THE FACTIONS
Republicans of Delaware LegisIa-
ture Endeavoring TO Agree on
SENATOR GRAY'S SUCCESSOR
Eighty-Nine Ballots Have Been Taken
to Date and the Deadlock Remains
nchanged-Believed That No
Election VIII Occur.

Dover. Del. March 6.-Only five days re-
legislature and strong efforts are being
made TO harmonic the republican factions
thus securing the election of a successor to
United States Senator George Gray. With
this end in view q letter is handed to every
republican member of the general assem-
and Secretary Charles Dick, of the repub-
lican national committee, urging early
and final settlement of the senatorial ques-
ton. The letter says
I" We do not assume to advise in regard
to your duty as members of the legisa-
in close and bitter contests the will of the
majority is a safe guide. The republican
party at large is interested not only in
gaining a senator, but also in the future
success of the party in Delaware"
The communication is regarded as favor
jority of the republicans.
Eighty-nine ballots have been taken since
the voting for senator began on January
II, and the deadlock has continued I'M
changed, the slight shifting of the votes
each day not affecting the result. The be-
lief hero among the leaders is that the
legislature will adjourn finally ON Monday
next without filling the vacancy and that

VICTORY FOR ROEBER.
Defeats the Terrible Turk" at His
Own Game.

Boston, March 7.-Ernest Roeber defeated
the Terrible Turk in a Graeco-Roman
wrestling match tonight, winning the bout
which, under the conditions intervening
was also the match. The Turk was a giant
in stature as compared with Roeber and in
skill was his opponents equal apparently.
The conditions were to be two falls out Of
three, strange hold alone barred. Shout
ders to be pinned, flying or rolling falls not
to count. The match ended somewhat abb
ruptly. Roeber had repeatedly tried to
throw the Turk by means OF a head or
neck hold while the latter was on all fours
He failed each time to move the Turk,
and as a rule relinquished the hold and
returned to the center of the mat.
After 291s minutes Roeber had the Turk
once again on all fours, the latter with
his body arched and his face close to the
mat BY a quick MOVEMENT Roeber weak
ened the extended left arm of the Turk
and bringing it quickly to the rear started
a back hammerlock. Slowly the arm went
back in the dangerous position, and the
Turks manager acknowledged the defeat
in the fall for his man. Roeber, however,
refused to accept the fail and retained the
lcck as was his privilege. To save his
mans arm from being broken the Turk
manager gave up the match.
