An Effort to Relieve the Oppose

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15.-John Wanna
makers formal withdrawal from the sena-
torial fight is 10 be announced soon. This
is the statement made by his closest
friends. BY this is not meant cessation
of Mr. Wanamaker's fight against Colonel
Quay as United States Senator, but sim
ply the taking out OF his own name from
consideration as a candidate for seat in
the Senate.
1t is believed that the declaration will be
made in the form of letter which will
be made public through the agency of the
Business Mems League. Members OF the
legislature who are friendly 10 Mr.. Wanna
maker have stated it as a fact that he
has already withdrawn his name. They
understand that his decision will be made
known generally as soon as the United
States Senate acts upon the question Of
Quay's admission on the strength of Gov
ernor Stones appointment. II is sald 10
be Mr.. Wanamaker's purpose to enter upon
the fight with zeal from the time OF the
announcement, and to lead an agitation
which will be kept up without cessation
until November for the election OF legis-
lators who will vote against Quay, for a
constitutional convention, and for ballot
reform.
Many men opposed to Quayism hcsitated

first OF the series Of meetings Of the in

that part IF the plan of campaign ought
TO be a public pledge from certain leaders
that they were not candidates for the SEN
atorship. How far this ''pledging" may
extend can only be surmised. II is not be-

defeat the purpose aimed at, which is to

BULLOCK'S DOMESTIC TROUBLE.


Trial of the kabeas corpus suit of Henry
w. Bullock against his wife, Jessie Bull
lock, and her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Robertson, was resumed in Room /,
Superior Court. yesterday. Inc plaintiff is
an attorney of this city. He was counsel for
Holmes, the murderer who was executed
in Philadelphia two or three years ago
Bullock and his wife are living apart
against his wishes, and he is trying to get
possession of his little daughter, Flossie.
He charges that his wife and her par
ents have conspired against him. Bullock
claims that he went away to New York
on business and that his wife assisted
him in getting away. When he returned a
few months later, his wife had broken up
housekeeping and had gone TO live with
her parents at ia North West street He
says the family would have nothing to do
with him and would not receive the money
he sent there to his wife
She disappeared in April, 1899, he says,
and he finally located her i'm North Caro-
lima with her relatives. He says the let
ters he sent to her and her friends were
returned to him unopened. Mrs. Bullock
does not want to live with her husband
again. She declares that her only reason
in leaving him was because he could not
support her. She says that Bullock wanted
her to join him in opening an institution
for the purpose of teaching bookkeeping
by correspondence. She declined to take
part in this kind of a scheme because she
did not know enough about bookkeeping
she said. Bullock she said, also had
another scheme by which he proposed to
make "a pocket full of money" This was,
to deliver lectures and show stereopticon
pictures portraying scenes in the Spanish
American war. Some letters which Bull
lock had sent his wife that were returned
unopened were opened in court, the plain
tiff shrewdly preserving them. Some of
them contained money.
