NOT ENOUGH TRANSPORTS.
Wnr Department VIII he Delayed In
Sending Reinforce mems TO MnniIn

WASHINGTON, March THE purpose of
the administration to send large reinforce
ments TO General Otis at Manila presents a
serious problem of transportation TO the
officers OF the quartermaster' department.
About 7.50o troops. are under orders to pre-
pare for transportation for the Philippines
by way of San Francisco and the Pacific
ocean. The only troop ships available for
this service are the Arizona, Scandia. New
port Morgan City and Zealandia. The last
named is the only one at San Francisco, all
the others being i'm the Orient. The Zealan-
dia is now undergoing repairs and will not
be ready for sea for three weeks She is a
small steamer with a carrying capacity of
only six hundred men. The steamer City of
Pueblo. which has been used i'm the govern
ment transport service, has been reclaimed
by her owners, on the expiration of the con-
tract time and they have refused to renew
the contract. The main dependence Of the
government, therefore, in the transportation
of reinfOrcements TO General Otis rests upon
the transports now i'm eastern waters The
capacity of these steamers is as follows:
Arizona, 100; Scandia. 1890; Newport, GOO;
Morgan City, 700. According TO latest ad-
vices these vessels will sail for San Francisco
during the next few days The schedule is
as follows: Leave HongKong, Arizona,
March 9; leave Nagasaki, Newport, March
10; Scandia, March IL; Morgan City, March
Il. 1t will take these vessels about month
to make the long trip across the Pacific.
so the quartermaster's officers will have
ample time to arrange for the organization of
the expeditions. In addition to these ves-
sells three other transports will shortly be
available for the service between the Philip
pines and the United States. These are the
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. now on vari-
Gus stages of the route between New York

KANSAS DEADLOCK BROKEN.
End of n sharp Fight Between Repub-
Iicnns and POpulists.

TOPEKA, Kan, March Z. - The Kansas
Legislature finished its business tonight and
will adjourn sire die tomorrow A dead
lock that has prevented all legislation for
three days past was broken tonight by the
yielding of the Republican House to the de-
mands of the Populist Senate. The strife
grew out Of judicial contest in the district
composed of Nemah. Brown and Doniphan
counties. The returns were in favor of
Judge Brown, a Republican, but his Popu-
list opponent, Falcon, filed a contest before
the State Senate, in accordance with the
Kansas law. The Senate postponed action
on the contest until near the close of the
session, when the majority brought in bill
appropriating $1,000 TO defray the expenses
of the Senate sitting in special session to
consider the contest. The Republicans de-
nounced this as a salary grab and killed the
measure, whereupOn the Populist senators
added the appropriation measure to the ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill as a
rider. Then came the deadlock. the Populsts
absolutely refusing to pass the appropria-
ton bill without the rider.
After d turbulent session to-day both sides
weakened. The Republican House passed
special bill appropriating $4,000 for the spe-
cial session of the Senate, and this the Pop
ulis- senator's accepted, after which they
passed the appropriation bill. The Governor
will veto the bill, but the senators say they
will hold the special session and rely upon
tie next Legislature ID pay their expenses.

HARRISBURG. Pa. March "A meeting
of the committee to inquire into the charges
of bribery i'm connection with the passage of
the McCarrel jury dill in the House, was
held this evening and developed some SEN
sational testimony. The first witness called
was Col. George Nox Mccain, staff corre-
spondent. at Harrisburg, of the Philadelphia
Press. Mr. Mccain said that Peter j. Criste,
representative from Northumberland coun-
ty. told him that he was approached by an
individual and told that it would be worth
81 900 TO him TO vote for reconsideration of
the bill. Subsequently he admitted to the
witness that ii was ex-Representative
Thomas MoyIes, of Wilkesbarre. who said
he wanted the bill to become law, as it
would help him ont in case in Luzerne
county, in which he was "a defendant.
John p. Dwyer, also of the Press, testified
that Representative John Engler. of Ly
coming county. told him that hs met
Michael j. Costello, former resident Of
Williamsport. and escorted him TO the Boil
ton House, Harrisburg, where they met ex-
Senator John j. Coyle, of>Schuylkill county
Mr. Coyle told Engler that he understood
he was a Roman Catholic, and asked him
to vote for the bill because Archbishop
Ryan wanted it TO become a law. Witness
$500 to vote for the bill and put his hand in
his pocket and said he would give him 800
at once. Coye said ne used TO do this when
he was a member of the Legislature and
that IL Engler would go along on this bill
he would put him in on several other bills
and that he could make more on the outside
than his salary as a member of the House.
Mr.. Engler refused TO accept the money and
left Coyle.
Mr. Engler testified that Costello met him
at the Bolton House and took him TO a room
at the Lochiel Hotel and introduced him TO
ex-senator CoyIe. Coyle said he used to be
In the Legislature and that he took every
thing that came his way. Engler corrobo-
rated Dwycr's testimony TO COyle's al
legged offer of 800 TO vote for the bill and TO
pay the balance when the witness voted and
that if Engler would so along on this bill he
would take him In on FIVE or six other bills
Mr. Criste said he knew Moyies and was
a member of the House with him in 1895
MoyIes told witneSs that there We're three

saw the witness subsequently and asked him
to vote for the reconsideration of the bill
Moyles was under indictment i'm Luzerne

anxious 10 have the bill passed. About this
time ex-senator Coyle came in and said

