senator Ouar,s Eight.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 1S.-It would
NOT surprise those inside the Quay cir.
Gle 70 see the senatorial contest end to-
day in victory Tor Senator Quay.
The joint assembly will convene to day
for the first joint ballot. When the
Senate and House voted separately yes
terday the total Quay vote was 112
which was regarded as the nigh water
mark OF the senior Senator's strength.
During the night, however, it is said,
he gained few votes and ne may win
to-day. The alleged programme is to
have enough democrats friendly to
Qlay assent themselves in order to
make mis- present total a ajority OF the
joint assembly. 1t is quite evident
that he cannot be elected in any other
way. The democratic leaders say the
stories of defections from their ranks
are false. The excitement is intense
Il is almost certain that crisis has
been reached and the day will tell the
story.
The first ballot in joint session result
ed: Quay, 112; jerks, ST; Dalz=ll, 10;
Stone, 8; Stewart, 8; scattering 10. Tim
lin, who voted for Judge Smith yesteT-
day, voted fer jerks, making the
democratic vote solid for their candi-
date.
Senator Quay lacks IS votes of the
number sufficient to elect. DalzelI
gained two votes to day and his friends
are coFrespondingly jubilaut. jerks
gained two votes over yesterday.

4 Costly Bridge Mrecked.

CLEVELAND, o. Jan. 1S.-Shortly
before TWO clock this morning the dam
which had been piling up the water at
the new Wilson avenue bridge gave
way and the torrent swept down and
smashed two OF the bridge, piers. At
$50 o'clock block OF earth 500 cubic
feet in dimension, broke away, crushing
into the chaam below. Shortly before
ten o'clock two more of the bridge piers
collapsed and the assistant city engineer
says he has no hope that the structure
will be saved as it is creakiDg and has
sagged visibly and its collapse is immi.
nent. The bridge was built about six
mouths ago at cost OF $3.50, 900.
At 1870 a. NJ, the sixth abutment OF
the bridge gave way and the big via.
duct sagged lower, then, with
tremendous report, snapped in two,
above the great hole which had been
washed away beneath it. About $50
feet Of the bridge forms an incline to
the bed of the creek, below, where are
the tracks of the Nickle Plate Railroad.

IT WAS intimated in the Gaz=tte
when the opposition to Senator Quay
reelection was first made manife:t n
the Pennsylvania Legislature, that il
that Senator should require any more
votes than could be supplied by his
own party he might be able TO get them
from the democrats Reports from Har-
risburg ale to the effect that that iutims-
ton was correct But this Is not at all
surprising, for, from the first, Northern
democrats have failed when the fate CT
their party depended upon them, an6
unfortunately for the country, their e7 |
example is being followed by many
democrats in the South.

TIE jingoes and ezpaDsionists, now
that the indications Of the rejection Of
the Spanish treaty have become appar-
ent, say that that rel ection will be due to
democratic opposition, and that the
democratic party will be held response
BILE therefor by the people of the conu-
try. They say this, though the most
vehement opponents Of the treaty are
republican Senators. But, even if the
democrats be solely responsible for the
rejection OF the treaty, they will save
the country hundreds Of millions OF
money and untold dangers, and, what's
more, will be sustained by large ma
jority not only OF the intelligent people
OF the country, but also OF the voters
thereof.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JAN. Is, 1899

ONE OF the administration aud i'm
periali5tic journals of Washington asks,
'.if the democrats in the Senate are IN
willing to grant peace to the country
instead of wars continuance :" Near
" all the democrats in the Senate are
Southern men, who are peaceful by sad
experience, if by nothing else. They
are therefore not only willing, but an1-
ious for peace. but, for the life Of them,
thew can not see how the rejection OF
the expensive and dangerous Spanish
treaty, can possibly conduce to wars
continuance On the contrary, their
knowledge of men and things induces
them to believe that the rejection OF
the treaty would be the best means
that could be adopted to secure peace
not only at home, but abroad, and to
avoid the dangers necessarily incurred
by reason Of the late Spanish war.

Mr.. Perkins, of the committee on

Mr.. Bailey objected On the ground
that the report was an argument for
