MARYLAND lsENATORsHIP.
First Ballot for Successor to Senator
German.

Annapolis, Nd, Jan. 1S.-The first bal
lot in the Maryland legislature for a
successor to Arthur p. German in the
United States Senate was taken to-day,
each branch balloting separately with
the following result:
McGomas, 81; Shaw, IL; Shryock, 8;
Findlay, 2; Parran, 6; Mullikin, i; Bar
Der, 6; Gurner, l. German, 43; Lowndes,
/; Page, l.; total. 100.
neutrality-suspicious., 2: Democrats, g.
Necessary to a choice 50.
The candidates are Judge Louis e. Nc
C0mas, of Washington county: Maj. Al
exander Shaw, General Thomas j..
Shryock, ex-Congressman John V. l..
Findley, all of Baltimore city; Thomas
Parran, Col. ]. G.. Mullikin, Congress
man Isaac Barber Milton Gurner.
Senator German is the Democratic eau
Gus nominee and Judge Henry Page re-
ceiyed the vote of one Democrat who re-
fused to abide by the decision of the
caucus because he believed the East
ern Shore" is entitled to the Senatorship.
But one ballot was taken and this leaves
the situation as much involved in un-
certainty as it was before the voting be-
gan. The preliminary skirmishing has
been attended with great bitterness and
dissention in the ranks of the Republi-
cans who have considerable majority
in both houses.
These dissensions have rendered it i'm
possible to bring about Republican eau
cus and there seems to be little proba-
bilitv that this method OF settling the
dispute will be resorted to in the near
future. The first break in the Republi-
can ranks came two weeks ago, when
eleven members of the House Of Dele
gates from Baltimore City refused to
caucus on the Speakership and by effect
ing q coalition with the Democrats,
elected one of their own number to that
office.
Without at least two of their num-
her. the Republicans are powerless 10
elect anyone, and with the aid of the
Democratic vote, the faithful eleven
as they have been nicknamed, may at
any time elect a man of their own choos-
ing or cause a deadlock until the end of
tke session thereby creating a vacancy
in tne United States Senate after March
4th. 1899, when Senator Gorman's term
expires.
There are many who believe that it
may vet be possible for Senator Gorma n
to succeed himself. if he can carry the
next legislative election in November,
1899. This possibility is. however, adj
ritted by the Democratic leaders . b@ a
very remote one, and they are looking to

reopen the matter. To this the United

II any one should ask you which is
the most wonderful machine ever in
vented, you would hesitate long
while between great number of in
vent!ons, such as the phonograph, the
klnetoscope, etc. But if you had
been with US to the pin mandatory l
think you would at once decide that
the ordinary little machine used to
manufacture pins would come very
near the mark of mechanical perfcc-
tion, since it stimulates the work Of
human intelligence more than any
other machine ever invented.
First the thin wire is drawn between
row OF sharp little teeth, which
sever 1t into even lengths at the rate
OF two pins second and at the same
time the machine gives each bit three
smart little blows with a hammer to
form the heads, and places them, head
down, into groove, whe.c they are
pressed forward to a set Of levers,
which rounds and points them by
friction too rapidly for the eye to fol-
low. All this seems very ordinary,
mechanical business; but now comes
the wonderful part. After the pins
have been pointed the queer little
machine takes them in hand, one
by one, and very carefully assorts
them, rejecting every imperfect pin,
sorting the different lengths, and
finally, taking exactly the right num-
Der by the heads, thrusts them into
