
taryship, it is generally conceded that Law
renee Gardner, the present incumbent, will
retire. The most prominent candidate be-
fore the organization committee is James
Kerr, former clerk of the House.
The meeting adopted a resolution reaff1rm-
ing its adherence to the Chicago platform.
The election of Senator White is regarded
as q distinct triumph by the silver men,
whose record on the subject of 16 to l was
unQueS tiOnable.

Think Present Laws Are Inadequate.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The opening ses-
sion of the national conference on practical
reform of primary elections was called to
order to-day in the rooms of the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation by John
r. Mulholland, chairman Of the temporary

days. In his opening address Mr.. Mulhol-
land mentioned the Civic Federation of Chi
cago, the secretary of the treasury, the Re
publican League of Buffalo, the allied po-
litical clubs of this city as having accom-
plished especially good work in the preim-
mary labors of the organization. He brief
ly sketched the initiative movement of re-
form, referring to the inefficiency of the pri-
mary election laws throughout the States
and the disadvantages ensuing therefrom.
Col John c. Calhoun, of Arkansas was
appointed temporary chairman of the con-
ference. He spoke at some length of the
benefits of primary reform, and said that
1t was very necessary to preserve the in
dependence of the American people, now
threatened by a concentration of power
Samuel b. Capen, president of the Munich
pal League of Boston, spoke in support of
primary reform. Prof. John r. Commons,
of Syracuse University read a lengthy pa
per entitled THE Legalization of Political
Parties" Simon Stern also spoke.

of Kentucky, spoke on the operation of the
primary election laws in that State; S. E.

MARYLAND DEADLOCK
THE SENATORIAL PROBLEM STILL
FAR FROM SOLUTION.
Democrats and Republican Boilers
Working in Harmony, and May FL
nalIy agree on Candidate.
NO CHOICE IN TENNESSEE
FOURTEEN BALLOTS BY THE DEMO-
CRATIC CAUCUS LAST NIGHT.
MIR. McMillin I'm the Lead-NO Report
on the Bribery Investigation Made
by the Ohio Legislature.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, JAM 20-The General
Assembly of Maryland. in joint session to-
day, took three ballots for United States
senator without result The last ballot re-
suited as follows: McComas, 40; Shaw, 1S;
German, Az Findlay, 2; Parran, 8: Mullikin,
2; Shryock, 2; total, ia.
The effect of to-days work is to leave the
solution of the senatorial problem as much
in doubt and the end of the struggle APP
parently as far off as it was before the
balloting began. While it is true that both
the leading candidates made gains to-day,
it is equally true that both are far from
the goal and that both have shown nearly,
if not quite, the full extent of their follow
ing. But one thing is clear, and that is
the fact that perfect sympathy exists be-
tween the Democrats and the bolting Re-
publicans in the Baltimore city delegation.
This was clearly shown when, after the
second ballot, an attempt was made to ad-
journ the joint convention until tomorrow.
The Democrats and the boilers voted solidly
against the motion and defeated it. An
other fact is that the eleven are seeming
ly stronger than ever and fully under the
control of their leader. There is now no
doubt whatever that the Democratic con-
tingent stands ready to cast it's ballot for
a Republican. Who that Republican will
be is as yet unsettled, but the belief that it
viii be William t. Malster, mayor of Balti-
more, or Major Alex. Shaw is growing, and
the McComas men no longer attempt to dis
guise the fact that they dread such an out
come AS to when the coalition will take
place is uncertain. The Democrats have
two points to gain by protracting the strug-
gle, for the longer this fight is on the more
il disrupts the Republican party, and they
have not entirely abandoned the hope of
protracting it through the session, thereby
making ii possible that Mr.. Germans sue
cessor will have to be chosen by the Legis-
lature which will meet in January 1900.
There are rumors tonight that the Demo-
Gratis have agreed to vote for Malster pro-
v:ded he will guarantee the necessary fif-
teen Republican votes to elect.

Tennessee Democratic Caucus.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 20.-The Demo-
cratic legislative caucus held to select the
party candidate for the United States
Senate met again at o'clock tonight, but
did not nominate The first ballot resulted:
McMillin, 81; Turley 80; Taylor, 19. Four
teen ballots were taken, during which Nc
Nillin lost two votes and gained two. Tur-
ley lost two and gained two, and Taylors
vote was unchanged. The last ballot stood:
McMillin, Ss; Turley, 80; Taylor. 49, A big
crowd was present. The caucus adjourned
until tomorrow night. The persistence
with which the supporters of each candidate
stand by their choice causes the growing
belief that prolonged deadlock is immi-
nent.

Lessons of Life.

The frnit of success does not grow on
the tree of idleness.
1t ia not wise to neglect present 0ppor-
%tunities in the hope of meeting greater
Ones.
The man who has resisted temptation
is safer than one who has yet to meet
the tempter.
Listen to the advice of the man who
has failed and follow that of him who
has succeeded.
There is but little that man may not
accomplish, but do not seek that
which is unattainable.
No man ever climbed a ladder at a
bound. Each round represents a step
in the progress of achievement.
Battles are won only by fighting, and
the more earnest the fight, with might
and mind fully engaged, the greater will
be the victory.
The farmer never Ii we'd WHO couId
reap a crop without SO wing seed, and
the crop he reaps shows the kind of seed
he used and how he sOwed it.
An imitator may reapa measur Of
success, but it will only serve to show
how much greater he might have be-
come had he been original.
The simplest thoughts reach and
touch the hearts of men. From the
dnllest pigments artists have painted
their most brilliant masterpieces. Tho
meanest materials are used in the con-
struction of great edjfices. Therefore,
do not scorn humble objects.-EdncatOr.