from Windsor to-day after having been
formally presented TO Queen Victoria and

ciated Press that he was much gratified at

household, Colonel Lord Edward William

LINCOLN, Neb, March THE most
stubborn senatorial contest in the history
of this State ended tonight, when Judge
Hayward, of Nebraska City, was nominated
in the Republican caucus as the successor
Of William V. Allen. The action of the
night will be formally ratified at noon to-
morrow at the joint session of the Legis-
lature. Judge Haywards selection i'm the
caucus came the second ballot. 1t fol-
lowed a brief note of withdrawal sent TO
the caucus by John l.. Webster, OF Omaha,
which released his supporters, who i'm
mediately began changing their votes to
Hayward. In the midst of the uproar
Speaker Clark, of Lancaster county, moved
that Judge Hayward be made the unani-
nous choice of the caucus, and it carried
with cheer.
Judge Hayward has been urged as the
logical Republican candidate since the cleo
tion in November decided the policical COM
plexion of the Legislature AS the Repub-
lican nominee for Governor, he made an
exceptionally strong canvass, reducing the
fusion majority in the State materially. He
has led in strength since the legislative bal
loting began, but was handicapped until re-
Gently by the hostility to a caucus and the
fact that he had united field against him.
The contest closes with less bitterness
manifested than was TO be- expected, his
leading opponents joining in congratua-
tions.
Monroe Leland Hayward, nominated for
United States senator, to succeed William V.
Allen was born in Wllsboro, Essex county,
New York, Dec. -, 1910. His ancestors came
to this country before the revolution. At the
outbreak of the civil war he enlisted in the
afterward transferred To the Fifth Cavalry.
He was discharged in Dece mber, 1862, ow-
ing TO disability arising from sickness. On
returning home he entered Fort Edwards
College Institute, where he completed his
education. His father had removed to Wis
studied law at Whitewater and came TO
Nebraska in 1861. settling al Nebraska City,
where he has resided ever since and prac-
ticed his profession. He never held any Of
flee except that of member of the state
constitutional convention in 1873 and short
the remainder of term by appointment
from the Governor. He was the Republican
candidate for Governor last fall cutting the
fusion majority down from 1900 to 1900.
He has a wife one daughter and two sons,
one of whom, Edwin p, is a surgeon in
a lawyer and was a captain in the Second
Nebraska during the late war. He has ac-
cumulated comfortable fortune.

Moyles called Criste out into the hallway
and urged him TO move for the reconsidera-
ton of the McCarrell bill. Moyles told
Criste what to say when he made the mo-
tion. and promised if ne would make the
motion there would be 1000 i'm it for the
witness. Criste told Moyles TO write out
what ne wished him to say when he made
the notion and while he was doing so the
bill came up and Criste went into the House
and voted 10 adjourn 10 prevent a recon-
sideration of the bill. Mr.. Criste said that
after the adjournment Coyle came to him
and told him he made mistake In not vot-
ing for the bill; that 1.-The fellows over

This remark created general laughter
Mr. Voorhees, of the committee, asked
that the names of Messrs. Coyle, Costello

THE DELAWARE CONTEST.
Effort to HaImonize the Warning Re.
publican Factions

DOVER. Del, March 7.-Only five days
remain before the final adjournment of the
Legislature, and strong effort is being made
to harmonize the Republican factions, thus
securing the election oI a successor to
United States Senator George Gray. With
this end in view a letter was handed to
every Republican member of the General
Assembly to-day, signed by Congressman
c. III. Grosvenor and Secretary Charles
Dick Of the Republican national committee.
urging an early and final settlement of the
senatorial question. The letter says:
I'VE do not assume to advise i'm regard
TO your duty as members of the Legislature.
but do want TO impress you that in close
and bitter contests the will of the majority
Is safe guide. The Republican party ar
large is interested not only I'm gaining a
senator but also in the future success of
the party in Delaware"
The communication is regarded as favor
ing Addicks, as he has the support of a
majority of the Republicans. Eighty-nine
ballots have been taken since the voting
for senator began on Jan II, and the dead
lock has continued unchanged, the slight
shifting of the votes each day not affecting
the result The belief here among the lead
ers is that the Legislature will adjourn
finally on Monday next without filling the
vacancy, and that Delaware will get along

branch of Congress until 1901

secretary adds: I'VE have not expressed
disapproval of the action of the British
agent, who acted under instructions, and
Lord Salisbury informed the French am
bassador (M. Paul Cambon) on several oc-
casions that he considered the British con-
tention absolutely right and that it was
impossible TO recede therefrom. We hold
that the action of the British agent in
threatening a bombardment of Muscat was
absolutely right. BY the convention OF 1862
there is nothing TO prohibit France from
having a coal store at Muscat. provided
there is no concession of territory. and IL is
understood that France will avail herself
of this power, subjecteSo those limitations"
The discrepancy between the versions OF
the Muscat incident given by NJ. Delcasse,
the French foreign minister. and William
St John Broderick. parliamentary secretary
of the British Foreign Office. has started
lively press discussion on both sides OF the
channel. Mr.. Broderick read his statement
in the House of Commons yesterday from
manuscript, which, it is understood, was
dictated by Lord Salisbury. The Times,
discussing the matter editorially refers TO
the story of VI. Delcasse as 'transparently
misleading and, in common with other
papers, invites the government to publish
the official documents bearing on the case,
so as to set the question at rest
