NAVAL PERSONNEL BILL.
House Aecomplishes What Navy
Officers Have Long Desired.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE house
today passed the naval personnel bill,
without division, on the final passage,
thus accomplishing what the officers Of
the navy have striven for during more
than a decade. By its provisions the
line and engineer corps are welded into
an amalgamated line, staff officers are
given positive rank, but their command
Is limited to their own corps, and a
system of voluntary and compulsory
retirement on three-quarters' pay as
of the next higher rank of forty officers
a year is established, which is design
ed to remove the congestion in the
lower rank at forty-ive. The bill also
practically eQualiZes their pay with
that of army officers. Three important
amendments were adopted: one creates
a judge advocates court, another
abolishes prize money, and a third pro-
vides for the retirement On three-quar-
ters pay Of enlisted men and petty
officers in the navy, after thirty years
service. But the most important
change in the bill, as reported, was
the adoption, after a hard fight, of a
substitute for the organization of the
marine corps by which the corps is to
consist of 5000 enlisted men and petty
officers, with general officers and staff.
This will increase the marine corps
by 1900 men, and increase the cost of
its maintenance s., 500, Geo.
Several unimportant bills were pass
ed by unanimous consent before the
personnel bill was taken up.

EITHER DIRECTION
DEADLOCK is NOW CERTAIN
ture Do Not Anticipate an Early
Decision in the Contest for the
United States Senatorshfp-Anti
Quay Contingent Divided on
Question of Candidate.

HARRISBURG, Pa, JAM 17.-The
end of the first days fight in the battle
for United States senator leaves the
result very much in doubt. 1t is Sen
aIor Quay against the field, and the
indications are that there will be a
deadlock, lasting some days at least
The Republicans are divided between
Mr. Quay and eight "favorite sons, -
and the Democrats are united on
George A. Jenks The senate and house
voted separately this afternoon and
will take a ballot tomorrow in joint
session. There was no election today,
and should the ballot show no election
tomorrow the balloting will continue
daily until selection is made Sen
ator Quay's total strength in both
houses was 112 votes, sixteen less than
the number necessary to elect on joint
ballot, assuming that the full member
ship OF 254 Is present, a condition that
does not seem possible, as there are
several quite sick now
The result Of the vote for United
States senator was no surprise to
those familiar with the situation. It
was conceded that there would be no
election today, and not many people
think there will be one tomorrow. The
first ballot shows that there is prac-
tically no break in the line of either
Of the Republican factions.
The essence OF the situation is that so
long as the anti-Quay Republicans are
united and the Democrats vote for
jerks, Senator Quay cannot be re-
elected. His friends are confident,
however, that he will steadily gain
votes after tomorrow, while the lead
ers of the other side are just as con-
fldent that he has reached the high
water mark
The anti-Quay Republican senators
and members have agreed to meet
daily until the fight is settled. They
are divided On Congressman DalzeIl
and Stone and other independent Re
publicans. Their leaders say it Is too
early to concentrate on one candidate
against Senator Quay. There does not
seem to be any prospect of g. conbi-
nation between the anti-Quay Repub-
lcans and the Democrats on the SEN
atorship. Although not single vote
was cast in either house for State Sen
ator Chris Magee, of Pittsburg, he is
regarded as the most important factor
in the contest. Many of Senator Ma
gees friends in both factions are pre-
dieting that their favorite will be
chosen to succeed Senator Quay III the
event Of it being demonstrated that the
latter cannot win.
The result of the ballot for United
States senator in the sonata woe a
follows: Quay, 27; jerks. II; DalzeiI, 8;
Irwin, 1; Huff, /; Charles E. Smith.

SENATE Lines CLOSE
MGOvERS, OF WASECA, THE ONLY
NON-REPUBLICAy TO VOTE
FOR DAVIS
HE HAD so PLEDGED EARLY
Gov Lind's Nominations Were Hung
Up by Il Previously Adopted Rule,
Evidently I'm Anticipation of a
Fight on the Nomination Of Cor
ser for Surveyor General of the
Minneapolis District.

Beyond the formal casting of its
solid Republican vote for Cushman
Kellogg Davis reelection as senator,
the senate's most important action
yesterday was the adoption of a rule
requiring appointments by the gov
ernor to wait one day before confirma-
tion.
1t is an official secret, but common
gossip, that the nomination of E. 8.
Corseri of Minneapolis, for surveyor
general Of logs and lumber for the
Minneapolis district, is the provoking
cause of this rule, but the purpose
was mildly disguised under the style
and plea that the twenty-four hours
was needed for the inquiry of
the senators and the information of the
public.
1t Is promised that if an attempt is
made to defeat the nomination of Mr..
Corser. in executive session this morn
ing, strenuous fight VII be made
against the secret sessions.
AS matter of fact the contest
waged on Corser is Republican pie. for
his rejection will no doubt continue
the present surveyor general, s. s.
Brown, in Office until after the ad-
journment of the legislature, Gov. Lind
having satisfied himself of the fitness
of Mr.. Corser
When the election Of senator came
up as special order Senator Horton
(Rep), Of Ramsey. nominated the same
man who had served, as he said, his
state and his nation SO eminently for
twelve years, but never more so than
during the last year. The United
States had ungloved the iron hand Of
war in the interest of humanity alone,
had Won glorious victory, and to con-
tlnue in keeping with 1t, it was neces-
sary that there be able men in the na-
tional councils and men with souls
and hearts, concluding: ~ nominate
c. K. Davis"
Senator Baldwin Dem.) of Duluth,
said he rose to present the name of a
man who was not soliciting the honor,
man known throughout his state and
his nation. He was a man who, when
his party left the course which he
thought was right, had left that party
and declared for those principles which
he thought We're just to the people at
large Always close to the people, q
matchiess orator, who always held
spellbound the thousands to hear him
whenever he spoke, he presented for
the senatorial nomination the name of
Charles A. Towne, of Duluth
As the roll was called, Senator Nc
Govern Dem.), Of Waseca, explained
that he had to deviate from the course
that party mandate might reasona bly,
dictate. 1t was the judgment of the
people in his district that the present
senator should be reelected, and in
pursuance of his duty to his constitu-
ents, many of those who voted for him
being Republicans, he voted for Davis,
as he had intended throughout. He
won considerable applause. The vote
