rs Missing the lay of shot he came
back with 10 to Spinks' q, but kept on.
and at the end of the fifth inning the
score was: Sutton, "a; spinks, 40. In his
fourteenth inning he scored IS, which

MARYLAND,s sENAroRsH1P.
Chances OF Mayor Master and Mai.
Shaw IMPROVING


Annapolis, Md, Jan. 2O.-The General
Assembly of Maryland. in joint session to-
day, took three ballots for a United States
senator without result The effect of the
days work is to leave the solution of the
senatorial problem in as much doubt and
the end of the struggle apparently as far
off as before the balloting began. While
II Is true that several of the leading can
didates made gains to-day, it is equally
true that both are far from the goal. ana
that both have shown nearly. if not quite
the fuIl extent of their present following
But one thing is clear, and that is the fact
that perfect sympathy exists between the
Democrats and boiling Republicans in the
joint balloting. This was clearly shown,
when, after the second ballot. an attempt
was made to adjourn the convention until
tomorrow. The Democrats and boilers
voted solidly against the motion and de-
feated it. The fact is that the eleven
are seemingly stronger than ever and are
fully under the control of their leader
There is now no doubt that the Demo-
cratic contingent stands ready to cast Its
ballot for Republican, but for whom
Is as yet unsettled, but the be-
lief that it will be William Master
Mayor of Baltimore, or Mai. Shaw, is
growing. and the Democrats no longer try
to conceal the fact that they would well
come such an outcome.
The Democrats have two points to gain
by protracting the struggle, the longer this
fight is on, the longer it disrupts the Re
publican party, and they have not aban-
doned hope of protracting it through the
session, thereby making it possible that
Mr.. Germans successor will have TO be
chosen by the leg stature which will meet
in January, 1900 There are rumors to-
night that the Democrats have agreed to
vote for Malster, provided he win guaran-
tee the necessary Republican vote to elect.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2O.-With the expira-

the Currency for the assent of the depos-

proposed for the Chestnut Street Bank
it was stated tonight that all depositors
had been favorably heard from, except
a few representing about $4,000. While
this prevents the plan from becoming at
once operative, it is hoped that it will soon
be effected and the statement from Con-
troller Dawes encourages the managers
who are anxious to AVOID the appointment
of receiver.
Apart from the few holding out deposit
ors, the state has not yet assented to the
PLAN and this may prove a stumbling
