POLITICS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Representative Bingham Thinks Re-
pubIicans MAY Lose Two Districts.


Representative Bingham Of Pennsylvania
said today that it was possible the republi-
cans might lose two districts in Pennsylva-
mia and a district here and there in the
south and elsewhere. but that he thought
they would hold the House.
Speaking of the approaching session. he
said he thought there was more to do than
could be done within the limits of the short
session. Among other things, he said. the
reorganiza tion of the army would have to
be provided for, and he thought that an
Increase of the regular army to hundred
or a hundred and twenty-five thousand
would have to be made with some degree
of permanerce.
He thought that in the peace negotiations
Spain would have to yield to any demands
We made and that the Island of -Luzon
would be yielded by Spain.
Representative Wnnger's Views.
Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania
said to n Star reporter today that the
political situation in Pennsylvania this year
was greatly mixed, and that his own party
Ghe republicanS) were having good deal
of p row.
1.-The anti-Quay people," he said. "are
trying all they know how to beat Mr.. Quay,
and the result is some curious combina-
tions in some wards and counties and dis
tricts where there has been fusion between
democrats and anti-Quay republicans. The
result of this will probably be that the re-
publican majority Will not be quite as large
as usual and the legislature may possibly
be close
THE most material thing, however, Is
that it puts, perhaps, three or four con-
gressonal districts now held by the re-
publicans in some jeopardy. There are
tEree districts, which, while l do not think
we will lose them, are put in danger, and
will have to be fought hard for l do not
