HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. Pc. A. Van
Valkenberg, who is managing the anti-Quay
campaign, issued a statement tonight in
which he says the senatorial situation is no
longer complicated nor uncertain. Mr.. Van
Valkenberg claims Senator Quays strength
was at high tide when he received 113 votes,
which is just II short of a majority. Against
him are 139 votes, 81 are Democrats and 50
anti-Quay Republicans.
THE Quay managers have abandoned all
hope of securing single vote from the anti
Quay ranks he adds. But while admitting
that no Democrat will vote directly for
Quay at any stage of TIE contest, they as
sert with an air OF 7stery rather than
of confidence, that at the proper time
enough Democrats will be 1und to supply
the necessary fourteen votes that Senator
Quay must have to elect him. The Quay
machine is bankrupt IN the matter of po-
litieal patronage. - ne attempts Of the
Quay people to create friction between the
Democrats and the anti-Quayites have sig
nally failed. Senator Quay massed all his
strength to break the anti-Quay lines last
Wednesday and failed He has given or
ders that every effort must be made to
break them next Tuesday, but he will again
fail. Senator Quay may be able to pro-

A BIG SOUTHERN DEAL.
Another Immense Coal, Iron and Rail-
way Company.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 22.-The larg-
est business transaction made in the South
in ten years has just been announced here.
1t involves the investment of $15, 5,000O 900 and
is of vital Importance to upper East Ten
nessee and southwestern Virginia. The
Virginia Coal, Iron and Railway Company
has bought in the immense blast furnaces at
Max Meadows, Pulaski, Roanoke, Va, and
Bristol, Tenn; also the Bristol & Eliza
bethton and the South Atlantic & Ohio
railroads. Cash is paid for all the proper
ties. The company becomes the owner of
125, GOO acres of coking coal lands, 60 900 acres
of ore lands, two railroads and furnaces.
The railroads extend from Big Stone Gap,
Va, to Elizabethton, Tenn, passing through
Bristol, Tenn, and the rich coal and min
eral and timber lands of the new company.
The result of this immense transaction is
due to the efforts of Col. Il. J. Sanford, of
this city, who is also president of the Knox
vile & Ohio Railroad Col. c. NJ. AIcGhee,
of this city, who is known among the rail-
road magnates, and Mr. Ben Dulaney, of
Bristol, Tenn. Colonel Sanford and Mr.. Du-
laney interested New York people in the
enterprise and organized the company with
$500 600 stock subscribed, and the same
amount of bonds were issued and sold for
spot cash. E. d. Chapman of Moore &
Schley, the New York bankers, carried the
deal through, and that firm underworld the
bonds.
The Bristol furnace was purchased over
a year ago by Colonel Sanford and Colonel
McGhee, thereby forming a nucleus of what
has developed into such a strong concern.
This furnace will be put in active opera
tion Immediately under the management of
George L. Carter, president of the new COM
pany, and who for ten years has been presi-
dent of the Carter Coal and Iron Company.
The gentlemen composing the company
have also made propositions seeking the
purchase Of the furnaces at johnson City
and Embreeville, Tenn. The new company
will outrank the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Railroad Company as it is the strongest
company ever organized in the South for
similar purpose. Nothing has ever occurred
in this section which means so much for the
territory mentioned, as it will develop un-
told resources heretofore untouched. Upper
East Tennessee and southwest Virginia are
rich in coal, iron, zinc and other minerals,
together with vast forests of timber of
every description. The development of these
properties will begin at once.

west yfrginin senatorial F,eht.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 22.-As the
West Virginia Legislature has a majority
of only one on joint ballot for senator, and
that one is in dispute the present struggle
is called by some a state edition of the
Hayes-Tilden contest. The facuonai fight
ing was ended when John T. McGraw, last
Wednesday night, received the Democratic
caucus nomination and on the following
night N b. Scott was made the Repub-
hean nominee Since then both parties have
been working for partisan advantages on
the settlement of contested seats. The Re-
publicans are fighting to hold their own,
and have a majority of one, since two Of
the Republicans have been unseated in the
House. AS the Democratic majority in the
House threatens to unseat others, the Re-
publican majority in the Senate has pending
three resolutions for contests in the upper
branch. The ballotting for senator begins
tomorrow noon, but before that order is
reached it is expected that there will be
lively scenes in both branches of the Legis-
lature in the cross firing in the line of retail
iation. The ballotting may be continued
from day to day till both sides get enough
of the retaliation programme

E. B. TOWLE'S DANGER.
Attempt to Blow Up the House of
Packing Company Manager.

SOUTH OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 22.-About 8
o'clock this morning an attempt was made
to blow up with dynamite the residence of
T. B. Towle, the manager of the Omaha
Packing Company. At that hour man
named William Barrier, on his way home,
saw Pickering light on the porch. He ran
into the yard and hastily drew the burning
matter off the porch. SEEING a fuse at
tached to the package, he stamped the fire
out and called for an officer. The package
was taken to the police station. An expert
pronounced the contents dynamite. Upon
opening the package it was found to con-
tain six sticks of dynamite. No explanation
can be made for the attempt, except the
theory that the work was done by persons
recently discharged from the service of the
company. y reward of $1,000 has been Of
fered for the arrest of the perpetrators.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 22.-Managers of
senatorial booms in the city tonight affect
to believe that they see the end of the
struggle approaching and prediction is free
ly made that the present week may see an
election. In this connection the ten Republic
an votes from Douglas county (Omaha)
form the theme for most interesting gossip,
1t being stated that they will lead the break
whenever it comes. These ten votes have
been cast steadily for John l.. Webster and
while Mr. Webster's supporters insist that
he is still leading factor in the race, the
other candidates believe he will be satisfied
If by throwing the votes he controls to
some other candidate he can name the next
senator and thereby improve his chances to
succeed Senator Thurston two years hence.
