IT is STILL A DEADL OCK
Three More Ballots Taken in the
Maryland Legislature.
BOLTERS HANG TOGETHER
Perfect sympathy Exists Between the
Eleven" and the Democrats They
Appear to Be Stronger Than Ever
and Under Perfect Control.

Annapolis. Md. Jan. 20-The general
assembly of Maryland, in joint session
to-day, took three ballots for United
States senator without result The hast
ballot resulted as follows: McComas,
40: Shaw, Is; German. A; scattering, ..
The effect of to-day's work Is to leave
the solution OF the problem as much in
doubt and the end of the struggle APP
parently as far off as 1t 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 ex-
tent of their present following. But
one thing is clear and that is the fact
that perfect sympathy exists between
the democrats and the bnIting republi-
cans in the Baltimore city delegation.
This was clearly shown when. after the
second ballot an attempt was made To
adjourn the joint convention until to-
morrow. the democrats and bolters
voted solidly against the motion and
defeated it, Another fact is that the
eleven arc seemingly stronger than
ever and are fully under the control of
their leader.
The democrats nave two points to
gain by protracting the struggle, for the
longer lHiS HSnt IS on the more II dis
rupts the republican party. and they
have not entirely abandoned the hope OF
prutraeting it through the session,
thereby making il possible that MI
Germans successor will have to be
chosen by the Legislature which meets
in January. 1900.
There are rumors tonight that the
democrats have agreed to vote for NAL
ster, providing he win guarantee the
necessary Is republican votes to elect.
