The deadlock is over! j. V. Quarles
will be formally elected United States
senator AT the joint legislative session
at noon today. The end came at the
republican caucus last evening with
dramatic suddenness, and by acclama-
ton. 1t was all over in an instant af-
ter the opening formalities had been
concluded. Assemblyman Zinn, an
ticipating Senator McGillivray, with
drew Stephenson's name just as
Babcock's would have been withdrawn
had McGillivray got the floor first. But
Babcock's came next, then Cooks
and Webbs and, with hurrah, all was
over. Then Quarles came and said
with characteristic eloquence how
much obliged he was and Babcock also
came with glad tidings of great joy A
grand loye-feast at the capitol and in
formal demonstrations at the Park
hotel concluded an evening of history
making. Up to the adjournment Sat
urday noon SO caucus ballots had
marked the contest. Five ballots in
open session were taken, including the
one yesterday noon. At the various
senatorial headquarters last night no
disappointment was manifested. Webb
was not on the scene Cook was com
placent. He had really hoped to win,
and yet his countenance depicted no
grief. Stephenson was serene but Sc
rious. He looks upon this fight as his
last for the toga Babcock was the
embodiment of cheerfulness. He had
made a nit by going to the capitol and
making a rousng party speech. Mr..
Quarles showed his happiness, but was
tired. All headquarters were thronged.
Each candidate will probably break
camp today

BRITISH ROUGH RIDERS.
Col. Baden-Powell's Volunteers at
Mafeking.

London. Oct. 19-CoI. r. S. s. Baden
Powell who commands the British
/ forces opposed to Commandant Crontje,
has raised two volunteer troops or bat
/ talions of South African Rough
/ Riders" The first troop was recruited
at Buluwayo in Rhodesia, nearly two
months ago, and nearly all Of its mem
/ bers are trained fighters, some of them
being ex-soldfers while most of the
remainder have seen service as mount
ed police in the employ of Cape Colony
or the South African company. The
men receive four shillings a day and
are found in everything. This is nearly
$50 a month-pretty good for private
soldiers. The term of enlistment is
three months, but the men agree to
stay with the coIors six months if their
services are needed.
The second troop is supposed TO have
been recruited in the diamond regions
at Kimberley, Vryburg, Mafeking, etc
When Col Raden-PowelI's force was
first recruited it was sent to Rama
thlabame. a small village sixteen miles
north Of AIafeking. a camp was formed
there next to the railway. at a point
where the frontiers Of Cape Colony, the
TransvaaI and the Bechuanaland pro-
tectorate meet Since the establish
ment of this camp the inhabitants of
both Mafeking and Vryburg have COM
planned that they were left defenseless,
and Col. Baden-PoweIl's force now ap-
pears to be at Mafel1ing prepared to
repeI General Crontje's army of the
west.
While those of the force who former
ly belonged to the border police are
good horsemen, the horses with which
they have been supplied are for the
most part unframed, and it will take
some little time to get them into shape.
None Of the men are accustomed to the
use of the Lee -Metford rife. the maga-
zine gun with which the British infan-
try is now supplied, and thus both men
and horses are a trife green and need
a little time to train. Few of the
Beers themselves are used to the
Nauser rife. with which they are now
supplied. The Mauser is a lighter gun
than the Lee Metford, but its magazine
only holds five cartridges to the Lee |
Metford's ten, while the British gup
has a larger bullet, longer range and |
greater velocity.
