Democrats May Not Assist In Sending
Seas" Addicks to Congress.
DOVER, Del, Dec. 26.-Democratic lead
ers from all parts of the State to the num-
Der of about l50. and including all Demo-
cratic Assemblymen-elect. except three.
held a conference to-day to consider the
situation relative to the election Of two
United States senators by the legislature
which will convene on Tuesday next, Jan.
1. No definite plan of action was decided
on, but the prevailing sentiment of those
who addressed the meeting and generally
of those present was that the Democrats
should use every endeavor to prevent the
election of j. Edward Addicks as one of the
senator's. The Legislature will be com
posed of twenty-three Democrats and
Addicks faction is believed to control eight
cen and eleven are expected to oppose Adj
dicks for senator. Should all senators and
assemblymen be present and vote on the
ballot for senator twenty-seven votes will
be necessary to elect.
State Chairman Willard Saulsbury pre-
sided at the conference to-day and urged
that the Democrats I'm the Legislature
should not enter into coalition with the Re
publicans unless the latter should agree
that the Democrats be conceded one of the
United States senators. Judge Biggs. for
mer attorney general and former state
chairman, advocated the voting for two
i-Addic Republicans. as did also At
torney General White. if the plan for the
election of one Democrat failed.

STORES FOR THE POOR.


NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-An appeal to
Andrew Carnegie. Miss Helen Gould.
Nathan Straus and all other wealthy
philanthropists will be issued by the Of
fcers of the Cooperative Brotherhood at
once. asking them to help the movement
of the brotherhood TO establish cooper
alive bakeries and provision stores for the
poor in this city. Bread and provisions
are to be sold in these stores at cost prices.
The necessities of life are to be sold with
out profit. One thousand dollars toward
starting a $500 cooperative bakery has
already been subscribed by members of
Bakers Union, No. l." said President
Storken. Il was one of the organizers of
the cooperative movement in Belgium and
have been engaged in work of this kind all
my life. Neither politics nor religion has
anything to do with our movement. Work
ingnaen of all religious beliefs and political
opinions are asked to join this movement.
1t already has a strong trades union back
ing of five thousand workmen, who are
ready to carry on this work unaided. But
at the same time. If there are any wealthy
phflanthropists willing to aid us we shall
jump at any offers of assistance that may
come from them. With the capital they
have at their command they could set the
cooperative movement in this country so
solidly on its feet that ii would last as long
as the Nation"

LONG FIGHT is CLOSING
CUBAN CONVENTION FACTIONS ARE
GETTING TOGETHER.
Plan of Government is Taking shape
Express Contract DecisiOn-Dady
Resents Recent ImputatiOns.

HAVANA, Dec. 26.-The various sections
into which the Cuban constitutional con-
vention was divided some weeks ago for
the purpose of preparing and submitting
drafts of constitutions for the considera-
ton of the convention as a whole are
gradually getting together on the basis
of a unitary government, with restricted
suffrage. The convention leaders now hope
to have this work completed by Jan. 10,
SO that the results may be submitted TO the
States Congress Feb. 1. The Sec
tional discussions have been bitter and
prolonged, n therefore there will be less
debate in the open sessions. the hard
fights having been made in the secret SUBJ
sessions in order to save public ~wrangling.
The Administrative Counci has decided
against the ~Pan-American Express Com
pany's contract with the island railroads
declaring it to be illegal. There was one
dissenting voice. and this makes it neces-
sary for Governor General Wood to send
the whole question before the Supreme
Court for review and final decision.
Charges rejecting on Michael j. Dady
having been made in the mayors Office in
contract, Mr.. Dady to-day denounced as
utterly false the statement that $4,000 had
been offered to Mayor Rodriguez with a
view of influencing his decision. AT the
same time he declared that If any one
would make an affidavit fixing the respon-
sibility for the slanderouS accusation he
would take steps TO procure the arrest and
prosecution of the instigator, even If 1t
should prove to be the mayor himself.
This is not the only OCCASION" Mr.. Dady
asserted, when an attempt has been made
TO blackmail me-"
So far as the contract is concerned, Mr..
Dady says he will fight to the finish. Senior
Nunez, the civil governor, is known to
hold that Mr.. Dady has not followed the
requirements of the law, and that there
fore the contract is illegal, void and of no
effect. 1t is understood that Gen. Wood
will sustain the civil governor and the
mayor, but he awaits a final judicial de-
cision.
