Serious Split Promised Among Re
publican Legislators.

annapolis Nd. Jan. 4.-What prom
ises to prove a serious split among the
Republicans il the Maryland legisla-
ture developed tonight, when an at
tempt w>s made to caucus for officers
for the general assembly, which con-
venes tomorrow. Twelve of the IS
members from Baltimore City refused
to ta,-e part in the caucus, and after
waiting for an hour beyond the APP
pointed time, the other Republicans
met without them.
The recalcitrants are known as NAL
ster" men, because they are adherents
of that faction which recently dethron-
ed United States Senator Wellington
from the leadership of the party and
elected their candidate for mayor of
Baltimore. in spite of the regular or
CARNATIONS effort to defeat them.
Tonight's action is looked upon as a
protest against the proposed election of
Judge McComas to the United States
senate TO the seat now occupied by
Senator German, and it is asserted that
the ''Malsterites'' will combine with the
Democrats ard organize the lower
house tomorrow. unless their demands
are complied with

OUR COUNTRY INTERESTED.
Senator Frye Takes This View of Dis
memberment of China.

memberment OF emma.
New York, Jan. 5.-Senator Frye of
Maine, discussing the oriental ques-
ton with the Washington correspon-
dent of the World, said:
This country is vitality interested in
the situation in China. We have very
great interests there now, and will
have much greater in the future, which
would be destroyed by the partition of
the empire. / fancy, however, that the
Acknowledgement will not occur. 1t will
not unless all the powers, excluding
the United States, reach an agreement
to share the territory. While England
and Japan resist, l think there can be
no partition of China"
Would we suffer less from a parti-
ton agreed upon thus than we would
from one in which England and Japan
did not participate?" was asked.
1--WE would suffer more, because that
would mean an agreement of policy
between the foreign powers, and that
policy would be antagonistic to this
country. Our moral influence should
be used to prevent the contamination
of the design. If Japan and England
continue to oppose the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of China, our moral support must nat
urally be with them"

TELLER ON CHINA.
Colorado Senator Urges Action
Against Dismemberment.


New York, Jan. At is our duty
to prevent the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
China" said Senator Teller of Colorado
to the World correspondent in Washing
ton last night. I'VE should join with
Great Britain in q notice to Russia
and Germany that dismemberment will
not be permitted.
Even without Great Britain we
should give such notice. Almost our
very existence as d nation is involved.
Should we permit it, we would have
nothing more than a mere existence.
When it is admitted that the United
States cannot interfere, it should be
understood what a failure to interfere
will involve The Acknowledgement of
China means the cutting off OF our
commerce in the orient, and the intro
dUction OF a competitor who will de-
prive us Of the rest Of the world, and
even supply our own people.
I'VE cannot permit this without be-
coming a third or fourth rate nation
We would have to submit to the domin-
alton Of an absolutism among the ma
tons; our own institutions would take
ON a decline. and the civilizatio nrepre-
scented by this government and the
English government would cease to
progress.
I'VE would suffer more than any
other people. We have more involved
and would be more directly injured It
is folly therefore to say that we should
have nothing to say.
IF this ACKNOWLEDGMENT is permitted
our treaties with China fail and we
shall have to deal with the powers who
take possession of the Chinese terri
tory. Russia will get the biggest slice,
and if she is not particularly a COM
petitor of ours now, she will then be-
come one. Germany and France are
not likely to get much out of the di-
vision of the empire. Russia will be
the great power.
But however it is divided barrier
will be erected against our trade. After
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT we cannot say to
the governments that have taken pos
session of China that we have certain
treaty, rights. They will reply that
there is no China, and therefore no
treaties.
But that is not the worst of it, If
this ACKNOWLEDGMENT occurs, the people
of what is now China will become the
producers for the whole world A COM
petitive production and trade will be
introduced, against which other people
cannot successfully contend. The eco
nomic conditions of the world will be
changed.
THE people of China have a greater
power of production than any other
like number of people. All they need is
to be aroused, and to have their efforts
properly directed. Inspired by the en-
terprise and energy of Germany and
Russia, they would become the produc-
ers of the globe, and would produce so
cheaply there would be no COMPETE
tiOn''

Congress Will Be Asked TO Appro-

pirate For One at Paris.
Washington, JAZZ. 5-Senator Mason
will soon prepare and introduce a bill
in the senate providing for a special
appropriation for a cOrn-meaI exhibit
at the Paris exposition. He hopes by
this means to second the efforts of our
representatives in Europe in widening
the markets for the abundant corn crop
of the United States.
In the fiscal year ending June, 1897,
the United States exported 100000
bushels OF corn and 100000 barrels of
corn meal. The total corn crop of the
United States is over 400, 900, 900 bushels,
and it is capable of indefinite increase,
if q market ca nbe found for it.
For some years the United States
maintained g. special commissioner,
Murphy by name, whose duty it was
to introduce corn meal in the various
continental countries. In Germany he
was quite successful, and "MurfybrOd,
or Murphy bread" made from half and
half mixture of -four and corn-meai,
became so popular that the 6grarian
interest there managed to have the tar
if raised so as TO check it's importation.

There has, it is said, been marked
