KIPLING IS CoNvALEsCING.

New York, March mir. Doubleday
tonight reported both Rudyard Kipling
and his little daughter. Elsie. to be slow
ly but surely convalescing. Mr.. kipling
has not yet been informed of the death
of his child. Josephine. and he will not
be told until he is practically well. She
was his favorite, and the physicians
dread the possibility of an i'll result
should he learn of her death in any
manner.
Some of the more important cable
grams and messages are daily read to
Mr.. Kipling. and occasionally he is al
lowed to read them himself. Every
such message is carefully censored how
ever, to prevent the father from reading
even an illusion to his loss Great guam
titles of flowers continue to be sent to
the Grenoble by friends of the Kip.
lings.
At 10 o'clock tonight Dr. Doubleday
said that Mr.. Kipling had done splendid
ly during the day and had made more
progress toward recovery than on any
preceding day.
Mrs. Kipling. accompanied by her sis.
ter, Mrs. DIR. Dunham and DR.. Conland
of Battleboro, VT, early today left the
hotel, where the author lies. Shortly
after 2 O'Clock they returned with flow
ers in their hands. 1t was presumed
that they had been to tine funeral OF
Mr. Kiplings daughter. Josephine.

SUCCESSOR TO SENATOR GRAY
Republicans Working Hard to Harmon
ize All Factions.

Dover, Del, March Only five days
remain before the final adjournment OF
the Legislature, and strong effort is be
ing made to harmonize the Republl-
can factions, thus securing the election
of a successor to United States George
Gray. With this end III view letter
was handed to every Republican member
of the General Assembly today signed
hv Congressman c. ii. GrosvenOr and
Secretary Charles Dick. of the Repub-
lican National Committee, urging an
early and final settlement of the Sena-
torial question. The letter says:
I'VE do not assume to advise in re-
gard to your duty as members of the
Legislature, but do want to impress
on you that in close and bitter contests
the will of the majority is a safe guide.
The Republican party at large is inter
ested not only in gaining a Senator, but
also in the future success of the party
in Delaware"
The communication is regarded rs
favoring Addicks, as he has the support
of majority of the Republicans.
Eighty-nine ballots have been taken
since the voting for Senator began on
January 18th and the deadlock has con-
tinued unchanged, the slight shifting of
the votes each day not affecting the re-
suit. The belief here among the leaders
is that the Legislature will adjourn
finally on Monday next without filing
the vacancy and that Delaware will get
along with only one Representative in
the upper branch of Congress until 1901

Some Hot Testimony in the McCarrell
Jury Bill Case.

Harrisburg, Pa, March IA meeting
of the committee TO inquire into the
charges Of bribery in connection with

and developed some sensational testi-
mony. The first witness called was
Colonel George NoX Mccain, staff cor
respondent at Harrisburg of the Phila-
delphia Press. Mr.. Mccain said thar
Peter J. Cristc. Representative from
Northumberland county, told him that he
was approached by x-Representative
Thomas MOylps. of WilkcSbarre, and
told that it would be worth 81
600 to him to vote for the reconsidera-
ton of the bill.
John =. Dwyer, also of the Press, tes-
tilted that Representative John Engler,
of Lycoming county, told him that he
met Michael ]. Costello, a former resi-
dent of Williamsport, and escorted hin,
to the Bolton House, Harrisburg, where
they met ex-senator John ]. Coyle, of
Scbuylkill county. Mr.. COyle told
Engler that he understood he was a

for the bill because Archbishop Ryan
wanted it to become law Witness

him $500 to vote for the bill. and put his
hand in his pocket and said he would
give him $500 at once. Coyle said he
used TO do this when he was n member

"put him i'm on several other bills and
that he could make more on the outside
than his salary as n member of the
House.

him at the Bolton House and took him
to a room at the Iochiel Hotel and
introduced him to ex-senator Coyle.

the witness how he felt on the McCar-
rell bill. Coyle said he used to be in the
Legislature. and said he took everything
that came his way. Eng}sr corroboFated
Dwyer's testimony as to Coyle's alleged
offer of 5000 to vote for the bill and
to pay the balance when the witness
voted and that if Engler would go along
on this bill he would take him in on
FIVE or six other bills.
Mr.. Criste said h knew Movies and
was member Of the House with him in
1893. Movies told witness that there
were three in ii if he would vote
for the bill. Moyles saw the witness
subsequently and asked him to vote for
the reconsideration of the bill. Movies
was under indictment in Luzerne county
for conspiracy and said he was anxious
to have the bill passed
An hour later Movies called Criste
out into the hallway and urged him to
move for the reconsideration of the Me-

of the act passed by the present General
Assembly establishing what is denOmi-
mated as the Corporation Commission.
The decision in the case may develop
rights appertaining to Mr.. Wilson, of
which he is not aware. and the protest
was made because on this view Mr..
Wilson desired to avoid the attitude of
having abandoned any right that he may
have.
If the Corporation Commission act
should be declared to exist as to the
office now held by Mr.. Rogers, Mr.. Will
son simply desires to be in the position
of not having abandoned his right to
assert his title to the same if he should
decide TO do So
Mr. Wilson will of necessity be gov
erned by the developments of the Abb
bott case. He would not think for u
moment of permitting vacancy to oc-
cur, which the Governor might fill i'll
