u,-rsburs, Pa, Jan. 17-The end of the
g.. 3avs asat in the battle for United
c,.... senator leaves the result very much
doubt
MS senator Quay against the field, and
49,. ir5,estons are that there will be a
s.,7look lasting some days at least.
r5e R4publicaus are divided between Mr..
on,r and eight "favorite sons" and the
memorials are united on George A. jerks.
The Senate and House voted separately
.hfs afternoon. and will take a ballot to-
narrow in joint session. There was no
election to-day ana should the ballot
show no election tomorrow the balloting
will continue daily until a selection is
made
Senator Quay's total strength in both
houses was 1l2 votes, 16 less than the num-
her necessary to elect on joint ballot, as
sumng that the full membership of 254 is
present. a condition that does not seem pos
sjbIe as there are several on the sick list
now
The chief events of the day We're the
change in the state administration, the bal
lotng for United States senator, and the
delay in the cabinet appointments of the
new Governor. The custom is to send
the cabinet nominations to the Senate at
meeting of that body within a few hours
after the Governor takes his seat. There
was doubt as TO how GOV. Stones appoint
mems would be received, and they did not
reach the Senate until after that body had
adjourned for the day
Result no Surprise.
The result Of the vote for United States
senator was no surprise to those familiar
win the uaUon. II was conceded that
there would be no election to-day, and
not many people think there will be one
tomorrow.
The first ballot shows that there is prac-
tcally no break in the line of either Of
the Republican factions. OF the original
sgners of the auti-Quay pledge, Senator
Samuel A. Losch of Schuyikill and Repre-
sentative John ]. Shaw of Allegheny voted
for Senator Quay.
Representative Frank L. Snyder of Lu-
zerne, who was too i'll to qualify when the
legislature organized, took his seat to-day

Inc essence of the situation is that so
oas as the anti-Quay Republicans are
S-.'5d ana the Democrats vote for jerks,
senator Quay cannot be reelected.
