The senate Ratifies n New ConNeh-
ton with Great Britain.

The Senate yesterday in executive ses-
sion ratified the supplemental eXtradltloh
treaty with Great Britain. The treaty
adds 10 the list of crimes for which
man can be extradited from one country
to the other the following: Obtaining
money under false pretence~, the destruc-
ton or obstruction Of railroads, the en-
dangering Of human life, and the pro-
curing Of abertions.
The treaty was not discussed at any
length. but Senator Mason asked several
questions about it. He pointed out that
the inclusion OF the crime of obtaining
money upon false representation might
prove a dangerous experiment. He sug-
gested that cases might arise under which
a person might be extradited Tor ordinary
debts.
senator Lodge replied that most Of our
treaties with other countries contain
provision similar 20 this. and said 1t was

TUESDAY THE
LVENTFUL DAY.
The Senatorial Question
Uppermost. Predic..
tons Being Made
AS to Senators.

Dover, January 14th. --Commenc.
Ing on Tuesday, the balloting for the
United States Senators will begin.
The Union Republicans CONSTITUTE
ing the leaders in Kent and Sussex
counties have held several conferences
since Wednesday last. The opinion
has been reached by the knowing ones
that Mr.. Addicks prefers to have a
Republican with him as his colleague
at washington, but it any funny
breaks are made, the Union Ropub-
! licans will enter into a deal whereby
MIR. Addicks and Democrat will Sc.
cure sufficient votes to be elected Sen.
atOrS.
This is not the politics the repre-
sentative Union Republicans want to
play but If they are not treated fairly
by being conceded one of the Sena-
torships and the candidate of their
own choice and selection, then the
Regulars will have to be salts fed with
what ever kind OF deal they may en-.
ter into.
1t can be DUPONT and Addicks or
Higgins, Hiles or any man the Reg.
ulars desire. The Union men don't
care who.
From what can be learned at the
Capitol 1t looks as IL neither Clark,
Pilljng Finn, Chandler, or Hodgson
would vote for Mr.. Addlcks for Unit
ed States Senator and without their
vote it will be impossible to elect him
without making a deal with the Dem
OcratS.
1t does not require money to do
everything, for man who is Senator
at Washington has the dispensing Of
considerable patronage and his word
goes good way In recommending to
the President who shall receive tire
offices.
II 1t was not for the patronage that
the Senators have al their disposal,
there would not be such a wrangie
over who should or should not receive
the favorable position.
AS it Is twenty seven men have the
absolute say as to who will be tho
two men who shall represent Della.
ware for four and six years respectful
ly in the United States Senate.
1t is thought that Mr.. Addicks can
safely rely upon IS votes at the start
with possibly gain Of two or three
votes on the second ballot which may
be increased one more vote, making
~ votes.
DUPONT IS conceded votes.
Higgins Is conceded votes.
Ilillcs is conceded 3 votes.
