The Worcester Optical COMPANY Has
Not Selected a Permanent Location.
Manager S. B. Husselman of the Wor-
cester Optical company said last night
that there was positively no chance for
a guess as to the permanent location of
the company. He said that the story in
another morning paper yesterday, which
said that the Worcester company will de-
eide IN a few days whether to buy the
Southbridge plant of the Blanchard OPP
tical company, is several weeks late. 1t
was decided weeks ago not to purchase
the plant of the Blanchard company. ac-
cording to Mr.. Husselman's statement
last evening.
In speaking of the affair, Mr. Russell
man said: Worcester is good enough for
Us. Our. plant here is better than any
Southbridge can offer, In our opinion, and
we propose to stay here. To speak
frankly, the machinery of the Blanchard
company which is for sale is antiquated
This week we have had four brand new
pieces of machinery set up in our plant
at cost of several thousand dollars
Our eq Ajment of machinery will be the
very best and of the latest design. We
want no ancient methods"

QEUY'S OPPONENTS WIN
The r1cCarrelI Jury Bill Goes Over
 UniiI After inc Senator's Trial.

Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 15.-The anti
 in the house when they succeeded by
 the narrow margin of one vote in hav- ing postponed until March q, further consideration of the McCarreIl jury
 bill, the measure taking from district attorneys the right to stand aside iu-
 TOTS in eases of misdemeanor. The opponents of Senator Quay have
 charged from the first that it was framed for the sole benefit of the Beaver statement. Ordinarily the dem
 ocrats would be inclined to favor the
 bill, but in view of the fight on Sena-
 tor Quay it's was made one Of the features Of the fight and will probably not be further considered.
 Representative George R. Dixon, the democratic caucus leader made the principal speech against the bill and tion be postponed until March 21, the purpose being to put it safely away until after Senator Quay's trial. Dur ing the calling of the roll there was intense interest on the floor and in the galleries, and 1t required careful verifcation Of the vote to make clear which side had won. The vote stood 93 for postponment and 92 against, fifteen or twenty democrats voting with the Quay men in opposition to the Dixon motion.
 Congressman Joseph C. SibIey did everything in his power to help the Quay men pass the bill, and the Cuff fey lieutenants are intimating that Sibley is a failure as a leader, and that his interference in behalf of Sen ator Quay has been rebuked. Senator Quay's friends say that the defeat of their efforts in behalf of the McCarreH bill does not indicate anything with respect to the contest for the senator ship, but the anti-QUay men and dem ocrats are boasting of their victory There wasno change in the joint ballot and there is not likely to be any this week. Senator William Finn, leader of the anti-Quay republicans said to- night that the vote on the McCarreII bill indicated beyond question that Senator Quay cannot be reelected.

NOT TO CHANGE GERMAN ARMS.
Minister of War Says That Small Bore
 Guns Are Not a Success.

Berlin, Feb. 15.-GeneraI Won Goss- Ter, minister of war, replying in the reichstag today to the questions of the committee on military estimates, denied the report that Germany in tended to adopt a new small bore rifle. The experiment with such arms, he said, had not been satisfactory enough to warrant a change. Experience with small bore rifles in the SpanishAmeri- can war had proved unfavorable. Tie wounds inflicted by them were light and had mostly healed in a month.
 He further said that no change was contemplated in the style of pulled used. Germany certainly would not adopt bullet like the cum-dum. The adoption of such a bullet would be an ethical rather than military question. It would be a matter for the conference called by the czar to discuss.
